** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
ISSUES
ANALYSIS
The Extension of Time application provides a mechanism for extending the approval
period of a use with time limitations imposed by the Planning Commission or City
Council.
The Site Development Plan Review (SDR-52726) was approved by the Planning
Commission on March 11, 2014 with a three year time limit. Pursuant to the Downtown
Centennial Plan Section VII (F)(3)(g), any request to extend this time period shall be by
means of an Extension of Time and shall be subject to review and approval by the City
Council.
This is the first request for an Extension of Time for SDR-52726, which entitled the
existing temporary parking lot. The applicant requests that this site continue to be used
as a temporary parking lot for another three year period.
FINDINGS (EOT-69458)
Approval of this request will allow the applicant to continue utilizing this site on an interim
basis until redevelopment occurs. While the subject site and surrounding parcels remain
unchanged since the original approval there are a number of proposed and approved
projects in the surrounding area; therefore, staff recommends approval of this extension of
time for a two year period to end March 11, 2019 unless another extension of time is
granted.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant owns a vacant residential lot addressed as 6820 Velvet Snow Street, for
which they obtained a setback variance that is about to expire. They are seeking to
extend the variance for future development on the lot.
ISSUES
ANALYSIS
The subject site, addressed as 6820 Velvet Snow Street, is a vacant, platted lot within
the Grand Canyon/Deer Springs subdivision. It is zoned R-D (Single Family
Residential-Restricted) and guided by the comprehensive plan for RNP (Rural
Neighborhood Preservation) development.
The R-D (Single Family Residential-Restricted) zoning district has a front setback
requirement of 25 feet, where the approved Variance (VAR-58475) allowed a 16-foot
front setback. The lot is irregularly shaped and on the outside bulb of a street
intersection. As such the Planning Commission approved the Variance (VAR-58475) on
05/12/15 with an expiration date of 5/12/17.
The applicant has requested an Extension of Time (EOT-69503) and staff recommends
approval of this request as the findings made by the Planning Commission continue to
apply.
FINDINGS (EOT-69503)
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:
PB
EOT-69503
Staff Report Page Two
May 9, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The Planning Commission originally approved a Variance (VAR-58475) for the property
on 05/12/15, finding that the irregular shape of the lot and its location on the outside
bulb of a street intersection presented a hardship to the development of this property.
The findings made at that time continue to apply to the property.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a Tentative Map for a proposed one-lot commercial subdivision on
a developed property located at 700 and 720 North Main Street.
ISSUES
Existing buildings and use.
The subject property is parking-impaired development.
The building setback is legal non-conforming.
TMP-38862 expired without recording a final map within the period of time
allowed by the tentative map.
ANALYSIS
The subject site consists of two parcels with a combined acreage of 1.10 acres. The
applicant proposes a one-lot commercial subdivision to combine the two parcels into
one lot. The subject site has been developed with a 50-unit Single Room Occupancy
Residence use and a 1,932 square-foot Restaurant with a non-conforming
Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment use and an 864 square-foot utility room. The
site is parking impaired, pursuant to Title 19.18.030(D).
The subject site is accessed from Main Street, an 80-foot wide right-of-way. Per the
Master Plan of Streets and Highways, it is designated as a 100-foot Primary Arterial.
Department of Public Works condition requires dedication of half street right-of-way.
The subject property is located within the Airport Overlay District and the tentative map
request will not affect the said overlay district.

FINDINGS (TMP-69650)
There is no application for a Site Development Plan Review associated with development
on the site and no special conditions of approval for the site. The purpose of the Tentative
Map request is to create a one-lot commercial subdivision through the recordation of a
subsequent final map. No fence/walls are proposed at this time and the existing
fence/walls comply with Title 19. There are no Trail alignments within or adjacent to the
subject site. This tentative map request conforms to Title 19 requirements; therefore, staff
recommends approval of this request with conditions. If denied, the proposed subdivision
of land will not be eligible for the final map technical review process.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
ISSUES
ANALYSIS
The size and scope of this infill redevelopment is smaller than previous proposals. This
proposal eliminates any previously proposed improvements to the Mob Museum site.
The two Site Development Plan Review approvals that preceded this request (SDR-
48856 and SDR-54002) have both expired; therefore, all new conditions of approval will
be applied to this action.

SDR-68470 [PRJ-68139]

May 9, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The subject site is located within the Downtown Gateway sub-district of the Downtown
Centennial Plan Overlay District. Pursuant to Title 19.10.110, the standard parking,
landscaping, building height, lot coverage and setback requirements are not
automatically applied. Additional standards specific to the Downtown Gateway District
are required, including those for setbacks, streetscape, utilities, parking structures and
signage. The project is categorized under New Development in the Development
Thresholds chapter of the Downtown Centennial Plan, which requires a Site
Development Plan Review.
The Cultural Corridor Trail is designated by the Downtown Centennial Plan adjacent to
this site along Stewart Avenue and Casino Center Boulevard. Conformance to the
Downtown Gateway streetscape requirements will satisfy the requirements for the trail.
The proposed development is subject to and meets the requirements of the Airport
Overlay District.
The submitted plans indicate areas for future signage, which is not part of this review.
All proposed signage will require review and approval by the Downtown Design Review
Committee prior to the issuance of permits for signage. Any proposed signage
determined not to be in conformance with Title 19.08 standards will also require a
Variance and a public hearing. Off-premise signage, if proposed, will require a Special
Use Permit, subject to conformance with distance separation requirements.
The site plan depicts an orderly layout of buildings and surface parking. The two
buildings are situated at the two corners and oriented to the interior so that they face the
existing Mob Museum site. However, plaza areas with storefronts have been
incorporated at the corners to activate the street frontages. Together, the design
satisfies the land use urban form, pedestrian environment and Downtown character
design goals of the Downtown Centennial Plan. Sufficient surface parking is provided at
the rear of the property, which contains adequate landscaping to provide shade and to
separate large areas of asphalt. A low 30-inch wall with similar materials as the
buildings is provided along the parking lot facing Casino Center Boulevard in
conformance with Downtown Centennial Plan requirements. Service areas are not
explicitly shown on the site plan, but need to be provided to ensure that service
activities occur onsite and away from street frontages. A condition of approval
addresses this. In addition, site utilities must be located underground or away from the
street frontages within the building footprints to eliminate clutter and hazards.
Each building is designed as a one-story, 26-foot tall structure with changes in rooflines,
materials and wall planes to provide visual interest. Canopies and glass storefronts are
incorporated into the entryways to provide a pedestrian scale to the project. A brick
veneer covering portions of each elevation provides continuity of design between
buildings and is compatible with the brick incorporated into the adjacent historic Mob
Museum building, which they face.

The two parcels that make up this site will be required to be combined in order to allow
site utilities across the entire site. An access easement in favor of the Mob Museum
site will be required as part of this mapping action to accommodate the existing
perimeter parking along the southern edge of the site. A condition of approval will
require a separate mapping action prior to the issuance of building permits.
FINDINGS (SDR-68470)
In order to approve a Site Development Plan Review application, per Title 19.16.100(E)
the Planning Commission and/or City Council must affirm the following:
The commercial uses proposed on this site are appropriate for the area, which
includes primarily large hotels, general retail storefront development and offices.
2. The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan, this Title,
the Design Standards Manual, the Landscape, Wall and Buffer Standards,
and other duly-adopted city plans, policies and standards;
SS
SDR-68470 [PRJ-68139]

towards restaurants, retail shops and service businesses intended to serve local
residents as well as the tourist market. Commercial uses are designated for this
site by the General Plan.
Access to the site would be from Stewart Avenue and 4th Street. Circulation is
two-way except for the 4th Street entrance. Vehicles may exit onto Casino Center
Boulevard or Stewart Avenue. The proposed layout restricts traffic movements to
the perimeter of the site and minimizes conflicts both within the site and with traffic
on the adjacent streets.
4. Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the
City;
The proposed stucco and brick veneer exteriors, metal canopies, and glass and
aluminum storefronts are similar to those used in other more modern Downtown
buildings and are appropriate for this project. The design and color of the brick
facades will match that of the adjacent Mob Museum for compatibility. Landscape
materials conform to the preferred plant list of the Downtown Centennial Plan.
6. Appropriate measures are taken to secure and protect the public health,
safety and general welfare.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a Special Use Permit to permit an Assisted Living Apartments use
at 100 South 14th Street.
ISSUES
ANALYSIS
The proposed Assisted Living Apartments Use is located within the Downtown
Redevelopment Plan Area. The use adheres to the objective of eliminating and
preventing the spread of blight within the Redevelopment area. The subject property is
surrounded by motel and multi-family residential uses to the north and east, while
properties to the south and west are vacant. The applicant proposes to operate an 88-
unit Assisted Living Apartments use within the existing facility. This facility has
previously been in use for similar uses. The submitted floor plan shows that the second
and third floors of the facility will be used for living quarters. The first floor will have
office space, a kitchen, recreational rooms and a dining area. The submitted site plan
shows a total of 16 parking spaces of which two are handicapped accessible. While the
site is deficient by 14 parking spaces in order to meet the minimum Title 19
requirements, projects located within the Las Vegas Downtown Centennial Plan area
are not subject to the automatic application of parking requirements. There are no
proposed landscape changes.
The Assisted Living Apartments use is defined as, An apartment or apartment complex
which provides personal care services to senior citizens for daily living needs. Such
services may include, but are not limited to, preparation and service of meals,
housekeeping, laundry, monitoring of rooms, monitoring of medication, or assistance
with bathing. This use includes commercial uses that are ancillary to an apartment
complex as long as the total amount of floor space dedicated to such uses does not
exceed five percent of the total gross floor area of the apartment complex and there is
no external signage for, nor external access to, the commercial uses. This use does not
include a convalescent care facility, nursing home or other medical facility that is
specifically defined in LVMC Chapter 19.18.

SUP-69613 [PRJ-69598]
Staff Report Page Two
May 9, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The proposed use meets the definition, as the applicant proposes to operate an
Assisted Living Apartment facility that will serve the needs of local veterans. Some of
the ancillary services that will be offered include housekeeping, transportation services
and medication management. There are no Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements
for this use. The Las Vegas Valley Water District submitted the following comment
regarding this project, This parcel is currently served but the domestic meter is likely
undersized for this use. Civil and plumbing plans will need to be submitted to LVVWD
for domestic meter sizing and fire flow availability. The SNWA Regional Connection
Fees will be assessed on a per unit basis and are due prior to water commitment and
building permit sign-off.
The City of Las Vegas Redevelopment Agency Board voted on January 6, 2016 in favor
a Visual Improvement Program grant in support of the completion of major renovation
work at the subject site. The Board cited this property as a potential catalyst to improve
neighboring properties within the area. Staff recommends approval of the proposed
development, as the Assisted Living Apartments use will have no detrimental effect on
the surrounding neighborhood.
FINDINGS (SUP-69613)
In order to approve a Special Use Permit application, per Title 19.16.110(L) the Planning
Commission and City Council must affirm the following:
The proposed use will be an asset to the subject community and can be
conducted in a manner that is harmonious with the existing surrounding land uses.
2. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use
proposed.
The subject site is physically suitable for the proposed Assisted Living Facility and
has had similar uses in the past.
The subject site can be accessed from 14th Street, a 65-foot public right-of-way.
The street is adequate in size to meet the requirements 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 proposed use is subject to building permit and licensing review and
inspection; therefore, appropriate measures will be taken to protect the health,
safety, and general welfare.
5. The use meets all of the applicable conditions per Title 19.12.
There are no Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for the Assisted Living
Apartments use.

A Restaurant with Alcohol use is permitted in the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning
district with the approval of a Special Use Permit.
There are no protected land uses within 400 feet of the subject site.
ANALYSIS
The applicant is requesting a Special Use Permit for a proposed Restaurant with
Alcohol use. The subject property is the Rampart Commons shopping center which is
currently zone C-1 (Limited Commercial) and is located within the Peccole Ranch
Master Plan. The portion of the building for the proposed use is a 5,518 square-foot
restaurant with 1,679 square feet of outdoor seating area, which was used previously as
a General Retail Store.
A Restaurant with Alcohol use is permitted in the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning
district with the approval of a Special Use Permit. Additionally, the following analysis is
required:
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

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
The proposed use meets the definition as stated in the applicants justification
letter date stamped 04/12/17, in which the restaurant will provide a full bar that
will include the sale of beer, wine and spirits in conjunction with the operation of a
full-service restaurant. The restaurant will include 159 interior seats and 88 patio
seats for a total of 247 seats.
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include:
1. No restaurant with alcohol use shall be located within 400 feet of any
church/house of worship, school, individual care center licensed for more than 12
children, or City park.
The proposed use meets this requirement as there are no protected uses within

without regard to intervening obstacles; or
This requirement is not applicable; the subject site is not located on a parcel of at
least 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.
A waiver is not required for this application since there are no protected uses
within 400 feet of the subject property; therefore, this requirement is not
applicable to the proposed Restaurant with Alcohol use.
This requirement is not applicable to the proposed Restaurant with Alcohol use
as the property is an existing shopping center and is not a hotel use with 200
guest rooms with a non-restricted gaming establishment.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Due to the Project Neon construction project, the applicant is relocating their restaurant
to 2800 West Sahara Avenue Suite 5A, within an existing shopping center. This request
will permit the service of alcohol at the new location.
ISSUES
A Special Use Permit is required for a Restaurant with Alcohol use in a C-1 (Limited
Commercial) district. Staff supports this request.
There are no protected land uses within 400 feet of the subject site.
ANALYSIS
The applicant is proposing to establish a Restaurant with Alcohol use within an existing
shopping center. The subject site is located within the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning
district. The submitted plans indicate the proposed establishment will occupy a 5,974
square-foot suite with a 1,174 square-foot outdoor patio with approximately 225 seats
for dining.
The subject site is located in an existing 67,294 square-foot shopping center. The
existing commercial subdivision provides shared access and parking throughout the
subject site. The proposal adheres to all minimum parking requirements.
A Restaurant with Alcohol use is described in Tile 19.12 as: A restaurant and bar
operation with alcoholic beverage sales in which:
1. The actual seating available at all times within the dining area will
accommodate at least 100 persons. For purposes of this requirement, the
dining area does not include bar stool seating at the bar or lounge seating,

This condition is not applicable. The subject site is located with an existing
shopping center with 67,294 square feet of retail floor space, which is not located
within 400 feet of any protected land uses. In addition, 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.
This condition is not applicable; the proposed use is not located in a C-V (Civic)
zoning district.
* 7. All businesses which sell alcoholic beverages shall conform to the provisions
of LVMC Chapter 6.50.
Staff has determined that since there are no protected land uses within 400 feet of the
subject property, that the proposed Restaurant with Alcohol use can be conducted in a
manner that is compatible with the surrounding land uses. Therefore, staff is
recommending approval, as the use is appropriate for the surrounding area. Staff has
added a condition of approval requiring the business conform to all provisions of LVMC
Chapter 6.50 with regards to running a restaurant with alcohol license.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant wishes to construct a 70-foot tall, 1,496 square-foot freestanding sign on
property within an industrial warehouse complex with frontage along Interstate 15. The
sign contains 21 individual panels for tenants of the complex to display their names and
logos, as well as a 36-foot by 17-foot changeable LED electronic message unit display.
ISSUES
ANALYSIS
Pursuant to LVMC 19.08.120(F), a Master Sign Plan may be used to consolidate any
number of signs related to a parcel (minimum five acres) or group of parcels (as in this
case) that would normally be allowed along a given frontage (in this case the I-15
frontage) into one large sign. A consolidated sign may be constructed to a height of 80
feet if approved through a Master Sign Plan. The proposed sign is 70 feet in height.
The frontage along Interstate 15 adjacent to the Highland Park Industrial Subdivision is
approximately 1,285 feet. Per Title 19.08.120, one freestanding sign per 200 linear feet
of frontage (or six signs) is permitted. The collective area of these signs cannot exceed
two square feet per linear foot of frontage; in this case, up to 2,570 square feet of sign
area would be permitted. These signs may be consolidated into one large sign along
the I-15 frontage. However, Title 19.08.120 caps the maximum sign area for
consolidated signs at 1,500 square feet if approved by a Master Sign Plan. The
proposed sign is 1,496 square feet in area. The nearest residentially zoned parcel is
located 600 feet away on the west side of the I-15 freeway, and the proposed sign will
maintain a separation of 315 feet from the nearest freestanding sign (in this case, an
off-premise sign).
SS
MSP-69720 [PRJ-69550]
Staff Report Page Two
May 9, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
FINDINGS (MSP-69720)
Due to its location along freeway frontage away from residential uses and its proximity
to industrial uses, the consolidated freestanding sign is appropriate as proposed. The
proposed sign is within the parameters of a master sign plan, and no variances or
waivers are needed to allow the sign. Staff therefore recommends approval with
conditions.

for a Master Sign Plan for an industrial warehouse complex that will
allow a consolidated freestanding sign. The sign presented at the
03/16/17
meeting exceeded the sign area allowance pursuant to Title 19; the
applicants representative stated that he would confer with the
applicant as to the final sign height and area prior to submittal.

The portion of the site abutting Interstate 15 contains a parking lot with
two off-premise signs, one of which already contains a digital display.

bird droppings on the ground directly below the sign. A rectangular

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
ISSUES
The applicant has proposed to amend the General Plan land use designation of the
property from R (Rural Density Residential) to M (Medium Density Residential). Staff
does not support this request.
The applicant has proposed to rezone the property from U (Undeveloped) [R (Rural
Density Residential) to R-3 (Medium Density Residential). Staff does not support this
request.
The Multi-Family Residential use is permitted in the proposed R-3 (Medium Density
Residential) zoning district, but requires a Site Development Plan Review.
ANALYSIS
This is a request for a General Plan Amendment (GPA-68781) from R (Rural Density
Residential) to M (Medium Density Residential) and Rezoning (ZON-68782) from U
(Undeveloped) [R (Rural Density Residential) to R-3 (Medium Density Residential) on
approximately 2.49 acres located at 5097 Roberta Lane. The applicant has proposed to
develop the subject site into a two-story multi-family residential development containing
16 one-bedroom units and 24 two-bedroom units, which requires an associated Site
Development Plan Review (SDR-68784).
The subject site is located within Southwest Sector Plan area. The proposed M
(Medium Density Residential) general plan designation is compatible with the proposed
R-3 (Medium Density Residential) zoning district, which will allow the proposed multi-
family residential development as a permitted land use. However, the proposed
changes to the subject sites general plan and zoning designation will allow a dwelling
unit density of 25.49, which is incompatible with the existing rural density single-family
residences in the area.
The proposed building is 33 feet in height measured to the top of the flat roof line, and
will cover approximately 26% of the 2.49 acre site. The submitted building elevations
indicate the building faades will have a light brown and dark brown stucco finish, with
tile roofing, which is incorporated along all sides of the building.

The on-site parking areas are located along the eastern and southern perimeters of the
subject site. The site will provide 69 total parking spaces, including three handicapped
parking spaces, which complies with the 69 parking spaces required by Title 19.12.010
for a Multi-Family Residential development with 16 one-bedroom units and 24 two-
bedroom units. The submitted site plans indicates 20 of the 69 proposed parking spaces
(approximately 29%), will be designed as compact parking spaces. Per Title 19.08
minimum of seventy percent of the parking spaces shall be standard size and up to
thirty percent of the required on-site parking spaces may be designated as compact
parking spaces.
The trash enclosure is located in the southeastern corner of the site and is designed to
comply with Title 19.08 standards, which requires it to be screened, gated and covered.
The primary tree species being utilized are 24 box African Sumac, 24 box Desert
Willow, and Date Palm trees, which are consistent with the Southern Nevada Regional
Plan Coalition Regional Plant List. In addition, the applicant has proposed to install a
six-foot tall wrought iron wall/fence at the required 10-foot building setback on Roberta
Lane and 15 feet from Apricot Lane; with existing screen walls located on the southern
and eastern perimeter of the property.
FINDINGS (GPA-68781)
Section 19.16.030(I) of the Las Vegas Zoning Code requires that the following
conditions be met in order to justify a General Plan Amendment:

May 9, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The subject site is approximately 1,000 feet from Smoke Ranch Road and
Decatur Boulevard, which are both Primary Arterials and provide access to
transportation and recreational facilities to accommodate the proposed multi-
family use.
All applicable plans and policies are met with the proposed amendment.
FINDINGS (ZON-68782)
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 purpose of the R-3 District is to provide for the development of a variety of
multi-family units such as duplexes, townhouses and medium density
apartments. The applicant has proposed to develop the site with a 40-unit Multi-
Family Residential development, which is incompatible with the surrounding
rural density single-family residential development.
3. Growth and development factors in the community indicate the need for or
appropriateness of the rezoning.

LOCATION: 138-13-801-002
COMMENTS:
Federal Aviation Regulations (Title 14, Part 77) require that the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) be notified before the construction or alteration of any building or structure greater than
200 feet in height ( 77.13(a)(1)) or that will exceed a slope of 100:1 for a distance of 20,000
feet from the nearest point of any airport runway greater than 3,200 feet in length ( 77.13
(a)(2)(i)). Such notification allows the FAA to determine what impact, if any, the proposed
development will have upon navigable airspace, and allows the FAA to determine whether the
development requires obstruction marking or lighting.
The proposed development will exceed the 100:1 notice requirement for McCarran International
Airport (LAS). Therefore, as required by 14 CFR Part 77, the FAA must be notified of the
proposed construction or alteration. The CCDOA requests that the City of Las Vegas impose
the conditions listed below for the project:
Applicant is required to file a valid FAA Form 7460-1, "Notice of Proposed Construction
or Alteration" with the FAA, in accordance with 14 CFR Part 77, or submit to the Clark
County Director of Aviation a Property Owners Shielding Determination Statement
and request written concurrence from the Clark County Department of Aviation;
No Building Permit or other construction permit shall be issued for any structure greater
than 35 feet above the surface of land that, based upon the FAAs 7460 airspace
determination (the outcome of filing the FAA Form 7460-1), would (a) constitute a
hazard to air navigation, (b) would result in an increase to minimum flight altitudes
during any phase of flight (unless approved by the Department of Aviation), or (c) would
otherwise be determined to pose a significant adverse impact on airport or aircraft
operations.
Applicant is advised that FAAs airspace determinations are dependent on petitions by
any interested party and the height that will not present a hazard as determined by the
FAA may change based on these comments.
Applicant is advised that the FAAs airspace determinations include expiration dates and
that the separate airspace determinations will be needed for construction cranes or other
temporary equipment.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing to construct a 44-unit, three story apartment building at the
northwest corner of Charleston Boulevard and Shiloah Drive.
ISSUES
ANALYSIS
This subject site is made up of three parcels totaling approximately 0.89 acres located
on the northwest corner of Charleston Boulevard and Shiloah Drive. A condition of
approval requires the applicant to combine the parcels prior to the issuance of building
permits.
The subject site is located within Southeast Sector Plan area. The proposed H (High
Density Residential) general plan designation is compatible with the proposed R-3
(Medium Density Residential) zoning district, which will allow future use of the site as a
multi-family residential development as a permitted land use. The proposed changes to
the subject sites general plan and zoning designation, will not limit the density proposed
for the site in the future. If the zoning was changed but the general plan designation
was not, the density on the site would be limited to 22 units.

Staff Report Page Two
May 9, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The architectural plans submitted by the applicant on 03/28/17 depict a three story
apartment building with associated parking both surrounding the building and tucked
under the north and south segments of the building. The building conforms to the UDC
requirements for setbacks and height within the proposed R-3 (Medium Density
Residential) zoning district. Residential adjacency does not apply to the site as the
property adjacent to the north is developed with a trade school/union hall, a non-
residential use. The building elevations depict a rather stark stucco skinned rectangular
building with a hipped roof form covered with asphalt shingles. Staff has recommended
a condition of approval requiring a stone veneer base on the first floor of the building
below sill level.
Site access is from two drives on Shiloah Drive, the southernmost has been conditioned
by Public Works to be a right in/right out only with a median in the Shiloah Drive right of
way. Circulation through the site is accomplished via a 15-foot-wide one-way drive
around the east, north and west sides of the building, which transitions to a 24-foot-wide
two-way drive on the southern side of the site. The building contains 44 single bedroom
units, and the parking provided complies with the UDC requirements for a multi-family
use.
The landscape plan submitted on 3/28/17 depicts the waivers requested by the
applicant to have a zero-foot-wide perimeter landscape planter on the north property
line, where 15 feet is required due to the adjacent R-1 (Single Family Residential)
zoning district; and a ten-foot-wide perimeter landscape planter on the south property
line where 15 feet is required due to the existing single family development on the south
side of Charleston Boulevard. The applicants justification letter points out the non-
residential use on the north property and the Primary Arterial on the south side of the
site as justification for the waiver requests. In addition, the landscape plan does not
include parking lot landscaping and the applicant is seeking an exception to having the
1 tree per 6 parking spaces, as well as the trees at the end of each parking aisle and
the inclusion of parking lot landscape fingers. Staff does not support the waiver and
exception requests. If the project is approved a condition of approval is included to
require that the perimeter landscaping on the west property line be increased to meet
the 1 tree per 20 linear feet requirement of Title 19.08.
The lack of perimeter landscaping on the north property line, the reduction of the
perimeter landscaping on the south property line, and the complete lack of parking lot
landscaping indicates that the site is being overbuilt and staff therefore is
recommending denial of the Site Development Plan Review (SDR-68888).
FINDINGS (GPA-68886)
Section 19.16.030(I) of the Las Vegas Zoning Code requires that the following
conditions be met in order to justify a General Plan Amendment:

The subject site is flanked by C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoned properties on the
west and east, R-1 (Single Family Residential zoned property to the north, and
across Charleston Boulevard the property is in Clark County and is zoned R-1
(Single Family Residential).
Uses allowed under the H (High Density Residential) general plan designation
could easily conform with the citys adopted plans and policies.

2. The uses which would be allowed on the subject property by approving the
rezoning will be compatible with the surrounding land uses and zoning
districts.
The proposed R-3 (Medium Density Residential) zoning would be compatible with
the surrounding sites land use and zoning districts which are SC (Service
Commercial) and C-1 (Limited Commercial) on the east and the west; M (Medium
Density Residential) and R-1 (Single Family Residential) to the north, and across
the 100-foot wide Primary Arterial, Charleston Boulevard, a single family
development in Clark County.
3. Growth and development factors in the community indicate the need for or
appropriateness of the rezoning.
FINDINGS (SDR-68888)
In order to approve a Site Development Plan Review application, per Title 19.16.100(E)
the Planning Commission and/or City Council must affirm the following:
2. The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan, this Title,
the Design Standards Manual, the Landscape, Wall and Buffer Standards,
and other duly-adopted city plans, policies and standards;
PB

May 9, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The development is proposed to have to access points on Shiloah Drive and one-
way circulation for a portion of the site. With the Public Works recommended
condition that limits access to right in right out for the southern drive, the
development will not have negative impact on the neighborhood.
4. Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the
City;
The stucco siding and asphalt shingles proposed for the building are appropriate
for the area and the landscape materials proposed are appropriate for the region.
The architectural design depicted on the elevations are minimalistic and while not
unsightly, improvements would be necessary to create a desirable appearance.
Staff has recommended a condition of approval that requires a base material such
as a stone veneer for the first floor below the sill level of the windows.
6. Appropriate measures are taken to secure and protect the public health,
safety and general welfare.
A building permit review and construction inspection will assure the development
is done in a way to protect the public health, safety and general welfare.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing to open a wedding chapel in the existing building at 607
South Decatur Boulevard. In order to do so, the applicant is proposing to amend the
General Plan land use designation to SC (Service Commercial) and rezone the property
to C-1 (Limited Commercial). In addition, this change in zoning will require a Variance
because the lot does not meet the lot width requirements and the existing building does
not meet the setback requirements for the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district.
ISSUES
A General Plan Amendment is requested to change the land use designations from
O (Office) to SC (Service Commercial). Staff recommends denial.
A Rezoning is requested to change the zoning designation from P-R (Professional
Office and Parking) to C-1 (Limited Commercial). Staff recommends denial.
A Variance of Title 19.08 is required to allow a 78-fot lot width where 100 feet is
required and to allow a 14-foot rear yard setback where 20 feet is required in a C-1
(Limited Commercial) zoning district. Staff recommends denial.
ANALYSIS
The applicant is requesting to amend a portion of the Southeast Sector of the Las
Vegas 2020 Master Plan from O (Office) to SC (Service Commercial) and to rezone the
subject site from P-R (Professional Office and Parking) to C-1 (Limited Commercial).
The subject site is currently developed with a commercial office building. The subject
site is located within the Airport Overlay District and Redevelopment Area #2.
The SC (Service Commercial) category allows low to medium intensity retail, office, or
other commercial uses that serve primarily local area patrons and that do not include
more intense general commercial characteristics. Examples include neighborhood
shopping centers, theaters, and other places of public assembly and public and semi-
public uses. This category also includes offices either singly or grouped as office
centers with professional and business services. The Service Commercial category
may also allow mixed-use development with a residential component where
appropriate.

Staff Report Page Two
May 9, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The proposed General Plan Amendment and Rezoning would result in the existing lot
and structure not meeting the minimum Title 19.08 development standards for lot width
and rear setback. Pursuant to Title 19.08, in the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning
district, the minimum requirement for lot width is 100 feet and the required minimum
rear yard setback is 20 feet. The applicant is requesting a Variance to allow 78-foot lot
width and a 14-foot rear yard setback for an existing non-residential building.
The proposed SC (Service Commercial) General Plan designation and C-1 (Limited
Commercial) zoning designation are not compatible with the existing single-family
residential uses located immediately adjacent to the subject site. In addition, the applicant
has created a self-imposed hardship by proposing to rezone the subject property such
that it will not meet the minimum Title 19.08 development standards. Staff recommends
denial of these requests.
FINDINGS (GPA-69221)
Section 19.16.030(I) of the Las Vegas Zoning Code requires that the following
conditions be met in order to justify a General Plan Amendment:
The subject site is adjacent to a primary arterial and a local street. There is
access to adequate transportation, recreation, and utility facilities to accommodate
the proposed General Plan Amendment.

May 9, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The proposed amendment does not conform to the adopted plans and policies
of the City. The existing property does not meet the requirements of the
proposed C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning for lot width and rear setback. An
application for a Variance (VAR-69223) is required, to allow for the 78-foot lot
width and 14-foot rear yard setback.
FINDINGS (ZON-69222)
2. The uses which would be allowed on the subject property by approving the
rezoning will be compatible with the surrounding land uses and zoning
districts.
The proposed C-1 zoning would not be compatible with the existing surrounding
single family residential land uses, as it would allow commercial uses that are too
intense.
3. Growth and development factors in the community indicate the need for or
appropriateness of the rezoning.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
ISSUES
Waivers have been requested to allow a zero-foot wide landscape buffer with no
perimeter landscaping on the north property line; a six-foot wide landscape buffer on
the east property line; a two-foot wide landscape buffer on a portion of the west
property line; and a 10-foot wide landscape buffer on a portion of the south property
line. Staff does not support the waiver requests.
ANALYSIS
The subject site (8504 Smoke Ranch Road) is located on the north side of Smoke
Ranch Road approximately 315 feet east of Buffalo Drive and is a 2.22 acre vacant lot.
The site was rezoned from U (Undeveloped) to C-1 (Limited Commercial) by the City
council on 10/21/15, and an 80-bed Convalescent Care Facility/Nursing Home was also
approved on the same date. No waivers were required at the time, and staff
recommended approval of that project. That facility was never constructed.
After submittal of their application, the applicant submitted revised site plan and
landscape plan drawings dated 03/08/17 to provide the appropriate side setbacks, and
now is in conformance with all setback requirements for the C-1 (Limited Commercial)
zoning district.
PB
SDR-68686 [PRJ-68685]
Staff Report Page Two
May 9, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The proposed facility will have 27 parking spaces, where 23 are required by the UDC.
Access to the site will be from two driveways off of Smoke Ranch Road, and the
majority of parking is provided in front of the facility. A 25-foot wide access drive allows
access to the rear of the facility along the east and then north property lines. The
Department of Fire and Rescue requires a turnaround or secondary egress from the
site. The current proposal doesnt provide enough room for a turnaround, so the
applicant is proposing to have access to the cul-de-sac bulb on the property to the
north. Staff is including a condition of approval that a perpetual access
easement/agreement be submitted prior to the issuance of building permits for the
facility to protect the health and safety of future residents.
The proposed facility would be composed of stucco walls, a tiled gabled roof structure,
and have vinyl windows. The existing medical offices on the north and east, and the
retail center on the west are all flat roofed structures with parapets. The only gabled
roof structures in the immediate vicinity are the single family homes on the south side of
Smoke Ranch Road which are on 41-foot wide lots. The proposed facility includes a
gabled roof structure that spans nearly the full length of the 295-foot wide facility. While
the use proposed is quasi-residential, the adjacent non-residential structures in the Las
Vegas Technology Center are the overwhelming aesthetic and therefore the proposed
gabled roof structure is incompatible with the surrounding development.
To make the proposed elevations more compatible with the surrounding development,
to give the sense of a base to the architectural design and to provide some visual
interest along the nearly 300-foot front faade, staff is recommending a condition that a
stone veneer be added to all elevations at a level just below the window trim.
Additionally, the submitted elevations appear to depict a chain link fence on the south
faade, which would be aesthetically incompatible with the surrounding developments.
Staff is recommending a condition of approval that requires all fencing on the site to be
decorative wrought iron with stucco columns.
The landscape plan submitted by the applicant reflects the waivers that they are
requesting for the proposal. On the north property line, where an eight-foot wide
landscape buffer is required, the applicant is proposing to have no landscape buffer or
landscape materials. On the east property line, where an eight-foot wide landscape
buffer is required, the applicant is proposing to have a six-foot wide landscape buffer.
On the south property line, where a 15-foot wide landscape buffer is required, the
applicant is proposing that portions of that buffer be 10 feet in width. Finally, on the
west property line, where an eight-foot wide landscape buffer is required, the applicant
is proposing that portions of that buffer be 2 feet in width. Staff finds that these requests
are indicative of a proposal that overbuilds the subject site and therefore does not
support the waivers.

Staff Report Page Three
May 9, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The rest of the landscape plan is in accordance with the requirements of the UDC for
the number and species of landscape materials proposed, including the provision of
parking lot landscaping.
Staff finds that the use is appropriate for the site, but this proposal will overbuild the site,
hence the necessity to request landscape waivers for every property line, and therefore
recommends denial. Recommended conditions have been included should the
proposal be approved.
FINDINGS (SDR-68686)
In order to approve a Site Development Plan Review application, per Title 19.16.100(E)
the Planning Commission and/or City Council must affirm the following:
The existing developments fronting on Smoke Ranch Road on either side of the
subject site provide landscape buffer widths in accordance with the UDC and flat
rooves with parapets instead of a gabled roof forms. Therefore, the proposal is
incompatible with adjacent development.
2. The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan, this Title,
the Design Standards Manual, the Landscape, Wall and Buffer Standards,
and other duly-adopted city plans, policies and standards;
The proposal includes several landscape waivers which means the development
is not consistent with the UDC and the Wall and Buffer Standards.
The proposal includes two driveways off of Smoke Ranch, a Primary Arterial,
which is sufficient to handle the traffic associated with this use.
4. Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the
City;
Stucco, tile roofing and vinyl windows are typical building materials in the city, and
the landscape materials are appropriate for the region.
PB
SDR-68686 [PRJ-68685]
Staff Report Page Four
May 9, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
While not unsightly, the choice to use a gabled roof form adjacent to several
existing medical offices and a retail center that all have flat rooves with parapets is
incompatible with development in the area. Additionally, the lack of a distinct base
material to the architectural design and the inclusion of chain link fencing would
create an aesthetically displeasing development.
6. Appropriate measures are taken to secure and protect the public health,
safety and general welfare.
If approved, the project will be subject to building permit review and business
licensing requirements and ongoing inspection to assure it continues to operate
respective of public health, safety and welfare.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
ISSUES
ANALYSIS
The applicant is proposing a Tentative Map (TMP-69646) for a 176-lot single family
residential subdivision with lot sizes ranging from 4,500 square feet to 10,957 square
feet. The existing General Plan land use designation ML (Medium Low Density
Residential) has an allowable density of 8.49 dwelling units per gross acre, which would
translate to a maximum of 248 units on this 29.22 acre parcel. As part of this request
the applicant has requested a Rezoning (ZON-69642) from U (Undeveloped) [ML
(Medium Low Density Residential) General Plan Designation] to R-SL (Residential
Small Lot), which is an allowable zoning district within the ML (Medium Low Density
Residential) General Plan land use designation.

developed to non-public street standards behind a gate has been requested. The
applicant has proposed to install the 44-foot wide private streets with roll-curb gutters
and one five-foot sidewalk where a 47-foot wide private street with two five-foot
sidewalk is the minimum required. Lastly, a Variance (VAR-69645) of Title 19.04,
Complete Street standards has been requested to permit no required landscaping
improvements within the amenity zone where such is required along Jones Boulevard
and Rancho Drive. The applicant has proposed only the existing five-foot sidewalk
within the right-of-way along Jones Boulevard, without the required three-foot landscape
amenity area for a Primary Arterial street. There is an existing 10-foot wide (multi-use)
trail which runs along the eastern perimeter of Rancho Drive. However, along Rancho
Drive the applicant has proposed only a five-foot sidewalk within the right-of-way,
without the required 11-foot and three-foot landscape amenity area for a Parkway
Arterial street. The submitted street cross sections for the remaining adjacent rights-of-
way Leon Avenue and Alexander Road comply with all Title 19.04 requirements.
The submitted east/west cross section depicts maximum natural grade less than 2%
across this site. Per the Tables in Subdivision Code 19.06.050 a development with
natural slope less than 2%, is allowed a maximum four-foot retaining wall. A three-foot
maximum retaining is shown on the west property line and a four-foot maximum
retaining is shown on the east property line.
The submitted north/south cross section depicts maximum natural grade less than 2%
across this site. Per the Tables in Subdivision Code 19.06.050 a development with
natural slope less than 2%, is allowed a maximum four-foot retaining wall. A three-foot
maximum retaining wall is shown on the south property line and an existing three-foot
retaining wall is shown on the north property line.
The Clark County School District projects that approximately 77 primary and secondary
school students would be generated by the proposed development on this site. Of the
three schools serving the area (Claude & Stella Parsons Elementary School, Theron
Swainston Middle School and Cheyenne High School), the District notes that none of
the schools are over capacity for the 2016-17 school year, and no new schools are
planned in this area at this time.
In summary, staff supports the requested Rezoning as it is consistent with the existing
ML (Medium Low Density Residential) General Plan Designation and is appropriate for
the area. However, staff supports the positive impact that Complete Street
improvements including street lights and landscape amenity zones have on residential
development, and does not support the two Waivers, Variance and Tentative Map;
therefore, staff recommends denial of these applications.

FINDINGS (ZON-69642)
2. The uses which would be allowed on the subject property by approving the
rezoning will be compatible with the surrounding land uses and zoning
districts.
The proposed R-SL (Residential Small Lot) zoning designation would permit
single family development, which is compatible with the single family dwellings
on lots zoned R-E (Residence Estates) bordering the site to the north and east.
3. Growth and development factors in the community indicate the need for or
appropriateness of the rezoning.
The proposed R-SL (Residential Small Lot) zoning designation, will permit
conformance with the existing ML (Medium Low Density Residential) designation
within the Centennial Hills Sector Plan of the General Plan, which was adopted by
the City Council to guide the growth and development of the community.
The site is bordered by Jones Boulevard, Rancho Drive , Alexander Road and
Leon Avenue, which will provide adequate capacity to serve the proposed use.
FINDINGS (WVR-69643)
No substantial evidence has been presented to warrant the requested Waivers of Title
19.02.240 to allow no interior streetlights and exterior streetlights along Leon Avenue
where such are required; therefore, staff recommends denial. If this request is
approved, it is subject to conditions.

conditions.
FINDINGS (VAR-69645)
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:

FINDINGS (TMP-69646)
The proposed Tentative Map conforms to Nevada Revised Statutes. However, the
project requires two Waivers and a Variance from the Title 19 Development Standards.
Staff does not support these requests and therefore recommends denial of the
Tentative Map. If this request is approved, it will be subject to conditions.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
ISSUES
A Major Modification of the Town Center Land use Plan is required to change the
land use designation on this site from a split designation [GC-TC (General
Commercial Town Center) and SC-TC (Service Commercial) Town Center)] to a
single designation (GC-TC), which will allow for Motor Vehicle Sales on the entire
11.50-acre parcel.
The Town Center Development Standards Manual limits height in the SC-TC District
to two stories. The vehicle storage garage is three stories above grade along the
eastern edge of the property, requiring a waiver. Staff supports this waiver.
A Waiver of the Town Center Development Standards Manual is required to permit
25 parking lot landscape trees where 30 trees are required. Staff supports this
waiver.
A Waiver of the Town Center Development Standards Manual is required to permit a
parking lot in front of the building where parking is allowed only on the side or rear of
buildings. Staff supports this waiver.
A Waiver of Title 19.08 perimeter landscape standards is required to permit five-foot
perimeter landscape buffers on portions of the south and east property lines where
eight feet is required. Staff supports the waiver request.
ANALYSIS
The southern 5.19 acres of the property are currently being used only for inventory
storage of vehicles associated with the existing Planet Nissan dealership located on the
north 6.31 acres of the site. This use will be replaced by a separate proposed Motor
Vehicle Sales (New) use. Motor Vehicle Sales (New) and Motor Vehicle Sales (Used)
are conditional uses in the GC-TC (General Commercial Town Center) District only.
As the southern 5.19-acre portion of the site is designated SC-TC (Service Commercial
Town Center), a Major Modification of the Town Center Land Use Plan to GC-TC is
required to allow the sale of automobiles on this portion of the property.
SS
MOD-69232 and SDR-69233 [PRJ-68993]
Staff Report Page Two
May 9, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The Major Modification request is appropriate, as the site is adjacent to similar land
uses as well as U.S. 95. The intensity of uses that are permitted in the GC-TC District
is compatible with these surrounding land uses. Existing shopping centers are located
to the northwest and south. The nearest residential uses are located across Centennial
Center Boulevard to the southwest. The site is directly opposite a stormwater detention
basin. Amendment of the Town Center special land use designation to GC-TC will
ensure that the entire parcel has a uniform designation. There are currently no plans by
the applicant to split this parcel along the boundary of the special land use designation.
Access to the proposed building site is via two existing 32-foot driveways from
Centennial Center Boulevard. These two access points fed into a primary 24-foot
driveway loop around the building. Customer, employee and service parking is located
off this primary drive. Display and inventory parking, which does not count toward the
required number of parking spaces, is located with the front yard behind the landscape
setback and at the rear of the site. A Waiver is requested to allow the display parking
area to be located in front of the building. Staff recommends approval, as the parking
and building configuration is compatible with the existing commercial development in
this area and matches the configuration for the dealership on the north side of this
parcel. In conformance with the intent of the Town Center Development Standards
Manual, the required parking spaces for this development will be on the sides of the
proposed building.
Title 19.18.020 defines a Motor Vehicle Sales (New) use as a facility or area, other
than an auto sales showroom, for the display and sale (or leasing) of new automobiles,
trucks, motorcycles and motor scooters, but excluding mopeds. The term includes
service bays and auto body shops which are incidental and accessory to the sales use.
The proposal conforms to this definition, as the drawings indicate a building intended to
be used for the sale and leasing, display and service of new motor vehicles. The
building will combine a Motor Vehicle Sales (New) showroom with a service garage and
covered storage of its own vehicle inventory. The showroom and service areas
constitute 42,359 square feet. The 204,350 square-foot covered storage area would be
located at the rear of the building and include an area for display of vehicles oriented to
U.S. 95. It would not contain any required parking spaces for customers or employees.
The building would be approximately 35 feet tall at the front and step up to 50 feet at the
rear, with three stories at grade and one subterranean level. As a maximum building
height of two stories is permitted in the GC-TC District, a waiver of this standard is
necessary. The addition of a third story is not excessive, as the subject property is only
slightly below the grade of the U.S. 95 Freeway. From the east elevation, the building is
designed to look like two stories, as it is partially obscured by a paneled faade with
trees and other landscaping near the foundation. There is minimal impact to adjacent
uses, as the building height is at its greatest along the freeway.

May 9, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The service intake entrance would be located at the front of the building, but all vehicle
service would occur on the interior of the building, with two additional openings to the
service area from the north side of the building. The submitted plans indicate that all
Town Center conditional use requirements for a Motor Vehicle Sales (New) use will be
met.
The existing inventory storage development was approved in February 2004. As part of
that plan, Town Center streetscaping was installed at the front of the site and landscape
buffers were proposed on all sides of the 5.19-acre portion of the site. The landscape
buffers were installed on the north, south and west perimeters but not along the east
property line. The requested waiver of Title 19.08 to reduce the width of the perimeter
buffers along the east property line and a portion of the south property line is justified,
as the reduction occurs at the rear of the property where visual buffering is less
important, and where sufficient space must be provided for a drive aisle/fire lane and
parking. Staff recommends approval of this waiver. However, the provided landscape
plan shows a decrease in the number of trees provided within the south and east
perimeter buffers. A condition of approval will require that two additional trees be added
to each of the south and east perimeter buffers.
Staff also recommends approval of a Waiver to permit five fewer trees in the parking
area. These trees are required at the rear of the property at the ends of the rear parking
row and within three landscape islands; instead, the adjacent parking spaces will be
used for vehicle storage and will be largely hidden behind an existing six-foot perimeter
wall.
Pursuant to Title 19.10.060(E) and the Town Center Development Standards Manual, a
minimum of 20 percent open space must be provided for this project. Despite the two
requested landscape waivers, the site will provide 22.6 percent open space in
conformance with the Town Center Development Standards Manual. The site will
contain landscaped plazas in the front yard vehicle display area, as well as decorative
paving. Two internal sidewalks are provided for access to the public right-of-way.
The building is designed in a modern style with smooth edges at the front and rear and
angular forms on the less visible north and south sides. The front and rear are
proposed to be clad in colored metallic panels with low reflectivity, while the sides
consist of painted concrete or painted stucco over masonry. Administrative offices
would be located on the first and second floors, while the service area and showroom
would occupy the remainder of the non-storage floor area. The four levels of vehicle
storage can be accessed from the south and east sides of the building.
A portion of the planter area in the southeast corner of the site is reserved for a future
freestanding sign, which will be reviewed for conformance with the Town Center
Development Standards Manual through a building permit.

May 9, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
Utility infrastructure has been provided to this property. The Las Vegas Valley Water
District (LVVWD) comments, This parcel is currently served. Civil and plumbing plans
will need to be submitted to LVVWD for domestic meter sizing and fire flow availability.
The proposed development will redevelop land located between two large shopping
centers and adjacent to a stormwater detention basin and the U.S. 95 freeway. As a
Motor Vehicle Sales (New) facility is already established on the northern portion of the
subject parcel, the proposed development serves as an extension of the use to the
southern portion, keeping intact the pattern of development along the Centennial Center
Boulevard commercial corridor. The requested waivers will have minimal impact on
surrounding development and will not detract from the proposed development meeting
the intent of the Town Center Development Standards. Staff therefore recommends
approval with conditions. If this Site Development Plan Review is denied, permits for
the proposed development cannot be issued. However, denial of the Site Development
Plan Review does not necessarily require that the associated Major Modification of the
Town Center Land Use Plan also be denied.
FINDINGS (MOD-69232)
The southern portion of the subject parcel was previously a separate parcel that
contained the current SC-TC (Service Commercial Town Center) special land use
designation. A later mapping action combined this parcel with the northern portion,
allowing the southern portion to be used for ancillary vehicle storage. The proposed
Major Modification will allow for motor vehicle sales across the entire parcel in addition
to vehicle parking and storage; the uses that are permitted in the GC-TC (General
Commercial Town Center) designation are compatible with the surrounding uses.
Staff therefore recommends approval of the proposed Major Modification of the Town
Center Land Use Plan.
FINDINGS (SDR-69233)
In order to approve a Site Development Plan Review application, per Title 19.16.100(E)
the Planning Commission and/or City Council must affirm the following:
SS
MOD-69232 and SDR-69233 [PRJ-68993]
Staff Report Page Five
May 9, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
2. The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan, this Title,
the Design Standards Manual, the Landscape, Wall and Buffer Standards,
and other duly-adopted city plans, policies and standards;
Access to the site is from two existing 32-foot driveways from Centennial Center
Boulevard, classified as a 100-foot Frontage Street on the Master Plan of Streets
and Highways and a Frontage Road in the Town Center Street Classification.
Circulation around the site is logical and provides easy access to parking and the
enclosed vehicle storage area. These access points will not negatively affect
traffic along the frontage road.
4. Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the
City;
The proposed building will consist of painted stucco, concrete and aluminum
panel exteriors with low reflectivity. The concrete portions would be interior to the
site and obscured from views from adjacent rights of way by facades clad with the
metallic panels. Most of the perimeter landscape materials are existing and
appropriate for the area. Additional landscaping is proposed to be added along
the building and in the customer and service parking areas.
The proposed elevations are aesthetically pleasing and consistent with the intent
of the architectural standards contained within the Town Center Development
Standards Manual, and are consistent with the existing Motor Vehicle Sales (New)

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request to utilize a different tree species than what is required within the Town
Center Development area at 8451 Farm Road.
ISSUES
ANALYSIS
The subject site is home to a shopping center, currently under construction. It is located
within the Town Center (General Commercial) Zoning District. The applicant is
requesting a Review of Condition and Waiver in order to utilize an alternative tree
species than what is required in the Town Center Development Standards Manual.
Specifically, the applicant is proposing to plant 36-inch Box Chinese Pistache shade
trees along Farm Road. Per the Town Center Development Standards Manual,
Fraxinus Velutina Rio Grande (Rio Grande Ash), at least 36-inch box or greater size,
with a minimum three-inch caliper diameter at six inches above grade at time of
installation shall be used throughout Town Center perimeter landscape buffer areas.
This requirement was attached to Site Development Plan Review (SDR-61074) as a
condition of approval. Per the submitted justification letter, the applicant has concerns
regarding an invasive species that feeds on the Rio Grande Ash Tree. Concerns were
also raised regarding the lack of diversity for the Southern Nevada deciduous urban
forest. The applicant argues that it would be fiscally irresponsible to use a tree that is
known to be susceptible to an invasive species.
The Las Vegas City Council adopted the Northwest General Plan Amendment in 1996.
This document made provisions for a Town Center area to be created. The purpose of
the Town Center Master Plan was to incorporate regulations and development
standards that specifically affect the use of land within the subject area. The
Streetscape Design Standards within the Town Center Development Manual were
CS

established to create a sense a place, order and rhythm to pedestrians, cyclists and
motorists navigating through Town Center. Each streetscape within Town Center has a
specific design standard associated with it to establish a role identified within the urban
context in terms of hierarchy, image, character and the functional requirements of
linking land uses. The surrounding commercial properties to the north and east have
streetscapes that have been successfully developed with plant materials in accordance
with the Town Center Development Standards. As this property is the last to develop
within the surrounding region, staff recommends that in order to create cohesion,
balance and conformity with the existing adjacent developments that the use of the Rio
Grande Ash be required to remain.
The submitted justification letter argued that limiting the overplanting of a particular
species due to the potential that it may comprise as much as 40% of the deciduous
urban forest. The required Rio Grande Ash trees would comprise 8.1% of the proposed
tree palette within the subject site, and falls well within the recommended horticultural
rule of thumb that no more than one species comprise more than 10% of any plant
palette. Within the interior of the site, the applicant is welcome to elect to utilize a native
plant palette to ensure ultimate maximum species survivability. Per the Town Center
Development Standards, internal landscaped areas may have any tree type as
specified on the approved landscape plan for the site provided they are consistent with
the Southern Nevada Regional Planning Coalition Regional Plant List.
No substantial evidence has been presented to warrant the requested Waiver of the
Town Center Development Standards Manual requirement that 36-inch Box Rio Grande
Ashe Trees be planted within the amenity zone along Farm Road. The Site
Development Plan Review (SDR-61074) for a proposed 65,935 square-foot shopping
center was approved with waivers on November 18, 2015 subject to conditions.
Removal of Condition Number 10(A) and the approval of Waiver (WVR-69608) will allow
the applicant to plant a different tree species than what is required in the Town Center
Development Standards Manual. Staff recommends denial of the request.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
ISSUES
The site is zoned C-V (Civic), which allows certain development standards to be
approved through a Site Development Plan Review if compatible with adjacent
properties. No waivers or exceptions are therefore required.
A Variance is required to permit six parking spaces where 11 spaces are required.
Staff recommends denial.
A Variance is required to permit the backing of any motor vehicle onto a public street
from the parking area along Adams Avenue as proposed. Staff recommends denial.
Half-street improvements on Adams Avenue and 4th Street are required except as
modified by VAR-69804.
ANALYSIS
Development of the site is subject to Title 19.10 standards for developments within the
C-V (Civic) zoning district. The C-V District may provide for any public or quasi-public
use operated or controlled by any recognized religious, fraternal, veteran, civic or
service organization and is consistent with the Public Facilities category of the General
Plan. The proposed development on this site would be operated by the same entity that
operates the residential rehabilitation facility (termed an alcohol rehabilitation center
when first approved in 1967) across the street at 1001 North 4th Street. When both
sites were rezoned to C-V in 2002, the use was termed a Special Care Facility.
Neither term is used by the current version of Title 19. The proposed building would be
used as a gathering place for group meetings and special activities, characteristics that
are similar to an office use.
Through adoption of the Downtown North Land Use Plan, the General Plan designation
of the site was amended from PF (Public Facilities) to M (Medium Density Residential).
As the zoning of the property remains C-V and the use is closely affiliated with the
SS
VAR-67949 and SDR-67950 [PRJ-67708]
Staff Report Page Two
May 9, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
existing residential rehabilitation facility at 1001 North 4th Street, the proposed
development is compatible with surrounding land uses and therefore appropriate at this
location. The City, at its discretion, may opt to amend the General Plan designation to
PF at a future date in order to keep the zoning and General Plan designations
consistent.
Per Title 19.10, the minimum development standards for property in the C-V District
shall be established by the City Council in connection with the approval of a rezoning
application or in connection with the approval of a site development plan. Additional
standards relating to the height, perimeter and parking lot design and landscaping are
not applicable to this site, as it is not located adjacent to properties zoned for single-
family use. Due to the narrow width of the lot, the building is configured such that
parking must be reduced (by 45 percent from the minimum Title 19 requirement) and
located along the frontages, with three parking spaces configured to allow vehicles to
back onto Adams Avenue. Offsite improvements, including standard sidewalks, curbs
and gutters, must also be modified to allow for this configuration. The Department of
Public Works has no objection to vehicles backing out into the public right-of-way in this
situation, with the understanding that the majority of persons using the proposed
building on this site will be walking from the residential rehabilitation facility across the
street at 1001 North 4th Street. In addition, there are similar conditions in the area
where sidewalks, curbs and gutters are lacking; therefore, the Department of Public
Works also supports the proposed modification to offsite improvements, provided the
variance to allow vehicles to back out into the right-of-way (VAR-69804) is approved.
However, as the design of the building creates the necessity for reducing the number of
parking spaces and locating three of these spaces such that vehicles must back out into
the right-of-way, staff cannot support the request for both variances.
Half-street improvements are required on 4th Street and Adams Avenue adjacent to the
site. There are currently no sidewalks along the east side of 4th Street or the north side
of Adams Avenue. As part of this plan, a sidewalk is proposed at the corner of Adams
Avenue and 4th Street, with tie-ins to future sidewalks north and east of the property. In
lieu of a sidewalk along 4th Street, which is not practical given the onsite parallel
parking configuration, a pedestrian walkway is provided onsite that connects to an
accessible ramp at the corner. In a similar way, a walkway is provided behind the three
parking spaces on Adams Avenue. Pedestrian access easement(s) must be granted for
public use of these walkways.
The proposed building would consist of a painted corrugated metal exterior with a
sloped corrugated metal roof. The base of the west and south elevations would include
simulated stone veneer and glass doorways. The primary entry from 4th Street would
be sheltered by a sloped canopy. These materials are compatible with other
development in this area of the city.

Landscaping will be provided on the site, mostly on the interior adjacent to the building.
One 24-inch box Chilean Mesquite tree is provided at the northwest corner of the site
for screening of mechanical equipment, and shrubs are located around the tree, in front
of the building and at the corner. The materials provided are appropriate for the site.
The use is appropriate for this site. However, the site cannot accommodate a building
of the size proposed, along with the required number of onsite parking spaces. A
smaller building constructed to the frontages would allow for the provision of onsite
spaces behind the building without forcing vehicles to back out onto a public right-of-
way. Staff therefore recommends denial of the two variances and the Site Development
Plan Review, subject to conditions. If denied, permits for development of the site as
proposed cannot be issued.
FINDINGS (VAR-67949)
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:

FINDINGS (SDR-67950)
In order to approve a Site Development Plan Review application, per Title 19.16.100(E)
the Planning Commission and/or City Council must affirm the following:
The use is appropriate for this site. However, the site cannot accommodate a
building of the size proposed, along with the required number of onsite parking
spaces.

2. The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan, this Title,
the Design Standards Manual, the Landscape, Wall and Buffer Standards,
and other duly-adopted city plans, policies and standards;
The configuration of the building and parking lot requires variances to permit fewer
parking spaces than required and to allow vehicles to back out into public right-of-
way. The development otherwise is consistent with development in the C-V
zoning district.
Primary access to the site is from Adams Avenue, a Minor Street. Secondary
access is provided from 4th Street by way of three parallel parking spaces. No
onsite circulation is proposed. Refuse will be picked up from a trash enclosure
located along the 4th Street frontage.
4. Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the
City;
Building materials consist of corrugated metal roofing and siding, stone veneer
base and aluminum and glass storefront features. These materials are
compatible with surrounding development. Landscaping consists of one Chilean
Mesquite tree and a variety of five gallon drought-tolerant shrubs labeled as
bulletproof (low maintenance) by the Southern Nevada Regional Planning
Coalition Regional Plant List.
6. Appropriate measures are taken to secure and protect the public health,
safety and general welfare.
Site Development is subject to permit review and inspection for protection of the
health, safety and general welfare of the public.

May 9, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
Pre-Application Meeting
A pre-application meeting was held to discuss submittal requirements
for a Site Development Plan Review application for a proposed
building on a vacant site. Due to size of the lot, the applicant claimed
11/10/16 that the building could not be placed at the front setback and parking
could not be located at the side or rear of the building. Variances
would therefore be required for this standard and to allow vehicles to
back into a public street.
Neighborhood Meeting
A neighborhood meeting is not required, nor was one held.
Field Check
The site is currently vacant, unimproved and cleared of weeds and
debris. Existing screening and retaining walls are located along the
east and north perimeter of the property. Above-ground power lines
03/30/17
run along the south and west perimeters of the site. Public Works
commented that half-street improvements will be required on Adams
Avenue.

Proposed Use
Washington Avenue
Average Daily Traffic (ADT) 16,516
PM Peak Hour (heaviest 60 minutes) 1,321
This project will add approximately 34 trips per day on Adams Ave., 4th St., Las Vegas Blvd. and Washington Ave.
Currently, Las Vegas is at about 75 percent of capacity and Washington is at about 49 percent of capacity. With this
project, these capacities are expected to be unchanged. Counts are not available for Adams or 4th in this vicinity, but they
are believed to be under capacity.
Based on Peak Hour use, this development will add into the area roughly 5 additional cars, or about one every twelve
minutes.
Note that this report assumes all traffic from this development uses all named streets.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
ISSUES
ANALYSIS
The subject site is designated by the General Plan as SC (Service Commercial) and is
zoned C-1 (Limited Commercial). The proposed use is Building Maintenance Service
and Sales, which is a permitted use in the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district.
The submitted site plan depicts an 11,780 square foot building sited on the west side of
the property, with surface parking on the east portion of the site near the single drive
from Vegas Drive. The required parking for the Building Maintenance Service and
Sales use is one space for every 300 square feet, which equates to 40 parking spaces.
The submitted plan depicts 38 spaces and the applicant has requested a Variance
(VAR-69339) to permit this reduced parking standard. Staff has made findings that do
not support the approval of this request.
The submitted elevations depict a two story office component in the middle of the
building with a single story, 18-foot-tall segment on both the north and south sides of the
office component. The building is composed of stucco with a flat roof structure. The
design of the building has been applied to all four sides of the structure, with
architectural elements carried over from each side to the next.

May 9, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The 18-foot height on the south end of the structure equates to needing to provide a 54
setback from the R-1 (Single Family Residential) zoned properties to the south. The
site plan depicts a 20-foot setback and as such the applicant has requested a Variance
(VAR-69261) to permit the reduced setback. Staff has made findings that do not
support the approval of this request.
The submitted landscape plan depict perimeter landscaping in conformance with Title
19.08, with the exception of trees on the west property line. The applicant has
requested an Exception to not provide the required trees west of the building, to allow
visibility of the golf course to the west. The landscape plan also depicts a portion of the
required parking lot landscaping, but the applicant has requested an Exception to not
provide parking lot fingers or the associated trees for those fingers in the south and east
parking aisles. Staff does not support the Exception, as the landscape materials could
easily be provided west of the building and the lack of parking lot landscaping is
indication of overbuilding the site.
The Variances and the landscape exceptions are indicative of overbuilding the site and
lead staff to recommend denial of the proposed development. If approved, staff has
included conditions of approval.
FINDINGS (VAR-69261)
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:

FINDINGS (SDR-69262)
In order to approve a Site Development Plan Review application, per Title 19.16.100(E)
the Planning Commission and/or City Council must affirm the following:
The proposed development does not provide the required setback from the
residential zoned and developed property to the south and is therefore not
compatible with the existing development in the area.
2. The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan, this Title,
the Design Standards Manual, the Landscape, Wall and Buffer Standards,
and other duly-adopted city plans, policies and standards;
This project will add approximately 119 trips per day on Vegas Dr. and Rancho Dr.
Currently, Vegas is at about 42 percent of capacity and Rancho is at about 88
percent of capacity. With this project, Vegas is expected to be at about 43 percent
of capacity and Rancho to be at about 89 percent of capacity.
4. Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the
City;
The building is composed mainly of stucco with a flat roof, standard materials in
the area; and is landscaped with materials that are appropriate in this climate.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting a new Master Sign Plan for a portion of the existing Boca
Park Shopping Center that includes proposed signage to be located at the northeast
corner of Charleston Boulevard and Rampart Boulevard. Staff has requested that the
applicant extend this sign plan to the entire Boca Park property, and has notified this
application to the full extent of the Boca Park Shopping Center.
ISSUES
A Variance is required to permit three proposed 24-foot tall monument signs where
10 feet is the maximum height allowed, to allow one 383 square-foot and two 172
square-foot monument signs where 75 square feet per sign is allowed, and to allow
an eight-foot separation between three proposed monument signs where a minimum
separation of 100 feet between signs is required. Staff recommends denial.
Sign standards were only provided for the proposed corner signage and for the
existing Boca Park Marketplace located on approximately 42 acres at the northeast
corner of Charleston Boulevard and Rampart Boulevard. Staff is requesting that a
comprehensive master sign plan be submitted for the entire 72.55-acre shopping
center that includes both Boca Park Marketplace and Boca Park Fashion
Village/Shops at Boca Park within 60 days of final action.
None of the proposed signs are subject to Residential Protection Standards. The
golf course to the west of Rampart Boulevard is zoned R-PD; however, the previous
approval for signage on this site entitled illuminated signage oriented to the Rampart
Boulevard frontage, not to the golf course.
The site is located within the Off-Premise Sign Exclusionary Zone. No off-premise
signage is allowed on any of the signs within the development.
ANALYSIS
A Master Sign Plan was originally approved with the Master Development Plan for
Phases I and II of Boca Park in 1999. Another Master Sign Plan was approved in 2013
over the same area to establish criteria for both new and existing signs; however, no
building permits were issued for any of the proposed signs, and the approval expired on
11/20/15. Per Title 19.16.270, a Master Sign Plan is required for any nonresidential
project with a site area larger than 15 acres, such as this site. In addition to establishing
criteria for existing and proposed signage at the Boca Park Marketplace development,
six new signs are proposed at the corner of Charleston and Rampart through this
Master Sign Plan, which, according to the applicant are intended to serve as one sign.

May 9, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
Currently, the corner contains a landscaped setback area, behind which is a low
retaining wall with the letters BOCA PARK attached centered to the corner. Behind
the wall are five palm trees and six light standards. This request would replace the
existing channel letters spelling BOCA PARK with newly designed individual letters
(Type 1.5) on painted aluminum blocks with a burgundy background. These blocks
would be embedded into the low wall, rising to one foot above the wall. Just behind
these letters, a 24-foot tall, 383 square-foot monument sign (Type 1.1) containing six
animated LED display units is proposed. The display units are intended to operate as a
single sign as opposed to displaying six different messages.
Left and right from the center of the wall, two 24-foot tall monument signs are proposed
behind the wall, with one sign facing the Rampart Boulevard frontage (Type 1.2) and
the other facing the Charleston Boulevard frontage (Type 1.3). Each sign consists of
one 55 square-foot tenant cabinet and five 13 square-foot tenant cabinets, as well as
two 34 square foot tenant cabinets near the base that are perpendicular from the tenant
panels above. Each cabinet would contain the tenant name in pan channel letters
internally illuminated by white LEDs. Attached to the wall just below these last two
cabinets is a 36 square foot tenant cabinet (Type 1.4/1.6) with similar characteristics
as those above.
Title 19.08.120 contains all the applicable standards for signage within this
development. Given the unusual design of these signs, staff has determined that the
intent of Title 19 is best served by separating the messages into six distinct signs
three monument signs and three wall signs. The monument signs proposed maintain
ground contact at the base and thus fall into this sign type. The height and size of the
monument signs far exceed the maximum allowed by Title 19. In contrast, freestanding
signs are permitted up to 40 feet in height and the size varies depending on the length
of the sites frontage. The wall signs are permitted to cover up to 20 percent of the wall
to which they are attached. In this instance they do not exceed 20 percent.
The submitted sign criteria document states that all signs in the Boca Park Marketplace
shall conform to all standards, procedures and requirements of the City of Las Vegas
Zoning Code, although the Developer of the property explicitly states that it has no
responsibility to check for compliance with local ordinances. An applicant may request
a variance of these standards through the City. Beyond the proposed corner signage,
the criteria have not changed from previous master sign plan approvals. Staff has
requested that the applicant revise the document to eliminate any inconsistencies in the
requirements and to combine the Boca Park Marketplace standards with those for the
Boca Park Fashion Village/Shops at Boca Park (Phase III) so that one comprehensive
document may be referenced by the Developer, tenants and City staff. If this Master
Sign Plan is approved, a condition has been added requiring the applicant to submit
such a document to the Department of Planning within 60 days of final approval.
Criteria that are outside of the scope of Title 19 will be subject to additional public
hearings for review.

There is no unique characteristic of the Boca Park property that would result in a true
hardship for the applicant if Title 19 standards are applied to signage. In this case, the
hardship is solely design-related, and conformance to the Zoning Code could be
achieved with a different design. Staff therefore recommends denial of the variance and
the master sign plan, subject to conditions.

FINDINGS (MSP-69663)
The proposed monument signage at the northeast corner of Charleston Boulevard and

all standards for the zoning district in which the signs will be located or establish more
restrictive requirements that conform to specific criteria relating to aesthetics,
development patterns, architectural compatibility and durability. A Variance is otherwise
required. As the signs proposed in this master sign do not conform to the applicable
standards, and staff does not support the associated Variance request, staff therefore
also cannot support the Master Sign Plan.

to discuss submittal requirements for a Master Sign Plan application.
The representative presented the proposed corner signage as one
unified sign; staff ultimately determined that the signage would be

regulated as six separate signs. Staff also requested that sign criteria
be submitted describing how new and existing signs were to be
reviewed and any specific criteria beyond Title 19 for which a variance
would be necessary.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a Variance to allow a 2.5-foot side yard setback for an existing
carport, and an 11-foot rear yard setback for an existing addition to a single family
residence at 3228 Point Lobos Drive.
ISSUES
ANALYSIS
During a follow-up inspection performed on November 15, 2016 staff observed that the
storage shed had been removed, but the carport and rear addition were still present.
Since only one of the violations had been corrected, a reinspection fee was assessed
and the property was scheduled for another inspection in December.
Another follow-up inspection was performed on December 5, 2016 where staff observed
no change in the status of the violations. Staff once again assessed a reinspection fee.

May 9, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
On December 20, 2016 staff from the Department of Planning, Planning division
conducted a pre-application meeting with the property owners representative where the
code violations were discussed with staff members from both the Departments of
Planning and Building and Safety. During the pre-application meeting it was determined
a Variance would be required to rectify the rear addition encroaching into the rear yard
setback by four feet. Additionally, the applicant proposed to reduce the size of the
carport to accommodate a 2.5-foot side yard setback to the support post. Staff from the
Department of Building and Safety advised the applicants representative that the
columns and eaves of the carport would be required to be fire rated since they would be
located within five feet of the property line. A Variance application was submitted to the
Department of Planning on February 28, 2017 for a Variance of Title 19.06.070. The
first is for an 11-foot rear yard setback where 15 feet is required, and the second for a
2.5-foot side yard setback where five feet is required in the R-1 (Single Family
Residence) zoning district.
When the five-foot side yard setback is met, the overhang of a patio cover or carport
may come within three feet of the required setback area, which allows a two-foot
overhang. Since the proposed carport will encroach into the proposed three-foot side
yard setback by two inches, the Variance request must account for every inch it
encroaches into the side yard setback beyond 3 feet resulting in the 2.5-foot Variance
request.
FINDINGS (VAR-69298)
In accordance with the provisions of Title 19.16.140(B), Planning Commission and City
Council, in considering the merits of a Variance request, shall not grant a Variance in
order to:

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request to construct a garage within a required corner side yard and rear yard
setback area. The subject site is located at 5951 North Bronco Street.
ISSUES
The R-E (Residence Estates) zoning district requires accessory structures to have a
minimum corner side yard setback of 15 feet and a rear yard setback of 10 feet. The
applicant proposes to construct a garage with a corner side yard setback of 10 feet
and rear yard setback of six feet. Staff recommends denial of the request.
ANALYSIS
Per Title 19, accessory structures located within the R-E (Residence Estates) zoning
district are required to maintain a minimum corner side yard setback of 15 feet and a
rear yard setback of 10 feet. The proposed accessory structure will be located in the
northeast corner of the subject property, with a corner side yard setback of 10 feet and
a rear yard setback of six feet. The structure will maintain a 19-foot distance from the
principal dwelling. The subject parcel is adjacent to other single family dwellings to the
north, south and west. There is also a single family dwelling to the east, separated by a
60-foot public right-of-way. Per the submitted justification letter, the structure will have
stucco over metal studs with a tile roof which will complement the aesthetic of the
principal dwelling. The accessory structure will be utilized as a multi-purpose storage
building. The submitted floor plan did not show any kitchen facilities associated with the
structure.
Since this is a self-imposed hardship created by the owner, staff recommends denial of
the request. If approved, the applicant will be able to construct their garage as
proposed.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
ISSUES
ANALYSIS
The subject site is developed with an existing private school facility and is zoned R-E
(Residence Estates). The R-E (Residence Estates) zoning district restricts fences
within the front yard of properties to be a maximum of five feet in height with the top
three feet being at least 50% open. The applicant is proposing to construct an eight-
foot-high wrought iron fence that will comply with the opacity requirements but exceeds
the overall height permitted.
The applicants justification letters states that the fence is being constructed to provide a
greater level of security for the private school and is being funded by the federal
government.
Staff has a concern that the fence is being proposed at the back of the sidewalk and will
therefore partially obscure the perimeter landscaping that was required when the private
school was approved and constructed.
Staff is recommending denial of this request due to the fact that there is no unique or
extraordinary circumstance and the fence will partially obscure the perimeter
landscaping provided to buffer the private school from the surrounding residential
neighborhood.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request to construct a detached garage within required side and rear yard
setback areas. The garage is also proposed to be built too close to the principal
dwelling located at 6224 Newkirk Court.
ISSUES
The R-E (Residence Estates) zoning district requires accessory structures to have a
minimum side yard and rear yard setback of 10 feet. It also stipulates that accessory
structures have a minimum six-foot separation from the principal dwelling on site.
The applicant proposes to construct a garage with a rear and side yard setback of
five feet and with a four-foot separation from the principal dwelling. Staff
recommends denial of the request.
ANALYSIS
The subject site is located within a residential subdivision at the end of a cul-de-sac. It
is adjacent to properties with single family dwellings to the east and west. The property
adjacent to the north is under Clark County jurisdiction and is partially undeveloped and
partially Interstate-215. The applicant requests a Variance to construct a garage in the
northwest corner of the subject parcel with five-foot rear and side yard setbacks and
with a four-foot separation from the principal dwelling. Title 19 requires accessory
structures located within the R-E (Residence Estates) zoning district to have 10-foot
rear and side yard setbacks and a minimum six-foot separation from the principal
dwelling. In the submitted justification letter, the applicant states that the garage will be
used to store their vehicles.
Since this is a self-imposed hardship created by the owner, staff recommends denial of
the request. If approved, the applicant will be able to construct their garage as
proposed.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
ISSUES
ANALYSIS
The subject site is located within the Downtown Gateway of the Downtown Centennial
Plan Overlay District. The proposed Church/House of Worship conversion, pursuant to
the Downtown Centennial Plan Threshold Requirements, the development is a partial
block frontage (50% or less) any streetscape not implemented due to existing
conditions will require a Covenant Running with Land to obtain property owners
consent for future improvements.
The site contains a 3,184 square-foot apartment building with two residential units. The
applicant proposes to convert this space into Church/House of Worship with ancillary
services that will include food distribution. No additions are proposed and the interior
renovations are the result of a change of the use of the existing building and will retain a
design similar to other buildings in the neighborhood. A Special Use Permit (U-0072-
00) was approved by the City Council on 10/18/00 and expired 10/18/10 with no building
permit issued for the Church/House of Worship conversion.

May 9, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The Church/House of Worship use is defined as Any building used for religious worship
services, religious education and fellowship activities and programs of a religious
organization. This use includes the use of the building and premises for other related
activities, such as child care facilities, formal educational programs, preschool classes
and recreational activities, but only when those activities are ancillary to the religious
use and only after those uses have been approved by means of a use review or other
procedure under LVMC Chapter 19.16. This use does not include any class of child
care center, general education classroom or facility, thrift shop, homeless shelter or
commercial activity. The applicant is proposing to offer a food pantry in addition to the
standard Church/House of Worship.
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include:
1. The Special Use Permit approval may include such activities as religious
services, religious instruction, church club activities and similar activities.
The applicants justification letter states that the primary use is a Church/House
of Worship.
2. The Special Use Permit approval may also include accessory functions, such as
child care facilities, formal educational programs, preschool classes and similar
related activities, if:
a. The uses are specifically proposed in the application; and
b. The Director finds that each such use is ancillary to the primary use.
3. Following approval of a Special Use Permit, if any additional uses not specifically
covered by that Special Use Permit are proposed, an additional public hearing
process shall be required to add the uses.
Additional uses beyond the Church/House of Worship and the ancillary food bank
will require an amendment of this Special Use Permit.

*4. In residential districts, related uses such as thrift shops, homeless shelters and
other similar activities may not be conducted and are not eligible for approval as
part of a Special Use Permit. Such uses may be conducted only in the zoning
districts in which such uses are permitted as primary uses, and must receive
specific approval to operate.
*5. Churches on sites larger than 5 acres shall not be permitted in the U District or a
district with an R prefix.
This requirement does not apply to the proposed use, as it would occur on a site
of less than five acres (0.25), which is allowed in residential districts.
The proposed Church/House of Worship use is located on the edge of an existing R-4
(High Density Residential) District, between single-family residential zoned R-2
(Medium-Low Density Residential); single-family residential, multi-family residential
building and undeveloped property zoned R-4 (High Density Residential); multi-family
residential building zoned R-3 (Medium Density Residential). The site is suited for a
house of worship and no rezoning is necessary to establish this use at the subject
location. The site is easily accessed from Mesquite Avenue and 9 th Street from the
neighborhood it is intended to serve. Parking is available on site on the front, side and
the rear of the property via Mesquite Avenue, 9th Street and the existing alley located at
the rear of the property.
The Las Vegas Valley Water District has provided the following comments regarding the
subject property, 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 domestic meter sizing, fire flow availability and backflow
retrofit. A condition of approval has been added to state the backflow preventer must
be installed in conformance with the Downtown Centennial Plan.

Department of Public Works has provided the Average Daily Traffic (ADT),that this
project will add approximately 10 trips per day on Mesquite Avenue, 9 th Street, 10th
Street and Stewart Avenue. Currently, Mesquite is about two percent of capacity and
Stewart Avenue is about 28 percent of capacity. With this project, these capacities are
expected to remain unchanged. Counts are not available for 9 th or 10th Streets, but they
are under capacity. On Sundays, this project is expected to about 14 trips in the peak
hour, or about every four minutes. Based on Peak Hour use, this project will not add
any trips in the peak hour on weekdays.
As the proposed use meets the minimum requirements for a Special Use Permit, the
site is suitable for a house of worship and this use is compatible with the surrounding
land uses and zoning districts; staff recommends approval with conditions.
FINDINGS (SUP-69226)
In order to approve a Special Use Permit application, per Title 19.16.110(L) the Planning
Commission and City Council must affirm the following:
2. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use
proposed.
The existing 3,184 square-foot buildings will not be expanding on the subject site.
Provided onsite parking will be adequate to accommodate religious services and
proposed ancillary use of the site.

Site access from the rear alley and from neighborhood streets will have minimal
impact on traffic in the area, as most visitors will arrive by foot from the
surrounding neighborhood.
4. Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the
City;
The existing stucco and brick facades are compatible with other buildings in the
area. The property has an existing Italian Cypress in the front yard of the site.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
ISSUES
ANALYSIS
The applicant is proposing to build a church in a R-E (Residence Estates) district. The
building will be built on the northwest corner of the parcel, away from the residences on
parcels adjacent to the east. The building is a single story structure that is generally in
proportion with the surrounding residential structures.
The applicant is proposing a non-residential use in the R-E (Residence Estates) zoning
district that has existing single family homes to the west, east and south. The previous
approval for the site (SUP-45488 and SDR-45489) included a Church/House of Worship
building with a pitched/gabled roof form similar to the surrounding residential structures.
Staff is recommending a condition of approval that the elevations be amended prior to
construction to provide a pitched/gabled roof form for this Church/House of Worship to
be compatible with the surrounding residential neighborhood.
The parking lot is designed to hold double the minimum capacity called for by Title 19.
This should prevent any overflow parking onto the adjacent streets. The parking lot also
has ample landscaping that will reduce the radiant heat from the parking lot surface.
Access is provided from both Buffalo Drive and El Parque Avenue.
There are no ancillary uses proposed with this project such as schools, food banks or
social services.

primary use.
The applicants justification letter doesnt indicate any accessory functions such
as child care facilities, formal educational programs, preschool classes or similar

The applicant is not proposing a thrift shop, homeless shelter or other similar
activities in conjunction with the proposed Church/House of Worship.
* 5. Churches on sites larger than 5 acres shall not be permitted in the U District
or a district with an R prefix.
The subject site is 2.1 acres in size, therefore the proposed Church/House of
Worship is in conformance with this requirement.
The surrounding neighborhood is primarily developed with single family dwellings. While
the proposed facility acts as a buffer of those uses from Buffalo Drive, a 100-foot-wide
Primary Arterial and the site is located at a signalized intersection; its architectural
design is not compatible with the surrounding area. The applicant is proposing a flat
roof with parapet, which is traditionally a commercial/institutional design feature; while
the surrounding residential structures feature pitched/gabled roof structures. As such,
staff recommends denial of the applications. If approved, a condition of approval
specifically requires revised building elevations to provide a pitched/gabled roof form.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing to develop a parking lot on a vacant lot adjacent to their
existing commercial/industrial facility at 3065 North Rancho Drive to provide automobile
storage to their clients.
ISSUES
To assure that the proposed lot continues to comply with the UDC, staff is
recommending a condition of approval that specifically prohibits the rental, repair, or
sales of vehicles on the subject property.
ANALYSIS
The proposed development will provide storage for personal automobiles in association
with the facility on the parcel to the west. As it is intended for standard automobiles it
was designed in conformance with the standards for a commercial parking lot per Title
19.08. The perimeter is screened from view with a block wall on the north, east and
south sides, with the west side open to the existing facility to the west.
This property is being designed and developed specifically for standard personal
automobiles storage and as such a condition of approval is recommended that prohibits
the rental, repair or sale of vehicles on this property.
PB
SUP-69617 and SDR-69618 [PRJ-69582]
Staff Report Page Two
May 9, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The landscape plan depicts planter fingers for every six parking spaces with shade
trees and shrubbery. The only required perimeter landscaping for the property is on the
north property line as all other areas are within the Cheyenne Rancho Professional
Plaza commercial subdivision. The applicant has requested a waiver to reduce the
required perimeter landscaping on the north property line from eight feet down to three
feet in width, and that would include an exception to allow reduced landscape materials
providing two trees in the perimeter landscape buffer instead of the required four trees.
The adjacent parcel to the north is developed with a commercial shopping center and
this portion of the site is the loading/service area of the property so reducing
landscaping will have minimal impact on the adjacent use. Staff therefore supports the
waiver for perimeter landscaping.
The Mini-Storage Facility use is defined as A facility with enclosed storage space,
divided into separate compartments no larger than 500 square feet in size, which is
provided for use by individuals to store personal items or by businesses to store
materials for operation of a business establishment. The proposed use meets the
definition because it will be operated in conjunction with an existing facility to the west
and will allow the storage of personal automobiles.
There are no Minimum Special Use Requirements listed for a Mini-Storage Facility in
title 19.12.
The proposed vehicle storage lot will essentially provide vehicle storage in the form of a
commercial parking lot in conjunction with the existing facility to the west. As such, all
proposed improvements are designed in conformance with Title 19.08 standards (with
the exception of a waiver request for perimeter landscaping on the north property line).
Therefore, the use is appropriate for the area which is developed with a mix of
commercial and light industrial uses. Staff recommends approval of the Special Use
Permit (SUP-69617) and Site Development Plan Review (SDR-69618) with conditions;
including a specific prohibition of the rental, repair, or sale of vehicles on this property.
FINDINGS (SUP-69617)
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:
PB

harmonious and compatible with the surrounding commercial and light industrial
uses.

The subject site is accessed from Rancho Drive, a 120-foot-wide Primary Arterial,
and is more than adequate for the proposed use.
4. Approval of the Special Use Permit at the site in question will not be
inconsistent with or compromise the public health, safety, and welfare or
the overall objectives of the General Plan.
The public health, safety and welfare will be guaranteed by building permit review
and construction inspection.
5. The use meets all of the applicable conditions per Title 19.12.
Title 19.12 does not include specific conditions for a Mini-Storage Facility Special
Use Permit.

via a private, internal roadway and is more than adequate for the proposed use.
The internal circulation will allow all necessary movements on site and will not
negatively impact roadways or traffic.
4. Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the
City;
The proposed vehicle storage will be screened from view by a six-foot-tall block

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing to operate two Short-Term Residential Rental uses within the
existing single-family dwelling and the existing guest house at 1640 Arville Street.
ISSUES
The applicant is requesting for two Special Use Permit applications to allow the
proposed Short-Term Residential Rental use to be located within the primary
dwelling and the guest house.
Pursuant to Title 19.12, a Short-Term Residential Rental use is permitted in the
R-E (Residence Estates) zoning district as a Conditional Use, but requires a 660-
foot separation from a similar use.
Two Special Use Permits with Waivers to allow a zero-foot distance separation
from a similar use where 660 feet are required for the proposed Short-Term
Residential Rental uses. Staff does not support this request.
ANALYSIS
A Short-Term Residential Rental use is permitted in the R-E (Residence Estates) zoning
district as a Conditional Use. However, since the proposed use does not meet the
Conditional Use Regulations, a Special Use Permit is required. As such, the following
analysis is required:
RG
SUP-69679 and SUP-69680 [PRJ-69466]
Staff Report Page Two
May 9, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The Short-Term Residential Rental use is defined as The commercial use, or the
making available for commercial use, of a residential dwelling unit for dwelling, lodging
or sleeping purposes, wherein any individual guest rents or occupies the unit for a
period of less than 31 consecutive calendar days. This use does not include a
Community Residence, Facility for Transitional Living for Released Offenders, or any
other facility with dwelling units that is specifically defined in Chapter 19.18. The
applicants justification letter date stamped on 04/19/17 states that the two units will be
used to house guest for not more than 30 days.
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for both Short-Term Residential Rental
uses include:
If this Special Use Permit is approved, the applicant will be required to obtain a
business license.
2. The use must comply on an ongoing basis with all governmental licensing and
regulatory requirements, including the payment of applicable room taxes and
licensing fees.
3. The use must comply with the Citys noise regulations as they apply to residential
uses.
If this use violates the Citys noise regulations, neighbors or members of the
public can file a complaint to the Code Enforcement Division, which would result
in enforcement action.
4. Vehicle parking associated with the use shall comply with applicable parking
regulations, and vehicles of guests and invitees shall not obstruct traffic or
access to other properties in the area.
If the parking regulations are violated or, if traffic is obstructed to other properties,
the public can either call the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department or the
Business License Division for non-compliance of business license requirements.
RG
SUP-69679 and SUP-69680 [PRJ-69466]
Staff Report Page Three
May 9, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
This application, if approved, will be subject to annual review for compliance with
the Special Use Permits by the Department of Planning.
6. The use may not be located closer than 660 feet to any other Short-Term
Residential Rental use (measured from property line to property line).
7. The maximum occupancy of the residential dwelling unit shall not exceed the
limits provided for in LVMC 6.75.090.
Business License will conduct compliance inspections once the business license
is approved.
The proposed Short-Term Residential Rental uses would not be compatible with the
surrounding residential uses due to the existing similar use that is currently licensed
within zero feet of the subject property. Approval of the two Special Use Permit
applications would result in a land use similar to a Commercial Hotel/Motel use;
therefore, staff recommends denial, if these applications are approved, they are subject
to conditions.
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:
RG
SUP-69679 and SUP-69680 [PRJ-69466]
Staff Report Page Four
May 9, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The proposed land use cannot be conducted in a manner that is harmonious and
compatible with the existing surrounding land uses due to the waiver requests of
zero-foot distance separation from similar use from an adjacent property and the
proposed use on the subject site. Approval of the two Special Use Permit
applications would result in a land use similar to a Commercial Hotel/Motel use.
2. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use
proposed.
The subject site is physically suitable for use as a Short-Term Residential Rental,
but not at the intensity proposed.
The facility can be accessed from Arville Street, a 60-foot wide local street, which
is adequate for the use proposed.
4. Approval of the Special Use Permit at the site in question will not be
inconsistent with or compromise the public health, safety, and welfare or
the overall objectives of the General Plan.
The approval of the Special Use Permits on this subject property will be subject to
condition of approval, business license approval, and compliance inspections to
assume it will not compromise the public health safety and welfare.
5. The use meets all of the applicable conditions per Title 19.12.
The proposed use does not meet all of the applicable conditions of Title 19.12.
Short-Term Residential Rental use may not be closer than 660 feet to any other
Short-Term Residential Rental use. The applicant is requesting a waiver to allow
zero-foot distance separation for both Short-Term Residential Rental uses.

making available for commercial use, of a residential dwelling unit for dwelling, lodging
or sleeping purposes, wherein any individual guest rents or occupies the unit for a
period of less than 31 consecutive calendar days. This use does not include a
Community Residence, Facility for Transitional Living for Released Offenders, or any

2. The use must comply on an ongoing basis with all governmental licensing and
regulatory requirements, including the payment of applicable room taxes and

If a business license is issued for the Short-Term Residential Rental use, it will
be subject to license renewal and annual compliance review to ensure that all
regulatory requirements are being met.
3. The use must comply with the Citys noise regulations as they apply to residential
uses.
If this use violates the Citys noise regulations, neighbors or members of the
public can file a complaint to the Code Enforcement Division, which could result
in a fine.
4. Vehicle parking associated with the use shall comply with applicable parking
regulations, and vehicles of guests and invitees shall not obstruct traffic or
access to other properties in the area.
If the parking regulations are violated or any traffic obstruction to other properties

license requirements.

The subject property contains a single-family dwelling and is located within the Airport
Overlay District. The proposed Short-Term Residential Rental use will not affect the
said overlay district. The applicant is requesting to permit a 197-foot distance
separation from a similar use, where 660 feet is the minimum required pursuant to Title
19.12. This application request is in response to a Code Enforcement action on
11/30/16.
A Short-Term Residential Rental use is permitted in the R-1 (Single Family Residential)
zoning district as a Conditional Use. However, since the proposed use does not meet
the Conditional Use Regulations, a Special Use Permit is required. As such, the
following analysis is required:
The Short-Term Residential Rental use is defined as The commercial use, or the
making available for commercial use, of a residential dwelling unit for dwelling, lodging
or sleeping purposes, wherein any individual guest rents or occupies the unit for a
period of less than 31 consecutive calendar days. This use does not include a
Community Residence, Facility for Transitional Living for Released Offenders, or any
other facility with dwelling units that is specifically defined in Chapter 19.18. The
applicants justification letter date stamped on 03/21/17 states that the subject site will
be used to house guests visiting the area.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing to operate a Bed and Breakfast Inn with three guest rooms
within an existing single-family dwelling at 309 Arnold Street.
ISSUES
A Bed & Breakfast Inn use is permitted in the R-1 (Single Family Residential) zoning
district with the approval of a Special Use Permit.
A Waiver request of Title 19.12 is needed, to permit guest parking spaces to not be
screened where a six-foot tall fence or dense landscaping is required. Staff
recommends denial of this request.
A Waiver request of Title 19.12 is needed, to permit the use to be accessed from a
39-foot right-of-way where 50 feet is required. Staff recommends denial of this
request.
A Code Enforcement case (#174907) was processed for a non-licensed Short-Term
Rental at 309 Arnold Street. The case has not been resolved.
ANALYSIS
The subject property is a developed single-family residence. The Bed & Breakfast Inn
use is defined as A facility wherein overnight accommodations and a morning meal are
provided in a dwelling unit to tourists for compensation. The proposed use meets the
definition as the applicant will host tourists for compensation to stay at the subject
property.
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include:
1. The establishment must have a minimum of two and a maximum of five guest
bedrooms.
The applicant is requesting to utilize three guest bedrooms on the subject site,
which complies with this requirement.
2. Required on-site parking for guest bedrooms shall be screened by a 6-foot fence
or by dense landscaping.

Staff Report Page Two
May 9, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The proposed use meets this requirement as the establishment will use the
cooking facility of the existing single-family dwelling. However, the applicant has
indicated that a kitchenette will be provided in the laundry room adjacent to the
proposed guest rooms.
5. The Department of Fire and Rescue must inspect and approve the occupancy of
an establishment before it may be used as a bed and breakfast inn.
6. Individual guest occupancy is limited to no more than one month in any 3-month
period.
If this use is approved, business licensing will require that the use be in
conformance with this requirement
If this use is approved, business licensing will require that no other sale or
display of merchandise or other commodities will take place in connection with
the proposed use.

9. Not more than one on premise sign shall be permitted. With respect to that sign:
a. The copy may contain only the name and address of the establishment.
b. The sign may not exceed 3 square feet in size or 4 feet in height.
d. Any sign illumination must be exterior to the sign and must be shielded so
as not to produce glare upon an adjacent property or a public right of way.
e. The design materials and colors of the sign must be compatible with the
architectural style of the dwelling.
The proposed use meets requirement, as there is no signage proposed for this
proposed use.
The proposed Bed & Breakfast Inn use will not be compatible with the surrounding
residential uses due the waiver requests. The requirements that guest parking spaces
be screened by a six-foot tall fence or dense landscaping and the use to be accessed
from a 50-foot right-of-way are designed to minimize the negative impacts of a
commercial use in a residential district. In addition, the use will be located within 660
feet of two approved Short-Term Residential Rental uses. While there is no requirement
for distance separation for the Bed and Breakfast use, the Short-Term Residential
Rental use is similar and requires a 660-foot separation from other rental uses. The
establishment of this commercial use of a single family residence at the proposed
location is too intense for the surrounding residential uses. Therefore, staff recommends
denial. If this application is approved, it is subject to conditions.
FINDINGS (SUP-69676)
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:

May 9, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The proposed land use cannot be conducted in a manner that is harmonious and
compatible with the existing surrounding land uses due to the Waiver requests to
allow guest parking spaces to not be screened where a six-foot tall fence or dense
landscaping is required and to allow the use to be accessed from a 39-foot right-
of-way where 50 feet is required. In addition, the use will be located in a
residential subdivision, within 660 feet of two approved Short-Term Residential
Rental uses. Staff does not support the Waiver requests.
2. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use
proposed.
The subject site is not physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use
proposed due to the waiver requests to allow guest parking spaces to not be
screened where a six-foot tall fence or dense landscaping is required and to allow
the use to be accessed from a 39-foot right-of-way where 50 feet is required. Staff
does not support the Waiver requests.
The site is accessed from Arnold Street, which is classified as a 39-foot Local
Street. This right-of-way width does not comply with Title 19.12 requirements (#3)
for the proposed Bed and Breakfast Inn use, which requires that access to the
parcel on which the establishment is located must be by means of a paved street
with a right of way width of at least 50 feet. The applicant has requested a Waiver
of this requirement. Staff does not support the Waiver requests.
4. Approval of the Special Use Permit at the site in question will not be
inconsistent with or compromise the public health, safety, and welfare or
the overall objectives of the General Plan.
The approval of the Special Use Permit on this subject property will be subject to
condition of approval and business license approval and compliance. The
Department of Fire and Rescue must inspect and approve the occupancy of an
establishment before it may be used as a bed and breakfast inn.
5. The use meets all of the applicable conditions per Title 19.12.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a Site Development Plan Review for a parking lot expansion at an
existing Church/House of Worship located at 6350 North Fort Apache Road.
ISSUES
ANALYSIS
The applicant is proposing to construct a 179 space parking lot on the northeast portion
of an 8.27 acre site located at 6350 North Fort Apache Road. The site currently consists
of a Church/House of Worship with a parking lot that accommodates 237 standard
parking stalls with 16 handicap parking spaces. The proposed addition will bring those
totals to 390 standard parking stalls and 26 handicap stalls for a total of 416 parking
spaces.
As stated in the justification letter, the Parish experiences times when the parking need
exceedsits current facility and overflow parking occurs on the street. In addition, the
Parish would like to have an outdoor space where special events could occur and
shade would be provided via temporary shade structures.
On December 21, 2016, the City of Las Vegas entered into an Interlocal Agreement with
the County of Clark to create a framework for future growth in the northwest portion of
the Las Vegas valley by establishing mutually acceptable growth strategies. The subject
NE
SDR-69505 [PRJ-69494]
Staff Report Page Two
May 9, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
site is within Planning Area B of this Interlocal Agreement. For Planning Area B
locations within the City limits, during the term of this agreement, the areas identified as
Planning Area B must remain residential and maintain a minimum buildable lot size of
10,000 square feet and the City must not amend its land use plan, rezone such
properties or approve special or conditional use permits to allow industrial or
commercial uses or residential lots with a buildable area of less than 10,000 square feet
within the areas identified as Planning Area B. The Interlocal Agreement is set to expire
on its tenth anniversary, December 21, 2026.
The subject site was approved by the County of Clark, Planning Commission on March
18, 2014 as a Use Permit (UC-0854-13) for a 15,650 square-foot place of worship
(Parish Hall) situated on the western portion of a 10.10 acre site. At the time of
approval, the Church/House of Worship provided 252 parking spaces where 160
parking spaces was the minimum required.
FINDINGS (SDR-69505)
In order to approve a Site Development Plan Review application, per Title 19.16.100(E)
the Planning Commission and/or City Council must affirm the following:
NE
SDR-69505 [PRJ-69494]
Staff Report Page Three
May 9, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
2. The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan, this Title,
the Design Standards Manual, the Landscape, Wall and Buffer Standards,
and other duly-adopted city plans, policies and standards;
The proposed parking lot addition is consistent with the General Plan, but does
not meet the minimum development standards for a parking lot set forth by Title
19.08. The applicant has requested an Exception to allow fewer trees than what
Title 19.08 requires. Staff supports this request.
Site access will remain, as the parking lot addition will continue the design pattern
established by the previously constructed parking areas. Access to the new
parking lot addition will mirror the existing access to the parking lot west of the
subject site and will not negatively impact the adjacent roadway.
4. Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the
City;
The landscape materials proposed include Shoestring Acacia trees and Deer
Grass shrubs. All of the landscape materials proposed are appropriate for the
City, and a desert climate.
The proposed parking lot expansion is configured to duplicate the current patterns
established by the previously constructed parking lot areas to the west and
southwest of the subject site and creates an orderly and aesthetically pleasing
environment.
6. Appropriate measures are taken to secure and protect the public health,
safety and general welfare.
The subject parking lot expansion is currently under plan review with the
Department of Building & Safety, and if approved, will be subject to regular site
inspections during the construction phase to ensure safety and general welfare of
the public.
