ANALYSIS
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 and change the land use designation to ML (Medium Low Density
Residential). On 04/14/15, the Planning Commission approved 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.
The applicant is currently requesting a Tentative Map for a 58-lot single-family subdivision to
cover the 10.42-acre site. The previously approved General Plan Amendment (GPA-57033)
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. As proposed, the subject site would have a density of 5.8 dwelling units per acre, which
complies with the maximum density limitations.
The proposed lots take access from Deer Springs Way. As an 80-foot wide Major Collector, Title
19.04 requires Deer Springs Way to be constructed to Complete Streets Standards. These
standards include provisions of five-foot sidewalks and three-foot amenity zones within the
right-of-way, with shade trees to be spaced a maximum of 40 feet on center within the planter
area. The submitted landscape plan, date stamped 03/26/15, illustrates compliance with the
minimum requirements of Title 19.04.190 with a three-foot wide amenity zone and 36-inch box
Rio Grande Ash or 24-inch box Holly Oak every 40 feet on center. In addition, perimeter
landscaping is required outside of the right-of-way along Deer Springs Way, consisting of a sixfoot buffer area with deciduous, evergreen or palm trees spaced a maximum of 40 feet on center.
The submitted landscape plan illustrates compliance with a six-foot wide buffer area and 24-inch
box Texas Mountain Laurel or Holly Oak trees every 40 feet on center.
GK
TMP-58507 [PRJ-58401]
Staff Report Page Seven
Direct access to the residential lots will be provided via 47-foot wide public streets with five-foot
wide sidewalks located on either side of the street. As proposed, the 47-foot wide public streets
are to be constructed to Complete Street Standards. The submitted tentative map and landscape
plan illustrate three-foot wide amenity zones with shade trees spaced 25 feet on center, which
adhere to the minimum requirements outlined by Title 19.04.210. Adjacent to the east of the
subject site is a single-family residential subdivision, in which the applicant is proposing a
connection. According to the submitted tentative map, Inyo Avenue, which is a 47-foot wide
public street, provides interconnectivity between the two single-family residential subdivisions.
The lot sizes of the development range from 5,000 square feet up to 9,149 square feet.
According to the submitted Tentative Map, the proposed home models adhere to the minimum
setback requirements for the R-CL (Single Family Compact-Lot) zoning designation as outlined
by Title 19.06. The floor plans of the individual model types were not submitted as a part of this
review. A detailed review of the floor plans will occur during the plan check and permitting
process.
The connectivity ratio of 1.28 is below the standard of 1.30, as outlined by Title 19.04.040.
Connectivity is a measure of how efficiently a transportation network provides access between
internal and external destinations. A well-connected street system has minimal dead-ends (culde-sacs). As connectivity increases, travel distances decrease and route options increase,
allowing more direct travel between destinations. A higher connectivity ratio creates a
transportation system that is more accessible, especially for pedestrians and bicyclists. A
Variance is normally required to deviate from the 1.30 minimum requirement; however, Title
19.04.040(B)(2)(a) allows the connectivity ratio to be reduced through the submittal of an
Administrative Deviation application, with the advisement of the Director of Public Works. The
Department of Public Works supports the Administrative Deviation, as the subject site is
extremely limited on connectivity options. Located to the south of the subject site is the 215
Beltway with a substantial grade differential creating a gap between any potential connections to
the Beltway Trail. Adjacent to the east is a single-family residential subdivision, in which the
applicant is proposing a connection.
The submitted north/south and east/west cross sections depict a grade ranging from 3% to 4.7%
across this site. Per the Tables in Subdivision Code 19.06.050, a development with slope more
than 2% is allowed a maximum six-foot retaining wall. The combination of perimeter walls and
retaining walls cannot exceed 12 feet. The submitted cross section, date stamped 03/24/15,
depicts a maximum retaining wall height of four feet, six inches, which is in compliance with
Title 19.06.
FINDINGS (TMP-58507)
As the designed tentative map conforms to Nevada Revised Statutes for subdivision of land and
Title 19.06 requirements for R-CL (Single Family Compact-Lot) development, staff recommends
approval, with conditions.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting to remap the land area covered by the existing tentative map approval
(TMP-53058) for all of the Skye Canyon Master Plan Area, excluding the (approximately) 160
acres already mapped as Skye Canyon Phase 1. This map shows how this land will be
resubdivided into Development Parcels (as termed by the restated Skye Canyon Development
Agreement) that will in turn be further subdivided by Designated Builders to whom the parcels
will be sold. Per the Development Agreement, this map will be recorded in phases. Each phase
will then be subdivided into one or more Development Parcels containing residential lots, local
streets and other details through another tentative map-final map process. This parent map
substantially complies with the Skye Canyon Development Agreement, the Kyle Canyon
Development Standards and Design Guidelines and applicable City requirements. Staff therefore
recommends approval, with conditions. If denied, the land could not be subdivided as proposed.
ISSUES
A revised Kyle Canyon Development Agreement (for the area now called Skye Canyon)
was approved April 15, 2015 by the City Council. Development standards are contained
within the Development Agreement materials that affect street widths and streetscape, and
subdivision density, lot sizes and widths. This and future maps must conform to these
requirements.
Since this is a parent map, perimeter wall details and elevations do not need to be shown on
this map. Perimeter wall conditions will need to be submitted on subsequent tentative maps
to ensure conformance with Skye Canyon development standards, with Master Developer
approval.
Perimeter streets on the overall development will be required to meet City of Las Vegas
Complete Streets Standards (Title 19.04) for streetscape. A condition of approval will
require technical landscape plans to be submitted concurrent with submittal of tentative maps
for developer parcels.
A Master Homeowners Association was formed and covenants, conditions and restrictions
for the master development were recorded on 10/15/14.
Several of the street names on this Parent Tentative Map affected by the approved Street
Name Change (SNC-55060) are inaccurate. A condition of approval requires that the phase
maps based on this tentative map reflect the street name changes approved through that
action.

cross sections and perimeter landscaping would not need to be shown on this
parent map, but would instead be required on successive tentative maps on the
subdivided developer parcels. As there was already a previous tentative map
approved by the name of Skye Canyon, a unique name must be used for this
map. Skye Canyon II was suggested.

The purpose of this parent tentative map is to delineate the overall boundaries of successive
phases of development of Skye Canyon and to subdivide this area into a number of development
parcels. Development Standards will be applied to the future tentative maps on the various
Developer Parcels created from the final parent map. The future maps must conform to the
revised Skye Canyon Development Agreement, the revised Kyle Canyon Development
Standards and revised Skye Canyon Parks Agreement.
ANALYSIS
Projects within Skye Canyon are subject to the terms and requirements of the revised Skye
Canyon Development Agreement with the City of Las Vegas, the Skye Canyon Development
Standards and Parks Agreement. The revised agreement and attached exhibits were approved
April 15, 2015 by the City Council.
SS
TMP-58560 [PRJ-58484]
Narrowly defined by the approved Development Agreement, the Parent Tentative Map is a
preliminary subdivision map of the Property [the entire 1,661.95 acres controlled by the Master
Developer] that is the first discretionary request by the Master Developer to legally subdivide the
Property pursuant to the provisions of NRS 278 and the UDC. Such map shall delineate all areas
to be subdivided, including roadways and related necessary rights-of-way, easements and
common areas. Furthermore, such map shall not include any residential lots.
The previously approved Parent Tentative Map (TMP-53058) for Skye Canyon divided the entire
1,661-acre site into 45 Development Parcels, or pods. Only four of these pods were further
subdivided into what is now Skye Canyon Phase 1, at the northwest corner of Grand Teton Drive
and Grand Canyon Drive. Per Title 19.16.050 and based on NRS, after the first final map is
recorded on a portion of the area approved for the tentative map, any subsequent map must be
recorded within two years of recordation of the first map, or the Tentative Map will expire.
TMP-53058 will therefore expire 09/18/16. If this map (TMP-58560) is approved, no further
action needs to be taken with regard to the first parent Tentative Map.
The entire area is zoned T-D (Traditional Development), which was established to permit and
encourage the development of comprehensively planned mixed-use communities, with a
minimum of 80 contiguous acres of land under one ownership or control, which can generally
exist as a self-contained community. Development standards were approved through a separate
Development Standards and Design Guidelines document included with the revised Skye
Canyon Development Agreement.
Several of the street names on this Parent Tentative Map affected by the previously approved
Street Name Change (SNC-55060) for this site are inaccurate. For example, W Skye Canyon
Park Dr is indicated as W. Skye Canyon Park Drive and N Skye Canyon Park Dr is indicated
as N. Skye Canyon Park Drive. SNC-55060 can only be exercised through recordation of an
agreement between the Master Developer and the City of Las Vegas for the financial
responsibility of the Master Developer associated with the street name changes. A condition of
approval requires that the phase maps based on this tentative map accurately reflect the street
name changes approved through that action.
Street sections of major streets are called out on the tentative map in conformance with the
approved revised Kyle Canyon Development Standards, including the multi-use equestrian trail
along the north side of Grand Teton Drive.
Since this is a parent map, perimeter wall details and elevations do not need to be shown on this
map. Perimeter wall conditions will need to be submitted at the time of submittal of tentative
maps for the developer parcels to ensure conformance with the Kyle Canyon Development
Standards, along with Master Developer approval.
SS
TMP-58560 [PRJ-58484]
Perimeter streets for each developer parcel also will be required to meet City of Las Vegas
Complete Streets Standards (Title 19.04) for streetscape. A condition of approval will require
technical landscape plans to be submitted concurrently with submittal of tentative maps for
developer parcels.
The Department of Public Works did not have any specific issues with the map as proposed. The
Development Agreement has specific triggers for when certain developer parcels can be
developed and most requirements can be found in the Skye Canyon Development Agreement.
Subsection 3.06(c)(i) of the Agreement outlines three prerequisites to submittal of a parent
Tentative Map: conditional approval of all master studies; submittal of an exhibit acknowledging
that all parcels within the Skye Canyon development, including those parcels labeled Not a
Part have, or will be provided legal access; and submittal of a Master Utility Plan. The map
itself must show all additional right-of-way for turn lanes and bus turnouts required by the
master traffic study; these have been shown on the major streets displayed on the Tentative Map.
The parent Tentative Map substantially conforms to the approved Skye Canyon Development
Agreement, the approved Kyle Canyon Development Standards and Title 19 requirements for
Tentative Maps. Therefore, staff recommends approval with conditions.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting a Rezoning application to change the zoning district from R-E
(Residence Estates) to R-1 (Single Family Residential) on 2.03 acres of land located on the
northwest corner of Deer Springs Way and Thom Boulevard. Staff recommends approval of the
request as the density of the proposal is compatible with the existing residential developments
surrounding the site. If denied, the parcel would remain unchanged and only residential
development that meets the current R-E (Residence Estates) zoning district standards could be
development on the site.

ANALYSIS
The subject request is to change the zoning designation of a 2.03 acre parcel of land located on
the northwest corner of Deer Springs Way and Thom Boulevard from R-E (Residence Estates) to
R-1 (Single Family Residential). This request is allowed under the ML (Medium Low Density
Residential) land use designation. Similar action was allowed directly to the east and south of
this proposal.
This proposal supports Objective 2.6 of the General Plan: To improve the amount and quality
of infill development on vacant and underutilized lands within established areas of the city.
The area adjacent to the site is all developed as single-family, detached properties and this
proposal would allow a similar development pattern. The parcel is also located within the 330foot buffer area of the Rural Preservation Overlay. This allows City Council, for good cause
shown, to approve a greater density or intensity of use than that which exists within the Overlay
District. In this case, the applicant is requesting a 33% greater density than what is found in the
nearby Rural Preservation Overlay. The good cause shown is the fact that all properties directly
adjacent to the Rural Preservation Overlay have also been zoned R-1 (Single Family Residential)
has outlined in the applicants justification letter. As a result of this fact, staff supports the
request.
FINDINGS (ZON-58533)
In order to approve a Rezoning application, pursuant to Title 19.16.090(L), the Planning
Commission or City Council must affirm the following:
YK
ZON-58533 [PRJ-58384]
1.
The proposal conforms to the General Plan.

The proposed Rezoning to R-1 (Single Family Residential) conforms to the density range
allowed by the existing ML (Medium Low Density Residential) General Plan designation
and supports Objective 2.6 of the General Plan. However, the density is 33% greater than
the density in the Rural Preservation Overlay and impacts this proposal since the parcel is
located within the 330-foot buffer area of the Overlay.
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 uses allowed on the subject property will
seamlessly blend with the existing single-family residences found on all four perimeters of
the property.
3.
Growth and development factors in the community indicate the need for or
appropriateness of the rezoning.
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.
Street or highway facilities providing access to the property are or will be adequate in
size to meet the requirements of the proposed zoning district.
Access to the property is provided by Deer Springs Way, identified as an 80-foot Collector
Street on the Master Plan of Streets and Highways. This road is adequate to meet the
traffic demands of the proposed Rezoning. Access is also available via Thom Boulevard, a
60-foot Local Street.

ANALYSIS
The Public or Private School, Primary use is defined as An institution that provides
kindergarten through 8th grade education and is supported by a public, religious or private
organization. The proposed use meets the definitions as indicated in the applicants justification
letter.
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for the Public or Private School, Primary use
include:
1. Provide adequate pick-up and drop-off areas on-site.
The proposed use meets this requirement as the circulation plan as indicated on the site
plan clearly shows the on-site pick-up and drop-off area with ample stacking for dozens
of cars.
The Public or Private School, Secondary use is defined as An institution that provides 9th
through 12th grade education and is supported by a public, religious or private organization.
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for the Public or Private School, Secondary use
include:
YK

1. Being located on a collector street or larger.

The proposed use meets this requirement as Bonanza Road is designated as a Primary
Arterial on the Master Plan of Streets and Highways map.
The rear two and one half acres of this 6.86 acre property is undeveloped. The applicant is
proposing to develop this portion of the site into a soccer field and expand the parking lot. These
enhancements to the site are being designed to meet current C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning
development standards, with no waivers or deviations. This will include providing a landscape
buffer along the entire south perimeter and a 180-foot length of both the east and west
perimeters. The result will be a more aesthetic and pleasing buffer for the residential properties
adjacent to the site. No lighting is proposed for the soccer field at this time.
Although Public Works staff has concerns about the egress onto Bonanza Road with only one
driveway; specifically, the left turn movement, no recommendation or conditions have been
offered to address them at this time. The circulation pattern being offered on site is ample to
address the anticipated number of students at full capacity. Traffic is directed to meander
through the site from west to east following the parking aisle layout. This will allow for ample
stacking of vehicles while pick-up and drop-offs are taking place.
Although the property was previously developed, the following comments were received from
the Las Vegas Valley Water District (LVVWD) regarding this project: This parcel is currently
served by LVVWD, but the existing fire line does not have the required backflow prevention per
NAC 445A.67195. Civil and plumbing plans will need to be submitted to LVVWD for meter
sizing, available fire flow, and installation of required backflow prevention.
When the site was originally developed, no side yard landscape buffers or parking lot
landscaping was required. The applicant is expanding and reconfiguring the majority of the
parking lot on the site, mainly in the rear of the building. As such, they will add the code
required parking lot landscaping enhancing the project and making it more compatible with the
neighborhood. In addition, side and rear perimeter landscape buffers will be added along the
rear portion of the site as part of the soccer field addition. Several new trees will be added along
the front landscape buffer to conform to the original site landscape requirements. The landscape
table above indicates the current code requirements that are only being applied to the enhanced
and newly developed portions of the site. No changes are planned for the exterior of the building
at this time.
FINDINGS (SUP-58548)
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:
YK

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 public charter school is appropriate and in proximity to existing residential
uses to the north, west and south and will be both harmonious and compatible with the
area.
2.
The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use proposed.
Containing nearly seven acres, the site is large enough to accommodate the school use and
ancillary recreational areas and parking in conformance with Title 19 requirements.
3.
size to meet the requirements of the proposed use.
The site is accessed off Bonanza Road, a 100-foot wide Primary Arterial as designated by
the Master Streets and Highways Map. This roadway is adequate to meet the needs of the
proposed use.
4.
Approval of the Special Use Permit at the site in question will not be inconsistent with
or compromise the public health, safety, and welfare or the overall objectives of the
General Plan.
The public safety, health and welfare will be protected by the schools design and through
implementation of conditions of approval requiring various permits, inspections and
professional studies prior to commencement of the use.
5.
The use meets all of the applicable conditions per Title 19.12.
The proposed Public or Private School, Primary use meets the Special Use Permit
requirements for an adequate pick-up and drop-off area.

ANALYSIS
The Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment use is defined in 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 above as stated in the justification letter, the applicants
intent to offer Beer/Wine/Cooler to restaurant customers.
MR
SUP-58222 [PRJ-57551]
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/house of worship, school,
individual care center licenses for more than 12 children, or City park.
The use complies with this requirement, as there are no protected uses within 400 feet of
the proposed use.
2. Except as otherwise provided in Requirement 3 below, the minimum distances referred to
in Requirement 1 shall be determine with reference to the shortest distance between two
property lines, one being the property line of the proposed restaurant service bar which is
closes 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 restaurant service bar.
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 parcels; 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
Requirement1.
The proposed use meets this requirement; measurement is taken from the existing
property line of Lot A of Parcel Map File 115 Page 77, located at the northwest corner of
Charleston Boulevard and Nellis 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
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 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.
MR
SUP-58222 [PRJ-57551]
This requirement does not apply to the proposed use, as the subject property contains an
area 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
reason in support of the decision.
This requirement does not apply as there are no protected uses within 400 feet of the
proposed use.
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.
This requirement does not apply to this application.
6. All businesses which sell alcoholic beverages shall conform to the provision of LVMC
6.50.
The proposed Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale use meets this requirement. The proposed use
will be in conjunction with the service of food. LVMC 6.50 is a standard condition of
approval that cannot be waived.
The proposed Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment use will be located within an existing
6,349 square-foot restaurant in a C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district. The applicant would
like to sell beer wine or wine coolers for on premise consumption. The site is an existing
Shopping Center, as defined by Title 19.12 and meets the minimum on-site parking requirements
for a Shopping Center.
The subject property is within 500 feet of the County of Clarks jurisdiction; therefore, this
request qualifies as a Project of Regional Significance. All the proper documents were
completed and distributed to the required departments and agencies. The Las Vegas Valley
Water District returned the comment below.
MR
SUP-58222 [PRJ-57551]
This parcel is currently served by LVVWD but the existing fire line 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.
The proposed use meets all the minimum requirements detail in Title 19.12 for the
Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment use and can be conducted in a manner that is
compatible and harmonious with the surrounding uses; therefore, staff recommends approval.
1.
The subject location consists of an existing shopping center. This use is consistent with
the other retail uses in the center and is consistent with uses generally found in shopping
centers throughout the valley. There are no waivers of minimum distance separation
requirements from protected uses and the use can be conducted in a harmonious and
compatible manner with surrounding land uses.
2.
The proposed use will operate within an existing restaurant within an existing Shopping
Center that is physically suitable for Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment use. The
Shopping Center can accommodate a variety of uses such as restaurants, retail stores and
offices.
3.
The subject property is accessible from Nellis Boulevard and from Charleston Boulevard,
both are 100-foot wide Primary Arterials that can provide adequate capacity to meet the
requirements of the proposed use.
4.
General Plan.
MR
SUP-58222 [PRJ-57551]
The proposed use will be subject to regular inspections by business licensing and will not
compromise the public health, safety and welfare, or the overall objectives of the General
Plan.
5.
The propose use meets all minimum Special Use Permit requirements per Title 19.12.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a Special Use Permit for a 4,623 square-foot Restaurant with Alcohol use
with 2,771 square feet of outdoor seating area at 440 South Rampart Boulevard, Suite #180. The
existing tenant space is part of a multi-suite building within an existing 775,890 square-foot
mixed-use development. A 141-foot distance separation Waiver from a City park accompanies
this application. Staff supports the requested Waiver request as closest access route from the site
to the City park is severely restricted, (approximately 1,400 feet along a pedestrian trail). The site
provides shared parking and access throughout the 28.43-acre site. This use can be conducted in
a harmonious and compatible manner with the existing and future land uses. For these reasons,

remain open; however, alcohol sales will be prohibited unless a Liquor Establishment (Tavern)

ANALYSIS
The applicant is proposing to establish a Restaurant with Alcohol use within an existing
restaurant located in a mixed-use development at 440 South Rampart Boulevard, Suite #180. The
subject site is located with the C-2 (General Commercial) zoning district. The 775,890 squarefoot mixed-use development provides shared parking and access throughout the 28.43-acre site.
The suite is two stories with indoor and outdoor seating areas on both floors. The suite currently
has a land use entitlement for a Liquor Establishment (Tavern) that closed on 04/01/15. A
temporary license was issued for a Restaurant with Alcohol use pending the outcome of this
Special Use Permit. The Tavern Special Use Permit (SUP-39146) be expunged if this Special
Use Permit for a Restaurant with Alcohol use is approved. The proposed restaurant is 4,623
square feet in size with a 2,771 square-foot outdoor seating area. Seating will be provided for
169 patrons (142 seats and 27 bar stools).
The Restaurant with Alcohol use is defined as a restaurant and bar operation with alcoholic
beverage sales in which:
1. The actual seating available at all times within the dining area will accommodate at
least 100 persons. For purposes of this requirement, the dining area does not include
bar stool seating at the bar or lounge seating, but may include table or booth seating
within the bar area and table seating within a patio area;
This requirement is met, as the floor plan illustrates that 142 seats are provided (78 seats
in the dining area and 64 seats in patio area) with an additional 27 sitting stools in the
three bar areas.
2. Alcoholic beverages are served in the restaurant area only in conjunction with the
service of food;
3. Full-course meals are available during all hours the bar area is open to the public;
4. A cook and food server, other than a bartender, are available at all times the bar area is
open to the public; and
5. The restaurant operation is the principal portion of the business.
MR
SUP-58332 [PRJ-58274]
According to the submitted justification letter and floor plan, the proposed use meets the
definition outlined above. The justification letter details the applicant anticipates that more food
will be sold than alcohol. Compliance with the requirement that a cook and food server will be
available at all times the bar is open to the public will be enforced through regular inspections
that occur throughout the licensing process. The floor plan illustrates a restaurant capable of
seating 169 patrons.
The minimum Special Use Permit requirements for this use include:
1. No restaurant with alcohol use shall be located within 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 there is a City park located 141
feet from the proposed use. A distance separation Waiver has been applied for and
which staff supports, as the closest vehicle or pedestrian access to the City park is
along a pedestrian path approximately 1,400 feet to the east.
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 restaurant with alcohol
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 restaurant
with alcohol. 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 measurement is taken from the existing property line of the Village at
Queensridge Lot 1 of Plat Book 143 Page 49, located at the northwest corner of
Alta Drive and Rampart Boulevard.
3. In the case of a restaurant with alcohol 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 restaurant with alcohol will be located, without
regard to intervening obstacles; or
MR
SUP-58332 [PRJ-58274]
b.
In the case of a proposed restaurant with alcohol 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 restaurant with alcohol 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 a restaurant with alcohol
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 to consider when considering a
distance separation Waiver.
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
space.
Neither condition applies to the proposed use.
6. The parcel or use is operated or controlled by an agency or subdivision of local, state

or federal government. (C-V only)
This condition does not apply as the parcel is C-1 (Limited Commercial).
*7. 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.
The proposed use is located within 141 feet from a City park to the northeast where a 400-foot
minimum distance separation is required. The proposed location of this use fails to comply with
MR
SUP-58332 [PRJ-58274]
the minimum distance separation requirements for a Special Use Permit. The requested Waiver
to allow a 141-foot distance separation from a City park use represents a 65% reduction from the
required 400-foot separation mandated by Title 19. Staff supports the requested distance
separation Waiver, as the closest access route to the site from the City park is severely restricted
(approximately 1,400 feet along a pedestrian path). Other than the request Waiver, all Title 19
requirements are met; therefore, staff is recommending approval, as the use is considered
appropriate for the surrounding area. If denied, the restaurant can open at this location; however,
alcohol would be prohibited unless a Liquor Establishment (Tavern) use is reestablished within
the time frame detailed by Title 19 or a different alcohol Special Use Permit is obtained.
1.
The subject location is an existing 775,890 square-foot mixed-use development with
restaurants, taverns, offices, residential and other retail uses. The proposed use 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 Restaurant with Alcohol use, as it
will be operated within an existing mixed-use development that is physically suitable for
this use.
3.
The subject site has shared access to existing driveways onto Rampart Boulevard, an 100foot Primary Arterial and Alta Drive, an 80-foot Major Collector (as designated by the
Master Plan of Streets and Highways). Both roadways are adequate in size to handle the
capacity of the proposed use.
4.
General Plan.
MR
SUP-58332 [PRJ-58274]
Staff Report Page Ten
Approval of this Special Use Permit will not compromise the public health safety and
general welfare of the public. The use will be subject to regular inspections and is subject
to licensing restrictions.
5.
The proposed Restaurant with Alcohol use meets all the applicable minimum requirements
of Title 19.12, except the distance separation Waiver which staff supports.

Re: Special Use Permit for Restaurant with Alcohol (a.k.a. Supper Club) within Tivoli
Village at Queensridge Parcel 1 38-32-601 -003, 440 South Rampart #1 80.
Dear Sir/Madam;
Please consider this request to allow Tapas by Alex, a restaurant with alcohol within Tivoli
Villages mixed use development (S UP-5 8 5 3 ). The site is located within a 29 acre commercial
and residential development located at the northeast corner of Alta Drive and Rampart Boulevard.
The underlying zoning is C-2.

The proposed business is a Spanish themed tapas restaurant. The space was previously used by
two separate tavern operators S UP-3 91 46. This tenant wishes to avoid initiation fees involved
with Tavern licensing thereby changing the use to a Restaurant with Alcohol. The business
expects to sell more food items than alcohol and also has non-lounge seating for more than 1 00
patrons. Areas around the bars will be stanchioned or otherwise buffered to direct minors and
guardians to the seating area. This tenant does not intend to station a bartender at the existing 2 nd
floor bar, however, patrons may still sit adjacent to it should they wish to view the televisions.
This application requires a waiver of separation distance to allow less than 400 feet from the
property line of the subject parcel to the property line of the nearest city park. The Tivoli Village
mixed use development is situated on a parcel on which the north easternmost corner measures
1 41 feet from a playground within Angel Park (1 3 8 -3 2-5 01 -003 ). It is important to note that the
commercial portion of this 3 0 acre parcel is on the westernmost side of the mixed use area.
Consequently approximately 5 60 feet of mid-rise residential development will be situated
between the commercial portion of Tivoli Villages and the subject playground. It is also notable
that there are two barriers between this park and Tivoli Village. The first is an approximate 600
foot fence along the northern boundary of the property. The second is a drainage channel that is
more than 20 feet deep. As a result, a pedestrian must walk 1 65 5 feet to the park while there is
no direct vehicular access. For this reason, the park is suitably protected from this restaurant.
Very truly yours,
Lora Dreja

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting a Special Use Permit to locate a Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale
Establishment within a proposed restaurant located on the ground floor of an 11,708 square-foot
commercial building under construction at 725, 729 and 731 South Las Vegas Boulevard. The
restaurant establishment is 1,152 square feet in size. The Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale
Establishment use will be ancillary to the proposed restaurant land use. Staff recommends
approval, as this request can be conducted in a compatible and harmonious manner with the
surrounding development and the proposal meets the objectives of the Las Vegas Downtown
Centennial Plan by promoting a pedestrian friendly environment with a diverse array of retail
establishments. If denied, the applicant will not be allowed to conduct the Beer/Wine/Cooler OnSale establishment at this location.

*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. There is an existing parking
lot directly adjacent to the site to the north and another directly across Las Vegas Boulevard to the
west which will also provide additional parking in close proximity to the subject site.
ANALYSIS
The subject site is located on the east side of Las Vegas Boulevard, approximately 50 feet north
of Gass Avenue at 725, 729 and 731 South Las Vegas Boulevard. The C-2 (General
Commercial) zoning district is designed to provide the broadest scope of compatible services for
both the general and traveling public. This category allows retail, service, automobile, wholesale,
office and other general business uses of an intense character, as well as mixed use
developments.

In October of 2014, the subject site was originally approved by Site Development Plan Review
(SDR-55324) for an 11,708 square-foot commercial building. In February of 2015, the Planning
Commission approved two Special Use Permits for Tavern-Limited Establishments. The first
Special Use Permit (SUP-57326) was for a 1,152 square-foot Tavern-Limited Establishment on
the ground level of the commercial building. The second Special Use Permit (SUP-57327) was
for an 864 square-foot Tavern-Limited Establishment with 288 square feet of outdoor seating
area on the second level. The applicant is currently requesting to change the previously approved
ground level Tavern-Limited Establishment to a Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale use within a
proposed 1,152 square-foot restaurant. The second level Tavern-Limited Establishment (SUP57327) will remain unaffected by this request.
A Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale use is described in Tile 19.12 as: An establishment whose license
to sell alcoholic beverages is limited to the sale of beer, wine and coolers only for consumption

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; distances have been measured from the existing
property lines surrounding the subject site located on the east side of Las Vegas Boulevard,
approximately 50 feet north of Gass Avenue.
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

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.
This condition is not applicable as the subject site is not located within an establishment, which
has a non-restricted gaming license in connection with a hotel having 200 or more guest rooms
or a proposed establishment having more than 50,000 square feet of retail floor space.
* 6. All businesses which sell alcoholic beverages shall conform to the provisions of LVMC

proposed development specifically meets the goals of Las Vegas Downtown Centennial PlanDowntown South District by promoting a pedestrian friendly environment with a diverse array of
retail establishments. 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.
1.
The proposed Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale use will be ancillary to the proposed 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.

RE: Replacing a Tavern Limited Use Permit with an On S ale beer/wine and coolers.
Dear Sir/Madam:
Rolling Smoke BBQ, will be located on the first level of the Pawn Plaza container park. It is a
cafeteria style BBQ restaurant with a southern picnic theme. Currently it holds a Tavern Limited
use permit (5 73 26). The proprietors are happy to serve only beer and wine with meal; a full bar is
not necessary. The seating capacity is more than 3 0 patrons. It is our position that the requested
use permit us more attractive as origination fees are $ 2, 5 00 versus $ 20, 000.

ANALYSIS
The applicant is requesting a Special Use Permit to add a Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale
Establishment use to an existing restaurant. The Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment use
will be ancillary to the existing restaurant. The justification letter indicates that the applicant is
only interested in serving beer and wine at customers tables and does not plan on having a bar in
the restaurant.
YK
SUP-58487 [PRJ-58233]

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 applicant has
indicated in their justification letter that they only intend on selling beer and wine to customers
with a meal.
The proposed Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment adheres to the Special Use Permit
requirements. It has been determined by staff that the proposed Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale
Establishment can be conducted in a manner that is compatible with the surrounding land uses;
therefore, staff is recommending approval, with conditions.
1.
The proposed use is compatible with the Commercial Sun City Summerlin Land Use
designation and is located within an existing shopping center. The land use can be
conducted in a manner that is harmonious and compatible with the surrounding uses.
2.
The proposed Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment use will operate within an
existing restaurant and will not intensify the impact of the current land use.
3.
The site is accessed by Rampart Boulevard and Lake Mead Boulevard, both of which are
designated as 100-foot Primary Arterials by the Master Plan of Streets and Highways.
These streets provide adequate access to and from the subject property for the proposed
use.
4.
General Plan.
Approval of this Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment will not compromise public
health, safety, or welfare, as the use will be subject to regular inspections.

ANALYSIS
This is a request for a Major Amendment to approved Special Use Permit (SUP-50433) for a
proposed 1,376 square-foot expansion into a portion of the adjacent suite to an existing 1,400
square-foot beer/wine/cooler on-sale use within an existing restaurant at 505 Fremont Street.
The Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale use is defined by Title 19.18 as: An establishment whose
license to sell alcoholic beverage is limited to the sale of beer, wine and coolers for consumption
only in connection with a meal on the premises where the same is sold, and is operated in
connection with a restaurant in which 30 or more people may be served with meals at any one
time at tables or stools.
The proposed use meets the definition, as the provided floor plan shows an approximate 2,776
square-foot restaurant with seating for up to 54 persons at a time. Beer, wine, and wine coolers
would be sold only with meals for consumption on the premises.
1. Except as otherwise provided, no beer/wine/cooler on-sale establishment with
(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 protected uses within 400 feet
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, as there are no protected uses within 400 feet
JB
SUP-58513 [PRJ-58388]
3. In the case of an establishment proposed to be located on a parcel of at least 80 acres in

size, the minimum distances referred to in Requirement 1 shall be measured in a straight
line:
a. From the nearest property line of the existing use to the nearest portion of the
structure in which the establishment will be located, without regard to intervening
obstacles; or
b. In the case of a proposed establishment which will be located within a shopping
center or other multiple-tenant structure, from the nearest property line of the
existing use to the nearest property line of a leasehold or occupancy parcel in
which the establishment will be located, without regard to intervening obstacles.
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.
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
space.
Neither of the above conditions applies to the proposed use.
*6. All businesses which sell alcoholic beverages shall conform to the provision of
LVMC Chapter 6.50.
The proposed use will meet this requirement, as it is a condition of approval of the
Special Use Permit.
JB
SUP-58513 [PRJ-58388]
The proposed use meets all Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements, is complementary to the
proposed 2,776 square-foot restaurant use, and will add to the variety of commercial uses and
other existing retail establishments found surrounding the site. Alcoholic beverages are only to
be served in conjunction with meals within the existing restaurants designated seating area.
There is no request for any outdoor dining areas or encroachment. No additional parking
required beyond that which is required for the principal use on the site.
This project was routed to outside agencies for comments. The Las Vegas Valley Water District
(LVVWD) responded with the following comment, 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.
Staff recommends approval of this request, as the proposed use is harmonious and compatible
with the existing restaurant use and the surrounding uses located within the Downtown
Entertainment Overlay District and the Fremont East District. If denied, the applicant would be
allowed to continue operating the Restaurant use but without the addition of the
Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale use.
1.
The proposed Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment use is located in the Downtown
Centennial Plan - Fremont East District and the Downtown Entertainment Overlay District
and is compatible with the surrounding land uses. No waiver of minimum distance
separation requirements from protected uses is required.
2.
The proposed use will operate within a proposed 2,776 square-foot restaurant located
along the south side of Fremont Street with nearby on-street and garage parking provided.
The proposed use will not increase parking demands of the existing site beyond that
required of the existing restaurant.
3.
JB
SUP-58513 [PRJ-58388]
Site access is provided from Fremont Street, an 80-foot Major Collector as designated in
the Master Plan of Streets and Highways, which 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 two nearby public parking garages and on-street parking meters to satisfy the
developments parking demand. Staff finds that a sufficient amount of available parking is
located within a one-block radius of this proposal.

JUSTIFICATION LETTER
SUP APN 139-34-601-002; 505 Fremont Street Suite: Beer and Wine Onsale Special
Use Permit
Dear Mr. Perrigo:

Please accept this as our official justification letter for an SUP fo r proposed Beer and Wine
Onsale Establishment. The Application is for MAJOR AMENDMENT TO A PREVIOUSLY
APPROVED SUP FOR A PROPOSED 2,776 SQUARE FOOT BEER AND WINE ONSALE
ESTABLISHMENT IN AN EXISTING BUILDING at 505 E Fremont Street, Las Vegas,
Nevada 89101 zoned C-2 (General Commercial).

This entitlement will be a total of 2,776 square feet of interior space, including 1,097 square feet
of seating area and 1,679 square feet of back of house operation for Flippin Good Burgers. The
previous entitlement (SUP-50433) covered 1,480 square feet for beer and wine onsale of the
previous restaurant operation at this location, thus we are requesting a major amendment to this
SUP given it is greater than 50% increase in total square footage.

This new proposed beer and wine onsale establishment will allow Downtown visitors and
residents a new place to dine and socialize with a proven Las Vegas restaurant operator. This use
is harmonious and compatible with surrounding land uses and will add to the pedestrian-friendly
environment in the Downtown neighborhood.

If you have any questions and/or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Todd Kessler

GK
SUP-58547 [PRJ-58492]
ANALYSIS
The Urban Lounge use is described by Title 19.12 as, An establishment that is licensed for the
sale of alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises where the same are sold, and the
sale, to consumers only and not for resale, of alcoholic beverages in original sealed or corked
containers, for consumption off the premises where the same are sold; and meets the Minimum
Special Use Permit Requirements set forth below.
1. The use is limited to the area located within the boundaries of the Las Vegas Arts
District, as described in the Downtown Centennial Plan and as amended from time to
time.
The proposed use meets this requirement, as the subject site is located in the center of the
18b The Las Vegas Arts District.
2. For each seat provided at the bar of the establishment, there must be a minimum of two
seats within a lounge area located away from the bar.
The proposed use meets this requirement, as the provided floor plans show a bar area
with 20 seats and 112 seats provided in the remaining dining, lounge and patio areas.
3. The use is subject to the provisions of LVMC Chapter 6.40 relating to gaming and
LVMC Chapter 6.50 relating to liquor control.
The proposed use will meet this requirement by condition of approval.
The proposed use meets the definition, as the submitted justification letter, date stamped
03/26/15, details the sale of alcoholic beverages in conjunction with a restaurant. The subject site
is located within the Las Vegas Downtown Centennial Plan boundaries, and is located in the 18b
The Las Vegas Arts District. This 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 proposed Urban Lounge use and restaurant would locate on the ground floor of an
existing two-story building. The remaining 3,600 square-feet of ground floor space is utilized for
general retail. The second level consists of a 13-unit multi-family residential use.
The proposed Urban Lounge use adheres to the Minimum Special Use Permit requirements by
operating within the boundaries of the Las Vegas 18b The Arts District and providing a ratio of
at least two seats in the lounge area for every seat provided at the bar. According to the
GK
SUP-58547 [PRJ-58492]
submitted floor plan, date stamped 03/26/15; the proposed Urban Lounge use would occupy
4,687 square feet of interior space and provide an additional 654 square feet of outdoor dining
area within patio and sidewalk seating areas. The floor plan indicates 20 seats to be provided at
the bar area and more than 112 seats within the remaining dining, lounge and patio areas.
The parking standards of Title 19 are not automatically applied for proposals within the
Downtown Centennial Plan; however, the applicant anticipates utilizing nearby public parkinglots and on-street parking meters to satisfy the developments parking demand. In addition, the
site has excellent access to the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) route to the east, which will assist in
reducing the number of vehicle trips generated by the development.
The proposed Urban Lounge use is consistent with Title 19 and meets the primary goal of the
18b The Las Vegas Arts District to, Promote the arts in general, as well as the enhancement of
existing business, while encouraging new pedestrian oriented commercial, professional, and
residential growth within the neighborhood. The proposed project is consistent with the goals
and objectives of the Downtown Centennial Plan, as well as the Minimum Special Use Permit
requirements as outlined by Title 19.12. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the Special
Use Permit for an Urban Lounge use.
1.
The proposed location for the Urban Lounge use is compatible with the surrounding land
uses and supports the goals of the Downtown Centennial Plan and the 18b The Las Vegas
Arts District by providing pedestrian-oriented commercial growth and aesthetic
enhancements to the property.
2.
The proposed Urban Lounge use will operate in conjunction with a proposed restaurant.
The Urban Lounge use will be in addition to the restaurant and will have a negligible
increase in traffic and parking to the existing site.
3.
GK
SUP-58547 [PRJ-58492]
The principal vehicular access point for the subject site is Casino Center Boulevard, an 80foot wide Major Collector and California Street, a 70-foot wide Local Street, as classified
by the Master Plan of Streets and Highways. Both streets are 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. In addition, the site has excellent access to the
Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) route to the east, which will assist in reducing the number of
vehicle trips generated by the development.
4.
General Plan.
The proposed Urban Lounge use 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 for an Urban Lounge use per Title 19.12
and the Downtown Centennial Plan.

Re: Harvest & Larder, LLC Justification Letter
Dear Department of Planning:
We, Harvest & Larder, LLC, are applying for a Special Use Permit with the City of Las Vegas for
the creation of two (2) food and beverage concepts within 4,520 square feet and outdoor
seating, to be located at 1130 S. Casino Center Blvd.; which are Harvest & Larder, a full service
restaurant and Grazing Pig Charcuterie, serving charcuterie and sandwiches. We are also
applying for an Urban Lounge License with the desire to create a dining destination at the
corner of S. Casino Center Blvd. and California St., within the 18b Arts District, further adding to
the positive change in that area. We, Executive Chef/Founder, Brian Howard and Managing
Partner/Founder, Corey Nyman, will be at the restaurants on a daily basis working in the
kitchen and on the floor, respectively.
Harvest & Larder, focusing upon Seasonal American Cuisine, will be open for Lunch, Brunch and
Dinner, serving a full menu from 11:00am until 2:00am while Grazing Pig Charcuterie will be
open from 11:00am until 7:00pm, serving charcuterie (meats & cheeses), sandwiches and
custom butcher cuts. Our hope is to employ at least 35 staff members, potentially up to 50;
providing jobs and positions to talented culinarians and food & beverage professionals.
As both of us have been in Las Vegas for over 14 years each, working in various restaurants on
the Strip and around the Valley, we believe it is time to give back to the city that has become
our adopted hometown and given us so much. We believe that those who live in the
surrounding area and city overall are desiring the restaurant concepts that we are hoping to
bring to the Arts District. We want to create a place where diners are welcome, feel good

ANALYSIS
The applicant is proposing to add a Liquefied Petroleum Gas Installation (Over 288 Gallons) use
to an existing Building & Landscape Material/Lumber Yard business located within a shopping
center. The proposed use is located on the southeast central portion of the shopping centers
parking lot.
YK
SUP-58568 [PRJ-58428]
The Liquefied Petroleum Gas Installation (Over 288 Gallons) use is defined as 1. Which
includes tanks, piping or gas equipment (or any combination thereof); 2. Is used or intended to be
used for the storage, dispensing or other utilization of liquefied petroleum gas; and 3. Whose
tanks have an aggregate water capacity of more than 288 gallons, unless the tanks are part of an
installation in a mobile home park or similar multiple-unit installation whose units are served by
individual tanks, the tanks are not interconnected, and each individual tank has a water capacity
of less than 125 gallons. The proposed use meets the definition as outlined in the applicants
justification letter.
1. This use is permitted in accordance with the applicable zoning district requirements if the
installation complies with the provisions of NRS 590.465 et seq.

This use is permitted in the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district with an approved
Special Use Permit.
2. Any installation which was made nonconforming by the adoption of the standards of this
Title regarding liquefied petroleum gas installations is subject to the expansion and
discontinuance provisions set forth in LVMC Chapter 19.14.
This condition does not apply to this site.
The applicant would like to offer this service to their customers. They have proposed the
location to be as close to the front door of the store as code permits. This will make it easily
accessible for both employees and customers who want to utilize the service. The tank will be
protected with bollards.
The installation of the tank will remove five parking spaces from the shopping center. Since the
shopping center is over parked per code by 18 spaces, no adverse impact is expected. Staff has
directed the applicant to relocate the handicap parking space as close to the one that will be
removed for this project as possible. The applicant has complied with this request.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing to locate a Social Service Provider use for homeless veterans within
an existing 4,713 square-foot commercial building at 200 Foremaster Lane. The use is
permissible in the C-2 (General Commercial) zone by means of a Special Use Permit; however,
the proposal does not comply with the minimum parking requirements, as well as with the goals
of the Downtown North Land Use Plan. The Downtown North Land Use Plan recommends that
no new or expanded services for the homeless be located in the area.
The applicant is also requesting relief from the parking requirement via a Special Use Permit for
an Alternative Parking Standard to allow four parking spaces where 16 are required. However,
since the project is not in compliance with the Downtown North Land Use Plan, staff
recommends denial on both applications. If denied, the proposed Social Service Provider use
could not be located on the site.
ISSUES
A Special Use Permit is required for an Alternative Parking Standard to allow four
parking spaces, where a minimum of 16 parking spaces is required. Staff does not
support this request as the project does not support the goals and objectives of the
Downtown North Land Use Plan.

Potential Issues
*Applicant mentioned that someone will be living on-site as a
caretaker for the facility*
o Councilman Barlow had concerns with this due to building and
safety/zoning codes.
*The applicant mentioned that the facility may be used by other
agencies for drug and alcohol counseling. They also indicated that the
subject property currently has a 2,000 square-foot area built-out as a
church; they indicated that they would allow neighborhood churches
to use the facility during the weekends.
o These are different land uses which are not indicated in the
Justification Letter submitted by the applicant.
Constituents Concerns
Concerns were raised over the handling of loitering homeless in the
area by the Metro Police
A representative for Palm Mortuary expressed concerned about the
spillover effects this proposed use will have on surrounding
businesses.
o Expressed concerns about people previously distributing food
and services in their parking lot or on the right-of-way in front
of their property blocking their ingress/egress, disrupting their
business and damaging property.
Concerns were raised about what an alternative parking analysis is and
why it was requested with this proposal.
The applicant explained that it was similar to a parking Variance and
Code requirements for the proposed use allows for this type of
application to address the parking needs of the project.

ANALYSIS
The subject property is located within the boundaries of the Downtown North Land Use
boundaries, and has a General Commercial (GC) land use designation. The C-2 (General
Commercial) designation allows a Social Service Provider use, as proposed.
The Social Service Provider use is defined as A facility that provides assistance to persons with
limited ability for self-care, but for whom medical care is not a major element. This use includes
a facility that provides assistance concerning psychological problems, employment, learning
disabilities or physical disabilities, but does not include a rescue mission, homeless shelter or an
adult day care center. The proposed use meets the definition per the justification letter,
specifically, The CARE center will provide specialized crisis intervention services to United
States Veterans through its partnership with Veterans Village, Downtown Las Vegas. There
are no minimum requirements for the proposed use.
However, the Downtown North Land Use Plans Social Services Section does not support such
uses. Specifically, it states, However, in order to have a more equitable distribution of services,
the city will work to prevent the expansion or the addition of any new facility that services the
homeless within this area. Staff recommends denial of the project in order to support and
comply with the adopted Downtown North Land Use Plan.
The applicant has provided an Alternative Parking Demand Analysis that was prepared by a
Nevada licensed Professional Engineer. Within the analysis an alternative parking standard was
proposed based on observations of a similar facility located within one-half mile of the proposed
site. A parking ration of 0.829 stalls per 1000 square feet was established. Based on this
YK
SUP-57330 and SUP-57331 [PRJ-56939]

standard, the proposed 4,713 Social Service Provider use would only require four parking stalls.
This is the number that the applicant is providing with this request. Since the proposed use is not
in conformance with the Downtown North Land Use Plan the alternative parking standard cannot
be supported and staff therefore recommends denial.
1.
This project is not compatible with the Downtown North Land Use Plan and therefore, is
not appropriate for the area.
2.
Although the proposed use is appropriate for the commercial site, the proposal cannot
adhere to minimum parking requirements as outlined by Title 19.12. The submitted
parking demand analysis substantiates a reduced number of parking spaces required and
therefore, the intensity of land use is acceptable.
3.
Site access is provided by Foremaster Lane, a 60-foot wide local street. This is adequate to
meet the use proposed for the site.
4.
General Plan.
Approval of the Special Use Permit will not compromise the public health safety and
general welfare. The use will be subject to regular inspections and is subject to licensing
restrictions.
5.
Aside from the parking deviation that is requested with this application, all other
requirements of Title 19.12 are being met.
YK
SUP-57330 and SUP-57331 [PRJ-56939]

1.
This area of the city is saturated with Social Service Provider uses as determined by City
Council when they modified the Downtown North Land Use Plan to not allow additional
Social Service Provider uses to be located in the area. The Social Service Provider use is
not consistent with the General Plan Land Use designation as outlined by the Downtown
North Land Use Plan.
2.
The subject site is generally adequate for the use proposed for the site. The facility will
require the approval of an Alternative Parking Standard, as the property does not comply
with the parking requirements listed in Title 19.12.
3.
Site access is provided by Foremaster Lane, a 60-foot wide local street. This is adequate to
meet the use proposed for the site.
4.
General Plan.
Approval of the Special Use Permit will not compromise the public health safety and
general welfare. The use will be subject to regular inspections and is subject to licensing
restrictions.
5.
There are no additional conditions per Title 19.12 for a Social Service Provider.

** 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.
The Board of Commissioners approved a request for Rezoning (Z-0140-63)
11/20/63
from R-E (Residence Estates) to C-1 (Limited Commercial) on this site.
The City Council approved a Site Development Plan Review [Z-0140-63(1)]
for a proposed 43,055 square-foot office building on this site. The Planning
07/05/00
Commission recommended approval on 05/25/2000. The City Councils
approval expired July 5, 2002.
YK


A Minor Site Development Plan Review (SDR-2809) was approved by staff
08/15/03
for two Modular Office Buildings at 501 North Lamb Boulevard.
The property owner was cited by Code Enforcement (Case #94274) for
violation of Condition #1 of Site Development Plan Review (SDR-2809),
09/09/10
which required that a new Site Development Plan Review be submitted after
two years from final date of approval.
The Planning Commission approved a Site Development Plan Review (SDR40119) for two existing 1,400 square-foot modular office buildings with a
12/16/10
waiver to allow a perimeter landscape buffer width of zero feet along a
portion of the north perimeter where eight feet is required on 12.59 acres at
501 North Lamb Boulevard. Staff recommended denial.
SC (Service Commercial) to M (Medium Density Residential) on 12.59 acres
located at 501 North Lamb Boulevard. The Planning Commission and staff
02/18/15
The City Council approved a Rezoning (ZON-57255) from C-1 (Limited
Commercial) to R-3 (Medium Density Residential) on 12.59 acres located at
501 North Lamb Boulevard.
The Planning Commission and staff
The Planning Commission held VAR-58121, VAR-58122, VAR-58123 and
SDR-58124 in abeyance to the May, 12, 2015 Planning Commission at the
04/14/15
applicants request in order to re-notify the cases as the Variance for the
number of parking spaces was incorrect.
10/17/07
cc. 1965
A Union Hall structure was completed.
Staff met with the applicant twice in order to work with them to design a
project within City of Las Vegas Code requirements. Staff provided the
02/10/15 &
applicant with design alternatives that would allow the number of units
02/19/15
requested to be developed meeting all code requirements. The applicant is
choosing to voluntarily not comply with code requirements. Staff strongly
encouraged the applicant to reconsider their development strategy.
YK

Field Check
03/05/15
Staff visited the site and found a vacant Union Hall on the site. The property

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.
YK

The development offers future residents a 6,900 square-foot recreation building, swimming pool,
small turf area and large dog run to utilize. There is also a multi-use non-equestrian trail
adjacent to the development on the south for residence use. However, the project offers no direct
connective to the trail. Residents will be required to walk out to Lamb Boulevard in order to
access this public recreational amenity. Staff recommended the applicant provide a direct
connection to the trail, but the applicant declined citing security concerns. This paved trail is
fully developed and follows the Las Vegas Wash footprint.
Although the applicant could build up to five-story buildings, they are choosing to keep the
height to three-stories. This is primarily due to the need to install elevators if they go higher than
three-stories. The elevation of the buildings reflects a contemporary stucco aesthetic. The
primary color pallet is Desert Gray, Center Ridge and Sand Dollar for the stucco areas of the
buildings with the fascia being Black Walnut and the doors being Buffalo Herd tints. The roof
will have Newport Sun colored tiles to complete the aesthetic. Six of the ten residential
buildings will have handicap accessible units.
This project was submitted to outside agencies for comment. The Las Vegas Valley Water
District (LVVWD) responded as follows: This parcel is currently served by LVVWD but does
not have the required backflow prevention per NAC 445A.67195. Civil and plumbing plans will
need to be submitted to LVVWD for meter sizing, available fire flow, and installation of
required backflow prevention.
This project is expected to add about 1,596 trips per day on to Lamb Boulevard. Currently,
Lamb Boulevard is at 65 percent of capacity. Completion of this project will raise the capacity
to 68 percent. Based on peak hour use, this project will add about 149 trips or five trips every
two minutes. No adverse traffic impacts are expected with completion of this development.
The site is laid out with one ingress/egress drive aisle directly off of Lamb Boulevard. A 220foot long driveway with seventeen parking spaces divided on either side is provided before a
controlled entry gate for residence is encountered. This allows for adequate stacking at the gate
and for visits to arrive and park without impeding the traffic flow into and out of the
development. A crash gate is located along the north perimeter for a secondary emergency
access use. An emergency cross access agreement is conditioned to be recorded with the
adjacent property owner to the north. Parking is provided evenly throughout the development
off a circular driveway and connecting aisles. A majority of the provided parking spaces are
covered with a little over 12 percent comprising compact parking spaces in size.
Although developing additional housing opportunities for low income residents is a much needed
option in the East Las Vegas community, developing below the minimum code standards is not
appropriate. Staff worked with the applicant by proposing several alternatives to the design that
would allow the development to maintain the density required and to meet all code requirements
without the need for any Variances, Waivers or Exceptions. The applicant thanked staff for the
suggestions, but are choosing to move forward with a development that doesnt meet minimum
code standards. Staff is recommending denial of all applications as the proposed development
fails to meet code requirements that could otherwise be met through alternative site design.

FINDINGS (VAR-58121)
In accordance with the provisions of Title 19.16.140(B), Planning Commission and City Council,
in considering the merits of a Variance request, shall not grant a Variance in order to:
1.
2.
3.
Permit a use in a zoning district in which the use is not allowed;

Vary any minimum spacing requirement between uses;
Relieve a hardship which is solely personal, self-created or financial in nature.
Additionally, Title 19.16.140(L) states:

Where by reason of exceptional narrowness, shallowness, or shape of a specific piece of
property at the time of enactment of the regulation, or by reason of exceptional
topographic conditions or other extraordinary and exceptional situation or condition of
the piece of property, the strict application of any zoning regulation would result in
peculiar and exceptional practical difficulties to, or exceptional and undue hardships
upon, the owner of the property, a variance from that strict application may be granted so
as to relieve the difficulties or hardship, if the relief may be granted without substantial
detriment to the public good, without substantial impairment of affected natural resources
and without substantially impairing the intent and purpose of any ordinance or
resolution.
No evidence of a unique or extraordinary circumstance has been presented, in that the applicant
has created a self-imposed hardship by proposing to provide fewer parking spaces than code
requirements. An alternative is to provide all the required parking spaces 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.

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.

resolution.
has created a self-imposed hardship by not installing required parking lot wheel stops and only
installing a six-foot wide adjacent sidewalk. An alternative would be to provide the seven-foot
sidewalk 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

1.

This project is not compatible with adjacent developments or the area as evidenced by the
numerous Variances, Waivers and Exceptions being requested.
2.
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.

The expected number of trips generated will be able to be handled with on Lamb
Boulevard with the build-out of this project, if approved.
4.
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.

The contemporary aesthetic being presented is harmonious and compatible with the area
and will not create an unsightly or obnoxious appearance.
6.
general welfare.
YK

Staff Report Page Eleven
The proposed multi-family residential development will be subject to City inspections

during construction of the buildings as well as routine business license inspections to
protect the public health, safety and welfare.

** 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.
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.
The Planning Commission held Variance (VAR-58157) in abeyance for one
04/14/15
month to allow members of the Commission to meet with the applicant on site
to discuss the matter.

02/01/08

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.
YK
VAR-58157 [PRJ-58018]
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.
Field Check
03/05/15
Staff visited the site and found a single-family, detached residence. The
property was maintained and free of trash and debris. The carport with a
previously approved Variance for a four-foot side yard setback is still present.

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
YK
VAR-58157 [PRJ-58018]
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.

resolution.
has created a self-imposed hardship by proposing an addition that does not meet the minimum
front yard setback requirements. An alternative is to have all proposed additions meet
established code setbacks 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.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a Special Use Permit for a proposed Retail Establishment with Accessory
Package Liquor Off-Sale use within an a proposed general retail use at 5900 West Cheyenne
Avenue. The proposed general retail store is 5,300 square feet in size with 257 square-feet of
space used for the display of alcoholic beverages. The Retail Establishment with Accessory
Package Liquor Off-Sale use will be ancillary to the proposed general retail store. As this request
meets all the minimum Special Use Permit requirements and can be conducted in a compatible
and harmonious manner within the proposed general retail use, staff recommends approval of
this application. If denied, the applicant will not be allowed to conduct the Retail Establishment
with Accessory Package Liquor Off-Sale use at this location.
ISSUES
The Retail Establishment with Accessory Package Liquor Off-Sale use is permitted in the C1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district with the approval of a Special Use Permit.
The City Council approved a Rezoning (Z-0120-78) for a reclassification of
property from R-1 (Single Family Residential) to C-1 (Limited Commercial)
02/21/79
on property located on the northeast corner of Jones Boulevard and Cheyenne
Avenue.
The City Council approved a Plot Plan and Building Elevation Review [Z09/22/87

Retail Establishment with Accessory Package Liquor Off-Sale use within a
proposed 5,300 square-foot general retail store at 5900 West Cheyenne Ave,
Assessors Parcel 138-12-416-007. There were 15 members of the public that
attended the meeting.
03/05/15
During the meeting the following concerns were raised:

Concerns were raised over the potential increase in traffic to the
subject site.
o The applicant explained that the subject tenant space was part
of a larger shopping center and that traffic to the site would be
similar to other retail uses which have been within the
shopping center. He also indicated that the majority of the
shopping center was currently vacant.
Concerns were raised regarding a potential over-saturation of alcohol
uses in the area, because of other businesses in the area which offer
similar services.
o The applicant indicated alcohol will be a small part of the
overall services and items provided at the site. He stressed the
fact that they are limited to 10% of the retail floor area by Title
19 requirements.
Concerns were raised over whether or not there would be security
guards provided on-site. Also, constituents were concerned about what
steps the applicant will take to prevent the subject property from being
vandalized in the future, because that was an issue in the past at that
subject location.
o The applicant explained that the subject tenant space would
continue to be monitored by the existing security provided by
the Shopping Center.
o The applicant also indicated that he would be installing 24
security cameras to the subject tenant space. In addition, he
would also paint over any new graffiti the day it happens to
help deter further vandalism of the property.
One constituent asked what the proposed hours of operation would be.
o The applicant indicated that no hours of operation have been
set at this time.
One constituent asked if gas pumps were associated with this request.
o The applicant indicated that no gas pumps were associated
with this request.
Many constituents voiced concerns about wanting another big-box
retailer in the Shopping Center since it has been vacant for so long.

** 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 10 th 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

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]
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.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Transportation & Streets and Highways Element will be amended by incorporating a
number of downtown streets into Citys Master Plan of Streets and Highways. An exception is
being requested to allow certain 60-foot wide streets within Symphony Park to be classified as
Major Collectors, which typically have a minimum right-of-way width of 80 feet. The Southeast
Sector Master Plan of Streets and Highways Map (Map 2A) will also be updated to reflect the
proposed changes.

ANALYSIS
The Transportation & Streets and Highways Element will be amended by incorporating a
number of downtown streets into Citys Master Plan of Streets and Highways. The Southeast
Sector Master Plan of Streets and Highways Map (Map 2A) will also be updated to reflect the
proposed changes. This update is required in order to improve downtown traffic circulation and
to permit these roadways to be eligible for outside improvement funding.
All of the street additions are proposed as Major Collectors, which are defined by LVMC
13.12.106 as streets or highways which have a minimum right-of-way width of 80 feet and an
existing or potential design capacity of two travel lanes of traffic in each direction, with a center
turn lane or a raised median with left turn pockets. The streets within the downtown core (6th
through 11th Street) are all 80 feet in width and meet the requirements of a Major Collector.
The streets within Symphony Park are 60 feet in width and an exception is being requested for
the classification of these streets as Major Collectors. LVMC 13.12.110 allows for the approval
of an exception to the right-of-way widths identified in LVMC 13.12.106 when such exceptions
FS
GPA-58319 [PRJ-58551]
are deemed necessary. This exception is necessary and justified because these streets within
Symphony Park are specially designed 60-foot right-of-ways to back of curb, which allow for the
full width of the street to be utilized for traffic purposes. Upon construction, these 60-foot wide
streets will exhibit the same design functionality as an 80-foot Major Collector. If this exception
is approved, Schedule 13-1A will be subsequently updated as required by LVMC 13.12.110.
The following streets are requested to be included as planned streets on the Southeast Sector
street classification map:
Location
6th Street, between Bonneville Ave and Stewart Ave
8th Street, between Bonneville Ave and Clark Ave; and

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting a Site Development Plan Review (SDR-58520) to convert an existing
3,298 square-foot, single-story apartment building to an office building on 0.19 acres at 510
South 10th Street. The site is zoned R-3 (Medium Density Residential) and requires a zone
change to P-O (Professional Office) for the proposed use. The proposed Rezoning (ZON-58518)
is consistent with the current General Plan land use designation of MXU (Mixed Use). Staff
supports this rezoning request.
A parking Variance (VAR-58519), two landscape buffer width Waivers and two parking lot
landscape design Exceptions are associated with this application. The requested Waivers and
Exceptions are warranted, as the request reflects existing site conditions. Staff does not support
the requested Variance, as it reinforces that the proposed use (Office, Other Than Listed) is too
intense for the site as proposed. Staff recommends denial of the Variance (VAR-58519) and Site
Development Plan Review (SDR-58313). If all applications are denied, the existing residential
use can remain; however, if the property is rezoned, then once the existing residential use ceases
it will not be allowed to be reestablished under the P-O (Professional Office) zoning district.
ISSUES
The site currently has a single-story multi-family structure that the applicant intends to
convert to an office building, which requires a Site Development Plan Review.
The site is zoned R-3 (Medium Density Residential). A Rezoning from R-3 (Medium Density
Residential) to P-O (Professional Office) is required to allow the applicant to convert the
existing multi-family structure to an office use.
A Variance to allow five parking spaces where 11 parking spaces are required has been
requested.
A Waiver of the Title 19.08.080 perimeter landscape requirement has been requested to
allow a zero-foot landscape buffer along a portion of the north and south property lines,
where an eight-foot buffer is required.
Two Exceptions of Title 19.08.110 are required to allow no parking lot fingers or trees in
islands at ends of the parking row.
The site has an existing chain link perimeter fence. The applicant is requesting to retain the
chain link perimeter fence along the south property line. This material is permitted if
approved in conjunction with a development plan.
There is a non-permitted shade structure on site. A complaint was filed with Code
Enforcement on 04/22/15.

1. The need to rezone the property from R-3 (Medium Density Residential)
to P-O (Professional Office) to allow for an office use.
The conversion of an existing multi-family building to an office building
requires a site development plan review.
2. Discussed the perimeter landscaping requirements.
3. The need for a parking Variance to allow five parking spaces or the
03/11/15
possibility of obtaining a shared parking agreement or alternative
parking agreement.
4. An Exception from the parking lot landscaping island and vegetation is
needed.
5. A need for a landscape buffer waiver on the north and south property
lines.
6. A street light convenant to be recorded.
7. A reversionary map to combine multiple lots into a single lot.
Field Check
04/02/15
A field inspection was conducted on the subject site, which revealed that the
site contains an occupied multi-family building with a non-permitted shade
structure along the rear of the property.

ANALYSIS
The 0.19-acre subject site is located near the southeast corner of Clark Avenue and 10th Street.
The applicant is requesting to convert an existing 3,298 square-foot multi-family use into a four
suite office building, which requires a Site Development Plan Review. The site is zoned R-3
(Medium Density Residential) and an office use requires the property to be rezoned to P-O
(Professional Office). The site does not have the minimum number or parking spaces required by
code for the proposed use; as such, a parking Variance is required. Also, there is a zero-foot wide
landscape buffer along portions of the north and south property lines, which requires two
landscape buffer Waivers and two landscape parking lot design Exceptions.
The General Plan designation of MXU (Mixed Use) allows for a mix of uses that are normally
allowed within the L (Low Density Residential), ML (Medium Low Density Residential), M
(Medium Density Residential), H (High Density Residential), O (Office), SC (Service
Commercial), and GC (General Commercial) Master Plan land use categories. The proposed
zone change from R-3 (Medium Density Residential) to P-O (Professional Office) is consistent
with the General Plan. The existing neighborhood is transition from a residential neighborhood
to office district. The properties to the west are zoned P-O (Professional Office). The requested
zone change is consistent with the neighborhood and the General Plan. As such, staff supports
the rezoning application.
MR

The existing building faade will remain unchanged with one exception. The permitted but not
finalized (or non-permitted) attached carport at the rear of the property will be removed. The
interior of the existing building will be brought in conformance with current code requirements.
The four-unit apartment complex will be four office suites. A Condition of Approval was added
to ensure the building is properly addressed.
There is a residential property to the north and south that require a minimum six-foot tall screen.
The site plan indicates that the existing block wall four feet tall along the northern property line;
however, the wall steps up from four feet at front yard setback to over seven feet at the rear of
the property. Also, the applicant has proposed to utilize the existing chain link fence that meets
the minimum height requirement. Title 19.08.040 (G)(3)(a) prohibits the use of chain link
fencing unless approved as part of an overall plan. This Site Development Plan Review fulfills
that requirement and if approved a condition of approval has been added to ensure the chain link
fencing is in good condition and meets Title 19 wall minimum requirements. Staff does not
support the use of chain link fencing as screening material, as it does not adequately screen the
adjacent property and is unsightly and utilitarian in nature. Additionally, the site does not have a
trash enclosure and the development plan has not proposed one; as such, a Condition of
Approval has been added to ensure that a waste management company will allow curb-site
garbage pickup for the proposed office use.
Public Works noted that this site may require mapping and recommend that the Department of
Planning impose the condition that the applicant shall coordinate with the City Surveyor and
other city staff to determine the most appropriate mapping action necessary to consolidate the
existing lots. The mapping action shall be completed and recorded prior to the issuance of any
building permits. A condition of approval has been added to ensure this occurs.
This application was properly noticed and the Las Vegas Valley Water District returned the
following comments: This parcel is currently served by LVVWD but does not have the required
backflow prevention per NAC 445A.67195. Civil and plumbing plans will need to be submitted
to LVVWD for meter sizing, available fire flow, and installation of required backflow
prevention.
Vehicle circulation is limited to the alley rear parking lot. Pedestrian egress and ingress is
provided along 10th Street and from the rear alley. The applicant has indicated that they are
attempting to negotiate a shared parking agreement for the adjacent property to the north. Said
property is a house of worship parking lot. The house of worship located 501 South 9th Street
constructed the parking lot in the 1960s; however, a shared parking agreement does not exist.
Without a shared parking agreement a parking Variance is required to allow a 55 percent
reduction (or five parking spaces where 11 are required) of the on-site parking requirement.
Staff does not support this Variance.
MR

Title 19.08.040(F)(9)(a) allows curb cuts to encroach in the required buffer zone. The alley to
the west is one continuous curb cut and therefore does not require a landscape Waiver. However,
two Waivers from Title 19.08.040 are required to allow a zero-foot landscape buffer where eight
feet is required on a 131-foot long portion of the north property line and 70-foot long portion of
the south property line. Also, two Exceptions to Title 19.08.110 are required to allow no parking
lot landscape fingers or vegetation. Staff supports the requested Waivers and Exceptions, as the
requests are for existing site conditions and the applicant has proposed some improvements.
The perimeter landscaping is a mix of existing drought tolerant landscaping and proposed
landscaping. The existing California Fan Palms, Oleander, Lantana, Bottle Brush, Birds of
Paradise and mystery shrubs combined with the proposed 24-inch box trees and five gallon
shrubs will improve the street experience along 10th Street; however, the existing and proposed
vegetation falls short of complying with code requirements.
The conversion of a less intense use (multi-family residential) to a more intense use (an office)
requires additional parking. The applicant can redesign the existing site to provide the required
parking, obtain a shared parking agreement or request a parking Variance. The applicant is
requesting a parking Variance. Said parking Variance reinforces the unsuitability of the Site
Development Plan Review for this location. Staff recommends denial of both the Variance
(VAR-58519) and Site Development Plan Review (SDR-58520) requests. If all applications are
denied, the existing residential use can remain; however, if only the Rezoning (ZON-58518)
application is approved, then once the existing residential use ceases it will not be allowed to be
reestablished under the P-O (Professional Office) zoning district.
FINDINGS (ZON-58518)
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 P-O (Professional Office) zoning classification is in conformance with the
MXU (Mixed Use) Land Use designation of the General Plan for the subject site.
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 site is located in an area along 10th Street that is a mix of office, residential, and civic
uses. The proposed P-O (Professional Office) zoning district is appropriate for this site, as
typical uses in P-O (Professional Office) zoning district are intended to allow for office
uses in an area which is predominantly residential but because of traffic and other
MR

factors is no longer suitable for the continuation of low density residential uses. The PO zoning district allow for the office uses, which the applicant is requesting.
3.
Growth and development factors in the community indicate the need for or
appropriateness of the rezoning.
The applicant intent is to repurpose the existing site for an office use. The Rezoning of the
site is consistent and appropriate for this area as, the area has been transitioning from
residential to commercial uses over a period of many years.
4.
size to meet the requirements of the proposed zoning district.
The site fronts 10th street with alley access to Clark Avenue and Bonneville Avenue and
pedestrian access to 10th Street. The existing streets and alley provides adequate access for
the proposed office use.

resolution.
has created a self-imposed hardship by proposing to convert an existing residential structure
without providing the required minimum parking. Alternatively, the existing structure could be
altered and the site could be redesigned to provide the minimum parking required by code or an
MR

alternative parking agreement could be obtain to provide the deficient six required parking
spaces. In view of the absence of any hardships imposed by the sites physical characteristics, it
is concluded that the applicants hardship is preferential in nature, and it is thereby outside the
realm of NRS Chapter 278 for granting of Variances.
1.

The conversion of the existing multi-family structure as proposed is not compatible with
the adjacent residential, office and civic uses, as the proposed office is beyond the sites
physical capacity. The associated parking Variance (VAR-58519) reinforces the
unsuitability of the proposed development.
2.
The proposed office conversion is not in compliance with Title 19 for the proposed use. A
parking Variance is required, as the site fails to provide adequate parking. Two Waivers
are required to allow zero-foot wide landscape buffers along a portion of the north and
south property lines. Exceptions are required to reduce the number of trees and shrubs in
the north, south and east landscape buffer and not to provide any landscaping in the
parking lot. Staff supports the requested Waivers and Exceptions, as they are a result of
existing site conditions; however staff does not support the requested parking Variance.
The parking Variance illustrates the site is overbuilt for an office use.
3.

There is pedestrian access to the site along 10th Street, and vehicle and pedestrian access is
provided by an alley. The alley has direct access to Clark Avenue and Bonneville Avenue;
both Clark and Bonneville are classified as 80-foot wide Major Collectors. The proposed
development should not negatively impact the adjacent roadways.
4.
MR

The building and part of the existing landscape will remain unchanged. The removal of the
non-permitted shade structure is an improvement to the site. The proposed landscaping
will enhance the site; however, the existing chain link fence does not adequately buffer the
protected adjacent residential property.
5.

The building elevations document the existing building and site structures. The removal of
the patio cover will clean up an unsightly structure. The existing building is not unsightly,
undesirable or obnoxious in appearance; however, the parking variance reinforces the
unsuitability of this project at the proposed location.
6.
general welfare.
A number of conditions of approval have been added to ensure public health. The facility
will be subject to the required reviews for building permits and a final inspection prior to
the issuance for a Certificate of Occupancy, and therefore will not compromise the health,
safety and general welfare.

This project is expected to add about 26 trips per day on 10th St., Bonneville Ave. & Clark Ave. Currently, Bonneville is at
about 9 percent of capacity and Clark is at about 6 percent of capacity. With this project, these capacities are expected to
remain unchanged. Counts are not available for 10th Street in this vicinity, but it is believed to be under capacity.
Based on Peak Hour use, this project will add about 4 trips in the peak hour, or about one every fifteen minutes.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The subject site is located on the southeast corner of Bonanza Road and Las Vegas Boulevard.
The applicant is requesting a Site Development Plan Review (SDR-58412) to modify the
existing site circulation and the basic relationship of the uses with surrounding property. The
outdoor storage is within in the side yard setback area, thus requiring a setback Variance (VAR58411) to allow a zero-foot side yard setback where 10 feet is required. A second Variance is
required to allow a five-foot tall screen wall for outdoor storage where eight feet is required.
Additionally, Exceptions are needed to allow no parking lot landscape islands and vegetation.
The two variances and two exceptions reinforce the unsuitability of this plan. The applicant has
created a self-imposed hardship by overbuilding the site; therefore, staff recommends denial of
all applications. If the applications are denied the applicant will have to remove all the existing
outdoor storage containers or properly screen the containers and place them in a manner that
conforms to current code requirements.
ISSUES
The site is an Auto Repair Garage, Minor use (a tire shop) from a repurposed service station.
The site has outside storage (cargo containers) adjacent to the east property line and the rear
of the existing building. Two barriers (fencing and gates) were constructed to restrict access
to this area. The redesign changes the basic relationship of the site and parking configuration,
which requires a Site Development Plan Review.
A Variance is required to allow a five-foot block wall where an eight-foot block wall is
required for outdoor storage.
A Variance is required to allow a zero-foot side yard setback where 10 feet is required.
Exceptions of Title 19.08.110 are required to allow no parking lot trees in islands or at ends
parking rows.

1. The submittal requirements for a Site Development Plan Review to

allow the reconfiguration of the site and the addition of outside storage.
2. The need for a parking Variance because the site parking was reduced
from the minimum required.
3. The need for a Variance to allow a wall height of five feet where eight
feet is required for outdoor storage.
4. The need to reface the existing off-premise sign or meet with the City
Surveyor to determine the best means to remove the sign from the
property.
Field Check
04/02/15
Staff conducted a routine field check of the subject site. The non-permitted
Off-Premise sign still exists. Also, there are number of cargo containers on
the southern property line and the site is quite active with vehicles and people
coming and going. It was also noted that a number of people gathered around
the existing taco cart on the north end of the site are in a direct ingress and
egress path along Las Vegas Boulevard and Bonanza Road.

ANALYSIS
A new business owner has moved into the subject site and inherited a number of land use and
Code Enforcement issues. The site is located at 530 North Las Vegas Boulevard, within a C-2
(General Commercial) zoning district. There is an existing Auto Repair Garage, Minor use on
site. The site was developed in 1960 and a number of businesses have utilized the site. This
application is to redesign the basic relationship of the use with the adjacent properties. The
applicants initial development plan required a parking Variance, two setback Variances and a
wall height Variance; however, after working with staff and resubmitting plans after public
notices were published, the parking Variance and one of the two setback Variances were
eliminated.
MR

There is an Off-Premise Sign on site that is in violation Title 19 and the Las Vegas Boulevard
Scenic Byway Overlay (Title 19.10.106). Per Title 19.10.160(C)(3) states: Off-premise signs
are not permitted within the Las Vegas Boulevard Scenic Byway Overlay District. No waiver or
Variance from this prohibition is available. There is an open Code Enforcement case for this
violation. The applicant is attempting to resolve this issue. To ensure compliance, a Condition of
Approval has been added that all signage shall meet code with 30 days.
The proposed site plan is better than what currently exists and comes closer to complying with
most of Title 19 requirement. The proposed location of the outdoor storage containers will allow
for unimpeded access throughout the rear of site. However, Title 19.08.040(E)(4)(e)(i) requires
outdoor storage to have the same setbacks as a building in the propertys zoning district. Due to
the size of the containers they will be located on or close to the side property line, which requires
a zero-foot setback Variance (VAR-58411) where 10 feet is required. Also, Title
19.08.040(E)(4)(e)(iv) requires screening to consist of a solid structure that is at least eight feet
in height including, but not limited to, a building or wall. The cargo containers are adequately
screened to the south by an existing chain link fence, the west by a wrought iron fence and a
proposed eight-foot tall wrought iron to the north; however, there is a five-foot block wall to the
east that does not meet the minimum screening requirements. A Variance is required to allow a
five-foot tall screen wall where eight feet is required. Staff does not support the requested
setback Variance and screening Variance.
The proposed parking configuration is consistent with what was originally approved in 1960;
however, the parking spaces along the southern property line are new and require landscape
fingers and vegetation. Title 19.08.110 requires an Exception to allow no landscape islands
where two are required and no landscaping where two 24-inch box trees and eight, five-gallon
shrubs are required. Staff does not support the requested Exceptions.
A congestion point exists on the northeast corner of the site with the existing Open Air Outdoor
Vending cart and the northern most and most western ingress and egress points. Said access
points have the possibility of a vehicle pedestrian conflict. The applicant may want to limit
access from these driveways when there are crowds around the taco cart.
This application was properly noticed and the Las Vegas Valley Water District returned the
following comments: This parcel is currently served by LVVWD but does not have the required
backflow prevention per NAC 445A.67195. Civil and plumbing plans will need to be submitted
to LVVWD for meter sizing, available fire flow, and installation of required backflow
prevention.
Although, the applicant has worked diligently with staff and submitted a number of revisions this
project is still not in conformance with Title 19 Development Standards due to the overdevelopment of the site. Staff recommends denial of all applications due to the number of
Variances and Exceptions required; however, if approved it will be subject to conditions. If these
requests are denied, then the applicant will have to remove the outdoor storage or screen and
configure cargo containers in a manner that complies with code requirements.

resolution.
has created a self-imposed hardship by proposing to place outdoor storage containers within the
required setback area with proper screening. Alternatively, the applicant could reduce the
number of outdoor storage containers on-site, locate said containers in a manner that would meet
minimum setback requirements, and provide a minimum eight-foot tall screen wall on all sides
of the outdoor storage, which would allow conformance Title 19 requirements. In view of the
absence of any hardships imposed by the sites physical characteristics, it is concluded that the
applicants hardship is preferential in nature, and it is thereby outside the realm of NRS Chapter
278 for granting of Variances.
1.

The proposed development is not compatible with the adjacent commercial uses. The
amount of existing outdoor storage on site is beyond the sites physical capacity. The
associated setback and wall height Variances reinforce the unsuitability of this

The proposed commercial development is not is in compliance with the C-2 (General
Commercial) development standards for the outdoor storage setbacks and screening
requirements. Also, Exceptions are required to allow the deficiency in required parking lot
fingers and landscaping.
3.

Access to the site is a provided by Las Vegas Boulevard and Bonanza Road. Both streets
are classified as 100-foot wide Primary Arterial. Primary ingress is on Las Vegas
Boulevard with secondary access on Bonanza Road. Staff finds that site circulation for the
commercial development is problematic, as there may be vehicle pedestrian congestion
points on the northwest corner of the site. The remaining site circulation is consistent with
similar Auto Repair Garage, Minor uses in the valley.
4.
No landscape material is proposed and the cargo containers utilized for outdoor storage are
universal units utilized throughout the valley and world to store and transport goods;
however, the lack of adequate screening along the eastern property line reinforces the
unsuitability of the outdoor containers at this location.
5.

The outdoor storage is improperly screened and therefore unsightly.

V ariance to have less parking spaces than the ones required.
'V ariance to allow a five-foot tall screen w all w here eight feet is required along the
eastern property line.
S ite D evelopm ent P lan R eview (S D R )
The building on the property is not big enough to be able to store inventory of tires for
sale, but in order to fillthe dem and, I need to have tires of all size and m easurem ent
readily available, and the only option I have is to store them is in cargo containers located
along the fence on the east side of the property and behind the m ain building to the
southeast corner ofthe property.
O ur business consist of fast service and w e do not need m any parking spaces because
m ost of our clients visit us for tire repairs or m aintenance and w e have no retail area, just
service area. S o the averase service and sale tim e for tire sales and install is less than 45
per client.
O ur business does not interfere w ith the taco cart because m ost of their business is done
late in the evening and w e have not had any parking issues w ith them .
I am w illing to com ply w ith recom m endations if the actual set up is as presented is not a
viable option or to reduce the nurnber of containers if need be.
It is im perative and necessary for m e to have the extra storage in order for m y business to
survive and w e sincerely hope the Zoning A dm inistrator, B oard. and P lanning

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for five Variances to allow five lots to have a front yard setback ranging from
15 to 21 feet where 25 feet is required within an approved single-family residential development.
The subject sites are located within a R-D (Single Family Residential-Restricted) zoning district.
All five lots are within the Grand Canyon/Deer Springs subdivision. The applicant wants to
provide home buyers the option to purchase a home larger than the lots were designed to
accommodate. One of the four model homes offered for sale within this development fails to
meet the minimum front yard setback of 25 feet on five platted lots. The site is partially graded
and the subdivision could be redesigned to accommodate the proposed model without a
Variance. 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 five Variance
requests. If denied, all proposed structures will have to meet current setback requirements or no
building permits will be issued.
ISSUES
To allow a 15-21-foot front yard setback Variance for five lots within a 29-lot approved
single-family residential subdivision where 10 feet is required. Staff does not support this
request.
The Clark County Board of County Commissioners approved a Non07/04/ 08
Conforming Zone Change (ZLC-1502-07) at the southeast corner of Dorrell
Lane and Eula Street.
The Clark County Board of County Commissioners approved a Design
Review (DR-0170-13) and a Tentative Map (TM-0045-13) request for a 9105/22/13
lot single family subdivision at the southeast corner of Dorrell Lane and Eula
Street.
The City Council approved an Annexation (ANX-53693) request of 35.00
07/16/14
acres of land located near the northeast corner of Deer Springs Way and
Hualapai Way with an effective date of 07/24/14.
A Final Map (FMP-54785) for a 91-lot single family subdivision at the
11/21/14
southeast corner of Dorrell Lane and Eula Street was recorded.

ANALYSIS
The applicants justification letter indicates this is the largest home model that will be offered for
sale in this subdivision; however, five lots fail to accommodate the largest model size. The
applicant is proposing to offer home buyers the option to buy a single-story residential dwelling
(approximately 3,500 square feet) four to 10 feet inside the required front yard setback of 25 feet,
which represents a 16 to 40 percent encroachment the in the required setback. Three of the five
Variance applications are for interior irregular shaped lots; however, other models are offered for
sale that fit within the building envelop without a setback Variance. 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. Staff recommends denial of all five
applications.

resolution.
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 smaller approved residential models or propose additional home
models that are conformance to 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.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for two Variances to allow two lots to have a rear yard setback of eight feet
where 10 feet is required within an approved single-family residential development. The subject
sites are located within the R-CL (Single Family Compact-Lot) zoning district. Both lots are
within the Gilmore Creek subdivision. The applicant wants to provide home buyers the option to
purchase a home that is larger than the lots were designed to accommodate. This is undeveloped
land and the subdivision could be redesigned to accommodate the proposed model without a
Variance. Substantial evidence has not been presented to warrant the requested Variances. As
such, the hardship is self-imposed and therefore, staff recommends denial of both Variance
requests. If denied, all proposed structures will have to meet current setback requirements or no
building permits will be issued.
ISSUES
To allow an eight-foot rear yard setback Variance where 10 feet is required for two lots
within an approved 29-lot single-family residential subdivision. Staff does not support this
request.
The Clark County Board of County Commissioners approved a Zone Change
08/07/13
(ZC-0360-13) and a Tentative Map for a 29-lot single-family subdivision at
the southwest corner of Gilmore Avenue and Fort Apache Road.
The City Council approved an Annexation [ANX-51432 and Ordinance
01/08/14
(6292)] request of 5.29 acres at the southwest corner of Gilmore Avenue and
Fort Apache Road with the effective date of 01/16/14.
The City Council approved Ordinance (6293) correcting the zoning
classification of the property located at the southwest corner of Gilmore
07/02/14
Avenue and Fort Apache Road from R-E (Residence Estates) to R-CL
(Single Family Compact-Lot).
A Final Map (FMP-53874) for a 29-lot single-family subdivision at the

ANALYSIS
Per the applicants justification letter, this home model is the same product that is offered for sale
throughout the subdivision; however, both lots fail to accommodate the minimum rear yard setback.
The two-story residential dwelling (approximately 2,100 square feet) is two feet inside the
required rear yard setback of 10 feet, which represents a 20 percent intrusion in the rear setback.
No homes have been built and the applicant has the opportunity to redesign the existing lot
configuration or offer a small home model for both lots. The two lots are irregularly shaped;
however, a home model can be offered that will fit within the building envelope without a
setback Variance. 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. Staff recommends denial of both Variances.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This request is for a four-lot single-family residential subdivision located on the southeast corner
of Racel Street and Tioga Way. The applicant is requesting several deviations from code
requirements to allow for no installation of off-site and on-site improvements, as well as wall
heights and street intersection off-sets, as reflected in the three Variances and one Waiver
application that are associated with the Tentative Map. Although staff can support the additional
wall height and intersection off-set, the remaining three applications are not supported. As a
result, staff recommends denial of all five applications associated with this request. If denied, no
permits can be issued for a four-lot residential subdivision and the parcel will remain undivided.
ISSUES
A Variance (VAR-58599) is required to allow no offsite improvements on Tioga Way

and no curb, gutter or streetlights on Racel Street where such are required. Staff does not
support this request.
A Variance (VAR-58600) is required to allow an eight-foot tall retaining wall where four
feet is the maximum allowed. Staff supports this request as a result of the natural slope
of the parcel.
A Variance VAR-58682) is required to allow no sidewalks, streetlights or gate on a
private street where such are required. Staff does not support this request.
A Waiver (WVR-58613) is required to allow a 175-foot intersection offset where 220
feet is required. Staff supports this request as no heavy traffic volume is expected to be
generated by this development in the area.
A Tentative Map is required since the applicant requests Waivers from the development
standards. Staff does not support this request.
The City Council approved an Annexation (ANX-56802) for this site as part
02/18/15
of a larger request. The effective date was 02/27/15.

ANALYSIS
The applicant has submitted a Tentative Map for the development of a four-lot residential
subdivision that includes three Variances and a Waiver request for approval. The first Variance
(VAR-58599) seeks relief from the requirement of installing offsite improvements along both
Tioga Way and Racel Street. The applicant states in the justification letter; It is the developers
belief that by constructing full offsite improvements this would not be consistent with the
surrounding neighborhood and cause issues with the neighbors who currently own horse
properties in the area. Staff does not concur with this assessment of the area and cite the
completed residential subdivision on the north side of Racel Street as a reason for requiring the
offsite improvements, as they did.
Public Works Department staff had the following comment regarding VAR-58682: 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. Additionally, Title 19.04.070.E is in place to clearly separate private streets from public
streets where they do not meet public standards as there is otherwise little to differentiate
between public and private without a gate.
Although half street improvements are not customary in this area, the City is currently working
on building complete streets throughout the City. In the recent past, projects similar to this one
have provided all half-street improvements except for sidewalks and streetlights. A project at the
northeast corner of Tioga Way and Grand Teton Drive has permits issued to construct complete
half-street improvements on Tioga Way. Additionally, no gate is being provided for the private
street cul-de-sac. Therefore, Public Works recommends denial of this application. However, if
approved, with conditions.
The second Variance (VAR-58600) seeks relief from limiting the retaining wall height to four
feet. The applicant is requesting portions of the retaining wall to be nearly eight feet high as a
result of the natural slope of the parcel. The added height is required in order to create the
necessary slope to allow the sewer to drain to the north, where the main sewer connection is
located in the Racel Street right-of-way. Staff supports this request as this hardship is not selfcreated and is necessary in order for the development of the parcel. However, since staff does
not support the other variance requests, we are recommending denial of all associated
applications.
The submitted north/south cross section show a maximum natural grade less than 2% across this
site. Per the Tables in Subdivision Code 19.06.050 a development with natural slope less than or
equal to 2%, is allowed a maximum 4-foot retaining wall. An 8-foot high retaining wall is
shown along the southern property line.
YK

The submitted east/west cross section show a maximum natural grade less than 2% across this
site. Per the Tables in Subdivision Code 19.06.050 a development with natural slope less than or
equal to 2%, is allowed a maximum 4-foot retaining wall. A 3.5-foot retaining wall and an 8foot high retaining wall are shown interior to the site.
The third Variance (VAR-58682) seeks relief from installing sidewalks, streetlights and a gate
for a proposed private street. The applicant cites several nearby four-lot residential subdivisions
with similar conditions. These are primarily located within Clark County and were developed
under a different jurisdictions standards. The property was recently annexed into the City at the
current owners request knowing that development would require City of Las Vegas development
In addition, the applicant requests a Waiver (WVR-58613) to allow an intersection offset to be
less than the required 220 feet. Public Works staff supports this request, but has indicated that
future traffic increases may require mitigation measures. Staff supports this request. However,
since staff does not support two of the variance requests, we are recommending denial of all
associated applications.
A Tentative Map was required, verses a Parcel Map as a result of the need for a separate lot, in
which to locate the required Equestrian Trail along Racel Street. The applicant intends to install
the trail on a separate parcel and then deed it to the City of Las Vegas to maintain. A Parcel Map
does not allow for the proposed five-lot configuration.
The applicant is requesting development of a parcel with multiple deviations from the City of
Las Vegas development standards as evidences by the three Variances and one Waiver request
for this relatively small project. A majority of these requests are not supported by staff and could
create issues that the City would have to address in the future.
In conclusion, a four-lot single-family residential subdivision is an appropriate use for the parcel
when developed to City of Las Vegas development standards. However, the applicant has
requested several deviations from the Citys codes and as a result, staff recommends denial of all
applications as submitted for the project.

YK

Evidence of a unique or extraordinary circumstance has been presented, in that the applicant has
not created a self-imposed hardship by requesting to install an eight-foot tall retaining wall. Do
to the natural grade and contour of the land there are no alternatives that would allow for
conformance to the Title 19 requirements. As a result of this hardship imposed by the sites
physical characteristics, it is concluded that the applicants hardship is not preferential in nature,
and it is thereby within the realm of NRS Chapter 278 for granting of Variances.

FINDINGS (WVR-58613)
Public Works has no immediate concerns with the requested Waiver of intersection offset
distance; however it is possible that traffic patterns in the future might require the limitation of
vehicular movements at the subject intersection to ensure safe operation.
YK

The Tentative Map conforms to Nevada Revised Statutes for a subdivision of land. However, as
evidenced by the three Variances and one Waiver request of Title 19, the project is not
appropriate in its current design; therefore, staff recommends denial.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant has submitted a Parcel Map for a four-lot single-family residential subdivision
located on the southeast corner of Ackerman Avenue and Tioga Way. The applicant is
requesting several deviations from code requirements to allow for no installation of off-site and
on-site improvements, as well as wall heights and street intersection off-sets, as reflected in the
three Variances and one Waiver applications. The Parcel Map is on hold pending the approval of
these applications. Although staff can support the additional wall height and intersection off-set,
the remaining two applications are not supported. As a result, staff recommends denial of all
four applications associated with this request. If denied, the Parcel Map will not be approved
and the parcel will remain undivided.
ISSUES
A Variance (VAR-58604) is required to allow no offsite improvements on Tioga Way

where such are required. Staff does not support this request.
A Variance (VAR-58606) is required to allow an eight-foot tall retaining wall where four
feet is the maximum allowed. Staff does not support this request.
A Variance (VAR-58683) is required to allow no sidewalks, streetlights or gate on a
private street where such are required. Staff does not support this request.
A Waiver (WVR-58614) is required to allow a 200-foot intersection offset where 220
feet is required. Staff does not support this request.
The City Council approved an Annexation (ANX-56802) for this site as part
02/18/15
of a larger request. The effective date was 02/27/15.

06/21/13

There are no related permits on file for this site.

one of the lots being a common lot. The applicant stated the project would be
developed to code.
Staff met with the applicant a second time to work out the applications

ANALYSIS
The applicant has submitted three Variances and a Waiver request for approval needed for the
development of a four-lot residential subdivision. The first Variance (VAR-58604) seeks relief
from the requirement of installing offsite improvements along both Tioga Way and Ackerman
Avenue. The applicant states in the justification letter; It is the developers belief that by
constructing full offsite improvements this would not be consistent with the surrounding
neighborhood and cause issues with the neighbors who currently own horse properties in the
area. Staff does not concur with this assessment of the area.
Public Works Department staff had the following comment regarding VAR-58683: 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. Additionally, Title 19.04.070.E is in place to clearly separate private streets from public
streets where they do not meet public standards as there is otherwise little to differentiate
between public and private without a gate.
Although half street improvements are not customary in this area, the City is currently working
on building complete streets throughout the City. In the recent past, projects similar to this one
have provided all half-street improvements except for sidewalks and streetlights. A project at the
northeast corner of Tioga Way and Grand Teton Drive has permits issued to construct complete
half-street improvements on Tioga Way. Additionally, no gate is being provided for the private
street cul-de-sac. Therefore, Public Works recommends denial of this application. However, if
approved, with conditions.
The second Variance (VAR-58606) seeks relief from limiting the retaining wall height to four
feet. The applicant is requesting portions of the retaining wall to be nearly eight feet high as a
result of the natural slope of the parcel. The added height is required in order to create the
necessary slope to allow the sewer to drain to the west, where the main sewer connection is
located in the Tioga Way right-of-way. Staff supports this request as this hardship is not selfcreated and is necessary in order for the development of the parcel. However, since staff does
not support the other variance requests, we are recommending denial of all associated
applications.
The submitted north/south cross section show a maximum natural grade less than 2% across this
site. Per the Tables in Subdivision Code 19.06.050 a development with natural slopes less than
or equal to 2%, is allowed a maximum four-foot retaining wall.
The submitted east/west cross section show a maximum natural grade greater than 2% across this
site. Per the Tables in Subdivision Code 19.06.050, a development with natural slope greater
than or equal to 2% is allowed a maximum 6-foot retaining wall. No retaining walls are shown
on the east/west cross section.
YK

The third Variance (VAR-58683) seeks relief from installing sidewalks, streetlights and a gate
for a proposed private street. The applicant cites several nearby four-lot residential subdivisions
with similar conditions. These are primarily located within Clark County and were developed
under a different jurisdictions standards. The property was recently annexed into the City at the
current owners request knowing that development would require City of Las Vegas development
In addition, the applicant requests a Waiver (WVR-58614) to allow an intersection offset to be
less than the required 220 feet. Public Works staff supports this request, but has indicated that
future traffic increases may require mitigation measures. Staff supports this request. However,
since staff does not support two of the variance requests, we are recommending denial of all
associated applications.
The applicant is requesting deviations from the City of Las Vegas development standards to
develop a four-lot residential subdivision as evidences by the three Variances and one Waiver
request. Several of these requests are not supported by staff and could create issues that the City
would have to address in the future.
In conclusion, a four-lot single-family residential subdivision is an appropriate use for the parcel
when developed to City of Las Vegas development standards. However, the applicant has
requested several deviations from the Citys codes and as a result, staff recommends denial of all
applications as submitted for the project.

resolution.
Evidence of a unique or extraordinary circumstance has been presented, in that the applicant has
not created a self-imposed hardship by requesting to install an eight-foot tall retaining wall. Do
to the natural grade and contour of the land there are no alternatives that would allow for
conformance to the Title 19 requirements. As a result of this hardship imposed by the sites
physical characteristics, it is concluded that the applicants hardship is not preferential in nature,
and it is thereby within the realm of NRS Chapter 278 for granting of Variances.

FINDINGS (WVR-58614)
Public Works has no immediate concerns with the requested Waiver of intersection offset
distance; however it is possible that traffic patterns in the future might require the limitation of
vehicular movements at the subject intersection to ensure safe operation.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting a Variance to allow a proposed roof sign (Sign Type A) to project
seven feet from the building where four feet is allowed at a commercial development under
construction at 725 South Las Vegas Boulevard. The proposed sign would not encroach into the
public right-of-way. The applicant wishes to make the sign visible to traffic on Las Vegas
Boulevard; however, there is not an extraordinary circumstance related to the property itself that
warrants additional projection in doing so. Therefore, staff recommends denial, with conditions
if approved. If this request is denied, a permit for the sign could not be issued for the proposed
location.
ISSUES
The Downtown Design Review Committee denied the design review of the proposed roof
sign. The applicant is expected to appeal this decision to the City Council.
The Downtown Design Review Committee approved a Sign Design Review
(ARC-48760) for an existing Pawn Shop with a waiver to allow 50 percent
animation with no neon where 75 percent neon illumination and/or animation
04/16/13
is required at 709 and 713 South Las Vegas Boulevard. Staff recommended
denial. A condition of approval required chasing lights to be added around
the entire perimeter of the proposed sign.
The City Council approved a Variance (VAR-48762) to allow a proposed
projecting sign on the same property as an existing freestanding sign where
06/09/13
such is not allowed on 0.16 acres at 713 South Las Vegas Boulevard. The
Planning Commission recommended approval; staff recommended denial.
A Final Map (FMP-56613) was recorded to revert to raw acreage 10 lots on
01/06/15
0.78 acres located on the east side of Las Vegas Boulevard, approximately 50
feet north of Gass Avenue.
The Downtown Design Review Committee denied a Sign Design Review
04/21/15
(ARC-58559) for a commercial development at 709-731 South Las Vegas
Boulevard, including the proposed roof sign.

02/09/05
A building permit (#93181826) was issued for a vinyl changeout of an
04/02/93
existing wall sign at 713 South Las Vegas Boulevard. A final inspection has
not been completed.
A building permit (#99008631) was issued for eight existing cabinet wall
05/05/99
signs at 713 South Las Vegas Boulevard. A final inspection was approved
05/13/99.
A building permit (#00010182) was issued for a wall sign at 713 South Las
05/25/00
Vegas Boulevard. A final inspection was approved 06/28/00.
A building permit (#02006348) was issued for an 84.5 square-foot wall sign
04/10/02
at 713 South Las Vegas Boulevard. A final inspection has not been
completed.
A building permit (230590) was issued for a projecting sign at 713 South Las
07/01/13
Vegas Boulevard. A final inspection was approved 08/02/13.
A building permit (273378) was issued for an 11,010 square-foot office and
02/12/15
retail building at 725 South Las Vegas Boulevard. A final inspection has not
been completed.
Staff and the applicants representative discussed requirements for submittal
of a signage design review application for the Downtown Design Review
Committee. The attendees were informed that the proposed sign did not meet
the zoning code requirements for projecting signs and that the proposed
01/20/15
illumination and animation did not meet minimum Scenic Byway standards.
Therefore, a variance and waiver would need to be requested, and both would
require separate public hearings. The applicant later reworked the request to
change the projecting sign to a roof sign; however, a variance would still be
required for the amount of projection from the roof.
Field Check
04/02/15
A new multi-story building is under construction on the south end of the

parcel. The only existing signage is located on a freestanding sign, projecting
sign and wall signs for the pawn shop to the north of this new building.

ANALYSIS
Signage within the Downtown South District of the Downtown Centennial Plan Overlay District is
subject to Title 19.08.120 standards for zoning and design. Illumination of each regulated sign is
subject to the requirements of 19.10.160 for the Las Vegas Boulevard Scenic Byway Overlay
District; a sign design review is also required. Although it did not take issue with the design of the
proposed roof sign, on April 21, 2015 the Downtown Design Review Committee denied the
accompanying Master Sign Plan design review (ARC-58559), as the other signs were not in
conformance with the requirements and the spirit of the Las Vegas Boulevard Scenic Byway
Overlay.
As lots comprising the subject site were recently combined, the applicant elected to make Sign Type
A a roof sign rather than a projecting sign, which would have required a variance. However, a
Variance is now required to allow the proposed roof sign to project more than four feet from the
roof, even though it would not encroach into the public right-of-way. As there is no extraordinary
characteristic of the property that requires the sign to project more than four feet from the building,
staff does not support this Variance.

resolution.
has created a self-imposed hardship by proposing a sign that is set back from the street such that
it is proposed to project further from the building than allowed by Title 19. Redesigning the sign
to reduce the length of projection by three feet 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.

ANALYSIS
The subject site is located in a C-2 (General Commercial) zoning district, which allows for retail
and commercial uses of an intense character. The applicant has proposed to develop the site with
a Motor Vehicle Sales (Used) use totaling 382 square feet on 0.42 acres at 2600 Fremont Street.
A Motor Vehicle Sales (Used) use is described in Title 19.12 as: A facility or area, other than an
auto sales showroom, used primarily for the display and sale or leasing of used automobiles,
motorcycles and motor scooters, but excluding mopeds. This use includes service bays and auto
body shops which are incidental and accessory to the sales use. This use is permitted in the C-2
(General Commercial) zoning district with an approved Special Use Permit.
1. The minimum site area designated for this use shall be 25,000 square feet.
JB
SUP-58539 and SDR-58540 [PRJ-57899]

The subject site is 0.42 net acres, which is approximately 18,295 square feet in size. The
applicant has requested a Waiver from Title 19.12 to allow 18,295 square feet of area dedicated
to the use where 25,000 square feet is the minimum required.
2. The installation and use of an outside public address or bell system is prohibited.
The applicant has indicated that no public address or bell system will be used with the proposed
development.
3. All exterior lighting shall be screened or otherwise designed so as not to shine directly onto
any adjacent parcel of land.
The applicant has indicated that all exterior lighting shall be screened or otherwise designed so
as not to shine directly onto any adjacent parcel of land.
4. Accessory automobile rental is permitted.
The applicant has acknowledged that accessory automobile rental is permitted; however no
accessory automobile rental has been proposed at this time.
The proposed site design complies with all applicable Title19.08.080 site design requirements
pertaining to building setbacks, which requires a 10-foot distance separation from the front, side
and corner property lines and a 20-foot distance separation from the rear property line. The
proposed building will cover approximately 2% of the 0.42 acres site, which is below the 50%
lot coverage maximum allowed by code. The proposed building is 11 feet in height measured to
the top of the parapet. The submitted building elevations indicate the building faades will have
light beige Cashew Nut stucco finish, with a foam cornice accent around the roof line of the
proposed structure.
The site will provide 20 total parking spaces with one handicapped parking space, which exceeds
the two parking space required by Title 19.12.010 for a Motor Vehicle Sales (Used) use land use.
The subject site is an irregularly shaped tri-angular lot. All landscape buffer planting materials
have been designed to comply with code requirements for spacing and quantities. The primary
tree species being utilized are the 24 36 box Chitalpa, 24 box African Sumac and 24 box
Thornless Chilean Mesquite trees. However, the applicant has requested Waivers from Title
19.08.080 to allow a ten-foot wide landscape buffer along a portion of the east property line with
the exception of one spot which is seven-feet wide and a five-foot wide landscape buffer along a
portion of the west property line where 15 feet is required adjacent to right-of-way.
This project is a Project of Regional Significance because subject site requires a Special Use
Permit is located within 500 feet of the Citys boundary with Clark County. This project was
JB
SUP-58539 and SDR-58540 [PRJ-57899]

routed to outside agencies for comments. The Las Vegas Valley Water District (LVVWD)
responded with the following comment, This parcel is currently served by LVVWD but does
not have the required backflow prevention per NAC 445A.67195. Civil and plumbing plans will
need to be submitted to LVVWD for meter sizing, available fire flow, and installation of
required backflow prevention.
Staff has determined the proposed site is an irregularly shaped tri-angular lot and that the
associated Waivers of Title 19.12 lot size to allow 18,295 square feet of area dedicated to the use
where 25,000 square feet is the minimum required and Title 19.08 landscape buffer standards
will have minimal negative impact to the surrounding area. The proposed use and design of this
proposal will be harmonious with the surrounding land uses. Staff recommends approval of the
requested Special Use Permit and Site Development Plan Review for a Motor Vehicle Sales
(Used) use.
1.
The proposed Motor Vehicle Sales (Used) can be conducted in a manner that is
harmonious and compatible with the surrounding commercial land uses, and with the
future surrounding land uses.
2.
The subject site is an irregularly shaped tri-angular lot and is 0.42 net acres, which is

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Currently, the subject site consists of three vacant single-story buildings and seven undeveloped
pad sites at 4624-4660 North Rancho Drive. Originally in 2006, the City Council approved a Site
Development Plan Review (SDR-16503) for a ten-building office complex totaling 74,902
square feet. The three existing buildings totaling 25,506 square feet were constructed but later
abandoned, leaving the subject site in its current state. The applicant is proposing to locate a
Public School, Primary use within the three existing vacant buildings. In addition to occupying
the three vacant buildings, the applicant is proposing to a major amendment to the previously
approved Site Development Plan Review (SDR-16503) by eliminating the undeveloped seven
office buildings totaling 49,396 square feet and constructing nine temporary, detached modular
buildings totaling 14,816 square feet. The combination of existing buildings and proposed
modular buildings will total 40,322 square feet and house 36 classrooms. This proposal to locate
a Public School, Primary use within the three existing buildings and nine modular buildings
eliminates the previously approved office complex at the subject site. The applicant is not
proposing any changes to the previously approved landscape plan. The future development of the
seven undeveloped pad sites shall require future Site Development Plan Reviews. The proposed
school is appropriately located and the modular buildings are in compliance with Title 19
Development Standards; therefore, staff recommends approval of both requests, with conditions.
If the Special Use Permit is denied, the Public School, Primary use could not locate at the subject
site. If the Site Development Plan Review is denied, the nine modular buildings could not be
constructed.
ISSUES
A Public School, Primary use is permissible in the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zone with
approval of a Special Use Permit.
This Site Development Plan Review eliminates the previously approved office complex.
Specifically, the proposed Public School, Primary use would locate within buildings one,
four and ten, while buildings two, three, five, six, seven, eight and nine are proposed to
be eliminated from the previously approved entitlements. All future development of the
remaining seven undeveloped pad sites shall require additional Site Development Plan
Reviews.
The approval for the temporary modular buildings shall be valid for a period of 24
months from the date of final approval. A condition of approval has been added requiring
an administrative review, at which time staff may require removal of the modular
buildings.

ANALYSIS
In 2006, the City Council approved a Site Development Plan Review (SDR-16503) for a 10building office complex. Subsequent building permits were issued in 2007 for all ten buildings,
however only buildings 1, 4, and 10 were constructed. The permits for the seven remaining
buildings expired in 2009 due to inactivity. In addition, final inspections were never conducted
on the three constructed buildings, also resulting in permit expiration. The site has remained in
its current abandoned state since 2009. There have been numerous code enforcement cases on
the property for graffiti, trash, and overall blight.
The applicant is proposing to locate a Public School, Primary use within the three existing vacant
buildings, which total 25,506 square feet. According to the submitted floor plans, date stamped
04/08/15, buildings four and ten would be utilized for 20 classrooms, while building one would
house administrative office space, two multi-purpose rooms and a cafeteria. In total, the three
existing buildings would provide 20 classrooms.
In addition to utilizing the three existing buildings, the applicant is proposing to amend the
previously approved Site Development Plan Review (SDR-16503) by eliminating the seven
undeveloped office buildings, totaling 49,396 square feet and constructing nine temporary,
detached modular buildings totaling 14,816 square feet. According to the submitted site plan,
date stamped 04/15/15, the applicant would eliminate buildings two, three, five, six, seven, eight
and nine from the previously approved entitlements and construct one 480 square-foot modular
building to be utilized as a restroom and eight 1,792 square-foot modular buildings to house
additional classrooms. The eight 1,792 square-foot modular buildings would accommodate two
classrooms each for a total of 16 classrooms. The combination of the three existing buildings and
the proposed modular buildings would house 36 classrooms, a cafeteria, restrooms, and
administrative office space. According to the applicants justification letter, date stamped
04/15/15, the modular buildings are temporary and the applicant anticipates utilizing the modular
buildings for a period not to exceed one year. A condition of approval has been added limiting
the modular buildings to a period not to exceed 24 months. A second condition of approval was
GK
SUP-58561 and SDR-58562 (PRJ-58523)

added requiring an administrative review to occur two years from final approval, at which time
staff may require removal of the modular buildings. This proposal to locate a Public School,
Primary use within the three existing buildings and nine modular buildings eliminates the
previously approved office complex at the subject site. The future development of the seven
undeveloped pad sites shall require future Site Development Plan Reviews.
The applicant is not proposing any changes to the previously approved perimeter landscaping.
The perimeter landscape buffer widths and landscape buffer materials, including trees, shrubs
and ground cover shall remain as previously approved. The submitted site plan reflects the
perimeter landscaping as previously approved but fails to provide a landscape legend. A
condition of approval has been added requiring compliance with the previously approved
landscape plan date stamped 10/31/07.
As proposed, the three existing buildings and nine proposed modular buildings conform to the
development standards for the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district. The proposal does not
require any Variances, Waivers or Exceptions and has been designed to adhere to all
requirements as outlined by Title 19 regarding height, setbacks, lot coverage, landscaping and
parking.
The elevations of the existing three buildings remain unchanged and indicate single-story
buildings consisting primarily of earth-tone colors with slate veneer applied as wainscot at each
building entrance. Details are carried to all sides of the building. Windows are provided at
regular intervals. The building contains sufficient relief and variation, and the roofline is broken
up by a slightly taller central element. The proposed modular buildings are flat and plain in
appearance. According to the elevation drawings, date stamped 04/08/15, each modular building
would be 14 feet in height and painted white with a green trim. However, visibility of the flat,
plain, modular buildings would be limited as each of the nine temporary buildings would locate
within the interior of the site.
According to Title 19.12, the Public School, Primary use parking requirement is calculated based
on the total number of classrooms. The applicant is providing 36 classrooms and is required to
provide 108 parking spaces. According to the site plan, the applicant is providing 114 parking
spaces. Access to the site will be from Rancho Drive and Torrey Pines Drive.
A Public School, Primary use is permissible in the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district
with approval of a Special Use Permit. According to Title 19.12, a Public or Private School,
Primary use is defined as An institution that provides kindergarten through eighth grade
education and is supported by a public, religious or private organization.
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements are as follows:
1. Adequate pick-up and drop-off areas must be provided on-site.
GK
SUP-58561 and SDR-58562 (PRJ-58523)

The proposed use meets this requirement, as an adequate onsite pick up and drop off area has
been established. The school will utilize the driveway off of Torrey Pines as the main entrance.
Vehicles would utilize a 24-foot wide lane that navigates vehicles west to the pickup and drop off
areas located adjacent to each building. Vehicles would then exit from the driveway off of
Rancho Drive.
The Department of Planning routed this request for a Special Use Permit and Site Development
Plan Review to outside agencies for review. The Las Vegas Valley Water District responded
with the following comment. 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.
The school would locate near existing residential developments to the east of the subject site.
Although the subject site is located in a primarily commercial area, the site is an ideal location to
serve the existing residential neighborhoods to the east. The proposed school is appropriately
located and the modular buildings are in compliance with Title 19 Development Standards;
therefore, staff recommends approval of both requests, with conditions
1.
The proposed public charter school is appropriate in proximity to existing single-family
residential uses to the east, with existing commercial offices to the north, south and west.
The use can be compatible with the office and retail uses, as well as complement the
residential uses to the east.
2.
Containing 6.42 acres, the site is large enough to accommodate the school buildings,
3.
The site would be served by Rancho Drive, a 125-foot wide Expressway and a Torrey
Pines Drive, an 80-foot wide Major Collector as depicted by the Master Plan of Streets and
Highways. Both roadways will be adequate to meet the needs of the proposed use.
GK
SUP-58561 and SDR-58562 (PRJ-58523)

4.
General Plan.
5.
The proposed Public School, Primary use meets the only special use permit requirement
outlined by Title 19.12, which requires an adequate pick-up and drop-off area.
1.

The proposed primary school is located near major streets and within proximity of several
residential areas, making it an appropriate location. The existing zoning of the property
allows this use, the development of which is compatible with the existing office and retail
uses to the north, south and west, and single-family residences to the east. The proposed
temporary modular buildings will be located on the interior of the site. The structure and
its accompanying infrastructure will have no measurable impact to the surrounding
properties.
2.
The proposed school development is consistent with Title 19 standards for C-1 (Limited
Commercial) zoned properties.
3.

Access to the site will be attained via Rancho Drive, a 125-foot wide Expressway and
Torrey Pines Drive, an 80-foot wide Major Collector street, as designated by the Master
Plan of Streets and Highways, which will not be negatively affected by this development.

The building materials for the three existing buildings remain unchanged from the original
Site Development Plan Review (16503) and indicate single-story buildings consisting
primarily of earth-tone colors with slate veneer applied as wainscot at each building
entrance. The landscape materials also remain unchanged from the original approval. The
proposed modular buildings are flat and plain in appearance but are proposed on a
temporary basis. The proposed amended development will benefit the area by developing
an infill site currently in an abandoned state.
5.

The three existing building elevations show an aesthetically pleasing building with
variations in exterior color, materials, rooflines and wall planes. The design characteristics
are compatible with other existing buildings in the area. The proposed modular buildings
are flat and plain in appearance. However, the modular buildings would locate within the
interior of the site.

The proposed development will not impact public health, safety or general welfare as the
development will be subject to the International Building Code and City inspections during
construction.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request to amend LVMC 19.12.070 and 19.18.020 regarding Package Liquor Off-Sale
and Retail Establishment with Accessory Package Liquor Off-Sale uses by revising descriptions,
requirements and definitions as needed to modify distance separations and capacity of the
establishments and to provide for other related matters.
Since early 2011 the Department of Planning has been actively working to clarify alcohol related
uses and license categories detailed in Titles 6 (Business Taxes, Licenses and Regulations) and
19 (Unified Development Code). As part of these on-going efforts, additional proposed changes
are being prepared for Planning Commission and City Council (Title 19) review and
consideration.
ANALYSIS
Over a five year period (2010-2014), the yearly issuance of liquor licenses in Las Vegas had
remained fairly static. For example, 845 liquor related licenses were issued in 2010, 833 in 2011,
855 in 2012, 867 in 2013, and 1047 in 2014. While the issuance of overall liquor licenses
remained static, the city of Las Vegas had reported a steady increase in the number of Package
liquor licenses, commonly referred as liquor stores. In areas outside of downtown Las Vegas,
there has been a 16.67% increase in the issuance of package liquor licenses. In comparison,
downtown Las Vegas, or the area within the borders of the Downtown Centennial Plan, has
reported an increase of 30.77%, of which a majority of that increase has occurred within the last
two years. The impacts of these additional package liquor licenses in the downtown area requires
attention to address a growing concern for tourists, residents and community standards in
regulating alcohol in the downtown area.
Currently, Title 19.12 contains two land uses related to the package liquor license. The two uses
are Package Liquor Off-Sale and Retail Establishment with Accessory Package Liquor Off-Sale.
Title 19.12 enforces minimum distance separation requirements on each use of 400 feet from city
parks, schools, house of worships and individual care centers licensed for more than 12 children.
This amendment proposes to modify the minimum special use permit requirements to the two
uses and require additional distance separation requirements of 1,000 feet from like for like uses,
sexually oriented businesses and tavern uses. The additional distance separation requirements
would comply with similar restrictions enforced within the Las Vegas Valley, as shown in the
table below.

In addition, this amendment proposes to modify the description of the Retail Establishment with
Accessory Package Liquor Off-Sale use to indicate that the use can only locate within grocery stores
and drugstores. The amendment also creates a definition for drugstore. The proposed amendments
represent an effort to reduce impact concerns caused by concentrating alcohol related uses, thereby
protecting the wellbeing of tourists, residents, businesses and the overall Las Vegas community
FINDINGS
The proposed text amendment will achieve the following:
Limit the Retail Establishment with Accessory Package Liquor Off-Sale use to locate
within grocery stores and drugstores only.
Add a 1,000-foot distance separation requirement for the Package Liquor Off-Sale use
from other Package Liquor Off-Sale, Liquor Establishment (Tavern) and Sexually
Oriented Business uses.
Add a 1,000-foot distance separation requirement for the Retail Establishment with
Accessory Package Liquor Off-Sale use from other Retail Establishment with Accessory
Package Liquor Off-Sale, Liquor Establishment (Tavern) and Sexually Oriented Business
uses.
Establish a definition for Drugstore.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request to amend LVMC 19.16.160(C)(5) regarding Temporary Commercial Permit by
revising Permitted Uses as needed to modify the requirements for temporary events related to the
sale of new and used automobiles.
ANALYSIS
The proposed amendment will amend the minimum requirements listed in LVMC 19.16.160(C)(5)
regarding the sale of automobiles, trucks and boats associated with a Temporary Commercial
Permit. This amendment will revise the minimum requirements to allow the sale of new and used
vehicles in established Shopping Center uses and reduce the required minimum size from 90 acres
to 20 aggregate acres; which will allow Shopping Centers uses which are not mapped as a
commercial subdivision to be eligible. Title 19.12, indicates that the Shopping Center use is
permitted in C-1 (Limited Commercial), C-2 (General Commercial), C-M (Commercial/Industrial)
and M (Industrial) zoning districts only.
Previously, the Meadows Shopping Mall was the only site within the Citys jurisdiction which met
the minimum zoning and 90 acre size criteria for holding a temporary auto sales event. Staff has
determined that under the new criteria an additional 21 sites within the Citys jurisdiction will meet
the criteria for holding a temporary auto sales event. All requirements pertaining to the occurrence
and duration of proposed auto sales related Temporary Commercial Events will remain unchanged.
