ANALYSIS
The subject site contains an existing 4,684 square-foot single-family residence with a 1,196
square-foot detached garage at 2801 Alta Drive. The applicant is proposing to convert the
existing detached garage to an Accessory Structure (Class I), complete with living facilities and a
kitchen. The use is permitted in the R-A (Ranch Acres) zoning district with the approval of a
Special Use Permit.
According to Title 19.12, an Accessory Structure (Class I) use is defined as An accessory
structure which is located on the same residential parcel as a principal dwelling and which, as an
ancillary use, provide living quarters, including full kitchen facilities, for the occupants of the
principal dwelling or their tenants, domestic employees or temporary guests. The proposed use
meets the definition, as the applicant is proposing an accessory structure providing living
quarters, including full kitchen facilities on the same lot as the applicants principal dwelling.
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include:
1. The size of the lot or parcel must exceed 6500 square feet.
GK
SUP-57894 [PRJ-57836]
Staff Report Page Five
The proposed use meets this requirement, as the parcel is 40,000 square feet.
2. Unless the principal dwelling is owner-occupied, a Class I accessory structure may not
be offered or occupied as a rental unit.
The proposed use meets this requirement, as the owner has stated in the justification letter, date
stamped 02/10/15, that the principal dwelling is owner-occupied and is not intended to be used
as a rental unit.
The addition of the accessory structure is consistent with the 2020 Master Plan Housing Element
which states: Providing a mix of housing types is important to a community that desires to be
responsive to its residents. A diversity of housing types and prices is desirable so people can age
in place. With diverse housing, families can move within the same housing development or
neighborhood and social networks can remain intact; children need not be uprooted from familiar
schools and elderly persons can remain near friends and families. Also, If alternative housing
opportunities are not available within the same neighborhood, the residents are forced to leave
the neighborhood to which they are accustomed. It is important, therefore, that a wide range of
housing choices be made available within the same neighborhood.
The proposed project meets all Title 19 requirements for an Accessory Structure (Class I). The
proposed structure can be construed in a manner that is harmonious and compatible with the
surrounding land uses and is consistent with the intent of the Housing Element of the Las Vegas
2020 Master Plan; therefore, staff recommends approval of this request. If denied, an Accessory
Structure (Class II) can be built; however, conventional cooking appliances would not be
allowed.
FINDINGS (SUP-57894)
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 Accessory Structure (Class I) use will be located on a property with a singlefamily residence and can be operated 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.
GK
SUP-57894 [PRJ-57836]
Staff Report Page Six
2.
The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use proposed.
The proposal to convert the existing detached garage to an Accessory Structure (Class I)
adheres to all minimum requirements as outlined by Title 19; as such the 0.92-acre site can
physically accommodate the proposed Accessory Structure (Class I) 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.
Primary access to the site is provided from Alta Drive, an 80-foot wide Major Collector, as
classified by the Master Plan of Streets and Highways, which can provide adequate access
for the Accessory Structure (Class I) use.
4.
Approval of the Special Use Permit at the site in question will not be inconsistent with
or compromise the public health, safety, and welfare or the overall objectives of the
General Plan.
This use will be subject to building inspections via the permitting process; therefore, it will
not compromise the public health, welfare or safety.
5.
The use meets all of the applicable conditions per Title 19.12.
The proposed Accessory Structure (Class I) use meets all of the applicable conditions of
Title 19.12.

ANALYSIS
The Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment 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 only for
consumption on the premises where the same is sold.
The proposed use meets the definition, as the provided site and floor plans show a 49,827 squarefoot Commercial Recreation/Amusement (Indoor) use (a movie theater). Per the applicants
justification letter, beer and wine will be sold as an added amenity for adults to consume while
viewing a show.
The minimum Special Use Permit requirements for this use include:
1.
Except as otherwise provided, no Beer/Wine/Cooler on-sale establishment (hereinafter

establishment) shall be located within 400 feet of any church, synagogue, school, child
care facility licensed for more than 12 children, or City park.
The proposed use meets this requirement, as there are no legally established protected
uses within 400 feet of the subject property.
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 on-site parking
and which has been created so as to avoid the distance limitation described in
Requirement 1.
The proposed use meets this requirement, as the measurement is taken from the existing
property line located at the southeast corner of Smoke Ranch Road and Rainbow
Boulevard.
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:
MR
SUP-57969 [PRJ-57785]
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.
This requirement does not apply to the proposed use, as the parcel on which it is
proposed 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 to the proposed use, as no distance separation waiver 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 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.
Neither condition applies to this application.
6.
All businesses which sell alcoholic beverages shall conform to the provisions of LVMC
Chapter6.50. (Nonwaivable)
The proposed use should meet this requirement, as it is a condition of approval of the
Special Use Permit.
The proposed use will be located within an existing move theater within an existing shopping
center with retail and office uses. The site meets all Title 19 parking required for the Shopping
Center use. The existing site provides cross-access and shared parking throughout the entire
commercial center. There are no legally established protected uses within the minimum distance
separation. The proposed use (a Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment) can be conducted in a
harmonious and compatible manner with the existing and future land uses. For these reasons
staff recommends approval of this application. If denied, the movie theater may remain open;
however, no alcohol may be served on the premises.
MR
SUP-57969 [PRJ-57785]
1.
The subject location is an existing 49,877 square-foot movie theater within a Shopping
Center with office and other retail uses and can be operated in a manner that is harmonious
and compatible with existing surrounding land uses, and with future surrounding land uses
as projected by the General Plan.
2.
The subject site is physically suitable for the proposed Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale
Establishment use, as it will be operated within an existing Shopping Center with adequate
parking and access.
3.
The subject site has shared access to existing driveways onto Rainbow Boulevard, an 80foot Major Collector (as designated by the Master Plan of Streets and Highways). The
proposed use will not increase the intensity of the existing use; therefore, the existing
roadways are adequate in size.
4.
General Plan.
The site will be subject to the business licensing process, building permit reviews and it
will be subject to annual building, fire and licensing inspections. Approval of this Special
Use Permit will not compromise the public health, safety, and welfare, or the overall
objectives of the General Plan.
5.
The proposed Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment use meets all the applicable
minimum requirements of Title 19.12.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting to amend Special Use Permit (SUP-29867) to allow for a 1,216
square-foot expansion to an existing 1,428 square-foot Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment
use at 7331 West Lake Mead Boulevard, Suite #105. A distance separation Waiver to allow a
City park 100 feet from this establishment was approved in conjunction with SUP-29867. An
additional distance separation Waiver is not required, as distance between the proposed use and
protected use has not decreased and the use has not intensified. The expansion of this use is
compatible with the other uses within the shopping center and surrounding neighborhood. All the
Title 19.12 requirements for the Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment use are met. For
these reasons, staff recommends approval of the requested Special Use Permit, with conditions.
If denied, no alcohol may be served on the premises, when the expansion area is completed.

Tenaya Avenue, a 80-foot Major Collector. The proposed use will not increase the
intensity of the existing use (a Shopping Center); therefore, the existing roadways are

ANALYSIS
The Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment use is defined by Title 19.18 as an establishment
MR
SUP-58105 [PRJ-57623]
The proposed use meets the definition, as the provided site and floor plans show a 2,200 squarefoot restaurant with 500 square feet of outdoor seating area. Per the applicants justification
letter, date stamped 02/26/15, beer and wine will be sold only in conjunction with meals and
will not be permitted in the outdoor patio area. A Condition of Approval was added to ensure
alcohol will not be consumed in the outdoor seating area.

The proposed use meets this requirement, as there are no legally established protected
uses within 400 feet of the subject property.
2.

6.
Special Use Permit.
The subject site is located within 500 feet of a city boundary; therefore, the request is deemed a
Project of Regional Significance. The required documents have been completed and distributed
to the appropriate agencies. No comments were returned.
The proposed use will be located within a proposed restaurant within an established shopping
center with other retail, recreational and office uses. The existing site provides cross-access and
shared parking throughout the entire commercial center. The site meets all Title 19 parking
required for the Shopping Center use. There are no legally established protected uses within the
minimum distance separation requirement. The proposed use (of a Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale
Establishment) can be conducted in a harmonious and compatible manner with the existing and
future land uses. For these reasons staff recommends approval of this application with
conditions. If denied, the restaurant may open; however, no alcohol may be served on the
premises.
MR
SUP-58105 [PRJ-57623]
1.
The subject location is a proposed 2,200 square-foot restaurant within a Shopping Center
with office and other retail uses and can be operated in a manner that is harmonious and
compatible with existing surrounding land uses, and with future surrounding land uses as
projected by the General Plan.
2.
Establishment use, as it will be operated within an existing retail center with adequate
parking and access.
3.
The subject site has shared access to existing driveways onto Decatur Boulevard, an 80foot Major Collector (as designated by the Master Plan of Streets and Highways), and
secondary access to Tropical Parkway, a 60-foot Minor Collector. The proposed use will
not increase the intensity of the existing use; therefore, the existing roadways are adequate
in size.

5.
The Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale use meets the applicable minimum requirements of Title
19.12.

ANALYSIS
The subject property is located within the boundaries of the Las Vegas Redevelopment District,
and has a C (Commercial) land use designation. The Commercial designation allows uses
comparable to the following land use categories: SC (Service Commercial), GC (General
Commercial), and O (Office). The proposed Beer/Wine/Cooler Off-Sale Use is consistent with
the land use designation.
The subject site is zoned C-2 (General Commercial). Development is subject to the standards
contained within Title 19.12. Beer/Wine/Cooler Off-Sale Establishment use is a permitted use
within the C-2 (General Commercial) zoning district with approval of a Special Use Permit.
The Beer/Wine/Cooler Off-Sale Establishment use is defined as An establishment whose
license to sell alcoholic beverages is limited to the sale of beer, wine and coolers to consumers
only and not for resale, in original sealed or corked containers, for consumption off the premises
where business is conducted, and is operated in connection with a grocery store, drug store,
convenience store, restaurant or general retail store. The proposed use meets the definition per
the justification letter as being in conjunction with a proposed grocery store.
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include:
1. Except as otherwise provided, no beer/wine;/cooler off-sale 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.
The proposed use does not meet this requirement, as a City park is located within 245
feet of the location. However, a Waiver is permitted in connection with a proposed
establishment having between 20,000 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. The proposed establishment meets the criteria
and is supported by staff.
2. Except as otherwise provided in Requirement 3 below, the distances referred to in
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

This project was submitted to outside agencies for comment. The Las Vegas Valley Water
District responded as follows: This parcel is currently served by LVVWD. Civil and plumbing
plans will need to be submitted to LVVWD for domestic meter sizing and fire flow availability.
This location has a history of being used as a grocery store with accessary alcohol sales. The
most recent similar business closed three years ago. The applicant requests to re-establish the
proposed use that has operated in harmony with the surrounding area for several decades.
1.
The subject location consists of a shopping center. Although a Waiver of the minimum
distance separation requirements from a protected use is required, the use can be conducted in
a harmonious and compatible manner with surrounding land uses as has been demonstrated at
this location over the years.
2.
The 20,623 square-foot retail building is designed to accommodate the proposed use. Although
the site is parking impaired, this site has adequate parking for all uses, and the proposed use
does not generate the need for any additional parking spaces.
YK
SUP-58109 [PRJ-57880]
3.
The proposed Beer/Wine/Cooler Off-Sale Establishment use can be accessed from Charleston
Boulevard and Maryland Parkway (both are 100-foot wide Primary Arterials). Both roadways
have adequate capacity to serve the needs of the proposed use.
4.
General Plan.
The proposed Beer/Wine/Cooler Off-Sale Establishment will be subject to regular inspections
by regulatory agencies for business licensing, and will therefore not compromise the public
health, safety and welfare, or the overall objectives of the General Plan.
5.
Other than the requested distance separation Waiver requested, all code requirements of
Title 19.12 are being met.

ANALYSIS
The Summerlin Development Standards defines the Pubs, Bars, & Lounges use as, A place
where the sales and service of alcoholic beverages are sold by the drink, where meals are not
required. The proposed use meets the definition above, as the provided floor plan and
justification letter detail the sale of beer, wine and coolers in conjunction with a restaurant to be
consumed on the premises only. There are no minimum Special Use Permit Requirements listed
by the Summerlin Development Standards.
The applicant is requesting a Special Use Permit to add a Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale
establishment to an existing restaurant use at 9691 Trailwood Drive, Suite #105. Currently, the
subject site consists of an existing 12,452 square-foot general retail building within the P-C
GK
SUP-58158 [PRJ-58007]
(Planned Community) zoning district [VC (Village Center) Summerlin Land Use designation].
The existing restaurant is 2,700 square feet in size with a 900 square-foot outdoor seating area
and has seating for 106 people. The Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale use will be ancillary to the
existing restaurant. The applicant has indicated in the justification letter that the proposed
Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale use will allow the existing restaurant to provide more sophisticated
adult friendly environment, by providing alcoholic beverages to complement their meals.
The 12,452 square-foot commercial building has active business licenses for general retail,
office, commercial recreation/amusement (fitness center), general personal service (nail salon),
and restaurant. According to Title 19, the existing uses require 116 parking spaces but the site
only provides 61 spaces. The subject site is parking impaired, however the requested
Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale establishment does not require additional parking beyond what is
required for the principal use on the site. Therefore, the parking impairment does not increase as
a result of this request.
The proposed Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale use adheres to all minimum Special Use Permit
requirements as outlined by the Summerlin Development Standards. In addition, the subject site
is not located within 400 feet of any church/house of worship, school, individual care center
licensed for more than twelve children, or City Park, which meets current Title 19.12
requirements for the proposed Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale use. Staff has added a condition of
approval requiring the business conform to all provisions of LVMC Chapter 6.50 with regards to
an alcohol license. It has been determined that the proposed Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale 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.
1.
The proposed Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale use will be ancillary to the existing restaurant
use at the subject site. The proposed use is compatible with the surrounding land uses and
can be conducted in a manner that is harmonious with surrounding land uses.
2.
GK
SUP-58158 [PRJ-58007]
The proposed use will operate in conjunction with an existing restaurant located within a
12,452 square-foot commercial building. The proposed Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale use
will be in addition to the existing restaurant and will have a negligible increase in traffic
and parking to the existing site.
3.
Access to the site will not change. Vehicles may enter the property from Village Center
Circle, an 80-foot wide Collector Street and Trailwood Drive, a 70-foot Collector Street, as
classified by the Transportation & Streets and Highways Element. The proposed use will
not increase the intensity of the existing use, and therefore, the roadway is adequate in size.
4.
General Plan.
The proposed Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment will be subject to regular
inspections by regulatory agencies for business licensing and will therefore not
compromise the publics health, safety and general welfare, or overall objectives of the
General Plan.
5.
The proposed use meets all applicable conditions of approval for a Beer/Wine/Cooler OnSale use per Title 19.12 and the Summerlin Development Standards.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The 0.46-acre subject site is located at 1025 and 1039 South Main Street and currently consists
of two vacant commercial buildings. The applicant is requesting to demolish the two existing
buildings and construct three commercial buildings totaling 14,410 square feet. The subject site
is located within the 18b Las Vegas Arts District of the Downtown Centennial Plan. As
proposed, the commercial buildings are in compliance with the minimum requirements as
outlined by the Downtown Centennial Plan. Staff recommends approval of this request as it will
provide a positive contribution to the future development of 18b Las Vegas Arts District and the
surrounding downtown area.
The Board of City Commissioners approved a Rezoning from R-4 (High
Density Residential) to C-M (Commercial/Industrial) on property generally
09/25/63
located north of Charleston Boulevard and west of 2nd Street. Planning
Staff administratively approved a Final Map (FMP-52217) for reversion to
12/31/13
acreage of six lots totaling 0.47 acres at the northeast corner of Boulder
Avenue and Main Street. The final map has not been recorded.

01/29/15

The existing 6,738 square-foot commercial building at 1039 South Main
c. 1942
Street was constructed.
The existing 4,110 square-foot commercial building at 1025 South Main
c. 1963
Street was constructed.
A building permit (#6000156) was issued for building repairs at 1039 South
01/10/06

GK
SDR-58133 [PRJ-57565]
Staff held a pre-application meeting with the representative to discuss the
requirements for a proposed commercial development on two lots within the
18b The Las Vegas Arts District. Staff determined that a Site Development
Plan Review would be required to demolish the two existing buildings and
01/14/15
construct three commercial buildings. Staff also determined that the
Downtown Centennial Plan Streetscape Standards would not be required
along Main Street, as the city of Las Vegas Department of Public Works is
currently in the process of providing the off-site improvements.
Field Check
03/05/15
Staff performed a routine field check and noted two vacant commercial
buildings on the subject site. In addition, the required Downtown Centennial
Plan Streetscape has already been installed along 1st Street.

*Projects located within the Las Vegas Downtown Centennial Plan area are not subject to the
automatic application of parking requirements. However, the above table should be used to illustrate
the requirements of an analogous project in another location in the City.
ANALYSIS
The project proposes to construct three commercial buildings totaling 14,410 square feet on 0.46
acres at 1029 and 1035 South Main Street. The subject site is located in the C-M
(Commercial/Industrial) zoning district, which is a general commercial and restricted industrial
district designed to provide for a variety of compatible business, warehouse, wholesale, office and
limited industrial uses. This district is intended to be located away from areas of low and medium
density residential development. The proposed retail and restaurant uses are appropriate for the C-M
(Commercial/Industrial) zone. Although this site is within the Live/Work Overlay district and the AO Airport Overlay (200-foot height limit) there are no live/work units and the maximum proposed
height is at 28 feet. Thus, the proposal is not affected by the requirements of these additional overlay
districts.
The subject site is located in the 18b The Las Vegas Arts District and is within the boundaries of the
Las Vegas Downtown Centennial Plan. Pursuant to Title 19.10.110 properties within the Downtown
Centennial Plan area are exempt from the automatic application of development standards for
building height limitations, setbacks, lot coverage, residential adjacency, standard landscaping
requirements, and standard parking requirements. The Arts District is intended to accommodate a
wide variety of commercial and residential uses within a dense, urban environment with its own
unique design standards.
The 0.46-acre subject site currently consists of two vacant commercial buildings. The applicant has
indicated that the existing two vacant commercial buildings at 1025 and 1039 South Main Street
will be completely demolished and removed. The proposed 14,410 square-foot commercial
development consists of a 3,545 square-foot single story building, a 3,665 square-foot single-story
building and a 7,200 square-foot single-story building. The applicant has detailed in the submitted
justification letter date stamped 02/26/15, that each building will be utilized for general retail and
restaurant uses. Within each of the three buildings commercial space, is an open floor plan to
provide maximum flexibility for future tenant improvements. All three buildings provide outdoor
seating areas for future restaurant uses.
GK
SDR-58133 [PRJ-57565]
The site encompasses two parcels with the three proposed buildings to be built across existing lot
lines. The applicant has stated the intent to create a single-lot commercial subdivision, which
typically requires a tentative map review and final map technical review prior to any building
permits being issued. A condition of approval has been placed by staff on this request to meet this
initial requirement prior to submitting for building permits.
As proposed, the three buildings are in compliance with the minimum requirements of the C-M
(Commercial/Industrial) zoning district and the Downtown Centennial Plan 18b The Las Vegas
Arts District standards. According to the submitted site plan date stamped 02/26/15, the three
buildings would be oriented inward, away from the right-of-ways, creating an outdoor pedestrian
plaza at the center of the subject site, which would connect to the adjacent Boulder Plaza. The
design would integrate pedestrian circulation at the center of the site.
The submitted elevations, date stamped 02/26/15, depict three single-story structures utilizing a
variety of materials including brick veneer, stucco, canvas and metal to articulate the north, south,
east and west facades. To further break up the overall building mass, the applicant proposes
variations, patterns, jogs and offsets, which also provide an increase in architectural character. The
buildings vary in overall height from 20 feet to 28 feet. In addition, the applicant has reserved space
on the building elevations to showcase artwork from local artists of the 18B The Las Vegas Arts
District. The floor plans and justification letter show that there will be a mix of retail and restaurant
space. The primary site circulation is provided by outdoor pedestrian corridors that directly connect
to Main Street, 1st Street, and Boulder Plaza to the south.
Typically new development within the Downtown Centennial Plan is subject to required streetscape
standards. This particular site has an existing ten-foot wide sidewalk and five-foot wide amenity
zone along 1st Street, with palm trees placed every thirty feet. The existing conditions adhere to the
minimum streetscape requirements. In addition, the city of Las Vegas Department of Public Works
is currently installing the required streetscape standards along Main Street, which includes a ten-foot
wide sidewalk and five-foot wide amenity zone with one shade tree every 15-20 feet. The
Department of Public Works has begun work north of the subject site and anticipates reaching the
subject site later this year. As a result, the applicant is not required to include the streetscape
improvements.
Staff routed the proposed site plan, landscape plan, floor plan and building elevations to local
outside agencies for review. The Las Vegas Valley Water District responded to staff with the
following comment, The two parcels are currently served by LVVWD but do not have the
required backflow prevention. Parcel lot consolidation will be required prior to civil plan
approval for water service. The current site design does not allow room on-site for the aboveground backflow prevention assemblies and they cannot be placed in the sidewalk. Civil plans
will need to be submitted to LVVWD for domestic meter sizing and fire flow requirements.
GK
SDR-58133 [PRJ-57565]
As proposed, the commercial buildings are in compliance with the minimum requirements as
outlined by the Downtown Centennial Plan. Staff recommends approval of this request as it will
provide a positive contribution to the future development of 18b The Las Vegas Arts District and
the surrounding downtown area.
FINDINGS (SDR-58133)
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 commercial development will be compatible with existing and proposed
development in the immediate area.
2.
The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan, this Title, the Design
Standards Manual, the Landscape, Wall and Buffer Standards, and other dulyadopted city plans, policies and standards;
The proposed commercial development adheres to the minimum standards as outlined by
Title 19.08 and the Downtown Centennial Plan.
3.
Site access and circulation do not negatively impact adjacent roadways or

neighborhood traffic;
Principle access for the development is provided by Main Street, an 80-foot wide Major
Collector and 1st Street, an 80-foot wide Collector as classified by the Master Plan of
Streets and Highways. Site circulation is predominately pedestrian-oriented with excellent
access to public transportation by means of six bus stops within less than a quarter of a
mile from the site, which will assist in reducing the number of vehicle trips generated by
the development.
4.
Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the City;
The proposed structure and landscape materials are within the context of the surrounding
neighborhood. Additionally, the landscape materials meet the types required for this area
under the Downtown Centennial Plan.
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;
GK
SDR-58133 [PRJ-57565]
The proposed commercial development will provide retail and restaurant opportunities as
that are all pedestrian accessible. The design emphasizes pedestrian access by arranging
the buildings around a central axis that ties into the Boulder Plaza. The proposed massing
of the structures are in balance and the materials are harmonious and in context with the
industrial aesthetic of the surrounding area.
6.
Appropriate measures are taken to secure and protect the public health, safety and
general welfare.
The proposed commercial development will be subject to City inspections during
construction of the building as well as routine business license inspections for the tenant
commercial spaces.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The subject site consists of three parcels totaling 3.47 acres of land located on the northwest
corner of Hickam Avenue and Helen Avenue. This application is for a Tentative Map for a sixlot single-family residential subdivision. Two Variances and three Waivers are required for this
project. The requested Variances and Waivers are to not provide streetlights or sidewalks
throughout the development, to allow no gate on a private residential street that does not meet
Complete Streets standards and to allow a narrower street intersection offset than code requires.
The density of the proposed development is consistent with the existing General Land Use
designation of DR (Desert Rural Density Residential) and the lot sizes are consistent with
development within a R-E (Residence Estates) zoning district; however, the requested Waivers
and Variances are inappropriate for this rural setting, prompting staff to recommend denial of all
requests. If denied, the current site cannot be developed as proposed.
ISSUES
A Variance is required to deviate from Title 19.04 Complete Street Standards to allow no
sidewalk on Hickam Avenue and Helen Avenue. Staff does not support this request.
gate on a private residential street that does not meet the minimum Complete Streets
standards. Staff does not support this request.
A Waiver is required to deviate from Title 19.04 Complete Street Standards to allow no
sidewalks on a private residential street where such is required. Staff does not support
this request.
A Waiver is required to deviate from Title 19.02.240 to allow no street lights along all
existing and proposed streets. Staff does not support this request.
A Waiver is required to deviate from Title 19.02.140 to allow an external street
intersection to be offset 198 feet where 220 feet is the minimum required. Staff does not
support this request.
A Tentative Map is required subdivide the existing parcels into six single-family
residential lots. Staff does not support this request due to the number of Waivers and
Variances requested.
Single-family housing developments within a R-E (Residence Estates) zoning district do
not have a Connectivity Ratio requirement; however, this projects Connectivity Ration is
1.0, which is below the minimum 1.3 ratio required for other residential zoning districts
throughout the city.

ANALYSIS
This six-lot single-family residential development is consistent with densities allowed in the DR
(Desert Rural Density Residential) Land Use designation and is consistent with some of the
design requirements for Title 19.02 and Title 19.06.060 [R-E (Residence Estates) zoning
district]. The applicant is requesting three Waivers and two Variances from sections of the
development code in conjunction with this Tentative Map application.
Although the Connectivity Ratio is not required for projects within a R-E (Residence Estates)
zoning district this projects Connectivity Ratio is 1.0, which is below the minimum 1.3 ratio
required for other residential zoning districts throughout the city.
Lots range in size from 20,002 square feet to 26,062 square feet, with a minimum lot width of
120 feet. The land use density for this project is 1.72 dwelling units per acre, which is 31 percent
below the allowed density of 2.49 dwelling units per acre. No single-family floor plans are
proposed with this development. The residential floor plans will be reviewed for conformance to
the R-E (Residence Estates) zoning district at the time of permits.
Title 19.04 (Completes Streets standards) requires a private streets to be gated that does not
conform to public streets standards if accompanied by an approved Waiver. The applicant has
requested not to provide a residential street gate on the proposed private street and not to provide
Complete Street standards, as such a Variance is required. Staff does not support the requested
Variance as a street gate can be easily provided.
Code requires sidewalks along public and private streets. The applicant has requested not to
provide any sidewalks to match the existing neighborhood. Existing adjacent conditions consist
of half-street improvements with no sidewalks. This site is located on the northwest corner of
Hickam Avenue and Helen Avenue and is an ideal location to start providing a basic pedestrian
path (a sidewalk). The provided plans illustrate a five-foot area for a future sidewalk along the
private street within the proposed subdivision and a landscape buffer, a five-foot area for a future
sidewalk and a three-foot amenity zone along the public streets (Hickam and Helen Avenue).
Failure to provide sidewalks along public and private streets requires a Variance. Staff does not
support this request, as sidewalks could be provided that conforms to code.
Perimeter landscaping is not required along Hickam Avenue and Helen Avenue; however, trees
are required in the landscape amenity zone and said trees are depicted every 25 feet on center in
conformance with code. The landscape plan is deficient three 24-inch box trees (one tree along
Hickam Avenue and two trees along Helen Avenue); however, a Condition of approval was
added to ensure code compliance. The landscape palette along Hickam and Leon Avenues is
Chilean Mesquite trees accented by Purple Sage and California Justicia shrubs.
Title 19.02 requires street lights to provide appropriate levels of lighting to create adequate
visibility and safety at night. Failure to provide street lights at time of construction requires a
MR

Waiver. There are street lights along Doc Holiday Avenue immediately northeast of this site.
Not providing proper street lighting or reducing night visibility goes against the ideas detailed in
the Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) section of the Community
Design Element of the Las Vegas 2020 Master Plan. Staff does not support the requested
Waiver.
A Waiver is required to allow a street intersection offset 198 feet where 220 feet is required.
Public Works has no objection to it; however, staff does not support this request. The shortened
street intersection offset reduces vehicle response time for traffic exiting south from the proposed
subdivision along Helen Avenue. The reduced night time visibility and short street offset could
create an unsafe environment for pedestrians.
Public Works noted the 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. City Council has discretion to allow for the deferral of
these improvements, and approval of Variance (VAR-57010) will direct Public Works to allow
deferral in this area.
The submitted north/south cross section show a maximum natural grade less than 2% across this
site. Per the Tables in Subdivision Code 19.06.060 a development with natural slope less than or
equal to 2% is allowed a maximum four-foot retaining wall. A two-foot maximum retaining wall
is shown along the north and south property lines.
The submitted east/west cross section show a maximum natural grade of greater than 2% across
this site. Per the Tables in Subdivision Code 19.06.060 a development with natural slope greater
than 2% is allowed a maximum six-foot retaining wall. A three-foot maximum retaining wall is
shown along the east property line and no retaining wall is shown along the west property line.
The Clark County School District has commented that the proposed development would add
approximately four students in Grades K-12 to area schools. Currently, Parson Elementary,
Swainston Middle School and Cheyenne High School are operating under or near capacity.
In summation, the density and lot layouts of the proposed development are consistent with the
surrounding community; however, the number of required Waivers and Variances highlight the
unsuitability of this project. For these reasons, staff recommends denial of this project.
FINDINGS (VAR-57017)
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.
MR

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 not providing sidewalks along public and private streets
and not providing a vehicle gate on a private street that does meet Title 19.04 standards.
Alternatively, street lights, sidewalks and a private street gate could be provided in 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 (WVR-57009)
Failure to provide a safe pedestrian path (a sidewalk) goes against basic sustainable community
design and therefore staff recommends denial of this request; however, if approved subject to
conditions.
Not providing street lights along public and private streets is a community safety hazard. The
separation distance between the intersection of proposed street and Hickam Avenue fails to meet
code requirements and could create an environment where pedestrian and vehicular conflicts
occur. Staff recommends denial of this Waiver, as low night visibility and the shortened distance
between street intersections could be public safety hazard; however, if approved subject to
conditions.
FINDINGS (TMP-57007)
The proposed map is not in conformance with Title 19 and the requested Variances and Waivers
reinforce the unsuitability of this project at this location. The absence of street lights, sidewalks
and shortened street intersection offset may pose safety risks to the general public. Staff
therefore recommends denial of the proposed Tentative Map; however, if approved subject to
conditions.

This project is expected to add about 57 trips per day on Hickham Ave., Helen Ave., Leon Ave., Jones Blvd. & Bradley
Rd. Currently, Jones is at about 51 percent of capacity and Bradley is at about 5 percent of capacity. With this project,
these capacities are expected to remain unchanged. Counts are not available for Hickham, Helen or Leon, but they are
believed to be under capacity.
Based on Peak Hour use, this project will add about 6 trips in the peak hour, or about one every ten minutes.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The subject site consists of one parcel totaling 4.69 acres of land located on the northwest corner
of Hickam Avenue and Leon Avenue. This application is for a Tentative Map for an eight-lot
single-family residential subdivision. Two Variances and three Waivers are required for this
project. The requested Variances and Waivers are to not provide streetlights or sidewalks
throughout the development, to allow no gate on a private residential street that does not meet
Complete Streets standards and to allow a narrower street intersection offset than code requires.
The density of the proposed development is consistent with the existing General Land Use
designation of DR (Desert Rural Density Residential) and the lot sizes are consisted with
development within a R-E (Residence Estates) zoning district; however, the requested Waivers
and Variances are inappropriate for this rural setting, prompting staff to recommend denial of all
requests. If denied, the current site cannot be developed as proposed.
ISSUES

A Tentative Map is required to subdivide the existing parcel into eight single-family
residential lots. Staff does not support this request due to the number of Waivers and
Variances requested.
Single-family housing developments within a R-E (Residence Estates) zoning district do
not have a Connectivity Ratio requirement; however, this projects Connectivity Ration is
1.0, which is below the minimum 1.3 ratio required for other residential zoning districts
throughout the city.

ANALYSIS
This eight-lot single-family residential development is consistent with densities allowed in the
DR (Desert Rural Density Residential) land use designation and is consistent with some of the
design requirements for Title 19.02 and Title 19.06.060 [R-E (Residence Estates) zoning
district]. The applicant is requesting three Waivers and two Variances from sections of the
development code in conjunction with this Tentative Map application.
Although the Connectivity Ratio is not required for projects within a R-E (Residence Estates)
zoning district this projects Connectivity Ratio is 1.0, which is below the minimum 1.3 ratio
required for other residential zoning districts throughout the city.
Lots range in size from 20,009 square feet to 27,281 square feet, with a minimum lot width of
110 feet. The land use density for this project is 1.7 dwelling units per acre, which is 31 percent
below the allowed density of 2.49 dwelling units per acre. No single-family floor plans are
proposed with this development. The residential floor plans will be reviewed for conformance to
the R-E (Residence Estates) zoning district at the time of permits.
Title 19.04 (Complete Streets standards) requires a private streets to be gated that does not
conform to public street standards if accompanied by a Waiver. The applicant has requested not
to provide a residential street gate on the proposed private street and not to provide Complete
Street standards, as such a Variance is required. Staff does not support the requested Variance as
a street gate can be easily provided.
Code requires sidewalks along public and private streets. The applicant has requested not to
provide any sidewalks to match the existing neighborhood. There are street lights along the north
end of Leon Avenue. This site is located on the northwest corner of Hickam Avenue and Leon
Avenue and is an ideal location to start providing a basic pedestrian path (a sidewalk). The
provided plans illustrate a five-foot area for a future sidewalk along the private street within the
proposed subdivision and a landscape buffer, a five-foot area for a future sidewalk and a threefoot amenity zone along the public streets (Hickam and Leon Avenue). Failure to provide
sidewalks along public and private streets requires a Variance. Staff does not support this
request, as sidewalks could be provided that conforms to code.
Perimeter landscaping is not required along Hickam Avenue and Leon Avenue; however, trees
are required in the landscape amenity zone and said trees are depicted every 25 feet on center in
conformance with code. The landscape plan is deficient two 24-inch box trees (one along
Hickam Avenue and one along Leon Avenue); however, a Condition of approval was added to
ensure code compliance. The landscape palette along Hickam and Leon Avenues is Chilean
Mesquite trees accented by Purple Sage and California Justicia shrubs.
Title 19.02 requires street lights to provide appropriate levels of lighting to create adequate
visibility and safety at night. Failure to provide street lights at time of construction requires a
Waiver. Not providing proper street lighting or reducing night visibility goes against the ideas
detailed in the Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) section of the
MR

Community Design Element of the Las Vegas 2020 Master Plan. Staff does not support the
requested Waiver.
A Waiver is required to allow a street intersection offset 194 feet where 220 feet is required.
Public Works has no objection to it; however, staff does not support this request. The shortened
street intersection offset reduces vehicle response time for traffic exiting south from the proposed
subdivision along Leon Avenue. The reduced night time visibility and short street offset could
create an unsafe environment for pedestrians.
Public Works noted that all incomplete half street improvements, including sidewalks are
required adjacent to any new development. However, this development is in an area where
sidewalks are not customary. City Council has discretion to allow for the deferral of these
improvements, and approval of Variance (VAR-57017) will direct Public Works to allow
deferral in this area.
The submitted north/south cross section shows a maximum natural grade less than 2% across this
equal to 2% is allowed a maximum four-foot retaining wall. A two-foot maximum retaining wall
is shown along the north property lines and no retaining wall is shown along the south property
line.
The submitted east/west cross section show a maximum natural grade less than 2% across this
equal to 2% is allowed a maximum four-foot retaining wall. A three-foot maximum retaining
wall is shown along the west property line and no retaining wall is shown along the east property
line.
The Clark County School District has commented that the proposed development would add
approximately four students in Grades K-12 to area schools. Currently, Parson Elementary,
Swainston Middle School and Cheyenne High School are operating under or near capacity.
In summation, the density and lot layouts of the proposed development are consistent with the
surrounding community; however, the number of required Waivers and Variances highlight the
unsuitability of this project. For these reasons, staff recommends denial of this project.
FINDINGS (VAR-57017)
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.
MR

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 not providing sidewalks along public and private streets
and not providing a vehicle gate on a private street that does meet Title 19.04 standards.
Alternatively, street lights, sidewalks and a private street gate could be provided in 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.
Failure to provide a safe pedestrian path (a sidewalk) goes against basic sustainable community
design and therefore staff recommends denial of this request; however, if approved subject to
conditions.
Not providing street lights along public and private streets is a community safety hazard. The
separation distance between the intersection of proposed street and Hickam Avenue fails to meet
code requirements and could create an environment where pedestrian and vehicular conflicts
occur. Staff recommends denial of this Waiver, as low night visibility and the shortened distance
between street intersections could be a public safety hazard; however, if approved subject to
conditions.
FINDINGS (TMP-57025)
The proposed map is not in conformance with Title 19 and the requested Variances and Waivers
reinforce the unsuitability of this project at this location. The absence of street lights, sidewalks
and shortened street intersection offset may pose safety risks to the general public. Staff
therefore recommends denial of the proposed Tentative Map; however, if approved subject to
conditions.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This application is a request for a Special Use Permit for a Retail Establishment with Accessory
Package Liquor Off-Sale use within a proposed 262 square-foot General Retail Store, Other
Than Listed at 1717 South Las Vegas Boulevard. The applicant is requesting that 22 square feet
of floor space be dedicated to the sale of alcoholic beverages, which represents ten percent of the
220 square feet of retail floor area. The proposed use meets all the minimum Special Use Permit
Requirements and is not within 400 feet of any protected uses; however, there are four retail
establishments within a three block radius that have a license to sell alcohol. In short, the area is
oversaturated with alcohol sales. Staff recommends denial of this request; however, if approved
it is subject to conditions.
ISSUES
A Special Use Permit is required for a Retail Establishment with Accessory Package Liquor
Off-Sale use in the C-2 (General Commercial) zoning district.

09/22/94
(V-0115-94) to allow a 276 square-foot freestanding sign where 200 square
feet is the allow. The Board of Zoning Adjustment denied the request.

to offer a complimentary toast for wedding events and the desire allow
11/19/14
attendees or virtual attendees to purchase a wine or sparkling wine
(champagne) to take as a memento for off-site consumption. It was
determined that no alcohol entitlement is required for the complimentary
toast; however, the site did not meet the licensing requirements for the
minimum requirement for a Beer/Wine/Cooler Off-Sale Establishment. After
additional research the site meets the minimum requirements for a package
liquor license.
Follow up pre-application meeting was held with the applicant and the
applicants designated representative to discuss the submittal requirements for

ANALYSIS
The applicant is requesting a Special Use Permit for a Retail Establishment with Accessory
Package Liquor use within a proposed 262 square-foot gift shop at 1717 South Las Vegas
Boulevard. The Retail Establishment with Accessory Package Liquor Off-Sale use is defined as
a retail establishment:
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
MR
SUP-57687 [PRJ-56944]
2. In which the sale of alcoholic beverages is ancillary to the retail 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 on-premises wine, cordial and liqueur tasting if
the licensee also holds a wine, cordial and liqueur tasting license for that location.
The proposed use meets the definition above per the provided floor plan. Also, according to the
justification letter the applicant intends to sell alcoholic beverages and other novelties within the
gift shop. Furthermore, the applicant has indicated 22 square feet or 10 percent, of the existing
220 square feet of retail floor area will be utilized for the display and sale of alcohol.
1. Except as otherwise provided, no retail establishment with accessory package liquor off-sale
(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.
The proposed use meets this requirement, as there are no protected uses within 400 feet of the
subject property.
*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:
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 Requirement 1.
The proposed use meets this requirement; measurement is taken from the existing property line
of the South Fifth Street Tract Lot 2 of Plat Book 2 Page 72, located near the southeast corner of
Las Vegas Boulevard and Oakey Boulevard.
* 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
MR
SUP-57687 [PRJ-56944]
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.
This requirement does not apply to the proposed use, as the parcel on which it is proposed 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.
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 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
Neither condition applies to the proposed use.
* 6. All businesses which sell alcoholic beverages shall conform to the provisions of LVMC
Chapter 6.50.
The proposed use will meet this requirement, as a condition of approval requires the
conformance to Chapter 6.50 of the City of Las Vegas Municipal Code.
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 District;
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;
MR
SUP-57687 [PRJ-56944]
c. In connection with a proposed establishment having between 20,000 square feet and
50,000 square feet of retail floor space; 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 to the proposed use, as the use meets Requirement 1 outlined
above.
The proposed Retail Establishment with Accessory Package Liquor Off-Sale use would be
located within a proposed gift shop within an existing Wedding Chapel complex. The existing
site has direct access to Las Vegas Boulevard.
The subject site is within the Downtown Centennial Plan Northern Strip Gateway Overlay
District and therefore Title 19 parking standards do not automatically apply; however, the site
provides above the minimum required parking for the existing use (a Wedding Chapel) and the
proposed uses (a General Retail Store, Other Than Listed and a Retail Establishment with
Accessory Package Liquor Off-Sale Use).
The subject site is located within 500 feet of a city boundary; therefore, the request is deemed a
Project of Regional Significance. The required documents have been completed and distributed
to the appropriate agencies. The Las Vegas Valley Water District returned the comment below.
This parcel is currently served by LVVWD but does not have the required backflow prevention
per NAC 445A.67195. Civil plans will need to be submitted to LVVWD for meter sizing,
available fire flow, and installation of required backflow prevention.
There are no protected uses within 400 feet of the subject property and the proposed use adheres
to all Minimum Special Use Requirements as outlined in Title 19.12. Per the applicants
justification letter dated 02/19/15 the desire is to sale beer, wine and champagne (sparkling
wine).
Title 19.16.110 details the purpose of a special use permit is to ensure that a proposed use is
conducted in a manner that harmonious and compatible with uses located on the same or
surrounding properties. The process recognizes that, within, a given zoning district, certain uses
may be appropriate and compatible in some locations but not in others. The Special Use Permit
process allows a site-specific inquiry into the compatibility of a proposed use at a particular
location, taking into account: the characteristics of the site and the surroundings; the relevant
zoning and planning principles. Past land use entitlements within the surrounding area have
deemed this area to be saturated with alcohol sales. As such, the use is cannot be conducted in a
compatible and harmonious manner with the surrounding land uses. Staff recommends denial of
this application; however, if approved it would be subject to conditions.
MR
SUP-57687 [PRJ-56944]
1.
The proposed Retail Establishment with Accessory Package Liquor Off-Sale use is located
within an existing Wedding Chapel complex set back off of Las Vegas Boulevard. The
applicant has requested to sell wine and sparkling wine only; however, this area has been
deemed saturated with establishments that sell alcohol. As such, the proposed use cannot
be operated in a manner that is harmonious and compatible with existing surrounding land
uses, and with future surrounding land uses as projected by the General Plan.
2.
The proposed intensity of a Retail Establishment with Accessory Package Liquor Off-Sale
use is not suitable for this location and the surrounding uses.
3.
Primary access to the site will be from a Las Vegas Boulevard, a 120-foot wide Parkway
Arterial with adequate access for the proposed Retail Establishment with Accessory
Package Liquor Off-Sale use.
4.
General Plan.
Approval of a Special Use Permit for the Retail Establishment with Accessory Package
Liquor Off-Sale use will compromise the public health, safety, or general welfare, as the
area has been deemed to be saturated with alcohol sales.
5.
The Retail Establishment with Accessory Package Liquor Off-Sale use meets the

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting to amend the Centennial Hills Sector Plan to change the land use
designation from R (Rural Density Residential) and RNP (Rural Neighborhood Preservation) to
L (Low Density Residential) and change the zoning from R-E (Residence Estates) to R-1 (Single
Family Residential) for a future single-family, detached residential subdivision on 20.00 acres of
undeveloped land on the northeast corner of Elkhorn Road and Hualapai Way. Staff supports
these requests. If denied, the land use would remain unchanged.
City Council approved Annexation (ANX-49618) of 35.00 acres at the
northeast corner of Elkhorn Road and Hualapai Way (APNs 125-18-301-002,
003, 004 and 014; and 125-18-401-001, 009 and 010). The Planning
Commission and staff recommended approval. The effective date was
09/13/13.
09/04/13
City Council approved Annexation (ANX-50089) of 5.00 acres on the south
side of Severence Lane approximately 345 feet east of Hualapai Way (APN
125-18-401-002).
The Planning Commission and staff recommended
approval. The effective date was 09/13/13.

07/11/06,
09/19/07 and
Deeds were recorded for a change in ownership on the parcels.
05/28/13

No related permits are on file for this project.
Staff met with the applicant and reviewed the applications for a General Plan
Amendment and a Zoning application on recently annexed property. The goal
12/22/14
is for a single-family residential subdivision on the property, but no tentative
map was proposed at this time.

Attendance:
02/09/2015
End: 6:20 p.m.
18 Members of the Public; 2 Applicants; 2 CLV staff
Maximum density allowed will be 5.49 units per acre, but applicant
stated their planned project would be less than 4 units per acre.
Major concerns rose related to site plan design (drainage, view sheds,
buffering, etc) No site plans or tentative maps were presented.
Residents to the east of the project wanted lot sizes along the east to be
no smaller than 18,000 SF
Some were concerned that although DR Horton doesnt plan on 5.49
units per acre, if they should sell the property, the next developer may.
Applicant concurred that is possible, but highly unlikely.
Some questions related to traffic and circulation, but on the site and
ingress/egress to the site. Concerns were noted by the applicant.
Field Check
03/05/15
Staff visited the site and found undeveloped desert terrain. No issues were
found.

ANALYSIS
The applicant is requesting to amend the Centennial Hills Sector Plan to change the land use
designation from R (Rural Density Residential) and RNP (Rural Neighborhood Preservation) to
L (Low Density Residential) and change the zoning from R-E (Residence Estates) to R-1 (Single
Family Residential) for a future residential subdivision on 20.00 acres of undeveloped land on
the northeast corner of Elkhorn Road and Haulapai Way. The proposed changes are appropriate
and compatible with adjacent land uses. The L (Low Density Residential) land use and
corresponding R-1 (Single Family Residential) zoning district are the most appropriate buffering
between the larger Clark County residential properties on the east and the more dense residential
properties on the west side of the proposed site. Staff supports these requests.
The Clark County School District expressed opposition to the increased density of the new
development, as the existing public primary and secondary schools in the area are near or over
capacity with no additional schools planned for the area. Darnell Elementary is at 3.88 percent
over capacity, Escobedo Middle School is at 73 percent capacity and Centennial High School is
19.62 percent over capacity.
FINDINGS (GPA-57590)
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 L (Low Density Residential) designation is compatible with the adjacent
land uses as the north, south and west properties all have RNP (Rural Neighborhood
Preservation) designations. The property to the west is PCD (Planned Community
Development), but is also compatible with the proposed change.
YK
GPA-57590 and ZON-57591 [PRJ-57289]

2.
The zoning designations allowed by the proposed amendment will be compatible with
the existing adjacent land uses or zoning districts,
The zoning designations allowed by the proposed amendment are compatible with the
existing adjacent land uses and zoning districts, as they will allow lots that are similar in
size and area to adjacent lots.
3.
There are adequate transportation, recreation, utility, and other facilities to

accommodate the uses and densities permitted by the proposed General Plan
Amendment; and
There are existing transportation, recreation, utility and other facilities that are adequate to
accommodate the uses and densities permitted by the proposed General Plan Amendment.
4.
The proposed amendment conforms to other applicable adopted plans and policies
that include approved neighborhood plans.
There are no other plans or policies that would be applicable to the site.
FINDINGS (ZON-57591)
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.

The proposed Rezoning to R-1 (Single Family Residential) designation conforms to the
density range allowed by the proposed L (Low Density Residential) General Plan
designation and supports Objective 2.6.
2.
The uses which would be allowed on the subject property by approving the rezoning
will be compatible with the surrounding land uses and zoning districts.
The detached single-family residential use planned on the subject properties is at an
appropriate density with the surrounding properties and is therefore, compatible with the
residential uses and zoning designations of these surrounding properties.
3.
Growth and development factors in the community indicate the need for or
appropriateness of the rezoning.
YK
GPA-57590 and ZON-57591 [PRJ-57289]

The density and size of the lots proposed for the property to be rezoned will resemble the
development pattern of surrounding properties. The proposed Rezoning is therefore
appropriate.
4.
size to meet the requirements of the proposed zoning district.
Access to the property is provided by North Hualapai Way, identified as a 100-foot
Primary Arterial on the Master Plan of Streets and Highways. This road is adequate to
meet the traffic demands of the proposed single-family residential development.

Primary site access is from Smoke Ranch Road, a 100-foot Primary Arterial, which provides
adequate capacity to serve the proposed use.
The proposed site design complies with all applicable Title 19.08.070 site design requirements
pertaining to building setbacks, which requires a 20-foot distance separation from the front, fivefoot side yard setback and a 20-foot distance separation from the rear property line. The submitted
elevations show a 14.75-foot building height adjacent to the existing R-CL (Single Family
Compact-Lot) zone single-family residences located to the west, which complies with residential
adjacency standards require outlined in Title 19.06.040. The proposed 36,333 square-foot building
will cover approximately 32% of the 2.63 acre site. The proposed building is 20 feet in height
measured to the mid-point of the eaves of the roof line above the primary entrance to the building.
The submitted building elevations indicate the building faades will have a Dry Earth and Deep
Walnut stucco finish, with slate brownstone roof tiles and decorative stone stacked veneer accents.
The site will provide 35 total parking spaces with two van-accessible handicapped parking
spaces, which exceeds the 31 spaces required by Title 19.12.010 for a Convalescent Care
Facility/Nursing Home with 80 beds and 14 employees on the largest shift. The parking area also
provides space for two loading zones 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 perimeter of the property where the applicant has requested a
Waiver to allow a zero-foot landscape buffer where eight feet is the minimum required. The
primary tree species being utilized are the 24 box African Sumac, 24 box Shoestring Acacia,
24 box Ruby Lace Honey Locust and 24 box Ornamental Fruitless Plum Tree. There is also an
existing 10-foot wide sidewalk (multi-use) trail which runs along the eastern property line, which
will have trees spaced at one per 20 feet in the adjacent landscaping buffer.
Since the subject site subject parcel is an irregularly shaped Flag Lot, which creates site
constrictions that are not self-imposed. Staff has determined the proposed project is compatible
with surrounding development in the area and the requested landscaping Waiver will not have a
negative impact to the existing church to the north and residential land uses to the west.
Therefore, staff is recommends approval of this project with conditions.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The 0.82-acre subject site is located at the northeast corner of Rainbow Boulevard and Ann Road
and is currently developed as a single-family dwelling. The applicant is requesting to construct a
commercial building with two suites totaling 3,680 square feet. As proposed, the new
commercial building does not require any Variances, Waivers or Exceptions and adheres to all
minimum requirements as outlined by Title 19. Included with this proposal is a General Plan
Amendment (GPA-58144) from the R (Rural Density Residential) Land Use designation to the
SC (Service Commercial) Land Use designation and a Rezoning (ZON-58146) to the C-1
(Limited Commercial) zoning district.
Due to the recent build-out of both Ann Road and Rainbow Boulevards, staff believes
commercial development on this corner is appropriate and recommends approval. If denied, the
subject site would remain a single-family dwelling, the General Plan Land Use designation
would remain R (Rural Density Residential) and the zoning designation would remain R-E
(Residence Estates).
ISSUES
A General Plan Amendment is requested to change the land use designation on the
subject site from R (Rural Density Residential) to SC (Service Commercial). Staff
supports this request.
A Rezoning is requested to change the zoning designation on the subject site from R-E
(Residence Estates) to C-1 (Limited Commercial). Staff supports this request.
The City Council approved an Annexation (ANX-57277) for 0.82 acres at
02/18/15
5620 North Rainbow Boulevard. The effective date was 02/27/15.
10/18/12
No related permits on file.

Staff met with the applicant and reviewed their proposed project for a General
Plan Amendment, Rezoning and Site Development Plan Review to construct
02/19/15
a restaurant with drive-through and retail space on the northeast corner of Ann
and Rainbow. No issues of note were identified.
The applicant for GPA-58144, ZON-58146 and SDR-58147 held a required
neighborhood meeting last night at the Centennial Hills YMCA. The meeting
started at 6 p.m. and concluded at 6:50 p.m. Attending:
03/16/15
2 Applicants
2- Representative of the Clark County Commission Office
2- CLV Staff
18 Members of the Public
95% of the attendees were from the adjacent county island and voiced their
opposition to the project. Their primary objective was to oppose annexation,
which wasnt the purpose of the meeting, since the property had already been
recently annexed at the request of the property owners.
There were three attendees in favor of the project, including the HOA
president for the subdivision near the SEC of Ann and Rainbow.
Field Check

ANALYSIS
The proposed C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district will provide congruent development
standards with the existing commercial development on the northeast corner of Ann Road and
Rainbow Boulevard that will function well within the intent of the SC (Service Commercial)
land use designation. The proposed development adheres to the minimum requirements as
outlined by Title 19 in regards to lot coverage, setbacks, parking, landscape buffers, perimeter
trees, parking lot trees, building placement, residential adjacency and design. The proposed land
use and zoning are appropriate for this location and will be complimentary to the commercial
development located on the northwest corner of Ann Road and Rainbow Boulevard.
This commercial project consists of one building, containing two suites. The suite on the south
side is designed for a restaurant with a drive-through use and the suite on the north side of the
building is designed for a standard general retail business. The drive-through is designed well
and includes stacking for six vehicles with the order menu facing Rainbow Boulevard, away
from the adjacent residential properties.
The building has a modern design aesthetic with three feature elements of cultured stone around
and over the entry points to the building. These features continue up and past the roofline
culminating into parapets that screen the mechanical equipment located on the roof. Pursuant to
Title 19.08.040(E)4c Mechanical and Electrical Equipment, such parapets are appropriate
screening.
There are two ingress/egress driveways, one each adjacent to the primary arterial roads on the
south and west side of the site. This allows for congestion-free traffic movement throughout the
site. The project exceeds the minimum parking requirement by two spaces.
This project is expected to add about 1,090 trips per day on Ann Road and Rainbow Boulevard.
Currently, Ann Road is at 50 percent of capacity and Rainbow Boulevard is at 34 percent of
capacity. With completion of this project, Ann Road is expected to be at 52 percent of capacity
and Rainbow Boulevard will be 39 percent of capacity. Based on peak hour use, this project will
add about 95 trips, or about three every two minutes.
The project was submitted to outside agencies for comment. The Las Vegas Valley Water
District responded as follows: This parcel is not currently served by LVVWD. Civil and
plumbing plans will need to be submitted to LVVWD for domestic meter sizing and fire flow
availability. No other comments were received.
The project was designed to meet all Title 19 code standards for a commercial development in a
C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district. No Variances, Waivers or Exceptions are required
for this development. The residential properties adjacent to the north and east are well screened
with both a solid wall and extensive landscaping. Residential Adjacency Standards are being
YK

met and the trash enclosure exceeds the minimum distance separation from a residentially zoned
property by nineteen feet. For these reasons, staff recommends approval of all three
applications.
1.
The intensity allowed under the propose SC (Service Commercial) land use designation is
compatible with the commercial development located across the street from the proposal
and is designed to be compatible with the adjacent residential properties.
2.
The zoning designations allowed by the proposed amendment are compatible with the
existing land use and zoning designations on the northwest corner of Rainbow
Boulevard and Ann Road.
3.

The site is accessed by Rainbow Boulevard and Ann Road both are 100-foot Primary
Arterial, as designated by the Master Plan of Streets and Highways and are adequate for
the proposed development.
4.

and proposed SC (Service Commercial) General Plan designation on this site.
2.
The uses allowed by the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district are compatible with
the surrounding land uses and zoning district.
3.
The subject site is underdeveloped and located on the corner of two major arterial
roadways and is appropriate for commercial development.
4.
1.

The proposed Restaurant and Drive-through and General Retail facilities are compatible
with the adjacent uses and is design in manner that is sensitive to the adjacent residential
land uses to the north and east, while remaining compatible with the neighboring
commercial development to the west.

aesthetics while reinforcing the branding of a specific, fast-food restaurant. The site layout,
to include the drive-through lane and trash enclosure, are designed and located
appropriately to maintain the orderly environment of the existing commercial development
along Ann Road and in sensitivity to adjacent residential uses on the north and east.
6.
general welfare.
The proposed development is subject to ongoing City building permit review and
inspections for licensing; therefore, public health, safety, and welfare will not be
compromised.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The subject site is a 10.42-acre undeveloped lot located at the south side of Deer Springs Way,
approximately 285 feet east of Hualapai Way. In March of 2015, the City Council approved a
General Plan Amendment (GPA-57033) to remove the subject site from the approved Providence
Square Master Plan. The General Plan Amendment changed the land use designation from PCD
(Planned Community Development) to ML (Medium Low Density Residential) and allows the
site to accommodate up to 8.49 dwelling units per acre. The applicant is requesting a Rezoning
from PD (Planned Development) to R-CL (Single Family Compact-Lot) to conform to the
previously approved ML (Medium Low Density Residential) land use designation and continue
to prepare the site for future single-family residential development. The proposed R-CL (Single
Family Compact-Lot) zoning designation would be compatible with the existing R-CL
designated parcels to the east and would allow for the expansion of the single-family residential
development on that site.
ISSUES
Any future development of the subject site will require approval of a Tentative Map or
Site Development Plan Review, depending on the type of development.
The City Council approved a Petition to Annex (ANX-12215) 207.83 acres
generally located north of Centennial Parkway between Shaumber Road and
02/07/07
Fort Apache Road. The Planning Commission and staff recommended
approval. The annexation became effective 02/16/07.
The City Council approved a General Plan Amendment (GPA-20465) from R
(Rural Density Residential) to PCD (Planned Community Development) on
06/06/07
23.30 acres south of Deer Springs Way, east of Hualapai Way. The Planning
Commission and staff recommended denial.
The City Council approved a Rezoning (ZON-25758) from U (Undeveloped)
[PCD (Planned Community Development) General Plan designation] to PD
(Planned Development) on 23.62 acres south of Deer Springs Way, east of
04/16/08
Hualapai Way, which included the Providence Square Master Development
Plan and Design Standards. The Planning Commission recommended
approval; staff recommended denial.

ANALYSIS
The subject site was a part of the Providence Square Master Planned Development, which has not
yet been developed. As originally approved, the Providence Square Master Planned Development
consisted of 23.60 gross acres for commercial development on the south side of Deer Springs Way
that extended from Hualapai Way eastward to Conquistador Street. The site-related entitlements for
a 205,000 square-foot commercial development on this site and adjacent parcels have expired
without being exercised; however, the Master Plan is still in effect, as it is tied to the PD (Planned
Development) Zone established in 2008. All land within the Master Plan area is designated as
Neighborhood Commercial.
In 2013, with permission of the adjacent landowners, an eight-acre portion of the Master Plan,
adjacent to the east of the subject site was removed to establish medium-low density residential
uses. Those residential uses are now under construction. In March of 2015, the City Council
approved a General Plan Amendment (GPA-57033) to remove the 10.42-acre subject site from the
Providence Square Master Planned Development in order to establish medium-low density
residential uses and match the uses adjacent to the east. The approval changed the land use
designation on the subject site to ML (Medium Low Density Residential). Staff noted that any
future development of the site would require approval of a Rezoning action, as well as a Tentative
Map or Site Development Plan Review, depending on the type of development.
The applicant is proposing a Rezoning (ZON-58154) from PD (Planned Development) to R-CL
(Single Family Compact-Lot) to conform to the previously approved ML (Medium Low Density
Residential) land use designation and continue to prepare the site for future single-family residential
development of up to 8.49 units per acre. The proposed R-CL (Single Family Compact-Lot) zoning
district would be compatible with the existing R-CL-designated parcels to the east and would allow
for the expansion of the single-family residential development on that site. A future Tentative Map
would be required to establish single-family residential development on the subject site, which the
applicant will pursue at a later date.
GK
ZON-58154 [PRJ-58111]
1.

The proposed Rezoning to the R-CL (Single Family Compact-Lot) zoning district is within
the allowable density range of the existing ML (Medium Low Density Residential)
General Plan designation.
2.
The proposed R-CL (Single Family Compact-Lot) would allow for the establishment of
single family units. Rezoning of the site to R-CL would be compatible with the existing RCL district to the east and allow for further development of that residential site.
3.
This undeveloped property is appropriate for residential development, as it is an infill
parcel directly adjacent to the east by existing single-family homes.
4.
The subject site has direct access to Deer Springs Way, a 100-foot Primary Arterial as
designated by the Master Plan of Streets and Highways. The street provides adequate
capacity to accommodate future residential development.
