** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing a 228-unit multi-family apartment development for low-income
residents on a 12.59 acre site at 501 North Lamb Boulevard. The use is appropriate for the area
and could be designed to meet all City of Las Vegas development requirements. However, the
applicant is choosing not to develop the project to code. This is reflected in the numerous
Variances, Waivers and Exceptions that the applicant is requesting. All of these are self-imposed
hardships and are not necessary for this project to be successfully completed to code. Staff
recommends denial of these applications and of the project as a whole, since the applicant has
the code permitted flexibility to design the project at the proposed density to meet all code
requirements. If denied, no permits would be issued for the project until an approved Site
Development Plan Review was approved.
ISSUES
A Variance is required to allow 404 parking spaces, where 473 spaces are required for a
proposed multi-family residential development. Staff does not support this request.
A Variance is required to allow a seven-foot tall front yard fence, where five feet is the
maximum allowed for a proposed multi-family residential development. Staff does not
support this request.
A Variance is required to allow no wheel stops in the parking lot where such are required
when adjacent to a sidewalk less than seven feet in width. Staff does not support this
request.
A Waiver is required to allow a five-foot wide landscape buffer where six feet is required
along the west, north and south perimeters. Staff does not support this request.
An Exception is required to provide 59 perimeter landscape buffer trees, where 153 are
required. Staff does not support the request.
An Exception is required to provide 19 parking lot landscape trees, where 38 are required.
Staff does not support the request.

ANALYSIS
The M (Medium Density Residential) land use designation of the Las Vegas Master Plan allows
for a variety of multi-family units such as plexes, townhouses, and low-density apartments up to
25.49 units per acre. At 18-units per acre, this project falls well within this requirement and the
corresponding R-3 (Medium Density Residential) zoning and is an appropriate density for the
site.
However, this project does not support the City of Las Vegas 2020 Master Plan Neighborhood
Revitalization Goal 2: Mature neighborhoods will be sustained and improved through
appropriate and selective high quality redevelopment and preservation. Specifically, Objective
2.1: To focus residential reinvestment on transitional sites within the central city area at densities
that support mass transit usage; Policy 2.1.2: That development on vacant or underutilized lots
within existing residential neighborhoods be sensitive in use and design to surrounding
development. As well as, Objective 2.2: To ensure that low density residential land uses within
mature neighborhoods can exist in close proximity to higher density residential, mixed-use, or
non-residential land uses by mitigating adverse impacts where feasible; via Policy 2.2.1: That
any higher density or mixed-use redevelopment, which is adjacent to lower density residential
development incorporate appropriate design, transition, or buffering elements, which will
mitigate adverse visual, audible, aesthetic and traffic impacts.
The reduction of the perimeter landscape buffer width and substantially reduced number of trees
and shrubs do not contribute to appropriate design, transition or buffering elements required for
this type of development in a redevelopment area where single-family residential neighborhoods
are nearby. These reductions are reflected in the requested Waiver and Exceptions applied for.
In addition, the Variance requested to allow a seven-foot high fence along the front yard will
contribute to a fort-like environment, as opposed to an inviting residential community
environment, if approved. Staff does not support this request since it is self-imposed and will not
contribute to an appropriate design transition for the area.
The development code allows for an applicant to not install required parking lot wheel stops as
long as a seven-foot wide side walk is provided when adjacent to parking lots. The applicant is
requesting a Variance to not install the parking lot wheel stops. As proposed, request is selfimposed and can create a negative impact within the pedestrian realm, which may result in
Public Safety issues. Staff does not support this request. The seven-foot wide side walk is for
safety purposes to allow for larger vehicles to overhang the sidewalk and still provide adequate
sidewalk width to allow for safe pedestrian travel along the sidewalk without being impeded by
such vehicle overhangs if wheel stops are not provided.
The third Variance requested is to allow for a 14.5 percent reduction in the number of parking
spaces required for a 228-unit multi-family development. The applicants justification is that the
low income residents being targeted with this development cannot afford to own private vehicles
and therefore, the applicant should not need to provide the code required number of parking
spaces. Staff does not concur with this reasoning and does not support this request.

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 seven-foot tall front yard fence. An
alternative would be to provide a code allowed five-foot tall fence that 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 (VAR-58123)
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.
FINDINGS (SDR-58124)
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.
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;
As proposed, this development doesnt support three of the goals, objectives and policies
(Goal 2, Objective 2:1 and 2.2 and Policy 2.2.1) found in the 2020 Las Vegas Master Plan
Redevelopment Area. The proposed landscaping has been greatly reduced from that of
minimum code requirements, as well as a large reduction in the number of required
parking spaces is being provided.
3.
4.
Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the City;
The building materials are appropriate for this area and multi-family projects throughout
the City. However, the greatly reduced number of landscape trees and shrubs, and the
reduction of the perimeter landscape buffer widths are not appropriate for the area.
5.
6.
Appropriate measures are taken to secure and protect the public health, safety and
general welfare.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a Variance to allow a 9.5-foot rear yard setback where 15 feet is required for
11 lots within an existing single-family residential development. The site is located within a PD
(Planned Development) zoning district in the ML (Medium Low Density Residential) Cliff's
Edge Special Land Use designation. All 11 lots are within the Northern Terrace at Providence
Unit 4 subdivision. The original lot configurations were approved in 2004. The applicant wants
to provide home buyers the option to purchase larger homes than the lots were originally
designed to accommodate. One of the four model homes offered for sale within this development
fails to meet the minimum rear yard setback. Substantial evidence has not been presented to
warrant the requested variances. As such, the hardship is self-imposed and therefore, staff
recommends denial of all 11 Variance requests. If denied, all proposed structures will have to
meet current setback requirements or no building permits will be issued.
ISSUES
A 9.5-foot rear yard setback Variance is required for all 11-lots of an approved singlefamily residential subdivision. Staff does not support this request.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Related Relevant City Actions by P&D, Fire, Bldg., etc.
The City Council approved an Annexation (A-0035-02) request of 1,187 acres
of land generally located between Grand Teton Drive to the north, Hualapai to

02/18/04
Designation] to PD (Planned Development) on 704 acres generally located
adjacent to the south side of Grand Teton Drive between Hualapai Way and
Puli Road. Planning Commission and staff recommended approval.

ANALYSIS
Per the applicants justification letter, four home models will be offered for sale in this subdivision;
however, 11-lots fail to accommodate one of the four models offered for sale. The applicant is
MR
proposing to offer home buyer the option to buy a two-story residential dwelling (approximately
2,311 square feet) 6.5 feet inside the required rear setback of 15 feet. All 11 Variance
applications are for interior regular shaped lots. The proposed model home is bigger than the lots
were designed to accommodate, and as such cannot be constructed in a manner that is
harmonious with the sounding area.
Pursuant to Cliffs Edge Master Development Plan and Design Guidelines Section 9.2, The Master
Developer has the sole responsibility to enforce the Design Guidelines for Low Density
Residential, Medium Low Density Residential and Residential Small Lot developments. The
Master Developer shall review those developments and report to the City of Las Vegas prior to
the City processing any building permit or subdivision map applications. The Master Developer
was notified of the requested setback deviation, and a Master Developer approval letter for the
reduced setback was received.
The Cliffs Edge Master Development Plan and Design Guidelines Section 3.2.5 (for Medium Low
and Low Density Residential) set the rear setback for an interior lot to be 15 feet, except that a
setback of 10 feet is allowed for up to 50 percent of the product width. All of the lots are not unique
in shape or size and they do not have exceptional topographic conditions or other extraordinary
and exceptional situation. This proposed housing model fails to meet the minimum setback
requirement; therefore, staff recommends denial. If denied, all proposed structures will have to
meet current setback requirements or no building permits will be issued.
FINDINGS (VAR-58024)
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.

The lot is not unique in shape and no evidence of a rare or extraordinary circumstance has been
presented, in that the applicant has created a self-imposed hardship by proposing to construct a
residential dwelling that is bigger than the lot was designed to accommodate. Alternatively the
applicant can offer for sale the three smaller approved residential models or propose additional
home models that are conformance to the Cliffs Edge Master Development Plan and Design
Guidelines 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.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The 0.54-acre subject site consists of an existing 3,685 square-foot single-family residence at
520 Campbell Drive. The applicant is requesting a Variance to allow an existing Accessory
Structure (Class II) to encroach into the side yard setback and be located zero feet from the main
dwelling unit where six feet is the minimum distance separation required. In addition, the
applicant is requesting to allow an existing carport and two additional Accessory Structures
(Class II) to encroach into the side yard setback. The request is the result of a code enforcement
citation (#145210) for three illegal storage sheds and carport. The proposed Variance is selfimposed and does not meet the minimum standards for the zoning district; therefore, staff
recommends denial. If the application is denied, the existing structures will have to be removed
or altered to meet the minimum R-E (Residence Estates) Zoning District standards.
ISSUES
A Variance is required to allow an existing carport to be zero feet from the side property
line where fifteen feet is required.
A Variance is required to allow an existing Accessory Structure (Class II), delineated as
A on the submitted site plan, to be zero feet from the north property line where ten feet
is the minimum required and zero feet from the main dwelling unit where six feet is the
minimum required.
A Variance is required to allow an existing Accessory Structure (Class II), delineated as
B on the submitted site plan, to be zero feet from the north side property line where ten
feet is the minimum required.
A Variance is required to allow an existing Accessory Structure (Class II), delineated as
C on the submitted site plan, to be eight feet from the south side property line where
ten feet is the minimum required.

ANALYSIS
The 0.54-acre subject site consists of an existing 3,685 square-foot single-family residence at
520 Campbell Drive. This property is located within the A-O (Airport Overlay) District and is in
compliance with the standards of the district. There are four instances on the site that require a
Variance from the R-E (Residence Estates) zoning district setback standards. The request is the
result of a code enforcement citation (#145210) for three illegal storage sheds and a carport.
The existing carport structure, delineated as A on the submitted site plan, date stamped
01/22/15, is located zero feet from the north property line where 15 feet is the minimum setback
required. In addition, the existing carport contains a wrought iron fence that encloses the north
elevation. According to Title 19.06.060, perimeter wall heights cannot exceed 8 feet in height. A
condition of approval has been added requiring the removal of the wrought iron fence enclosing
the car port. In lieu of removal, the applicant must submit for a Variance to keep the wrought
iron fence.
The subject site contains two Accessory Structures (Class II) in the rear yard that do not adhere
to the minimum requirements as outlined by Title 19.06.060. Specifically, the first Accessory
Structure (Class II), delineated as B on the site plan, is located zero feet from the north
property line where ten feet is required. The second Accessory Structure (Class II), delineated as
C on the site plan is located eight feet from the south property line where ten feet is required.
In addition, there is a third Accessory Structure (Class II) that is not illustrated on the submitted
site plan. Staff conducted a field check on 03/24/15 and noted the illegal accessory structure to
be zero feet from the main dwelling unit where six feet is required and zero feet from the side
yard setback where ten feet is required. The photographs, date stamped 03/24/15, illustrate the
illegal third Accessory Structure (Class II). The submitted site plan delineates this accessory
structure as part of the carport, marked as A, which is not accurate. The site plan should
illustrate exhibit A as both a carport and Accessory Structure (Class II).
According to the submitted justification letter, the applicant purchased the house in 2014 and was
unaware of the illegal structures on the subject site at the time of purchase. The applicant has
inherited the problems of the previous owner and is seeking the Variance approval to alleviate
outstanding code enforcement citations. The intent of the R-E (Residence Estates) zoning district is
to provide for low density residential units located on large lots and conveying a rural environment.

Staff Report Page Five
April 14, 2015 - Planning Commission Meeting
The proposed setback Variances are inconsistent with the rural environment characteristics found
within R-E communities. In addition, the requests are self-imposed hardships; therefore, staff

Justification Letter
In May of year I purchased a home which dates back to the 1970's in the Las Vegas
historical district. I've looked for homes in this neighborhood and I've saved money for
years in order to get a home that I truly loved. I finally found it at 520 Campbell. The
home has been recently renovated and it was offered turnkey, the previous owner made
all the cosmetic renovations and prior to that the home had been remodeled and
extended in the 80's and again in the 90's from what I have learned. All the work
appears to have been done with permits and the proper approvals.
After purchasing the home, the property passed all home inspections and I moved in. A
few weeks later I was notified by city officials about one neighbor had complained
about the existing carport. I was told I would need a special variance for a carport that
has been there since 1998 or earlier because it doesn't have a proper setback. The
carport was never an issue for next door neighbor during the time the two previous
Owners of 520 Campbell Drive owned the house and they had the same neighbor.
Tearing the carport down will cost me a significant amount of money since the
roof/roofline is the same and it will give the house a different look than the look its had
I purchased the home knowing it's older and therefore it was lacking garage space, the
carport is an important part of the home for me and I would very much like to keep it as
is. The carport matches the roofline of the house, it is painted the same color as the
house and it has the same trim and tile as the rest of the home. I believe it is a beautiful
carport which I use often and has passed inspections for quality.
Without this carport my car will be in the sun and on the public street the majority of the
time. I would ask you to please consider the variance requested as it is very important

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting a Variance to allow a 42-foot front yard setback for a room addition,
where 50-foot is the required setback for an R-E (Residence Estates) zoned property at 2045
South Tenaya Way. This property has an existing Variance to allow for a 4-foot side yard
setback for a carport, where 10 feet is required. This is a self-imposed hardship and therefore,
does not meet the requirements for approval. There is no unique shape or conditions on the
parcel that warrants an approval. Approval would contribute to the over building of this parcel.
Staff recommends denial. If denied, any addition would have to adhere to existing code required
setbacks.
ISSUES
A Variance is required to allow a front yard setback of 42 feet, where the minimum
allowed is 50 feet for an R-E (Residence Estates) zoned property. Staff does not support
the request.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Related Relevant City Actions by P&D, Fire, Bldg., etc
The Board of Zoning Adjustment approved a Variance (V-0026-91) to allow
03/28/91
a four-foot side yard setback for a carport, where 10 feet is the minimum
required at 2045 South Tenaya Way. Staff recommended denial.
Most Recent Change of Ownership
02/01/08
A deed was recorded for a change in ownership.
Related Building Permits/Business Licenses
A building permit (#278130) for a room addition was applied for at 2045
01/22/15
South Tenaya Way. The permit is on hold pending result of front yard
setback Variance request.
Pre-Application Meeting
Staff met with the applicant and reviewed the request for a front yard
Variance. The applicant was informed that this property already has a
02/19/15
Variance for a side yard setback and that the request would further
overdevelop this property. In addition, the hardship is self-imposed.

ANALYSIS
The applicant is requesting a Variance to allow a 42-foot front yard setback for a room addition,
where a 50-foot setback is required for an R-E (Residence Estates) zoned property. This
property has a previously approved Variance to allow a four-foot side yard setback, where 10

feet is required for a side yard. This request will add to the over development of this residential
parcel and is a self-imposed hardship. There are no unique characteristics existing on the parcel
that would necessitate the need for a Variance. Additional square-footage can be added to this
home without the need for a Variance.
Since the owner has the option of increasing the square-footage of the home within code
requirements elsewhere on the property, a Variance is not the only option available for
expansion. There is no hardship on the owner and there are available options to increase the
square-footage of this home without the need for a Variance. This, coupled with the fact that an
existing Variance has already been approved for this property, leads staff to find the site will be
over built and therefore, recommends denial.
FINDINGS (VAR-58157)
In accordance with the provisions of Title 19.16.140(B), Planning Commission and City Council,
in considering the merits of a Variance request, shall not grant a Variance in order to:

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing a 37,220 square-foot commercial shopping center that will include
two restaurants with drives-through, a convenience store with fuel pumps, a financial institution
with drive-through and in-line general retail space on the northwest corner of Oso Blanca Road
and Durango Drive. This project is designed to meet code requirements of both Town Center
and Title 19 with only two Waivers requested. The first Waiver is required due to the fuel
pumps being located within 330 feet of a single-family dwelling. This is somewhat misleading
in that the fuel pumps are located on the north side of the project and the single-family dwellings
are located to the southwest of the project. However, due to measurement standards, the Waiver
is required. The second Waiver is requested to reduce the required east perimeter landscape
buffer width by two feet. Staff supports these Waivers.
This project is well designed given the constraints of the unique shape, location and elevations of
the site. Staff recommends approval of all applications associated with this project. If denied,
no building permits would be issued for the site.
ISSUES

ANALYSIS
The GC-TC [(General Commercial Town Center) Special Land Use Designation] was
established to encourage intense commercial development such as the proposed shopping center
with this request. Although restaurants with drives-through are appropriate, Town Center
Development Standards require a Special Use Permit be obtain in order to insure the proper
vehicle stacking is designed to minimize any traffic congestion issues that may result from the
use. The drives-through with this project have been vetted and meet all code requirements and
are located on the site to minimize any negative traffic impacts.
YK
An additional Special Use Permit is required as a result of the Convenience Store (With Fuel
Pumps) use. This application is required as a result of the shopping center being within 330 feet
of a single-family zoning district. The southwest property line of the shopping center is only 245
feet from this protected use and therefore, a Waiver is required. Staff supports this request since
the actual Convenience Store (With Fuel Pumps) use is located on the north side of the shopping
center, effectively 700 feet away from the protected single-family zoning district. This meets the
intent of the code.
Projects located in the GC-TC [(General Commercial Town Center) Special Land Use
Designation] are required to have a minimum of 20% open space. This project exceeds this
requirement with a total of 27.13% of open space. This includes all landscaping, outside patios
and plazas in the design of the shopping center. The perimeter landscape buffer Waiver affects
the east perimeter, adjacent to both the US-95 and Durango Road rights-of-way. The applicant is
requesting to reduce the required width from eight feet to six feet and to not install any trees.
There are four trees located within the east landscape perimeter buffer, but staff has counted
these toward the parking lot required number of trees and as such are not counted toward the
perimeter requirement. Since the east perimeter is adjacent to public rights-of-way and these
rights-of-ways are located at substantially higher elevations than the project, no negative effects
will result in allowing this deviation from code. Staff supports this request.
The commercial shopping center is designed to have the primary ingress/egress located directly
across from where Severence Lane intersects with Oso Blanco Road. A secondary ingress/egress
driveway is located on the north side of the site also off Oso Blanco Road. Internal circulation is
provided by two drive aisles. The first drive aisle almost bi-sects the project from southwest in a
half-moon shape to the northwest emptying out into the convenience store parking area. The
second drive aisle circles the project along the perimeters, both allowing for easy traffic
circulation on the site.
Due to the sharp curve along Oso Blanco Road and the elevation change up to the Durango
Drive intersection, sight visibility issues may become a concern with the required landscape
within the right-of-way. It is believed that the spacing of the trees will allow for adequate
visibility and therefore, no waivers are being quested along the west frontage. In addition, the
applicant is installing the required streetscape improvements all the way to the Durango Drive
intersection along Oso Blanco Road. This is a result of the City of Las Vegas accepting a
remnant portion of Bureau of Land Management parcel that has become right-of-way adjacent to
the applicants project.
This project is expected to add about 6,874 trips per day on Oso Blanca Road. Currently, Oso
Blanca Road is at 31 percent of capacity and is expected to reach 65 percent of capacity with
completion of this project. Based on peak hour use, the project will add 592 trips, or about ten
trips every minute.
YK
This 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.
The project has a modern aesthetic and is similar in design and appearance to other commercial
shopping centers located in nearby areas of Town Center. The landscape materials used are
within the Town Center Development Standards guidelines and will provide a compatible
aesthetic with the existing landscape along Oso Blanco and adjacent developments.
Overall, staff finds that this is an appropriate development for the location. The design layout,
materials and landscape combined to make this project compatible with the surrounding
developments and will provide additional commercial amenities to residents in the Town Center
area. Staff recommends approval of the project and associated applications.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a Special Use Permit for a Horse Corral or Stable (Commercial) use at 5771
West Rosada Way. This request is the result of a code enforcement citation (#141730) for an
illegal commercial horse boarding and training business. Currently, the 4.44-acre site consists of
a 910 square-foot single-family residence, three riding arenas, two hay sheds, horse stalls, and
cattle stalls. The applicant is proposing the commercial horse corral to house up to 40 horses at
maximum capacity. The applicant is also requesting to house 20 cattle. The cattle would be
accessory to the proposed Horse Corral or Stable (Commercial) use, as they would be utilized for
roping purposes. An Animal Keeping and Husbandry (domestic animals) use is a conditional use
in the R-E (Residence Estates) zoning district. The requested use fails to meet the minimum
Conditional Use Requirements as outlined by Title 19.12 for an Animal Keeping and Husbandry
use. According to Title 19.12, no more than one cow or horse is permitted for every 7,500 square
feet of lot area. The 193,406 square-foot lot area limits the total number of cows and horses to
25. The applicant is proposing 20 cows and 40 horses at maximum capacity, which exceeds the
maximum allowed. The existing neighborhood is rural in nature with horses and cows commonly
found throughout the area. Staff finds the subject site is physically suitable for the type and
intensity of land use and recommends approval of both requests for Special Use Permits.
ISSUES
A Horse Corral or Stable (Commercial) use is permissible in the R-E (Residence Estates)
zoning district with approval of a Special Use Permit.
According to Title 19.12, no more than one cow or horse is permitted for every 7,500
square feet of lot area. The 193,406 square-foot lot area limits the total number of cows
and horses to 25. The applicant is proposing 20 cows and 40 horses at maximum
capacity, which exceeds the maximum allowed. A Special Use Permit is required for an
Animal Keeping and Husbandry use that does not adhere to the minimum Conditional
Use Requirements.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Related Relevant City Actions by P&D, Fire, Bldg., etc
The City Council approved a Petition to Annex (A-0063-64) from C-2
(General Commercial) to R-E (Residence Estates) approximately 10,365 acres
05/20/64

Decatur Boulevard, and east of Tenaya Way. Planning Commission and staff
recommended approval.
GK
Pre-Application Meeting

second Special Use Permit for Animal Keeping and Husbandry would be
required for requested cows. The submittal requirements for the Special Use
Permits were discussed.
Neighborhood Meeting

ANALYSIS
Currently, the 4.44-acre site consists of a 910 square-foot single-family residence, three riding
arenas, two hay sheds, a tack room, horse stalls, and cow stalls at 5771 West Rosada Way. The
applicant would like to operate a commercial horse boarding and horse training facility on the
subject site. This request is the result of a code enforcement citation (#141730) for an illegal
commercial horse boarding and training business. A Horse Corral or Stable (Commercial) use is
permissible in the R-E (Residence Estates) zoning district with approval of a Special Use Permit.
Title 19.12 defines a Horse Corral or Stable (Commercial) use as a structure for the keeping of
horses, mules or ponies which are boarded for compensation or for use in providing instructional
or recreational activities for persons other than occupants of the premises. The proposed use
meets the definition noted above, as the applicant has indicated in the submitted justification
letter, date stamped 03/16/15, to lease stalls and training areas to individuals for profit. The
applicant is proposing the commercial horse corral to house up to 40 horses at maximum
capacity. There are no Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements associated with the Horse
Corral or Stable (Commercial) use.
In addition to the horses, the applicant is proposing to house 20 heads of cattle on the subject
site. The Animal Keeping and Husbandry use is defined by Title 19.12 as the raising, keeping
and breeding of domestic or nondomestic animals. The use must be ancillary to the principal use,
but may be conducted for commercial purposes. The use includes the keeping of animals for the
development of animal products such as meat, fur or eggs, but does not include the keeping of
animals as household pets. The proposed use meets the definition noted above, as the applicant
is requesting to house cows as an ancillary use to a proposed Horse Corral or Stable
(Commercial) use. The cows would be utilized for roping purposes.
The minimum Conditional Use Requirements include:
1. With respect to domestic animals:
GK
a. The applicant must submit to the Department, for administrative review and approval,
a site plan with notes indicating the number and types of animals to be kept or reproduced
on the premises.
The applicant has submitted a site plan and a justification letter, which details a request
to house 40 horses and 20 heads of cattle at maximum capacity.
b. No more than 3 sheep or goats may be kept for each 20,000 square feet of land
included in the building site.
The applicant is not proposing to house any sheep or goats on the subject site.
c. All operations and activities shall be in accordance with LVMC Title 7.
A condition of approval has been added requiring compliance with LVMC Title 7.
d. No more than one horse or cow is permitted for each 7,500 square feet of lot area.
The 193,406 square-foot subject site is permitted a total of 25 cows and horses. The
applicant is requesting 40 horses and 20 cows at maximum capacity. The proposal does
not adhere to this requirement; as such a Special Use Permit is required.
e. In the R-D Zoning District, no more than 2 horses may be stabled on building site, and
the site must have a minimum net lot size of 18,000 square feet.
This requirement is not applicable, as the subject site has a zoning designation of R-E
(Residence Estates).
f. No horse or cattle may be kept at any location south of Cheyenne Avenue.
The subject site at 5771 West Rosada Way is north of Cheyenne Avenue.
The proposed Animal Keeping and Husbandry use does not meet condition 1d of the minimum
Conditional Use Requirements. The zoning code accommodates for the keeping of domestic
animals but places a maximum number of horses or cows to one per 7,500 square feet of lot area.
The 193,406 square-foot subject site is permitted a total of 25 cows and horses. As proposed, the
applicant is requesting 40 horses and 20 cows at maximum capacity, which exceeds the
maximum allowed. As a result a Special Use Permit is required.
According to the submitted site plan date stamped 03/04/15, the existing facility is a 4.44-acre
fenced property consisting of a 910 square-foot residence, two large horse stalls capable of
housing up to 40 horses, a cow stall, and two hay sheds. A large main arena for riding is located
at the center of the property with two smaller arenas located on the eastern portion of the site.
Visitor parking is illustrated to the west of the large riding arena.
GK
Surrounding the site to the north and south are existing commercial horse corrals. In addition,
large lot residential properties are adjacent to the west, many of which are developed with barns
and arenas. Finally, an existing Animal Hospital is located approximately 300 feet to the west of
the subject site. The existing neighborhood is rural in nature with horses and cows commonly
found throughout the area. Staff finds the subject site is physically suitable for the type and
intensity of land use and recommends approval of both requests for Special Use Permits.
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 Horse Corral or Stable (Commercial) Use is appropriate and harmonious
with the surrounding area. Most of the adjacent residential parcels to the west have large
horse-related structures and facilities, and the subject site is adjacent to two existing horse
corrals to the north and south.

ANALYSIS
A Tavern-Limited Establishment is described in Title 19.12 as: An establishment that is
licensed with a tavern-limited license in accordance with LVMC Chapter 6.50. 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.
This project is located in the Las Vegas Downtown Centennial Plan Central Casino Core in the
pedestrian mall controlled and operated by the Fremont Street Experience. The applicant has
proposes to construct a second story 3,600 square-foot rooftop deck addition to an existing
building, which represents a 55% increase in floor area triggering the requirement for a Major,
Site Development Plan Review. The new rooftop deck area is intended to operate in conjunction
with a 2,962 square-foot tenant space located on the first floor for a proposed Tavern-Limited
Establishment at 322 Fremont Street. The existing commercial development provides shared
access and parking throughout the subject site, through the utilization of existing parking lots in
the area.
JB
The applicant has indicated that the proposed establishment will host a live DJ at least two nights
per week. The applicant has indicated there will be a modern dcor throughout the venue with
the rooftop deck providing a bar with televisions for watching sporting and other events. In
addition, patrons will also be able to watch the Pedestrian Malls light show. The downstairs area
will provide another bar, along with gourmet baked goods and snacks. The submitted floor plan
indicates the first floor function as a restaurant and bar, with the second floor utilized as a
rooftop bar. There is elevator access to the second floor.
The subject site currently has an existing general retail and restaurant land use. The proposed
second story 3,600 square-foot rooftop deck addition development is oriented directly above the
existing storefronts. The submitted building elevations indicate the proposed building will be 44
feet in height to the top of the parapet, and will be accented with a colorful brick and metal
facade and new area for signage to avoid expressionless walls. All rooftop mechanical equipment
has been shielded from view by the use of parapet walls with a canopy on the ground floor of a
building. The proposed use and design of this proposal will make a positive contribution to the
urban design for the residents in the immediate area and of the community at large. Staff
recommends approval of the requested Special Use Permit to allow a Tavern-Limited
Establishment use and the Site Development Plan Review for the proposed second story addition
to the existing structure.
FINDINGS (SUP-58165)
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.

Plan overlay and will serve as an establishment which provides live entertainment
through the use of a DJ at least two times per week, which is complimentary to the other
restaurants and taverns in the neighborhood and is the type of use that is encouraged in
the Downtown Overlay District. It can be conducted in a manner that is harmonious and
compatible with the surrounding land uses, and with the future surrounding land uses.
2.

accessed by pedestrian mall under the canopy controlled by the Fremont Street
Experience. Fremont Street is an 80-foot Major Collector, as classified by the Master Plan
of Streets and Highways. This street is sufficient in size to accommodate the needs of the
proposed use. The parking standards of Title 19 are not automatically applied for proposals
within the Downtown Centennial Plan; however, the applicant anticipates utilizing nearby
public parking-lots and on-street parking meters to satisfy the developments parking
demand. Staff finds that a sufficient amount of available parking is located within a oneblock radius of this proposal.
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 applicant is requesting approval of a Special Use Permit to serve beer, wine and wine
coolers in a proposed 1,121 square-foot General Personal Service use (an art and instruction
studio) located within an existing retail center at 6535 North Buffalo Drive, Suite #130. The site
is located within the T-C (Town Center) zoning district within the SX-TC (Suburban Mixed Use
- Town Center) Special Land Use designation. A distance separation Waiver accompanies this
application to allow a zero-foot distance separation from an Individual Care Center (a child care
facility) where 400 feet is required. The required Waiver reinforces the unsuitability of the
Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale use at this location. This use is not compatible with the other uses in
the surrounding neighborhood. For these reasons, staff recommends denial of the requested
Special Use Permit; however, if approved subject to conditions.

Requirement
The Beer/Wine/Cooler use
requires a distance separation of
400 feet from an Individual
Care Center.
Request
To allow a zero-foot
distance separation
from an Individual
Care Center where 400
feet is the minimum
required.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends denial of this
distance separation Waiver, as there is
not an adequate buffer between the
proposed use and the protected use.
ANALYSIS
The proposed use is located within the Town Center Master Plan area. The property is zoned SXTC (Suburban Mixed Use Town Center), which can be characterized as being similar to the
Service Commercial district with the addition of medium density residential being a permitted
use and is intended to enable development with imaginative adjacency standards. The proposed
Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale use is permissible in the SX-TC (Suburban Mixed Use Town
Center) Special Land Use designation with the approval of a Special Use Permit.

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.
These are instructions for the Planning Commission. They will have to determine if the
requested Waiver for a distance separation of zero feet from a child care facility should
be granted.
5.
6.
All businesses which sell alcoholic beverages shall conform to the provisions of LVMC
Chapter 6.50. (Nonwaivable)
The proposed use will be required to meet this requirement, as it is a condition of
approval of the Special Use Permit.
The applicant is requesting a Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale use within an existing 1,121 square-foot
general retail space at 6535 North Buffalo Drive, Suite #130.
MR
SUP-58169 [PRJ-58089]
Staff Report Page Seven
April 14, 2015 - Planning Commission Meeting
The proposed Beer/Wine/cooler Off-Sale use would be located within an established Shopping
Center with retail and restaurant uses located throughout the site. The existing retail center
provides cross-access and shared parking throughout the entire commercial shopping center. No
additional parking is required for the proposed use, as the parking requirements were addressed
during the original development of the site.
The shopping center property line abuts a child care facility (an Individual Care Facility use for
more than 12 children) to the north. As the minimum distance separation is measured from
property line to property line, the proposed use fails to meet the required 400-foot distance
separation from an Individual Care Facility use. Staff cannot support this Waiver request, as the
intent of Title 19 is to protect the public welfare and ensure that a proposed use (an alcohol use)
does not adversely affect the less intense use (a child care facility). The secondary impacts
associated with the consumption of alcohol and the proximity (a zero-foot distance separation)
from the child care facility reinforces the unsuitability of the Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale
Establishment use with the surrounding neighborhood and existing land uses. For these reasons
staff recommends denial of this application; however, if approved subject to conditions.
FINDINGS (SUP-58169)
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 use is not compatible with the surrounding land
uses. Title 19.12 requires that the propose use be located more than 400 feet from a Child
Care Facility licensed for more than 12 children to maintain adequate separation between
proposed use (a Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment) and the protected use (an
Individual Care Facility). The proposed use would be located zero feet from the protected
property to the north, thereby illustrating that the proposed use is incompatible with the
existing neighborhood and surrounding land uses.
2.
The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use proposed.
The proposed Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment use will operate within an
existing Shopping Center with shared access and parking throughout the commercial
development. The existing site is physically suitable for the proposed 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.
MR
SUP-58169 [PRJ-58089]
Staff Report Page Eight
April 14, 2015 - Planning Commission Meeting
Access to the subject site is provided by Buffalo Drive, a 120-foot wide Parkway and Sky
Pointe Drive, a 90-foot wide Frontage Road as designated by the Town Center
Development Standards. Both streets provide adequate access for the proposed
Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale use.
4.
Approval of the Special Use Permit at the site in question will not be inconsistent with
or compromise the public health, safety, and welfare or the overall objectives of the
General Plan.
Approval of a Special Use Permit for the Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Use will compromise
the public health, safety, or general welfare, as there is not sufficient distance from a
protected use (a child care facility).
5.
The use meets all of the applicable conditions per Title 19.12.
The proposed use does not meet all of the conditions per Title 19.12, as the applicant has
requested a Waiver to allow a zero-foot distance separation from a protected use (a child
care facility) where a 400-foot distance separation is required. Staff does not support the
requested distance separation Waiver.

ANALYSIS
The proposed Packaged Liquor Off-Sale Establishment use will be located in a C-1 (Service
Commercial) zoning district, in a commercial suite within an established Shopping Center. This
application is for a standalone liquor store that does not affect the parking requirements for the
MR
SUP-58173 [PRJ-58088]
Staff Report Page Four
April 14, 2015 - Planning Commission Meeting
Shopping Center use. There five businesses within a three blocks area that have a license to sell
beer, wine and wine cooler and there are three taverns that have the ability to sell package liquor;
however, there is not a package liquor store. The floor illustrates a number of slot machines that
are not part of this application and are subject to Title 6.40.
A Package Liquor Off-Sale Establishment use is described in Title 19.12 as: An establishment,
other than a retail establishment with package liquor off-sale, 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. 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.
Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements:
* 1. Except as otherwise provided, no package liquor 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.
The subject site is not located within 400 feet of any church/house of worship, school, individual
care center licensed for more than 12 children, or City park.
* 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 approximately 176 feet south of 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:
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-58173 [PRJ-58088]
Staff Report Page Five
April 14, 2015 - Planning Commission Meeting
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. The minimum distance requirements in Requirement 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.
Neither condition applies to the proposed use.
* 5. All businesses which sell alcoholic beverages shall conform to the provisions of LVMC
Chapter 6.50.
The proposed use will be subject to all business licensing requirements outlined in LVMC
Chapter 6.50 if approved.
According to the submitted justification letter and floor plan, the proposed use meets the
definition outlined above. The subject site is not located within 400 feet of any protected use and
adheres to all minimum Special Use Permit requirements for the Package Liquor Off-Sale
Establishment use as detailed by Title 19.12. The proposed use can be conducted in a manner
that is compatible with the surrounding land uses. For these reasons staff recommends approval.
FINDINGS (SUP-58173)
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 location consists of a proposed Package Liquor Off-Sale Establishment
located within an established Shopping Center along with other similar and compatible
uses. There are no protected uses within 400 feet of this property. The proposed use can be
conducted in a compatible and harmonious manner with the existing and future
neighborhood and land uses.

2.
The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use proposed.
The 26,000 square-foot Shopping Center is designed to accommodate a variety of retail,
restaurant and office uses. This site has 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 Package Liquor Off-Sale Establishment can be accessed from Rainbow
Boulevard, a 100-foot Primary Arterials that has adequate capacity to serve the proposed
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 Package Liquor Off-Sale Establishment use will be subject to regular
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 Package Liquor Off-Sale Establishment use meets all distance separation
requirements per Title 19.12. Conditions of approval will ensure conformance with all
other minimum requirements for this use.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The property at the northwest corner of Centennial Parkway and Tenaya Way currently consists
of an undeveloped 30.25-acre parcel. The applicant is requesting to construct 261 multi-family
dwellings in six buildings on 10.56 acres as the second phase of a larger planned multi-family
residential development. The applicant has already obtained approval to develop 111 multifamily units on a 5.11-acre portion of the overall site in the first phase, and the two phases will
be connected. The applicant has also requested a waiver of the Town Center Development
Standards Manual to allow three-story buildings adjacent to low density residential uses without
an intervening single-story structure. The perimeter of the site along Darling Road will contain
improvements that include a landscape buffer that exceeds standards for this use and will
adequately screen the development from the neighboring single-family properties. The
apartment buildings are architecturally similar to those approved in Phase 1, and landscaping and
circulation are appropriate for the development. Staff therefore supports the waiver and
recommends approval of the proposed development, with conditions. If denied, the property
could not be developed as proposed.
ISSUES
A Waiver of the Town Center Development Standards Manual Section C.1.C.2 is required to
allow three-story buildings adjacent to a low density residential use with no intervening
single-story structure, where such is required in the SX-TC (Suburban Mixed Use Town
Center) District. Staff recommends approval of the waiver.
Several parking spaces from Phase 1 will be eliminated to provide access to Phase 2.
Parking will be added in Phase 2 to compensate for this loss. Overall, the site meets required
parking.
Previous approvals for the mixed-use development on this site have expired. However,
conditions of the 2002 and 2006 Town Center Rezoning approvals are still in effect and
require improvements to be made to Centennial Parkway and Darling Road adjacent to this
development.

Pre-Application Meeting
Submittal requirements for a Site Development Plan Review for the second
phase of construction were discussed. The same waiver as was approved for
Phase 1 would also need approval for Phase 2, as the phases were proposed as
separate projects and not part of an overall site development plan review. The
applicant stated that the phases would be connected, and that any parking
spaces lost as a result of reconfiguring Phase 1 would be made up in Phase 2.
02/24/15
Staff determined that a special use permit for private streets would not be
needed (as had been approved for Phase 1), as this is exclusively a multifamily development with private drives rather than a single-family
development with private streets as originally envisioned. Public Works
stated that half-street improvements would need to be completed along
Darling Road and Centennial Parkway as part of this phase.
Neighborhood Meeting
A neighborhood meeting is not required, nor was one held.
Field Check

ANALYSIS
The proposed 261 units in the second phase of the development would bring the total number of
units to 372 on 15.67 acres of the overall parcel for a proposed density of 23.7 dwelling units per
acre. This falls within the maximum density of 25 dwelling units per acre allowed in the SX-TC
(Suburban Mixed Use Town Center) land use designation.

Staff Report Page Nine
April 14, 2015 - Planning Commission Meeting
Development of the site is subject to the requirements of the Town Center Development
Standards Manual (Manual). Unless otherwise stated by the Manual, deviations from the
Manual may be requested through a waiver that accompanies a Site Development Plan Review.
Where the Manual is silent, Title 19 controls. The project meets the SX-TC requirements for
setbacks, height, open space and design. The residential adjacency setback standard from the
multi-family buildings to the property line of the single-family properties is 100 feet, per Section
C.1.C.2.d of the Manual; the site plan indicates that the 100-foot setback requirement is met.
In SX-TC where projects of at least 25 acres are adjacent to low density residential uses,
proposed building heights over two stories are required to maintain an intervening one-story
buffer between the taller buildings and the neighboring properties. This requirement was waived
for the first phase of the project. For the second phase, the applicant proposes to place carports
between the multi-family buildings and the single-family homes to the north, which does not
meet the standard and will require a similar waiver. The proposed 18-foot landscape buffer from
Darling Road with 24-inch box Shoestring Acacia trees is acceptable in lieu of a single-story
building. As is required by Title 19, a six-foot wall will separate the single-family properties
from this development. Staff therefore supports the waiver.
Access to Phase 2 would be from a gated entrance at Centennial Parkway and from the west and
south sides of Phase 1. Circulation would be by means of 25-foot wide private drives with
primarily covered parking on both sides.
Parking must be met for Phase 2 separately and for both Phases 1 and 2 collectively. Five
additional spaces were added to Phase 2 to make up for the spaces lost in Phase 1 as a result of
providing access. A similar issue will arise with future phases. In this instance, three spaces
labeled as eight-foot wide compact spaces will be part of Phase 3 and are not counted as a part of
Phase 2. The 652 total spaces provided meet the parking requirements for the overall project to
date.
Unfinished streetscape on Centennial Parkway and landscaping along Darling Road and Tenaya
Way will be required to be completed as part of this phase of development. Because the 20-foot
wide Beltway Trail was integrated into the Loop Road standards for Centennial Parkway as a
condition of rezoning of the property, a 10-foot sidewalk and five-foot amenity zone are
provided in lieu of the standard five-foot sidewalk and four-foot amenity zone. The plantings are
generally in conformance with the Town Center Development Standards Manual; however, a
condition of approval will ensure that the proper number and size of palm trees is provided. In
addition, the tree spacing interval along Tenaya will be required to be 20 feet instead of 30 feet;
20 feet was also required for Phase 1.
The proposed buildings will have the same architectural features as provided in Phase 1 for
continuity. The Mediterranean-styled buildings will contain variations in roofline, popouts,
columns and balconies, and will have the same tuck-under garages provided for buildings in
Phase 1. Materials include earth-tone painted stucco exteriors, wrought-iron railings and colored

concrete tile for roofing. Five one and two-bedroom floor plans will be provided, ranging in size
from 707 square feet to 1,307 square feet. The 4,613 square-foot single-story club house will
contain a gym, locker room, club room, theater and offices.
FINDINGS (SDR-58164)
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.
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 Phase 2 development is consistent with the goals and intent of the Town
Center Development Standards Manual. Staff supports a waiver to the special SX-TC
(Suburban Mixed Use Town Center) building height requirements that apply to this site,
since additional landscaping and screening will be provided on the northern perimeter.
Conditions of approval will ensure that the appropriate Town Center streetscape planting
design and perimeter wall design are applied.
3.
4.
Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the City;
The applicant is proposing to use a variety of building materials that all fit within a
Mediterranean theme. The amended elevations retain the same architectural style as
approved for Phase 1. Landscape materials are drought-tolerant and appropriate for use in
Town Center.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting to vacate a City of Las Vegas public right-of-way generally known as
Lewis Avenue located on the south side of property located on the northeast corner of Lewis
Avenue and 10th Street. The right-of-way area to be vacated is approximately 140 feet long and
10 feet wide; and is bounded on the east by an existing alleyway and west by the 10th Street
alignment. Staff has determined it is in the best interest for the Citys revitalization efforts to
maintain the current traffic flow on Lewis Avenue without interruption, which is why staff
recommends denial of the request to vacate the south side of property located on the northeast
corner of Lewis Avenue and 10th Street.
ISSUES
The applicant has requested the Vacation of the Lewis Avenue street alignment to facilitate
future development on the existing multi-family residential building located at 1001 Lewis
Avenue.

LEGAL DESCRIPTION
Being a portion of the North Half (N) of the Southeast Quarter (SE 114) of Section 34,
Township 20 South, Range 61 east, M.D.M., City of Las Vegas, Clark County, Nevada, also a
portion of the northerly right of way of Lewis Avenue.
Beginning at the most northwesterly corner of Lot 16, Block 11. of Pioneer Heights Addition to
Las Vegas, Nevada, as shown by map recorded in Book 1, Page 35 of plats; thence south
6215'00" east along the southwesterly line of said lot 16, a distance of 140.00 feet to the most
southwesterly corner of said lot 16; thence south 27'45'00" west a distance of 10.00 feet; thence
north 6215'00" west a distance of 129.93 feet to a point of curvature; thence northwesterly along
a curve 15.71 feet being concave northeast with a radius of 10.00 feet having a central angle of
9000'00" to the point of beginning. Containing 1,377.88 square feet.
ANALYSIS
This Vacation application proposes to vacate existing Public Right-of-Ways. Public Works offers
the following comments:
A. Does this vacation request result in uniform or non-uniform right-of-way widths? It
would result in a non-uniform right-of-way width as it is only proposing to vacate half
of a block of an entire street.
B. From a traffic handling viewpoint will this vacation request result in a reduced
traffic handling capability? Not at this time. Depending on future development,
should Lewis Street be widened or developed per Complete Street Standards, there
could be traffic handling issues.
C. Does it appear that the vacation request involves only excess right-of-way? No. It is
to vacate a portion of Lewis Street to be used for adjacent private improvements.
D. Does this vacation request coincide with development plans of the adjacent parcels?
The applicant is proposing to remodel the adjacent property, assessor parcel #139-34712-055, and use the vacated right-of-way for onsite beautification purposes.
E. Does this vacation request eliminate public street access to any abutting parcel? No.
F. Does this vacation request result in a conflict with any existing City requirements?
Potentially; vacation of the subject right-of-way could limit the ability to construct
Complete Street improvements if this portion of Lewis Avenue is ever upgraded.
JB
VAC-58163 [PRJ-57806]
Staff Report Page Six
April 14, 2015 - Planning Commission Meeting
G. Does the Department of Public Works have an objection to this vacation request?
Yes. We have been improving streets near the downtown area and turning them into
Complete Streets. Vacation of this right-of-way reduces the capacity for widened
sidewalks and Complete Street improvements.
The Department of Public Works is opposed to the Vacation application request generally known
Lewis Avenue located on the south side of property located on the northeast corner of Lewis
Avenue and 10th Street.
FINDINGS (VAC-58163)
The Department of Public Works and Department of Planning are opposed to this Petition of
Vacation since the proposed vacation of public right-of-way would limit the future ability to
construct Lewis Avenue to Complete Street Standards and result in an irregular right-of-way width.
Therefore, Staff recommends denial with conditions.
