ANALYSIS
The original 45,550 square-foot elementary school was constructed in 1965 at 5701 Stacey
Avenue. In 1998, the City Council approved a Plot Plan Review (Z-0053-98) for an 8,033

Staff Report Page Six
square-foot expansion. Additionally, the subject site consists of ten modular buildings totaling
14.400 square feet, bringing the total space dedicated to the school to 67,983 square feet. The
combination of existing buildings and modular buildings provide 56 classrooms, office space, a
library, multi-purpose room, teachers lounge, kitchen and restrooms.
In May of 2015, the Department of Planning administratively approved a Site Development Plan
Review (SDR-58865) to eliminate seven of the modular buildings (totaling 10,080 square feet of
space). The seven modular buildings would be replaced with a proposed 14,710 square-foot
building consisting of 14 classrooms and two restroom facilities. The current proposal eliminates
seven modular buildings building and provides 18 classrooms within a 19,972 square-foot
building. The total number of classroom increases from 56 to 62. According to Title 19.16, an
increase in the maximum density, floor area, or height by more than 10% requires a public
hearing. This application represents 45 percent increase in size from Plot Plan Review (Z-005398) and thus requires a Major Amendment. If Site Development Plan Review (SDR-61069) is
approved a Condition of Approval has been added to expunged SDR-58865, as it is no longer
needed.
The proposed single-story building will be constructed on the northeast corner of the subject site,
within an existing outdoor recreation field. The recreation field would relocate to the southeast
corner to accommodate the new structure. The submitted elevations depict a single-story
building consisting primarily of a painted CMU exterior with metal accents. Consistent
architectural details are proposed on all sides of the building. Windows are provided at regular
intervals. The proposed building height will be well under the 105-foot restriction of the Airport
Overlay District.
Pursuant to Title 19.10.020(E)(2), property in the C-V District adjacent to residential uses in the
U, R-E, R-D, R-1, R-SL, R-CL and R-2 Districts shall be subject to the height standards of
LVMC 19.06.060. The subject site is adjacent to an R-1 (Single Family Residential) zoning
designation to the north and east. The building height restrictions for development the C-V zone
is limited to the height of a building in R-E (Residence Estates) zoning district, which is 35 feet.
The structure is at 19 feet, 4 inches. The proposed development is not subject to the residential
adjacency standards as outlined by Title 19.08.040(H); however, if residential adjacency
requirements were applied the proposed building would need a minimum setback of 58 feet from
the R-1 (Single Family Residential) zoned properties.
The site is parking impaired. This proposal increases the required parking demand by 18 parking
spaces; however, the proposed parking lot will create 23 additional spaces. This proposal
decreases the impairment.
According to the submitted landscape plan, the applicant will provide parking lot landscaping
within the parking lot. The proposal includes 24-inch box trees for every six parking spaces, four
five-gallon shrubs per tree, and two inches of ground cover. In addition to the parking lot trees,
MR
SDR-61069 [PRJ-60644]
Staff Report Page Seven
the applicant is proposing a 30-foot wide landscape buffer along the east property line, adjacent
to the parking lot. Concern was expressed that the existing mature trees along the north and east
property lines be retained. Two Exceptions are required to allow reduced landscape material
along the north and east property lines. Specifically, this request is to allow 17, 24-inch box trees
or larger where 28, 24-inch box trees are required. The provided landscape plan is short 11 trees
along the north and east property lines; however, nine mature trees have been saved. These trees
and the proposed vegetation will provide a sufficient buffer. A Condition of Approval has been
added to ensure the nine mature trees are saved. Also the applicant needs an Exception to reduce
the number of parking lot finger trees from ten to seven. Staff supports the requested Exceptions,
as they are minor in nature.
The proposed development does not require any Variances or Waivers and only a few
exceptions. Most of the project has been designed to adhere to Title 19 requirements. The
proposed expansion will not have a negative impact on the surrounding neighborhood; therefore,
staff recommends approval of this application.
FINDINGS (SDR-61069)
In order to approve a Site Development Plan Review application, per Title 19.16.100(E) the
Planning Commission and/or City Council must affirm the following:
1.
The proposed development is compatible with adjacent development and

development in the area;
The proposed 19,972 square-foot building would replace seven existing modular buildings.
The modular buildings are plain and box-like in appearance. The design characteristics of
the proposed building are more compatible with the existing buildings on-site and
buildings found within the surrounding neighborhood than the modular buildings.
Furthermore, the applicant has provided additional landscaping in the form of a 30-foot
wide landscape buffer along the east property line and eight additional 24-inch box trees to
provide additional visual relief from the existing single-family residences to the east. The
existing school is consistent with the surrounding residential uses.
2.
The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan, this Title, the Design
Standards Manual, the Landscape, Wall and Buffer Standards, and other dulyadopted city plans, policies and standards;
The proposed expansion will increase the existing school building size by 45 percent. The
development is consistent with the General Plan and conforms to most of the C-V (Civic)
district requirements, as required by Title 19.10.020.
3.
Site access and circulation do not negatively impact adjacent roadways or

neighborhood traffic;
MR
SDR-61069 [PRJ-60644]
Staff Report Page Eight
Access to the site is provided by Stacey Avenue and Winwood Avenue. Both roadways
are Local Streets, as classified by the Master Plan of Streets and Highways. The roadways
will continue to be adequate to meet the needs of the school use.
4.
Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the City;
The materials used for construction of the proposed expansion are typical for those used
for other institutional uses in Las Vegas. The proposed vegetation and existing mature
trees are appropriately used along the perimeter of the site and in the proposed parking lot.
5.
Building elevations, design characteristics and other architectural and aesthetic

features are not unsightly, undesirable, or obnoxious in appearance; create an
orderly and aesthetically pleasing environment; and are harmonious and compatible
with development in the area;
The submitted elevations show an aesthetically pleasing building with variations in
exterior color, materials, rooflines and wall planes. The design characteristics are
compatible with other existing buildings, surrounding neighborhood, and the proposed
structure is a vast improvement from the existing modular buildings on the subject site.
6.
Appropriate measures are taken to secure and protect the public health, safety and
general welfare.
All improvements will be subject to inspection and final approval by the Clark County
School District (CCSD) Building Department Inspection Services and the State of Nevada
Public Works Division.

ANALYSIS
The site is located within the Las Vegas Redevelopment Plan Area and is utilized as a
commercial land use. All existing structures on the site meet the Title 19 requirements for the C2 (General Commercial) zoning district.
Access to the site is provided from three driveways off of Bonanza Road and Encanto Drive. As
the site is partially developed, some grading and drainage has already taken place and will not be
an issue. Site circulation is logical throughout the site and will be unaffected by mapping.
Currently, Site Development Plan Review (SDR-19659) and its associated land use entitlements,
which propose expansion of the existing multi-family residential/single room occupancy
establishment on the subject site, were granted a fourth extension of time (EOT-60259 through
60264 and 60266) at the 09/02/15 City Council Meeting. The extensions of time expire on
09/02/16.
Parking and access is intended to be allowed across the site. A condition of approval will require
the final map to state that common perpetual access and parking will be granted across the entire
proposed commercial subdivision.

ANALYSIS
A Tavern-Limited Establishment is described in Title 19.12 as: An establishment that is
licensed with a tavern-limited license in accordance with LVMC Chapter 6.50. There are no
Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use. This use is permitted in the C-2
(General Commercial) zoning district with an approved Special Use Permit.
This project is located within the Downtown Centennial Plan Fremont East District within a
proposed 3,250 square-foot tenant space with 300 square feet of outdoor seating area. The
outdoor seating area is located along Fremont Street and is subject to the approval of an
encroachment agreement. The applicant has indicated that the proposed establishment will have
a Classic American theme, serving artisanal handcrafted libations and associated classic
cocktail themed drinks.
This project is located on Fremont Street with ample parking for the proposed use provided by
nearby public parking lots within one block of the establishment and public parking meters
located on all surrounding streets. The project is located within the Downtown Centennial Plan
area which allows for no automatic application of standard parking requirements.
The Las Vegas Valley Water District had the following comment concerning this request: This
parcel is currently served but does not have the required backflow prevention pre NAC
445A.67195. Backflow retrofit is required at this time.
Staff recommends approval of the proposed Special Use Permit, with conditions, as this
proposed development specifically meets the goals of Las Vegas Downtown Centennial PlanEast Village District by providing new opportunities for commercial ventures.
FINDINGS (SUP-61347)

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a Special Use Permit for a proposed 2,892 square-foot Massage
Establishment at 600 Fremont Street. The proposed Massage Establishment would locate within
a second-floor tenant space at the existing El Cortez Casino. The proposed space is currently
utilized as a banquet facility. The massage establishment use is consistent with the Downtown
Centennial Plan and Title 19 with the exception of hours of operation requirements. Specifically,
the Massage Establishment would like to operate on a 24-hour basis where Title 19 limits the use
between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. The applicant is requesting a Waiver to address
the issue. Staff can support the request, as the existing El Cortez Casino already operates on a 24
hour basis. The proposed Massage Establishment use is considered accessory to the primary
casino use and allowing the hours of operation to match existing conditions would have a
negligible effect on the surrounding neighborhood. For these reasons, staff recommends approval
of the proposed Special Use Permit. If denied, the Massage Establishment could not operate
within the El Cortez Casino.

ANALYSIS
The Massage Establishment use is defined by Title 19.18 as: A facility which is occupied and
used for the purpose of practicing massage therapy as defined in LVMC Chapter 6.52. This use
does not include the use accessory massage, as defined in this Title. This request is for a
proposed 2,892 square-foot Massage Establishment. The Minimum Special Use Permit
Requirements for this use include:
1. The use shall comply with all applicable requirements of LVMC Title 6.
The proposed use meets this requirement, as a condition of approval has been added
requiring compliance with all applicable LVMC Title 6 requirements.
2. The use must be located on a secondary thoroughfare or larger.
The proposed use meets this requirement, as the subject site is located along Fremont
Street, Ogden Avenue, 6th Street and 7th Street, all of which are 80-foot wide Major
Collectors as indicated on the Master Plan of Streets and Highways.
GK
SUP-61348 [PRJ-61281]
3. The use may not be located within 400 feet of any church/house of worship, school, City
park, individual care center licensed for more than 12 children, or any parcel zoned for
residential use.
The proposed use meets this requirement, as there are no protected uses within 400 feet
of the subject site.
4. The use may not be located within 1,000 feet of any other massage establishment.
The proposed use meets this requirement, as there are no other massage establishments
located within 1,000 feet of the subject property.
5. The hours of operation shall be limited to the period between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.,
unless further limited by the City Council on a case-by-case basis.
The proposed use does not meet this requirement; as the applicant has indicated in the
submitted justification letter that the Massage Establishment is proposing a 24 hour
operation.
The proposed Massage Establishment would locate within a second-floor tenant space at the
existing El Cortez Casino. The proposed space is currently utilized as a banquet facility.
According to the applicants justification letter and floor plan, the proposed use will offer
reflexology and massage services to customers. The 2,892 square-foot area will consist of 28
massage chairs and a reception area located within two open rooms. The proposed use meets all
minimum Downtown Centennial Plan and Title 19 requirements with the exception of hours of
operation. Specifically, the Massage Establishment would like to operate on a 24-hour basis
where Title 19 limits the use between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. The applicant is
requesting a Waiver to address the issue. Staff can support the request, as the existing El Cortez
Casino already operates on a 24 hour basis. The proposed Massage Establishment use is
considered accessory to the primary casino use and allowing the hours of operation to match
existing conditions would have a negligible effect on the surrounding neighborhood. For these
reasons, staff recommends approval of the proposed Special Use Permit.

ANALYSIS
The subject tavern is located at 11760 West Charleston Boulevard within the P-C (Planned
Community) zoning district and the VC (Village Center) Summerlin Land Use designation.
Condition of Approval Number One limits the hours of operation from 10 a.m. to 3 a.m. daily.
The applicant would like for the business to be open 24 hours a day. Condition Number One was
offered by the applicants representative during the Planning Commission meeting on 08/05/12
without discussion. The neighborhood and economic time haves changed and the applicant
would like to offer their customers 24 hours a day, seven days a week service. The applicant
indicates that the Tavern at 11770 West Charleston, Suite #110 (John Cutters) operates seven
days a week, 24 hours a day and the applicant would like to match the same hours. A field check
on 09/24/15 revealed that the hours for John Cutters is 11 a.m. to 2:30 a.m. or later. The request
to remove the hour restriction is consistent with the shopping center, the surrounding
neighborhood and should not adversely affect the surrounding area; therefore, staff recommends
approval of this request with conditions.
FINDINGS
The Special Use Permit (SUP-44665) for the subject Tavern use was approved in 2012 with the
subject condition offered by the applicant. Removal of Condition Number One is consistent with the
existing shopping center, and the extended hours will not have a negative effect on the
neighborhood or surrounding community. For these reasons, staff recommends approval of this
request.

ANALYSIS
This applicant requests that the City of Las Vegas relinquish its interest in Public Drainage
Easements associated with Assessors Parcel Number 137-12-410-011, generally located north
of Cliff Shadow Parkway and west of Novat Street. This Vacation request should be sent to all
the utilities; however, as no right-of-way is proposed to be vacated, and thus no franchise rights
are involved, it is not necessary to wait for responses from any of the public utilities. Since only
City interests are involved, any utility company interests will need to be addressed with each
respective utility company and will not be affected by the City relinquishing its interest.
FINDINGS (VAC-61193)
Staff has no objection to the Vacation of these Public Drainage Easements, as new ones will be
dedicated with future development; therefore, staff recommends approval with conditions.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes Section 279, the applicant is presenting a Preliminary Plan
for expansion of the Citys original redevelopment area (Redevelopment Area 1) into three
general areas on 480 acres. The purpose of the expansion is to slow and prevent blight and
disinvestment in the proposed areas through the development of programs and allocation of
financial resources.
Expansion Area A (Medical District) consists of 169 parcels generally located north of
Charleston Boulevard and west of Martin L. King Boulevard. These parcels contain primarily
office and medical uses.
Expansion Area B (Infill Area) consists of 636 parcels generally located within two clusters:
(1) North of Washington Avenue, south of Owens Avenue, east of Interstate 15 and west of
Las Vegas Boulevard; and
(2) North of McWilliams Avenue, south of Gold Avenue, east of N Street and west of D
Street.
These parcels contain predominately single and multi-family residential uses.
Expansion Area C (Sahara Avenue and Maryland Parkway) consists of 97 parcels generally
located along the Sahara Avenue corridor between Paradise Road and Maryland Parkway, and
along the Maryland Parkway corridor between Charleston Boulevard and Sahara Avenue. These
parcels contain a mix of single-family residential, commercial and civic uses.
The Preliminary Plan contains a blight study that defines blighted areas, documents blight
indicators and concludes that the proposed area is blighted. The affected parcels are located
within fully improved portions of the city with adequate infrastructure in place. The land use
designations of these parcels are not proposed to be changed at this time.
As conditions per state law pertaining to the creation of a redevelopment area are demonstrated
to be met, staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Plan. If denied, a new redevelopment
area could not be created.
The City Council adopted the Las Vegas Redevelopment Plan (Ordinance
03/05/86
#3218) and established the boundaries of the Downtown Redevelopment
Area.

ANALYSIS
Nevada Revised Statutes Section 279.516 defines two prerequisites for formation of a new
redevelopment area. The community must have a planning commission and a master plan. The
Planning Commission serves under the auspices of the City Council as established under the
Citys charter. The Las Vegas 2020 Master Plan is the citys current long range plan for
development of the city. NRS requires that the master plan contain the following:

Once a redevelopment area is established, the Las Vegas Redevelopment Agency may use its
powers as defined by NRS Section 279 to aid in the redevelopment of properties for public
purposes within the boundaries of the redevelopment area.
SS
DIR-61099 [PRJ-61623]
A Blighted Area is defined in NRS 279.388 as an area containing at least four of the following
factors:
x The existence of buildings and structures, used or intended to be used for residential,
commercial, industrial or other purposes, or any combination thereof, which are unfit or
unsafe for those purposes and are conducive to ill health, transmission of disease, infant
mortality, juvenile delinquency or crime because of one or more of the following factors:
o Defective design and character of physical construction.
o Faulty arrangement of the interior and spacing of buildings.
o Inadequate provision for ventilation, light, sanitation, open spaces and
recreational facilities.
o Age, obsolescence, deterioration, dilapidation, mixed character or shifting of uses.
x An economic dislocation, deterioration or disuse.
x The subdividing and sale of lots of irregular form and shape and inadequate size for
proper usefulness and development.
x The laying out of lots in disregard of the contours and other physical characteristics of the
ground and surrounding conditions.
x The existence of inadequate streets, open spaces and utilities.
x The existence of lots or other areas which may be submerged.
x Prevalence of depreciated values, impaired investments and social and economic
maladjustment to such an extent that the capacity to pay taxes is substantially reduced
and tax receipts are inadequate for the cost of public services rendered.
x A growing or total lack of proper utilization of some parts of the area, resulting in a
stagnant and unproductive condition of land which is potentially useful and valuable for
contributing to the public health, safety and welfare.
x A loss of population and a reduction of proper use of some parts of the area, resulting in
its further deterioration and added costs to the taxpayer for the creation of new public
facilities and services elsewhere.
x The environmental contamination of buildings or property.
x The existence of an abandoned mine.
The accompanying blight study documents areas of blight through field surveys, U.S. Census
data, Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) and interviews with city staff and public
officials.
FINDINGS
NRS 279.526 describes the conditions by which a Preliminary Plan for the redevelopment of a
certain area of the city may be sufficient:
x It describes the boundaries of the redevelopment area;
x Contains a general statement of the uses of the land, layout of principal streets, densities
of population and intensities and standards of building proposed for the redevelopment of
the area;

Shows that the proposed redevelopment conforms to the master or general plan for the
community.
The boundaries of the proposed redevelopment expansion area, the goals of redevelopment and
proposed redevelopment activities and land use assessment are detailed within the accompanying
Redevelopment Plan document.
As conditions per state law are met pertaining to the creation of a new redevelopment area are
demonstrated and the land use designations proposed to be changed are appropriate and

DEFINITION OF BLIGHT
The rationale behind the State of Nevada enabling laws to create redevelopment agencies resides in NRS
279.416-420. These statutes describe conditions of blight and deterioration that, if prevalent, constitute a
menace to the health, safety and welfare of communities. Conditions of blight as delineated in NRS 279.388
are reprinted, verbatim in the box below.
1.
Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2, blighted area means an area which is characterized by
at least four of the following factors:
(a) The existence of buildings and structures, used or intended to be used for residential,
commercial, industrial or other purposes, or any combination thereof, which are unfit or unsafe for
those purposes and are conducive to ill health, transmission of disease, infant mortality, juvenile
delinquency or crime because of one or more of the following factors:
1) Defective design and character of physical construction.
2) Faulty arrangement of the interior and spacing of buildings.
3) Inadequate provision for ventilation, light, sanitation, open spaces and recreation facilities.
4) Age, obsolescence, deterioration, dilapidation, mixed character or shifting of uses.
(b) An economic dislocation, deterioration or disuse.
(c) The subdividing and sale of lots of irregular form and shape and inadequate size for proper
usefulness and development.
(d) The laying out of lots in disregard of the contours and other physical characteristics of the ground
and surrounding conditions.
(e) The existence of inadequate streets, open spaces and utilities.
(f) The existence of lots or other areas which may be submerged.
(g) Prevalence of depreciated values, impaired investments and social and economic maladjustment
to such an extent that the capacity to pay taxes is substantially reduced and tax receipts are
inadequate for the cost of public services rendered.
(h) A growing or total lack of proper utilization of some parts of the area, resulting in a stagnant and
unproductive condition of land which is potentially useful and valuable for contributing to the
public health, safety and welfare.
(i) A loss of population and a reduction of proper use of some parts of the area, resulting in its
further deterioration and added costs to the taxpayer for the creation of new public facilities and
services elsewhere.
(j) The environmental contamination of buildings or property.
(k) The existence of an abandoned mine.
Finally, NRS 279.519 states that a redevelopment area need not be restricted to only those building
improvements or lands which are detrimental or inimical to the public health, safety or welfare, but may
consist of an area in which such conditions predominate and injuriously affect the entire area. Furthermore, a
redevelopment area may include, in addition to blighted areas, lands, buildings or improvements which are not
detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, but whose inclusion is found necessary for the effective
redevelopment of the area of which they are a part. These criteria are critical for the City of Las Vegas
Redevelopment Agency as the redevelopment area contains parcels which do not appear to have significant
decline or deterioration. However, these parcels are threatened by other parcels which exhibit a variety of
conditions of blight including deterioration, safety hazards, economic maladjustment, depreciating property
values, stagnant population and the unproductive use of land.
This Blight Study is a component of the documentation required for an expansion of Redevelopment Area 1
within the City of Las Vegas.

APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY

With the legal definition of blight clearly described, it is necessary to demonstrate how, and where, these
conditions exist. To accomplish this, a common sense interpretation of the individual blight statutes has been
provided. In turn, specific examples of blight located within the City of Las Vegas Redevelopment Area were
identified and compared to the interpretations, thereby clearly documenting the extent of blight. For ease of
understanding, the format used is to:
1. List the legal blight factor as defined by NRS;
2. List the common sense interpretation;
3. Provide the specific examples which demonstrate these characteristics.
Both primary and secondary data sources were used to quantify existing conditions in the proposed
redevelopment area. The primary method for evaluating the existence and prevalence of conditions that
characterize blight were video/photographic field surveys of existing physical conditions. These field surveys
were conducted in July 2015 and September 2015.
Parcels within the proposed Redevelopment Area were analyzed individually and collectively and both physical
and economic blight indicators were observed in the field surveys. These blight indicators include inadequate
streets, flood prone conditions, deterioration and dilapidation of structures, age and obsolescence, population
stagnation, and economic maladjustment. Secondary data sources include U.S. Census Bureau records, ESRI,
NeighborhoodScout.com and interviews with City of Las Vegas staff and public officials. Finally, video and
numerous pictures of blighted parcels were taken in order to provide a permanent, visual record of the extent
of decline and deterioration.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED REDEVELOPMENT AREA EXPANSION
The proposed Redevelopment Area Expansion (Expansion Area) can be divided into three (3) distinct Areas:
1. Expansion Area A Medical District (Wards 1 & 5)
2. Expansion Area B Infill Area (Ward 5)
3. Expansion Area C Sahara Avenue & Maryland Parkway (Ward 3)
1. Expansion Area A can be generally described in the following manner:
Those parcels of land lying north of West Charleston Boulevard, bounded by Tonopah Drive on the
west and Martin L. King Boulevard on the east and south of Alta Drive, with the inclusion of two
parcels that are located north of Alta Drive, bounded by Shadow Lane on the west and the Las Vegas
Metropolitan Police Department Headquarters at 400 South Martin Luther King Boulevard.
This area is can be identified as the Medical District. It consists of numerous medical oriented
businesses and medical institutions, such as UMC (University Medical Center); Valley Hospital; Clark
County Medical Examiner; UNLV School of Dentistry; and the future home to the UNLV Medical School.
It can be characterized as being an area that has a dated architectural style, nor a definitive identity.
This area consists of 169 parcels. Ninety-nine percent (99%) of the parcels are zoned as Planned
Development (P-D). Development within this Planned Development can be High Density Residential
(HD); Professional Office (P-OC); Service Commercial (SC; Medical Support (MD-1); and Major Medical
(MD-2). These 169 parcels equate to 156 acres.
Page 4 of 86
November 3, 2015
2. Expansion Area B can be generally described in the following manner:

o
o
Those parcels of land lying north of East Washington Avenue, south of Owens Avenue, east of
Interstate 15 and west of North Las Vegas Boulevard; and,
Those parcels of land lying north of McWilliams Avenue, south of Gold Avenue, east of N
Street and west of D Street.
This area can be identified as an In-Fill Area located within Ward 5. This area was considered for
inclusion in Redevelopment Area 1 in 2005 2006, but was withdrawn at the request of a number of
community stakeholders and the Wards council representative. It is an area that is predominately
residential units and small commercial areas that serve the surrounding neighborhood. It is also
characterized as having numerous religious institutions that are located on residential property. Also
affecting this area are a number of social service providers that are clustered in Ward 5 and services all
residents of Clark County.
This area consists of 636 parcels. Eighty-nine percent (89%) of these parcels are zoned as residential
(R-1; R-2; R-3; R-4; R-5; R-MHP; and R-PD10). Four percent (4%) of these parcels are zoned commercial
(C-1 and C-2). Civic and manufacturing zoned parcels account for six percent (6%). These 636 parcels
equate to 296 acres.
3. Expansion Area C can be generally described in the following manner:
Those parcels of land lying north of Sahara Avenue, bounded by Paradise Road on the west and
Maryland Parkway on the east and Maryland Parkway (north of Sahara Avenue and south of East
Charleston Boulevard).
This area is identified as a commercial area within Ward 3 and consists of 97 parcels. Twenty-eight
percent (28%) of these parcels are zoned as commercial (C-1 or C-D). Sixty-one percent (61%) as
professional residential (P-R). Civic zoned (CV) parcels amount to three percent (3%) and residential (R1) amount to eight percent (8%). These 97 parcels equate to 28 acres.

IDENTIFICATION OF BLIGHT WITHIN THE PROPOSED EXPANSION OF REDEVELOPMENT AREA 1

As previously mentioned, this Study describes, in bold face headings, each of the specific blight factors defined
in state statutes. The interpretation of the statute appears in italics. Blighting factors in NRS 279.388 that are
not addressed in this Blight Report, due to the fact that they do not exist, nor avail themselves to evaluation,
are (j) Environmental contamination of buildings or property and (k) Existence of an abandoned mine. Finally,
the applicable data that demonstrates the existence of blight and meets the specific factor under
consideration is provided.
Unfit or Unsafe Buildings or Structures
A.
The existence of buildings and structures, used or intended to be used for residential, commercial,
industrial or other purposes, or any combination thereof, which are unfit or unsafe for those purposes
and are conducive to ill health, transmission of disease, infant mortality, juvenile delinquency or crime
because of one or more of the following factors (1-4).
This category of the law deals with the physical condition of buildings in a redevelopment area. It
includes subcategories that describe specific indicators of blight: defective design and physical
construction; faulty arrangement of interiors and spacing of buildings; overcrowding; inadequate
provisions for ventilation, light, sanitation, open spaces and recreational facilities and age and
obsolescence of structures.
Each of these categories is discussed separately, and in detail below.

Defective Design and Physical Construction
1) Defective design and character of physical construction.
Buildings of any type may suffer deterioration or disuse, or may contribute to such problems in other
buildings, because of inherent defects in their design. Such buildings can present safety hazards, be
functionally inefficient or facilitate their own deterioration. Defects may exist from the moment a given
building is completed or they may evolve as occupants attempt to accommodate change in uses within
the building or within surrounding buildings over time.
Conditions of defective design can occur in a variety of ways, and can include inappropriate exterior building
materials, or a building that is of inadequate size for the intended use, or exterior retrofit of utilities, such as
electrical and water systems. A faulty addition to a building can also be considered defective design.
To document the degree of dilapidation and where deterioration originates of the properties surveyed, field
staff surveyed the conditions of only the exteriors of structures from the public right-of-way. Two points must
be considered: 1) field staff can only examine and evaluate the most durable portions of the structure and
property, i.e. the roof, exterior walls and windows and 2) the structure may be concealing any number of
structural deficiencies, which may have a negative impact on the integrity or safety of the structure, but may
not be visible from the public right-of-way. The presence of negative conditions that may be hidden by a
more durable exterior means that conditions of deterioration may be more prevalent than indicated in this
Blight Report.
Page 7 of 86
November 3, 2015
FINDINGS
Since the deterioration couldnt be directly traced to defective design, the structures/parcels are listed in
category 4 which covers dilapidation and deterioration. Regardless of the reason for deterioration, it is
always a serious problem and has a profound impact on the likelihood of new investment and further
deterioration.
Faulty Arrangement of Interiors and Spacing of Buildings
2) Faulty arrangement of the interior and spacing of buildings
Indicators of faulty interior arrangement and spacing of buildings include inadequate setbacks and side yards
resulting in fire hazards, inadequate loading, inadequate on-site parking areas, excessive lot coverage, and
exposed outdoor storage and/or production.
Field surveys were conducted from public rights-of-way, and did not include an assessment of interior spaces.
There were no available secondary data sources for this information.
The city of Las Vegas can be considered a relatively young municipality. For the most part, recent commercial
developments are more likely to meet the required setbacks for development purposes. Older commercial
developments or structures that were once designated as residential units and are now a professional office or
service business are an indicator of blight due to inadequate on-site parking, excessive lot coverage and
problems with ingress and egress for customers and safety vehicles.
FINDINGS
Instances of this issue were found in all three proposed expansion areas. Expansion Area A is less affected
by this blighting factor, but there are areas within the Expansion Area A that impact the immediate area.
Twenty-four (24) properties front a major street (Martin Luther King Blvd.) and businesses, apartment
buildings and residential houses require residents and/or customers to pull out onto a heavily traveled
transportation corridor. Impacting this even further is the off-ramp from southbound I-15 onto MLK Blvd.
Also, a number of parcels zoned for multi-family and access to them is through an alley, creating potential
issues for safety and large commercial vehicles to access the area safely. Given that Expansion Area A is
identified as part of the Las Vegas Medical District and home to two (2) large medical facilities employing a
large number of employees, surface parking lots are spread throughout the area and negatively impact the
ability to attract development of the area.
Expansion Area B also suffers from some impact from this blighting factor. There are a number of parcels
that are identified with a land use designation as a religious institution. Some of these parcels have a
residential unit and also a small, house of worship on the property, as well as larger houses of worship that
purchased vacant lots/parcels to use as parking for their congregation. Any assemblage of parcels for
potential residential or commercial development will be difficult because there are forty-nine (49) parcels
(out of 67) in a seven (7) block area that are designated as religious institutions.
An overwhelming number of parcels in Expansion Area C are affected with this blighting factor. Fifty-nine
(59) parcels are zoned as Professional-Residential (P-R). These are former residential homes that have been
converted into business/commercial property. In total these parcels account for sixty-one percent (61%) of
the parcels in Expansion Area C. While most of those properties blight condition was given a rating of 2 or
3, these parcels are affected with limited on-site parking options, outdoor area is mainly concrete or asphalt.
Depending on sight lines from neighboring landscaping, ingress and egress from a property can be deemed
dangerous and unsafe for drivers and pedestrians. The commercial parcels fronting Sahara also suffer from
the same factors as those that are designated P-R.

November 3, 2015
Some examples of outdoor storage, which werent screened from view, were observed. These are
identified by the existence of an outdoor storage unit or a fenced in area designated for storage. Exposed
outdoor storage is a blight factor in itself, but it can also lead to additional health and safety problems and
poses a potential fire hazard to nearby residents and property owners. This was more prevalent in
Expansion Areas B and C.
3) Inadequate provision for ventilation, light, sanitation, open spaces and recreational facilities.
A typical indicator of inadequate ventilation and light includes building walls with windows placed too close
together so that air and light cannot reach the windows. Open space and recreational facilities refers to parks
and playgrounds which are inadequately maintained.
FINDINGS
There are examples of blight due to inadequate sanitation observed. Some parcels in Expansion Areas A and
B exhibited overflowing trash containers, discarded furniture and abandoned vehicles. In Expansion Area A,
this was observed at multi-family properties and a few single-family residential units. Expansion Area B had
more parcels affected with debris/trash left in vacant lots, abandoned vehicles in alleyways/driveways and
yards. Expansion Area C had fewer parcels affected with this blight condition and it was mostly contained to
those commercial parcels on Sahara Avenue. This blighting factor is a moderate problem in all three
proposed expansion areas. Increased attention by business and property owners would minimize this
blighting factor.
Recreational facilities and/or open spaces are readily available in Expansion Area B. Such facilities or open
spaces are not within a reasonable (walkable) distance within Expansion Areas A and C. As a whole, the city
of Las Vegas is deficient in providing adequate recreational and/or open spaces within its mature areas of
the city, as all three proposed expansion areas are located within this type of area.
Age, Obsolescence and Deterioration and Dilapidation Mixed Character, Shifting of Uses
4) Age, obsolescence, deterioration, dilapidation, mixed character or shifting of uses.
Age refers to buildings and structures of older construction that have not been renovated or upgraded
to: eliminate deterioration; modernize heating, ventilation, plumbing or electrical systems; or remedy
code or other legal violations or inadequacies. Obsolescence refers to an outdated building design and
layout, or site plan that is no longer useful or economically viable given present-day standards or
market needs. Such buildings may encourage marginal uses or become neglected and pose safety
hazards.
Dilapidation and deterioration are characteristics of buildings or structures.
The terms "Mixed Character" and "Shifting of Uses" refer to a use in a building that was not intended
for that building and, consequently, the building is usually poorly adapted and inefficient. This is
considered a blighting characteristic because it can lead to incompatible uses, and increased
deterioration if buildings are put to more rigorous use than originally intended.
Dilapidation and Deterioration
Ratings in this blight category are the product of first hand field observations. These observations occurred on
various dates from July 2015 to October 2015.
Page 9 of 86
November 3, 2015
The rating categories used in the field survey to assess conditions are generally defined as follows:
x
Buildings or land rated as excellent or in good condition (0 or 1) are in need of little or no

maintenance; vacant parcels are well cared for and not overgrown with weeds or other debris.
Buildings or land rated as deferred maintenance (2 or 3) need minor improvements such as paint
or other exterior cosmetic repairs; vacant parcels need minor landscaping improvements.
Buildings or land rated as needing moderate rehabilitation ("4") require a substantial amount of
improvement such as a new roof, exterior siding, foundation repairs, etc.; vacant parcels are
extensively overgrown and may exhibit topographical problems; and
Buildings or land rated as needing extensive rehabilitation ("5") are abandoned or boarded up, very
poorly maintained, have significant structural damage or need several major repairs. Vacant parcels
are thoroughly overgrown with weeds, have substantial debris, have been used as a common dumping
ground, exhibit foundations of demolished buildings, have severe topographical problems, etc.
Structures that were assigned a rating of "2", "3", 4 or 5 are considered to be in a state of dilapidation or
deterioration. While a property may have been assessed a relatively low blight rating, such as a rating of 2,
the conditions of the surrounding properties are also a factor in determining the level of blight within an area.
Deteriorated buildings which have not been properly maintained by property owners and tenants are a
hindrance to attracting new development to the area. Existing property owners and prospective developers
are often discouraged from investing in an area where deterioration is prevalent, because security in their
investment is uncertain. The presence of properties which exhibit signs of deterioration may also deter
owners of neighboring properties from improving or even maintaining their properties. This occurs if it
appears that any benefits which might accrue to their properties will be diminished or negated due to the
condition of surrounding properties. This presents a risk of decreases in property values if deteriorated
conditions are permitted to persist.
FINDINGS
Dilapidated and Deteriorated
The dominate blight factor in all three proposed expansion areas is evidence of dilapidation and
deterioration. Of the total of 902 commercial parcels, staff evaluations rated 235 parcels/building as "4" or
requiring moderate rehabilitation or substantial improvement, and 187 parcels/buildings as 5 requiring
extensive rehabilitation. More importantly, staff evaluated 406 parcels/buildings as 2 or 3 requiring
deferred maintenance/minor improvements. In short, 828 of the 902 parcels in the proposed Expansion
Area, or ninety-one percent (91%), are judged to be deteriorated or dilapidated under this blight factor.
While a parcel/building that has what may be considered a lower blight rating, such as a 2 or 3, it is
important to note that once a building or parcel becomes deteriorated and/or dilapidated, it is incumbent
upon the property owner to address and undertake the necessary maintenance and improvements to keep
the property from further decay. Given the recent past and current economic environment, many property
owners continue to be financially impacted and cannot make those continued investments in the property.
Page 10 of 86
November 3, 2015
Total Dilapidated & Deteriorated (Parcels identified with a Blight Rating from 2 5) - 91.79%
B.
Economic Dislocation, Deterioration or Disuse

An economic dislocation, deterioration, or disuse resulting from faulty planning. Evidence of faulty
planning results from buildings containing uses that are incompatible with adjacent uses.
FINDINGS
Incompatible uses observed in the three proposed expansion areas could be characterized by the mix of
businesses which are near residential parcels. Some parcels located in the proposed Expansion Areas back
up to single-family homes and multi-family apartments. This is evident in Expansion Areas A and C. The
majority of those parcels were located in mature areas of the business/commercial center. This blighting
characteristic is not a major factor in the proposed expansion area.
A case could be made that Expansion Area B is the most affected by this blight factor due to the number of
parcels that have a land use designation as Religious. There are a total of one hundred and one (101) parcels
that are exempted from paying any property taxes. Sixty-seven (67) of these parcels are identified by
Church in the Clark County Assessors database, through the Property Owner field. The location and
clustering of these parcels can impact a potential investor from being able to assemble land for a
commercial or residential project and contributes to continued economic disuse and deterioration
throughout the surrounding neighborhood.
C.
Lots of Irregular or Inadequate Shape or Size

The subdivision and sale of lots of irregular form and shape and inadequate size for proper usefulness
and development.
Page 11 of 86
November 3, 2015
The economic viability of an area is reduced when it contains a number of lots of inadequate size for
usefulness and development. This situation is commonly the result of historical subdivision and
development patterns, as well as shifting economic trends in commercial sectors (e.g. shifts in the
demand for goods and services). Adequate parcel size and dimension are necessary if land is to be
effectively utilized. Certain minimum lot sizes are required not only for code compliance, but also to
make development and redevelopment attractive to investors. Parcels must be large enough to
accommodate the primary structure, setback area, circulation, and parking space. Parcels not able to
meet these conditions may require that potential investors acquire adjacent properties (which may not
be for sale) or forego rehabilitation or development of a property in lieu of an attractive site of
adequate size and dimensions. Section 279.388 of the NRS considers the "subdividing and sale of lots of
irregular form and shape and inadequate size for proper usefulness and development" a characteristic
of a blighted area.
FINDINGS
New and recently built residential and commercial development tends to be designed in an appropriate
manner which does not impact potential investment in the surrounding properties. It is only when you look
at the older, more mature residential and commercial development that this blighting characteristic has a
role in impacting future investment in a property. For example, there are two major medical facilities that
anchor the current and future development within Expansion Area A. This area is currently identified as the
Las Vegas Medical District and is undergoing an economic and development transformation. Both medical
facilities own large, multiple parcels that are home to their medical facilities, parking lots and support
offices. Neighboring parcels as not of adequate size for potential development or expansion.
Expansion Area Bs parcels are predominately residential. Parcels are uniform. The problem with these
parcels is that there are numerous vacant lots, lots with boarded up structures and a cluster of parcels
owned by religious entities. It is difficult for an investor or property owner to consider any rehabilitation or
development of properties. The only way to do this would be through an assemblage of properties.
Expansion Area C suffers from parcels that are zoned Professional-Residential (P-R) along a commercial
corridor. These parcels back up to residential units and have inadequate setbacks, creating a barrier for
redevelopment and expansion.
D.
Disregard to Contours or Physical Conditions
The laying out of lots in disregard of the contours and other physical characteristics of the ground and
surrounding conditions. This blighting characteristic refers to the presence of parcels that, because of their
layout, create problems with, or do not take advantage of, opportunities presented by the topography of an
area.
FINDINGS
No examples of parcels with contour or physical condition problems in the proposed Expansion Areas were
found.
E.
Inadequate Streets or Physical Conditions
The existence of inadequate, deteriorating, rutted streets, open space and utilities.
Section 279.388 of the NRS states a blighted area may also be characterized by the existence of inadequate
public streets, open space or utilities. Inadequate streets are defined as those that lack the capacity to carry
the existing or anticipated vehicular traffic, or provide inadequate access to an area. Inadequate open space
Page 12 of 86
November 3, 2015
refers to a lack of sufficient parks and recreation areas. Inadequate utilities means that an area lacks or is
poorly served with electricity, gas, telephone or other services necessary for successful development.
FINDINGS
The majority of the parcels in the proposed Expansion Areas show some deterioration of curbs, sidewalks,
gutters and streets. The condition of this infrastructure is the responsibility of the city. Currently, due to an
influx of revenue, the city has been able to address and speed up the regular schedule maintenance and
repairs for many streets throughout the city.
Field observations throughout the three proposed Expansion Areas showed that this blighting condition has
no significant impact.
F.
Possible Submerging
The existence of lots or other areas which may be submerged. Areas which are flood prone or in a flood plain
can be considered as possible submerging candidates.
FINDINGS
The Clark County Regional Flood Control Districts interactive website for determining if an area is within a
100 Year Flood Zone shows that the proposed Expansion Areas will not be impacted. No parcels were found
to be a blighting influence due to potential flood problems.
G.
Depreciated or Deteriorating Values
Prevalence of depreciated values, impaired investments and social and economic maladjustment to such an
extent that the capacity to pay taxes is reduced and tax receipts are inadequate for the cost of public services
rendered. Conditions where assessed values have been declining or failing to keep pace with those in other
comparable locations indicates a lack of investment by existing property owners and outside investors.
FINDINGS
To assess the depreciated or deteriorating values of the parcels for the three proposed Expansion Areas,
staff examined whether or not an areas housing stock is keeping pace with the overall performance of the
City. Information was obtained from the U.S. Census Bureau. When these figures are compared with the
housing figures for the proposed Expansion Areas, a determination whether housing figures are maintaining
pace can be evaluated.
From 2004 through 2014, per NeighborhoodScout.com, the Expansion Area As surrounding neighborhood
single-family housing market has declined by 22.42 percent. Expansion Area Bs has declined 23.38 percent
and Expansion Area Cs has declined by 18.66 percent. The U.S. Median House Price increased 10.3 percent
over this period, via the S&P/Case Shiller Housing Price Index.
Median Gross Rent figures provide us with the overall monthly contract rent for the City of Las Vegas and
the proposed Expansion Areas. From the 2000 Census to the 2013 Census, we find that the citys Median
Gross Rent increased from $699 to $993, a 42 percent increase. The Median Gross Rent for Expansion Area
A was $677 to $760, a 12.26 percent increase. Median Gross Rent for Expansion Area B was $484 to $973, a
39.05 percent increase. Median Gross Rent for Expansion Area C was $631 to $916, a 45.17 percent
increase.
When you compare the respective Expansion Areas Median Gross Rent with the citys Median Gross Rent
from the 2010 and 2013 Census data, you will find that Expansion Areas A and B had a higher percentage
Page 13 of 86
November 3, 2015
decrease in Median Gross Rent. From 2010 to 2013, the citys Median Gross Rent fell .60 percent. While
Expansion Areas A and B saw a 15 percent and 6 percent decrease in rent, respectively. Expansion Area C
actually had a 7.9 percent increase. Since Expansion Area C does not have a significant residential
population base, this can best be described as an economic anomaly and does not impact the overall
blighting conditions of the proposed Expansion Areas.
In 2000 and 2013, if you were to compare the city of Las Vegas Median Gross Rent to the proposed
Expansion Areas you would find that in 2000 Expansion Area A represented 97 percent of the citys Median
Gross Rent and in 2013 it had fallen to 77 percent. Expansion Area B represented 69 percent in 2000 and 68
percent in 2013. Finally, Expansion Area C represented 90 percent in 2000 and 92 percent in 2013. The
decline clearly demonstrates deterioration in the value of the multi-family and single-family housing stock in
the proposed Expansion Areas. A failure to keep pace with the market is an indication of impaired
investment and economic maladjustment throughout the study area.
As for economic maladjustment, median household (HH) income is used. Data from the 2010 and 2013 U.S.
Census Bureau was used to make a determination of the level of economic maladjustment. Median HH
Incomes in proposed Expansion Areas A, B and C in 2010 were $36,314, $20,013, and $43,607; for 2013 $36,276, $18,587, and $42,168. The citys Median HH Income in 2010 was $44,069 and $49,289 for 2013. All
three proposed Expansion Areas saw a decrease in Median HH Income from 2010 to 2013. Expansion Area A
decreased .10 percent; Expansion Area B decreased 7.13 percent; and Expansion Area B decreased 3.3
percent. The citys Median HH Income also decreased 2.94 percent. This shows the impact of the economic
downturn the city was experiencing during this time period. If you compare the Median HH Income of 2000
and 2013, you find that Expansion Area As increased 13.6 percent; Expansion Area B decreased 14.6
percent; and Expansion Area C decreased 5.7 percent, while the citys increased 11.85 percent. This shows
that there has been significant economic maladjustment in the proposed Expansion Areas.
To assess social maladjustment, we will look at crime statistics and educational levels for the three proposed
Expansion Areas. This data shows that the Expansion Areas have a significantly lower educational
attainment than the national, state and Las Vegas MSA.

Together, these two indicators demonstrate a significant economic maladjustment from the national, state
and local levels of crime and education. This results in an area which exhibits the type of social
maladjustment which is characteristic of a blighted community.
The proposed Expansion Areas suffers from depreciated property values, social and economic
maladjustment. Every parcel being considered within the proposed Expansion Areas is blighted due to
depreciating/deteriorating property values and social and economic maladjustment.
H.
Growing, or Total Lack of, Proper Utilization

Growing or total lack of proper utilization of some parts of the area, resulting in a stagnant and
unproductive condition of land which is potentially useful and valuable for contributing to the public
health, safety and welfare.
This factor refers to the existence of one or more conditions (such as declining or slowly growing
property values, or vacant land dispersed among developing properties) that indicate the economic
health of an area is declining or stagnating, and that by themselves, or in combination with other
physical and social conditions, prevent the private marketplace from economically using, maintaining,
upgrading, developing or redeveloping the area.
FINDINGS
This blighting characteristic was evaluated in relation to other blighting characteristics, such as the age,
obsolescence, deterioration and dilapidation; mixed character; faulty arrangement of the interior and
spacing of buildings; lots of irregular form, shape and inadequate size for proper usefulness and
development; and economic and social maladjustment. Vacant properties, property zoned as ProfessionalResidence (P-R) and the overall economic viability of a property/parcel contribute to meeting blighting
conditions and preventing private development to make an investment in the proposed new
Redevelopment Area.
It is important to emphasize that while the numbers of parcels appear nominal, they have a major impact on
the entire neighborhood. More importantly, they provide a dramatic indicator to the private sector that the
risk of investing in these areas is likely to be much greater than others. In fact, since Las Vegas was one of
the fastest growing cities in the country and the opportunities for the developer were so numerous, the
likelihood of them investing in neighborhoods with the risk associated with underutilized property is
extremely tenuous.
I.
Loss of Population or Use

Loss of population and a reduction of proper use of some parts of the area, resulting in further
deterioration and added costs to the taxpayer for the creation of new public facilities and services
elsewhere.
Page 15 of 86
November 3, 2015
FINDINGS
Community Profiles obtained from ESRI provided population statistics for 2000, 2010 and 2015 for the
proposed Expansion Areas and the city of Las Vegas. The date provided a perspective on population loss or
stagnation.
This comparison proved extremely revealing demonstrating an overall stagnation within two of the
proposed Expansion Areas. Between 2000 and 2010 the City of Las Vegas population increased by 102,900
or 21 percent. In contrast, Expansion Area showed a decrease of 27 percent. Expansion Area B showed a
decrease of 18 percent. Expansion Area C had a 0 (zero) percent population growth. From 2010 to 2015,
Expansion Areas A and B had a low population growth of 1.4 percent and 0.8 percent, respectively.
Expansion Area C and the city of Las Vegas showed above average growth of 6.6 percent and 5.3 percent,
respectively. These anemic numbers, when contrasted to a City whose population increases make it one of
the fastest growing cities in the country during this period, definitely indicates stagnation and decline.
Couple these population figures with the other measures of deterioration previously reported verifies that
the proposed Expansion Areas demonstrate a profound reduction in proper use of the Area and added costs
to the taxpayer.

Summary
Of the 12 blight categories profiled, blight was identified in seven of them. Naturally the extent of this blight is
more pervasive in some categories than others. Also, the magnitude of blight varies from one proposed
Expansion Area to another; depending on the category. It is important to recognize that blight, even in minor
numbers, has a substantial impact on deterioration of the entire area and reluctance on the part of the private
sector to contemplate new investment.
CONCLUSION
TABLE 2 provides a summary of the blight observed in the proposed Redevelopment Area. It is apparent that
two blight categories are identified as being 100 percent and 88 percent blighted. Similarly, a majority of all
828 parcels are considered dilapidated or deteriorated. This blight category is especially critical because
deterioration of this nature has a tendency to spread to solidly maintained parcels quickly in challenging
economic conditions.
In the last analysis, it has been clearly demonstrated that all parcels are blighted in some aspect and are
further threatened by other parcels which are severely blighted. In short, it is apparent that the classic
characteristics of blight delineated in NRS 279 are readily evident to the extent that they are detrimental to
the public health, safety and welfare. These conditions exist in all three proposed Expansion Areas of the
Redevelopment Area to an extent where they predominate and may severely affect future private investment
within the proposed Expansion Areas.

Photographic Examples of Blighting Conditions

RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL AREAS Observations and Evaluation
There are three proposed expansion areas within the Redevelopment Area. Staff videoed, walked and/or
drove each expansion area and noted the blighting conditions from the public right-of-way. Below is a
summary of the findings.
Residential parcels account for 64 percent of all the parcels in the proposed Expansion Areas. Expansion Area B
has the most significant number of residential parcels. A substantial number of homes that exhibit deferred
maintenance such as:
x
Housing faades with bare wood components, gables ends, fascias, and trim that have years of peeling
paint

Damaged roofs missing substantial shingles or other roofing material
Roofs in need of major repair and or replacement
Fascias and cornices deteriorated and separating from wall and /or roof systems
Masonry repairs performed by non-qualified tradesmen, on walls, steps, porches, property fencing
Dangerous masonry repairs that are not stable for the original purpose designed
Wooden and metal fences sagging, falling and fallen
Old construction materials stored in yards or against the building
Dead landscaping, dead trees, falling limbs left where they fell
High weeds as fire hazard
Front yards filled with concrete
Front yards, side lots and ROW used for storage for vehicles, working and non-working- stored cars,
trucks, boats, trailers, RVs and other debris
Windows and doors with taped glass paned, or missing windows
Hanging doors, not hung, appear to be non-functional
Doors and windows with security bars installed
Given the number of homes that exhibit the blighting conditions above, it can be determined that the
neighborhoods have deteriorated to a point where private investment is no longer looking to invest in these
neighborhoods. Programs and financial resources will need to be developed to address blight and
disinvestment in the neighborhoods.
COMMERCIAL AREAS
Commercial parcels account for approximately 33 percent of all parcels within the proposed Expansion Areas.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request to amend Table 5 of the Land Use and Rural Neighborhoods Preservation
Element of the Las Vegas 2020 Master Plan to add a provision within the PCD (Planned

units per acre with City Council approval.
ISSUES
x
A General Plan Amendment is required to change Table 5: Master Plan Land Use
Designations to include language that allows a PCD development to exceed an average
overall density of eight dwelling units per acre with City Council approval.
The City Council adopted Ordinance 3636, thereby adopting the Las Vegas
04/01/92
General Plan as required by NRS 278. This master plan contained a Land Use
Element.
The City Council adopted Ordinance 5250, which adopted the Las Vegas
09/06/00
2020 Master Plan.
The City Council adopted Ordinance 5787, which adopted a new Land Use
07/06/05
Element and superseded the 1994 update.
The City Council adopted Ordinance 6056, which adopted the Land Use and
09/02/09
Rural Neighborhoods Preservation Element.
The City Council adopted Ordinance 6152, which updated the Land Use and
05/08/12
Rural Neighborhoods Preservation Element.
The City Council approved a General Plan Amendment (GPA-47548), which
amended Table 5: Master Plan Land Use Designations of the 2020 Master
Plan Land Use and Rural Neighborhoods Preservation Element to add the R02/06/13
MH (Mobile/Manufactured Home Residence) zoning district as an allowable
category under the MLA (Medium Low Attached Density Residential) Land
Use designation.
JM
GPA-60759 [PRJ-60764]

The City Council approved a General Plan Amendment (GPA-57114), which
amended Table 5: Master Plan Land Use Designations of the 2020 Master
Plan Land Use and Rural Neighborhoods Preservation Element to add the R02/18/15
D (Single Family Residential-Restricted) zoning district as an allowable
category under the L (Low Density Residential) and R (Rural Density
Residential) Land Use designation.
No pre-application meeting for this item was required, as this is a city-initiated, text-based
application.
A Neighborhood Meeting will be held on Tuesday, September 1, 2015 at the
hour of 6:00 p.m. at the Development Services Center Charleston Conference
09/01/15
Room, 333 North Rancho Drive (3rd Floor), Las Vegas, Nevada, 89106
ANALYSIS
The Planned Community Development category allows for a mix of residential uses that
maintain an average overall density ranging from two to eight dwelling units per gross acre,
depending upon compatibility with adjacent uses (e.g., a density of two units per acre will be
required when adjacent to DR designated property). In addition, commercial, public facilities
and office projects may be used as buffers (depending on compatibility issues) within the PCD.
Residential streets shall be designed to discourage through traffic, provide maximum privacy,
and avoid the appearance of lot conformity. In order to protect existing lifestyles, adjacency
standards and conditions may be required for new development.
The PD (Planned Development) District is in conformance with the PCD (Planned Community
Development) Land Use designation. Projects in undeveloped areas that are greater than 80
acres in size require a master plan (PD zoning). Projects less than 80 acres in size are not allowed
within the PCD; however, infill projects may receive a waiver from this requirement.
The PD (Planned Development) District provides the flexibility in the regulation of land use
development in order to encourage innovation in land use variety and design, in the layout and
type of new structures and in their integration with existing structures; enhance efficiency in the
use of land, natural resources, energy, community services and utilities; encourage open space
preservation and protection of natural resources; facilitate the provision of housing and improved
residential environments; and promote business and employment opportunities.

2. Providing for a variety of housing types, employment opportunities or commercial or
industrial services, or any combination thereof, to achieve variety and integration of

ANALYSIS
The applicant is proposing to construct a new 3,200 square-foot Church/House of Worship on a
1.00-acre site located at the northwest corner of Donald Nelson Avenue and Jones Boulevard.
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 proposed use meets the definition, as described in the provided justification letter the
religious worship is the primary use of the site.
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 proposed use meets this requirement. According to the applicants justification letter
date stamped 07/23/15, religious worship is the primary use of the site.
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.
GK
SUP-60378 and SDR-60379 [PRJ-60315]

The proposed use meets this requirement, as the applicant has specifically requested that
religious educational classes, wedding ceremonies and special events be included as
accessory functions.
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.
This condition does not apply at this time, as the specific uses covered by the Special Use
Permit are only now being established through this proposal.
4. In residential districts, related uses such as thrift ships, 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 such uses
are permitted as primary uses, and must receive specific approval to operate. The
proposed use meets this requirement, as the applicant has not stated any intent to operate
such uses that are prohibited in the residentially-zoned districts.
The proposed use meets this requirement, as the applicant has not proposed any thrift
shops, homeless shelters and other similar activities under this request.
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 (1.00 acres), which is allowed in residential districts.
The proposed church will consist of a single-story, 3,200 square-foot building. The new
proposed building will be 16.66 feet tall and will be finished in dry earth stucco with deep walnut
metal seam roofing. The sites development is proposed within the context of an R-E (Residence
Estates) zoned property; however the Church/House of Worship use is typified as non-residential
in regards to the application of landscaping standards to provide adequate screening and
buffering of the use. The proposed development adheres to the minimum Title 19.06 residential
development standards with regards to height, lot coverage and setbacks. The development
adheres to minimum Title 19.08 commercial development standards with regards to parking,
landscape buffers, perimeter trees and building placement. The building placement and
compliance with landscaping standards further protects the adjacent single family homes.
The applicant is also proposing off-site improvements along Donald Nelson Avenue, a 60-foot
wide Collector Street as classified by the Master Plan of Streets and Highways. The proposal
GK
SUP-60378 and SDR-60379 [PRJ-60315]

includes the installation of a five-foot wide detached sidewalk and five-foot landscaped amenity
zone at back of curb. The amenity zone contains 24-inch box Shoestring Acacia trees spaced
every 25 feet. The proposed off-site improvements comply with the minimum standards as
outlined by Title 19.04.200. The applicant is not proposing any off-site improvements along
Jones Boulevard, as a five-foot wide sidewalk has already been constructed.
As the proposed site is in substantial compliance with Title 19 and is compatible with the
existing surrounding land uses, staff is recommending approval of the requests for a Special Use
Permit and Site Development Plan Review.
1.
The new proposed 3,200 square-foot Church/House of Worship use can be conducted in a
manner that is harmonious and compatible with the surrounding land uses.
2.
The 1.00 acre site can physically accommodate the new proposed 3,200 square-foot
Church/House of Worship use.
3.
Site access is provided from Donald Nelson Avenue, a 60-foot wide Minor Collector
Street as designated by the Master Plan of Streets and Highways. This street is sufficient in
size to accommodate the needs of the proposed use and will not negatively impact adjacent
roadways.
4.
General Plan.
The proposed Church/House of Worship will be subject to building plan review and
permitting inspections and will not compromise the public health, safety and welfare.
GK
SUP-60378 and SDR-60379 [PRJ-60315]

5.
The proposed use is consistent with all of the minimum requirements for a Church/House
of Worship. Any new uses proposed after approval of a Special Use Permit will require
amendment of the Special Use Permit under a separate hearing.
1.

The new proposed single-story, 3,200 square-foot Church/House of Worship building is
compatible with the surrounding low-density residential land uses. The design incorporates
the use of stucco building material, which is commonly used for single-family residences.
The building placement and compliance with landscaping standards further protects the
adjacent single family homes.
2.
The proposal fully complies with minimum Title 19.04, 19.06, 19.08 and 19.12
development standards. There are no Variances, Waivers, or Exception requests with this
proposal.
3.

Site access is provided from Donald Nelson Avenue, a 60-foot wide Minor Collector
Street as designated by the Master Plan of Streets and Highways. This street is sufficient in
size to accommodate the needs of the proposed use and will not negatively impact adjacent
roadways.
4.
The proposed building and landscape materials are appropriate for the desert environment
and the neighborhood. The proposed building will be finished in dry earth stucco with
deep walnut brown style metal seam roofing. The submitted landscaping plan illustrates an
appropriate amount of trees within the north, west, east and south perimeter landscape
buffers.
GK
SUP-60378 and SDR-60379 [PRJ-60315]

5.

The new proposed 3,200 square-foot Church/House of Worship building is single-story
and composed of earth toned stucco. The design strikes a harmonious balance with the
single family residences within the surrounding neighborhood. The proposed building is
located to the corner of Jones Boulevard and Donald Nelson Avenue, away from the
adjacent single family residences. Adequate landscaping has been provided to further
buffer the church.
6.
general welfare.
The proposed project will not impact the public health, safety or general welfare as the site
is subject to City inspections during construction, as well as routine business license
inspections for any commercial activity.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request to amend a portion of the Southeast Sector Plan of the General Plan from SC
(Service Commercial) to PF (Public Facilities) on 4.85 acres on the southeast corner of Lake
Mead Boulevard and Pink Rose Street. The two additional companion requests consists of a
request for a Rezoning (ZON-61259) from R-E (Residence Estates) to C-V (Civic); and for a
Site Development Plan Review (SDR-61267) for a proposed 55,000 square-foot building for a
Public School, Primary Use, with a Waiver of the Landscape Buffer standard. The project
proposed is an expansion of the existing West Preparatory Institute School for Academic
Excellence at Charles I. West Hall (West Prep Academy) onto a vacant lot to the north of the
existing campus that will include a new 55,000 square-foot building to house the elementary
school and replace the existing 25 portables. The expansion also includes an additional 65
parking spaces for staff and visitors, and new play areas including a kindergarten playground, a
general play area, and a new sodded play field. The Waiver requested is for a portion of the
required Landscape Buffer along Lake Mead Boulevard, adjacent to the proposed parking lot.
Staff finds the proposed West Prep Academy Elementary School Addition to be compatible with
the existing school campus and surrounding area; and the Waiver requested to be minor in
nature; therefore, staff recommends approval of the Site Development Plan Review and
requested Waiver.
Amending the General Plan designation to PF (Public Facilities) and Rezoning the subject site to
C-V (Civic) allows for the proposed elementary school expansion to be combined with the
existing campus to the south into one harmonious campus site through a remapping action. The
PF (Public Facilities) General Plan designation as well as the proposed C-V (Civic) zoning
district are intended for public uses such as schools, and is compatible and harmonious with the
surrounding area; therefore, staff recommends approval of both the General Plan Amendment
and Rezoning applications. If these applications are denied, the General Plan designation would
remain SC (Service Commercial), the zoning would remain R-E (Residence Estates) preventing
the applicant from completing a remapping application to combine the two adjacent parcels into
one harmonious school campus. A Special Use Permit would then be required for a Public
School, Primary on an R-E (Residence Estates) zoned lot.

Public Works has granted an administrative approval for a Waiver of the Complete Streets
Standard.
NE

Title 19.10.020 requires property adjacent to residential uses be subject to the landscape
buffer standards of 19.08.040. A Waiver is being requested for a portion of the landscape
buffer along the northern property line adjacent to the parking lot, for a proposed a five-foot
landscape buffer where 15-feet is required. Staff is recommending approval of the Waiver
request.
Per Title 19.030 the existing West Prep Academy to the south of the subject site has been
deemed parking impaired. With this proposed expansion, West Prep Academy will be
replacing the existing 25 portable buildings that currently house 50 classrooms with the
proposed expansion to the north. The proposed expansion will include 35 classrooms, and an
additional 65 parking spaces where currently only 122 spaces are provided for. The overall
reduction in classrooms does not increase the parking impairment, and the number of spaces
being provided would increase from 122 to 187.
The proposed General Plan Amendment request must be approved in order for the requested
Rezoning to C-V (Civic) to be approved.

ANALYSIS
The applicant is proposing to amend the General Plan designation from SC (Service
Commercial) to PF (Public Facilities), and to rezone the subject site from R-E (Residence
Estates) to C-V (Civic). The proposed General Plan Amendment and Rezoning are appropriate,
since the PF (Public Facilities) General Plan designation and the C-V (Civic) zoning district are
intended for public uses such as schools. The West Prep Academy has been in existence on the
parcel just south of the subject site, approval of this application allows for the applicant to
complete remapping action (PMP-60740) and combine the two parcels into one for a harmonious
educational campus serving students K (Kindergarten) through the 12th Grade. The proposed
General Plan designation of PF (Public Facilities) and the proposed zoning district of C-V
(Civic) are more appropriate for the existing use as they are intended for public uses such as
schools, than both the current General Plan designation of SC (Service Commercial) and the
current zoning district of R-E (Residence Estates). Staff recommends approval of both
applications.
In addition to the General Plan Amendment and the Rezoning applications, the applicant has also
requested a Site Development Plan Review for the proposed West Prep Academy Elementary
School Addition to be constructed on a 4.85 acre vacant lot adjacent to the north of the existing
West Prep Academy. The primary goal of the proposed addition is to eliminate the twenty-five
portables that currently house 50 classrooms, and to provide the students with a permanent
educational facility. The elementary school addition site will also provide the students additional
play areas specifically designed for each age group: elementary, middle-school, and senior highschool. In addition, a designated school bus loading and unloading area capable of
accommodating up to eight school buses at once will also be incorporated into the expansion
area. The proposed school addition also includes 65 additional parking spaces for staff members
and visitors, and a student drop-off/pick-up zone in front of the elementary school addition. The
addition of a designated bus loading zone, student drop-off/pick-up zone, and 65 additional
parking spaces will improve site circulation for students, parents, staff, and area residents. Staff
finds the proposed elementary school addition to be compatible and harmonious with the existing
school site, as well as the surrounding residential and commercial developments and
recommends approval of this application.
While the applicant does their best to predict the number of students enrolling each school year,
there will be times when enrollment exceeds classroom availability. The applicant has
acknowledged that in times of need, up to four portables may be brought in to be housed where
the basketball courts are to provide enough classroom space when enrollment fluctuates beyond
their estimations.
The applicant has requested a Waiver of the Landscape Buffer requirements for residential
adjacency for a portion of the landscape buffer along Lake Mead Boulevard adjacent to the
proposed parking lot. The reduced landscape buffer was a result of the need for a twenty-four
foot fire lane adjacent to the parking area. The applicant not only met the required landscape
NE

buffer requirement for the remaining portion adjacent to Lake Mead Boulevard, but extended it
to 16.5 feet to compensate for the reduced landscaping adjacent to the proposed parking lot. Staff
finds the Waiver request to be minor in nature since the adjacent residentially zoned property to
the north is separated from the subject site by Lake Mead Boulevard, a 100-foot primary arterial,
and will not be directly impacted by a portion of this landscape buffer being reduced to 5 feet.
Staff recommends approval of the Waiver request.
Per Title 19.04.010, where a proposed development is adjacent to existing improvements, the
Director of Public Works shall determine the extent to which it is appropriate to implement the
standards outlined in this Chapter and approve, if necessary, designs for the transition from
existing improvements to those that meet the standards of this Chapter; staff acknowledged the
existing improvements (sidewalk) already in place along Lake Mead Boulevard adjacent to the
subject site and both to the east and west of the subject site along Lake Mead Boulevard as well.
Rather than destroying improvements already in place, the Department of Public Works has
granted an administrative approval for a Waiver of the Complete Streets requirement and has
conditioned the approval of this Site Development Plan Review to include a 5-foot Pedestrian
Access Easement adjacent to the existing right-of-way on Lake Mead Boulevard.
The existing West Prep Academy has been deemed parking impaired per Title
19.18.030. According to this section, only the increase in the number of spaces generated by the
new development is required. The current site houses 65 classrooms in the main structure and an
additional 50 classrooms being housed in 25 portables. The proposed elementary school
addition demonstrates a 15-classroom reduction with the elimination of the portables. The
students currently being housed in the portables will relocate to the new 55,000 square-foot
elementary addition once completed. The replacement of the portables with a new, permanent
structure reduces the overall classroom count by 15; therefore, there is no increase in the level of
impairment. The applicant is proposing an additional 65 parking spaces for a total of 187 spaces,
which meets the parking requirement for this parking impaired site.
FINDINGS (GPA-61258)
Section 19.16.030(I) of the Las Vegas Zoning Code requires that the following conditions be met
in order to justify a General Plan Amendment:
1.
The density and intensity of the proposed General Plan Amendment is compatible
with the existing adjacent land use designations,
The density and intensity of the proposed PF (Public Facilities) General Plan designation is
compatible with the existing adjacent PF (Public Facilities), LI/R (Light
Industry/Research), and SC (Service Commercial) land use designations; and the
residentially zoned property along the north side of Lake Mead Boulevard in North Las
Vegas, Nevada.
NE

2.
The zoning designations allowed by the proposed amendment will be compatible with
the existing adjacent land uses or zoning districts,
The proposed General Plan designation allows for the special purpose zoning district of CV (Civic). This district is compatible with the existing adjacent land uses and zoning
districts and will support the existing surrounding residential developments.
3.
There are adequate transportation, recreation, utility, and other facilities to

accommodate the uses and densities permitted by the proposed General Plan
Amendment; and
Primary access to the school campus will continue to be provided by Saphire Stone
Avenue, a 47-foot Residential Street, as designated by the Master Plan of Streets and
Highways. Only ingress from Pink Rose Street and egress onto Lake Mead Boulevard are
being provided for with the proposed elementary school expansion. The proposed addition
will eliminate the portable classrooms and provide staff and visitors with additional
parking stalls, alleviating the need for street parking along Saphire Stone Avenue. The
subject site will be sufficiently served by existing roadway facilities.
4.
The proposed amendment conforms to other applicable adopted plans and policies
that include approved neighborhood plans.
The subject site is located within The West Las Vegas Plan which is also included in the
Neighborhood Revitalization area of the Master Plan 2020 (Ordinance #2000-62 adopted
09/06/2000). Part of the goals, objectives, and policies addressed in the Neighborhood
Revitalization area include improving the amount and quality of infill development on
vacant lands. This project takes an undeveloped vacant lot and transforms it into an active
educational facility for the area residents and their children.
FINDINGS (ZON-61259)
In order to approve a Rezoning application, pursuant to Title 19.16.090(L), the Planning
Commission or City Council must affirm the following:
1.
The proposal conforms to the General Plan.

The proposed C-V (Civic) zoning district conforms to the proposed PF (Public Facilities)
General Plan designation.
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.
NE

The proposed C-V (Civic) zoning district allows for public facilities such as schools,
which are compatible and harmonious with the surrounding residential and commercial
land uses and zoning districts.
3.
Growth and development factors in the community indicate the need for or
appropriateness of the rezoning.
The proposed rezoning is appropriate as the existing southern portion of the West Prep
Academy has been in existence since 1998. Growth has dictated the need for the existing
educational facility to expand, and Rezoning the subject site will allow for the applicant to
remap the entire site into one harmonious campus.
4.
size to meet the requirements of the proposed zoning district.
Public access to the existing site is provided for by Saphire Stone Avenue, a 47-foot
Residential Street, and will continue to be the primary public access point for the school
campus after the proposed addition is completed. Since the proposed addition replaces
existing portable classrooms, reducing the amount of classrooms and increasing the
amount of available parking stalls for staff and visitors, the site will continue to be
sufficiently served by the existing roadway facilities.
1.

The existing West Prep Academy was approved as part of a Rezoning action (Z-96-95) in
1995. The proposed addition will replace portable classrooms with a permanent
structure, and provide much needed additional parking for staff and visitors. Staff finds the
requested Waiver of Standards for a portion of the landscape buffer to be minor in nature
and not to have a negative impact on the surrounding developments. The proposed
expansion of the West Prep Academy will continue to be compatible with adjacent
developments.
2.
NE

The proposed development is consistent with the proposed General Plan Amendment of
PF (Public Facilities) and the companion Rezoning request for C-V (Civic). The Civic
zoning district allows for the site standards to be determined through the Site Development
Plan Review process. Staff has found the proposed development to be compatible and
harmonious with both the existing West Prep Academy campus and the surrounding area,
with the Waiver of the Landscape Buffer requirement for a portion of the Landscape
Buffer along Lake Mead Boulevard to be minor in nature and not having a negative impact
on the proposed site or surrounding area.
3.

Site access will not change from its current configuration with the exception of the
addition of a paved fire access lane that will also serve as a school bus access lane for a
new loading and unloading zone to be constructed along the southern edge of the subject
site in conjunction with the elementary addition. The existing site circulation and proposed
school bus loading and unloading zone will not negatively impact adjacent roadways or
neighborhood traffic. In addition, the additional 65 parking stalls being added as part of
this campus addition will alleviate the street parking along Saphire Stone Avenue by staff
and visitors.
4.
The proposed building materials are appropriate for the City and include cement, plaster,
split face veneer, stucco, composite materials, and metal trimming and roofing. Landscape
materials proposed include Holly Oak trees, Texas Ranger shrubs, and sod for a play field.
These materials are compatible with our desert environment and appropriate for an
educational facility.
5.

The building elevations depict sufficient contrasts of texture and color, with varied
materials for enhanced visual interest, and demonstrate a building that is aesthetically
compatible with the existing school facility as well as the surrounding residential and
commercial developments. Careful attention was paid to the existing school site and how
best to integrate the new elementary school building and bus loading zone to create one
harmonious campus that will look as though it was constructed in one phase instead of
two.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting the Rezoning of a 1.01-acre property located at 1220 Hinson Street
from R-E (Residence Estates) to C-2 (General Commercial). The site is on the edge of a wellestablished low density residential development south of Charleston Boulevard. The requested
rezoning to C-2 (General Commercial) would not retain the rural character of the neighborhood
and would invite more intense uses into a low-density residential area. Staff therefore
recommends denial. If denied, no commercial activity could occur on the property except as
allowed by Title 19 for residential properties.

A pre-application meeting was held with the applicant to discuss submittal
requirements for a Rezoning application. Staff originally discussed the need
for a General Plan Amendment as well, but further research determined that
the property had been recently designated as Mixed Use, which allows for

The applicant and his representative described the property to be rezoned and
what uses were proposed. If rezoned for commercial use, the existing house
would likely be converted to an office and the front yard would become a
parking area.
There was concern that approval of a rezoning would encourage the further
encroachment of commercial uses into a rural residential neighborhood, and
that the proposed uses would not be the right fit for this area.
Two area residents were not opposed to the rezoning, saying that the property
owner has made positive improvements to the neighborhood since moving
in. One resident was undecided and wanted to confer with other neighbors
after looking further into the request.
Field Check
09/03/15
The site contains an existing single-family residential dwelling on a large lot.

The front yard is screened from the street by a wrought iron fence on top of a
low block wall. There are two driveways, both of which have gated access.
Several mature trees are located along the street frontage.

ANALYSIS
Rezoning of a property is subject to the requirements of Title 19.16.090. Conditions of approval
and other entitlements for the specific development (Variances, Waivers, Special Use Permits,
Site Development Plan Review, etc.) would be needed when new development is proposed,
including the conversion of a single-family residence to a commercial building if it is to remain.
An amendment to the General Plan is not necessary, as the property is currently designated MXU
(Mixed Use), which includes land uses ranging from Low Density Residential to General
Commercial and their corresponding compatible zoning districts as designated by the General
Plan. The proposed C-2 (General Commercial) zoning district therefore conforms to the General
Plan.
The subject property is midblock on a street that transitions from light commercial uses to low
density single-family residential homes. A change to C-2 (General Commercial) disrupts this
transition and would allow for uses that are more intense, rather than less intense, than in the
vicinity.
Rezoning to C-2 (General Commercial) will set precedence for allowance of more intense uses
away from a major thoroughfare (such as Charleston Boulevard), where they are more
compatible (yet still are not common on Charleston). This encourages other property owners in
the area to rezone for such uses, thereby eliminating the existing buffer single-family homes
have from these business corridors. Currently, there are two properties zoned C-2 (General
Commercial) in the vicinity: one is located at the northeast corner of Charleston Boulevard and
Hinson Street, and the other is at the southwest corner of Charleston Boulevard and Vista Drive.
C-2 (General Commercial) zoning is not appropriate for streets 60 feet or less in width, as traffic
will outstrip roadway capacity over time. The street is also a major pedestrian route between two
schools.
The subject property is located within a Rural Preservation Neighborhood. Per Title 19.10.180,
unless a property is located within 330 feet of a 100-foot right-of-way or larger, the intent of this
area is to maintain the rural character of the neighborhood. The subject property is 485 feet from
SS
ZON-61035 [PRJ-60903]
Charleston Boulevard. In addition, an objective of this area is to provide adequate buffer areas,
adequate screening and an orderly and efficient transition of land uses, which this request would
not accomplish.
It is noted that Rezoning would require numerous changes to the existing building and property
once redeveloped. A change from a residential to commercial zoning district would require
more restrictive setbacks and landscape buffering than the existing condition requires. Major
renovations to the house may be needed to meet building codes. Rezoning will require the
owner to bear the cost of fully improving Hinson Street adjacent to the site, which ends five to
seven feet short of the property line. Waivers and variances may also need to be requested in
addition to the future Site Development Plan Review.
The requested rezoning to C-2 (General Commercial) would not retain the rural character of the
neighborhood and would invite more intense uses into a low-density residential area. Staff
therefore recommends denial.
FINDINGS (ZON-61035)
In order to approve a Rezoning application, pursuant to Title 19.16.090(L), the Planning
Commission or City Council must affirm the following:
1.
The proposal conforms to the General Plan.

The General Plan designation of this property is MXU (Mixed Use), which allows for a
range of residential densities as well as varying intensities of commercial use. The
proposed C-2 (General Commercial) zoning district would therefore conform to the
General Plan in this area.
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 uses that would be allowed on the subject property with approval of the proposed C-2
(General Commercial) District would not be compatible with the single-family residential
uses on properties to the south or with lighter commercial uses (offices, mini-storage
facility) on neighboring properties to the north and east.
3.
Growth and development factors in the community indicate the need for or
appropriateness of the rezoning.
General Commercial uses are most appropriate along major arterials; however, it is noted
that most of Charleston Boulevard is more restrictively zoned C-1 (Limited Commercial).
SS
ZON-61035 [PRJ-60903]
The vicinity south of Charleston Boulevard is still predominately low-density residential, and the
subject property is located within a rural preservation neighborhood. Rezoning to C-2
(General Commercial) is therefore inappropriate for this property.
4.
size to meet the requirements of the proposed zoning district.
Hinson Street, a 60-foot Minor Collector, does not have the capacity to accommodate the
increased traffic that is generated by general commercial uses. The street is also a major
pedestrian route between two schools.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Originally in 2007, the City Council approved a Site Development Plan Review (SDR-17735)
for a five-building commercial center with an associated open air parking garage on 3.5 acres at
6408-6446 North Durango Drive. In September of 2015, staff administratively approved a minor
amendment (SDR-61028) to enclose a portion of the existing open air parking garage to create
an additional 4,103 square feet of general retail space, which increased the floor area of the
shopping center to 45,447 square feet. The applicant is requesting a second amendment to
enclose an additional 2,795 square feet of the parking garage to be utilized as a restaurant with
drive-through. According to the Town Center Development Standards, a Drive-Through use is
permissible in the SC-TC (Service Commercial Town Center) Special Land Use designation
with approval of a Special Use Permit. Furthermore, the proposal to further expand the squarefootage of the shopping center by another 2,795 square feet represents a net increase of 6,898
square feet, or 16.6% when including both amendments from original approval. The existing
building footprint and overall height of the existing parking garage would remain unchanged.
The proposed Restaurant (with drive-through) use is compatible with the adjacent uses and is
designed in manner that is compatible with the existing shopping center. For these reasons, staff
recommends approval of both applications.
ISSUES
x

According to the Town Center Development Standards, a Drive-Through use requires a

Special Use Permit. There are no Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for such
use.
According to Title 19.16.100(H), a proposal to increase the maximum density, floor area,
or height by more than ten percent cannot be reviewed administratively. The proposed
second amendment represents a 16.6% increase in floor area from original approval.
The City Council approved a request for a Special Use Permit (U-0149-99)
for a proposed 6,400 square-foot Supper Club, a Special Use Permit (U-015699) for the Off-Premise Sale of Beer and Wine in conjunction with a 4,000

ANALYSIS
The 3.5-acre subject site is located at the northeast corner of Durango Drive and Centennial
Parkway within the SC-TC (Service Commercial Town Center) Special Land Use designation.
The SC-TC designation is designed to provide local services for area residents. This category
allows medium intensity retail, office and other commercial uses that are intended to serve the
Centennial Hills area and do not include more intense general commercial characteristics.
Examples include neighborhood shopping centers, theaters, bowling alleys and other places of
public assembly and quasi-public uses.
The original Site Development Plan Review (SDR-17735) for a 41,344 square-foot shopping
center with associated parking garage was approved by City Council in 2007 and constructed in
2009 at 6408-6446 North Durango Drive. In September of 2015, staff administratively approved
a minor amendment (SDR-61028) to enclose a portion of the existing open air parking garage to
create an additional 4,103 square feet of general retail space, which increased the floor area of
the shopping center to 45,447 square feet. As a result of the conversion from parking garage to
general retail space, 29 parking spaces were eliminated from the existing parking garage.
However, the shopping center maintained an excess of 42 parking spaces and remained in
compliance with minimum parking requirements.
The applicant is currently proposing to convert an additional 2,795 square feet of the existing
parking garage to leasable commercial tenant space. Specifically, the proposed 2,795 square feet
would be utilized as a restaurant (with drive-through) building. The expansion would occur at the
southeast corner of the parking garage, near the intersection of Centennial Parkway and Juliano
Road. The proposal would increase the approved square-footage dedicated to the shopping center
use to 48,242 square feet. The proposal to further expand the square-footage of the shopping
center by another 2,795 square feet represents a net increase of 6,898 square feet, or 16.6% when
including both amendments from original approval.
The existing building footprint and overall height of the parking garage would remain
unchanged. The conversion of open air parking spaces to general retail space would require an
additional 11 parking spaces and eliminate 14 parking spaces from the existing parking garage to
make room for the expansion; however, the shopping center would maintain an excess of 17
parking spaces and still be in compliance with minimum parking requirements. The submitted
elevation plans indicate new enclosed storefront adjacent to Centennial Parkway and Juliano
Road. The new storefront has been designed to match the existing shopping center in both colors
and materials utilizing a combination of glass and stucco painted in earth tone colors.
According to the Town Center Development Standards, a building utilizing a Drive-Through
Facility use requires a Special Use Permit. The Town Center Development Standards Manual
provides no definition for the Restaurant with drive-through use, however, the Title 19.18
definition for a Drive-Through is provided below to illustrate the requirements of an analogous
use in another location of the City.
GK
SUP-61031 and SDR-61034 [PRJ-60845]

The use of a dedicated drive lane that, incidental to a principal use, provides access to a
station, such as a window, door or mechanical device, from which occupants of a motor
vehicle receive or obtain a product or service.
The proposed use meets the Title 19 definition, as the applicant has indicated on the submitted
justification letter that the proposed 2,795 square-foot expansion is to be utilized as a restaurant
with drive-through. The drive-through lane provides vehicle stacking for six cars. The proposed
Restaurant (with drive-through) use is compatible with the adjacent commercial uses and is
designed in manner that is effectively screened from the right-of-way and compatible with the
existing shopping center. The newly expanded area would locate within an existing parking
structure, therefore the existing lot coverage, setbacks, and building height would remain
unchanged. For these reasons, staff recommends approval of both applications.
1.
The Town Center Development Standards allow for a Restaurant (with drive-through) use
with an approved Special Use Permit. The proposed Restaurant (with drive-through) use is
compatible with the adjacent uses and is designed in manner that is compatible with the
existing shopping center.
2.
The existing shopping center can accommodate the proposed Restaurant (with drivethrough) use, as adequate parking, access and circulation are provided and unhindered by
the location of the drive-through lane.
3.
Site access is provided from Durango Drive, a 140-foot wide Parkway Arterial and
Centennial Parkway, a 110-foot wide Primary Arterial as designated by the Town Center
Development Standards Manual. These streets provide adequate access to and from the
subject site.
GK
SUP-61031 and SDR-61034 [PRJ-60845]

4.
General Plan.
The proposed Restaurant (with drive-through) will be subject to ongoing City inspections
for licensing; therefore, public health, safety, and welfare will not be compromised.
5.
There are no minimum requirements listed in the Town Center Development Standards
Manual for a Restaurant (with drive-through) use. The proposed use would meet the
conditions listed in Title 19.12, if applicable.
1.

The proposed Site Development Plan Review remains consistent with the approved
shopping center plan and is compatible with adjacent development in the area.
2.
The proposed site plan conforms to the General Plan and the overall site development plan
for the shopping center.
3.

Site access is provided from Durango Drive, a 140-foot wide Parkway Arterial and
Centennial Parkway, a 110-foot wide Primary Arterial as designated by the Town Center
Development Standards Manual. These streets provide adequate access to and from the
subject site.
4.
GK
SUP-61031 and SDR-61034 [PRJ-60845]

The proposed building materials are appropriate for the area and for the City. The
applicant has proposed a color and material scheme that remains consistent with the colors
and materials of the overall shopping center.
5.

The proposed expansion would occur within an existing parking garage. The proposed
building elevations, design characteristics and other architectural and aesthetic features are
attractive and compatible with the other buildings in the shopping center.
6.
general welfare.
The project will be subject to building permit review and inspections during construction
and business licensing requirements prior to operating. Therefore, appropriate measures
will be taken to protect public health, safety and general welfare.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a Site Development Plan Review to construct a 6,948 square-foot, six unit
multi-family residential development consisting of three (3) three-bedroom and three (3) twobedroom units on approximately 0.24 acres located on the north side of McWilliams Avenue,
approximately 105 feet west of "F" Street that is currently undeveloped. The subject site is
located within an R-3 (Medium Density Residential) zoning designation, which allows a variety
of multi-family units such as duplexes, townhouses and medium density apartments. As
proposed, the new multi-family development does not adhere to all minimum requirements as
outlined by Title 19. The required landscape buffers adjacent to the right-of-way and eastern
interior lot line do not meet the minimum requirements outlined in Title 19.06.110. In addition,
the proposed multi-family structure does not adhere to the minimum parking requirements
outlined in Title 19.12; the applicant is requesting a Variance (VAR-61297) to address the issue.
As the development conforms to the surrounding multi-family development in the area, staff
recommends approval of the associated Variance and Site Development Plan Review requests,
with conditions.

ANALYSIS
This is a request for a Site Development Plan Review to construct a 6,948 square-foot, six unit
multi-family residential development consisting of three (3) three-bedroom and three (3) twobedroom units on approximately 0.24 acres located on the north side of McWilliams Avenue,
approximately 105 feet west of "F" Street that is currently undeveloped. The subject site is
located within Southeast Sector Plan area and is designated M (Medium Density Residential),
within an R-3 (Medium Density Residential) zoning designation, which allows a variety of
multi-family units such as duplexes, townhouses and medium density apartments.
The proposed building is 36.88 feet in height measured to the midpoint of the eave roof line, and
will cover approximately 66% of the 0.24-acre site, which complies with Title 19.06.110
development standards. The submitted building elevations indicate the proposed structure will
have Alpaca and Aleutian Denim colored stucco finish, charcoal and slate roofing and steel
finished stair railings.
As proposed, the new multi-family development does not adhere to all minimum requirements as
outlined by Title 19. The required landscape buffers adjacent to the southern right-of-way and
eastern interior lot line do not meet the minimum requirements outlined in Title 19.06.110. The
applicant has requested Waivers to allow a five-foot landscape buffer along the southern
perimeter where ten feet is the minimum required and a four-foot buffer along a portion of the
east perimeter where six feet is the minimum required. Also, exceptions are required for planting
materials within the southern landscape buffer. The applicant has proposed to utilize a
combination shrubs, pine trees and palm trees within the provided southern landscape buffer
which do not meet the spacing and size requirements outlined in Title 19.06.040, which required
24 box trees spaced 20 feet apart with four shrubs per tree.
In addition, the proposed multi-family structure does not adhere to the minimum parking
requirements outlined in Title 19.12; the applicant is requesting a Variance (VAR-61297) to
allow 11 parking spaces where 13 spaces are required, representing a 15% deviation from
standard.
This parcel is not currently served. Civil and plumbing plans will need to be submitted to Las
Vegas Valley Water District (LVVWD) for domestic meter sizing, fire flow and backflow
prevention. Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) regional connection fees will be
assessed on a per unit basis.
JB
VAR-61297 and SDR-61298 [PRJ60890]

The Clark County School District projects that approximately one primary school student would
be generated by the proposed development on this site. Of the five schools serving the area
(Ward Elementary School, Williams Elementary School, Dailey Elementary School, West Prep
and Canyon Springs High School), the District notes that Ward Elementary School, Dailey
Elementary School and Canyon Springs High School are over capacity for the 2014-15 school
year, and no new schools are planned in this area at this time.
Although the Site Development Plan Review requires a Variance, Waivers and an Exception, the
proposal represents urban housing, which will contribute to a vibrant urban environment in the
West Las Vegas area. The proposed development is also consistent with Policies 2.1.5 and 2.6.2
of the Las Vegas 2020 Master Plan, which encourage neighborhood revitalization through a
variety of incentives, including relaxation of setback requirements and the development of two,
three and four-plex housing opportunities, which is consistent with the proposed development.
Also, vacant and/or abandoned housing has been outlined as an issue of concern within the West
Las Vegas Plan goals. This project serves as an infill development of a vacant underutilized lot
within an existing residential neighborhood, which is encouraged by Policy 2.1.2 of the Las
Vegas Master Plan 2020. For these reasons, staff recommends approval of the Site Development
Plan Review and associated Variance application. If denied, the requested development could not
be constructed as proposed, and the subject site would remain undeveloped.
FINDINGS (VAR-61297)
In accordance with the provisions of Title 19.16.140(B), Planning Commission and City Council,
in considering the merits of a Variance request, shall not grant a Variance in order to:
1.
2.
3.
Permit a use in a zoning district in which the use is not allowed;

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

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

VAR-61297 and SDR-61298 [PRJ60890]

The sites development is proposed within the context of an R-3 (Medium Density Residential)
zoned property along a well-established residential neighborhood. The R-3 (Medium Density
Residential) District is intended to allow for the development of a variety of multi-family units
such as duplexes, townhouses and medium density apartments. The applicant has provided a
van-accessible ADA parking space on the subject site which prevents the ability to provide the
13 parking spaces required by Title 19.12. However, this project serves as an infill development
of a vacant underutilized lot within an existing residential neighborhood, which is encouraged by
Policy 2.1.2 of the Las Vegas Master Plan 2020. In addition, the proposed development is also
consistent with Policies 2.1.5 and 2.6.2 of the Las Vegas 2020 Master Plan, which encourages
neighborhood revitalization through a variety of incentives. As such, it is concluded that the
applicants hardship is not preferential in nature, and is thereby inside the realm of NRS Chapter
278 for granting of Variances.
1.

The proposed six-unit, multi-family development is compatible with the surrounding
residential uses in the area.
2.
The proposed development does not meet minimum landscaping and parking requirements
as evidenced by the Variance, Waivers, and Exception associated with this project.
However, the proposal is consistent with Policies 2.1.5 and 2.6.2 of the Las Vegas 2020
Master Plan, therefore, staff and is recommending approval of the related Variance
Waivers, and Exception.
3.

The primary access to the subject site is from McWilliams Avenue, a 70-foot wide Local
Street and is sufficient in size to carry the minimal amount of traffic this proposed
development will generate.
4.
JB
VAR-61297 and SDR-61298 [PRJ60890]

The project design and style are appropriate for the subject location and will be
harmonious with buildings in the surrounding area. The submitted building elevations
indicate the proposed development will be comprised of one 36.88-foot tall structure with
an Alpaca and Aleutian Denim colored stucco finish, charcoal and slate roofing and
steel finished stair railings.
5.

The design characteristics of the proposed building elevations are not unsightly and are
compatible with development in the area. The proposed materials are suitable for the
surrounding residential uses and the desert environment.
6.
general welfare.
The proposed project will not impact public health, safety or general welfare as the site is
subject to City inspections during construction, as well as routine business license
inspections for any commercial activity.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting approval of a Special Use Permit to serve beer, wine and wine
coolers in an existing 1,549 square-foot restaurant located within an existing shopping center at
1002 North Rancho Drive. The passage of City Las Vegas Bill 2015-0075 on 10/07/15 changed
the Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment from requiring a Special Use Permit to a
conditional use permit within C-2 (General Commercial) zoning district. A Special Use Permit is
required to allow a 334-foot distance separation from a school where 400 feet is required. Staff
supports this request, as the closest access route from the site to the school is severely restricted
(approximately 1,567 feet along a private street in a gated community). Additionally, this
location was previously approved for a Special Use Permit (U-0139-96) for on premise sale of
beer and wine in conjunction with a meal. This Special Use Permit expired on 01/27/15. The site
provides shared parking and access throughout the 7.64-acre site. This use can be conducted in a
harmonious and compatible manner with the existing and future land uses. For these reasons,
staff recommends approval of the Special Use Permit request. If denied, the restaurant can
remain open; however, alcohol sales will be prohibited.
ISSUES
x Special Use Permit (U-0139-96) for on premise sale of beer and wine in conjunction with
a meal at 1002 North Rancho Drive expired on 01/27/15.
x A Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment use is now a conditional use in the C-2
(General Commercial) zoning district; however, this application was applied for prior to
the approval of City of Las Vegas Bill 2015-0075 and does not meet the minimum
conditional use permit requirements.
x A Special Use Permit is required to allow a 334-foot distance separation from a school
where 400 feet is the minimum required. Staff supports this request, as there is an
adequate buffer to mitigate the secondary impacts that may be caused ty the proposed use
and the protected use. The buffer is a gated residential subdivision. The closest school
entry point is a pedestrian access gate approximately 1,567 feet to the northeast.
The City Council approved a request for a Special Use Permit (U-0139-96) to
allow the on premise sale of beer and wine in conjunction with an existing
restaurant at 1002 North Rancho Drive. The Board of Zoning Adjustment and
01/22/97
staff recommended approval. This entitlement expired on 01/27/15.

ANALYSIS
The proposed use is located within an existing Shopping Center on the southeast corner of Dune
Drive and Rancho Drive. The property is zoned C-2 (General Commercial), which can be
characterized as a zoning district that mostly provides the broadest scope of compatible services
for both the general and traveling public. This category allows retail, service, automotive,
wholesale, office and other general business uses of an intense character. The proposed
Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment use is conditional use in the C-2 zoning district. This
application was submitted and noticed prior to approval of City of Las Bill 2015-0075. This
application was noticed with a Waiver to allow a 334-foot distance separation from a school
where 400 feet is required. The Waiver is no longer required; however, the Special Use Permit is
required to allow the reduced distance separation from a school.
The Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment use is defined by Title 19.12 as an establishment
whose license to sell alcoholic beverages is limited to the sale of beer, wine and coolers only for
consumption on the premises where the same is sold.
The proposed use meets the definition outlined above, as the provided floor plan and justification
letter detail the intent to sell alcoholic beverages in conjunction with meals served.
The minimum Conditional Use Permit requirements for this use include:
MR
SUP-61096 [PRJ-60049]
1.
Except as otherwise provided, no Beer/Wine/Cooler on-sale establishment (hereinafter

establishment) shall be located within 400 feet of any church, synagogue, school, child
care facility licensed for more than 12 children, or City park.
The proposed use does not meet this requirement, as there is a school located 334 feet
from the proposed Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment use. Staff supports the
reduced distance separation, as the closest pedestrian access to the school is 1,567 feet
along a private street through a gated residential subdivision to the northeast.
2.
Except as otherwise provided in Requirement 3 below, the distances referred to in

Requirement 1 shall be determined with reference to the shortest distance between two
property lines, one being the property line of the proposed establishment which is closest
to the existing use to which the measurement pertains, and the other being the property line
of that existing use which is closest to the proposed establishment. The distance shall be
measured in a straight line without regard to intervening obstacles. For purposes of
measurement, the term property line refers to property lines of fee interest parcels and
does not include the property line of:
a. Any leasehold parcel; or
b. Any parcel which lacks access to a public street or has no area for on-site parking
and which has been created so as to avoid the distance limitation described in
Requirement 1.
The proposed use meets this requirement, as the measurement is taken from the existing
property located at the northeast corner of Dune Drive and Rancho Drive.
3.
In the case of an establishment proposed to be located on a parcel of at least 80 acres in

size, the minimum distances referred to in Requirement 1 shall be measured in a straight
line:
a. From the nearest property line of the existing use to the nearest portion of the
structure in which the establishment will be located, without regard to
intervening obstacles; or
b. In the case of a proposed establishment which will be located within a shopping
center or other multiple tenant structure, from the nearest property line of the
existing use to the nearest property line of a leasehold or occupancy parcel in
which the establishment will be located, without regard to intervening obstacles.
This requirement does not apply to the proposed use, as the parcel on which it is
proposed is less than 80 acres in size.
MR
SUP-61096 [PRJ-60049]
4.
When considering a Special Use Permit application for an establishment which also
requires a waiver of the distance limitation in Requirement 1, the Planning Commission
shall take into consideration the distance policy and shall, as part of its recommendation to
the City Council, state whether the distance requirement should be waived and the reasons
in support of the decision.
This does not apply; no waiver accompanies this application.
5.
The minimum distance requirements in Requirement 1 do not apply to:

a. An establishment which has a nonrestricted gaming license in connection with a
hotel having 200 or more guest rooms on or before July 1, 1992 or in connection
with a resort hotel having in excess of 200 guest rooms after July 1, 1992; or
b. A proposed establishment having more than 50,000 square feet of retail floor space.
Neither condition applies to this application.
6.
All businesses which sell alcoholic beverages shall conform to the provisions of LVMC
Chapter 6.50. (Nonwaivable)
The proposed use will be required to meet this requirement, as it is a condition of
approval of the Special Use Permit.
The applicant is requesting a Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment use within an existing

1,549 square-foot restaurant at 1002 North Rancho Drive. The proposed Beer/Wine/Cooler OnSale Establishment use would be located within an established shopping center that has general
retail, restaurant and office uses located throughout the site. The existing retail center provides
cross-access and shared parking throughout the entire Shopping Center. No additional parking is
required for the proposed use, as the parking requirements were addressed during the original
development of the site.
The existing property line is 334 feet from a protected use (A.T.C. Junior High School) to the
northeast. As the minimum distance separation is measured from property line to property line,
the proposed use fails to meet the required 400-foot distance separation from a school. A Special
Use Permit is required to allow a 17% reduction from the required 400-foot separation mandated
by Title 19. Staff supports the request, as the closest access route to the site from the school is
severely restricted (a pedestrian access gate approximately 1,567 feet through a gated residential
subdivision). Except for the minimum 400-foot distance separation from a school, all
conditional use permit requirements are met and Title 19 requirements are met; therefore, staff is
recommending approval, as the use is considered appropriate for the surrounding area. If denied,
the restaurant can remain open; however, the consumption of alcohol would be prohibited.
MR
SUP-61096 [PRJ-60049]
1.
The subject location is an existing 60,730 square-foot shopping center with restaurants,
offices, and other retail uses. This location was previously approved to sale beer and wine
in conjunction with a meal; however, the Special Use Permit expired earlier this year. If
approved, this application will reestablish the Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment
use at this location. The proposed use can be operated in a manner that is harmonious and
compatible with existing surrounding land uses, and with future surrounding land uses as
projected by the General Plan.
2.
The proposed Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment use will operate within an
existing retail center with shared access and parking throughout the commercial
development. The existing site is physically suitable for the proposed use.
3.
Primary access to the subject site is provided by Rancho Drive, a 150-foot Expressway.
Secondary access is provided by Dune Drive, a 60-foot Minor Collector, as defined by
Title 19.04. Both streets should have adequate capacity for the proposed Beer/Wine/Cooler
On-Sale use.
4.
General Plan.
Approval of this Special Use Permit will not compromise the public health safety and
general welfare of the public. The use will be subject to regular inspections and is subject
to licensing restrictions.
MR
SUP-61096 [PRJ-60049]
5.
The proposed Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale use meets all the applicable conditional use
permit requirements of Title 19.12, except the distance separation, which requires a
Special Use Permit that staffs supports.

ANALYSIS
The applicant is proposing to establish a Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale use within a proposed
restaurant at 8615 West Sahara Avenue. The subject site is located with the C-1 (Limited
GK
SUP-61299 [PRJ-61176]
Commercial) zoning district, which intends to encourage low to medium intensity retail, office or
other commercial uses. The proposed Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale use is permissible in the C-1
(Limited Commercial) zone with the approval of a Special Use Permit. The 2,537 square-foot
tenant space with 800 square feet of outdoor seating area to be utilized for the use is located
within an existing 30,548 square-foot shopping center. The existing shopping center provides
shared access and parking throughout the subject site. The proposal adheres to all minimum
parking requirements.
A Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale use is described in Tile 19.12 as: An establishment whose license
to sell alcoholic beverages is limited to the sale of beer, wine and coolers only for consumption
on the premises where the same is sold.
Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements:
1. Except as otherwise provided, no beer/wine/cooler on-sale establishment (hereinafter
establishment) shall be located within 400 feet of any church/house of worship, school,
individual care center licensed for more than 12 children, or City park.
The proposed use does not meet this requirement, as the proposed site is located zero feet away
from an individual care center (licensed for more than 12 children), which is located to the south
of the subject shopping center. The applicant has requested a Waiver to this distance separation
requirement. Staff supports the Waiver as the proposed use is located within an established
shopping center designed to accommodate a variety of uses and will not negatively impact the
existing Individual Care Center (licensed for more than 12 children), which is located more than
2,000 feet away measured door to door. In addition, the subject tenant space was previously
entitled for a restaurant with service bar, which allows the sales of spirits in addition to beer and
wine. The current proposal would only allow the sale of beer and wine and is a less intense use.
2. Except as otherwise provided in Requirement 3 below, the distances referred to in
Requirement 1 shall be determined with reference to the shortest distance between two property
lines, one being the property line of the proposed establishment which is closest to the existing
use to which the measurement pertains, and the other being the property line of that existing use
which is closest to the proposed establishment. The distance shall be measured in a straight line
without regard to intervening obstacles. For purposes of measurement, the term property line
refers to property lines of fee interest parcels and does not include the property line of:
a. Any leasehold parcel; or
b. Any parcel which lacks access to a public street or has no area for on-site parking and which
has been created so as to avoid the distance limitation described in Requirement 1.
Distances have been measured from Lakeside Plaza Plat Book 38, Page 9.
3. In the case of an establishment proposed to be located on a parcel of at least 80 acres in size,
the minimum distances referred to in Requirement 1 shall be measured in a straight line:
a. From the nearest property line of the existing use to the nearest portion of the structure in
which the establishment will be located, without regard to intervening obstacles; or
GK
SUP-61299 [PRJ-61176]
b. In the case of a proposed establishment which will be located within a shopping center or
other multiple tenant structure, from the nearest property line of the existing use to the nearest
property line of a leasehold or occupancy parcel in which the establishment will be located,
without regard to intervening obstacles.
Not applicable, the subject site is not located on a parcel of at least 80 acres of size, the assessor
list the subject property at 13.84 acres.
4. When considering a Special Use Permit application for an establishment which also requires a
waiver of the distance limitation in Requirement 1, the Planning Commission shall take into
consideration the distance policy and shall, as part of its recommendation to the City Council,
state whether the distance requirement should be waived and the reasons in support of the
decision.
The proposed site is located zero feet away from an individual care center (licensed for more
than 12 children) where 400 feet is required, which represents a 100% reduction from code
requirements. Staff has determined that the proposed use is complementary to the variety of
commercial uses existing within the Lakeside Plaza Shopping Center, therefore is recommending
approval of the requested Waiver.
5. The minimum distance requirements in Requirement 1 do not apply to:
a. An establishment which has a non-restricted gaming license in connection with a hotel having
200 or more guest rooms on or before July 1, 1992 or in connection with a resort hotel having in
excess of 200 guest rooms after July 1, 1992; or
b. A proposed establishment having more than 50,000 square feet of retail floor space.
This condition is not applicable as the subject site is not located within a an establishment that
has a non-restricted gaming license in connection with a hotel having 200 or more guest rooms
or a proposed establishment having more than 50,000 square feet of retail floor space.
* 6. All businesses which sell alcoholic beverages shall conform to the provisions of LVMC
Chapter 6.50.
The proposed use will be subject to all business licensing requirements outlined in LVMC
Chapter 6.50 if approved.
The proposed use is located zero feet from an Individual Care Center (licensed for more than 12
children), located to the south of shopping center, where a 400-foot minimum distance separation
is required. The proposed location of this use fails to comply with the minimum distance
separation requirements for a Special Use Permit. The requested Waiver to allow a zero-foot
distance separation represents a 100% reduction from the required 400-foot distance separation
mandated by Title 19. However, the subject property is an established shopping center designed
to accommodate a variety of uses. Staff has added a condition of approval requiring the business
GK
SUP-61299 [PRJ-61176]
conform to all provisions of LVMC Chapter 6.50 with regards to running a restaurant and
alcohol license. It has been determined that the proposed Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale use can be
conducted in a manner that is compatible with the surrounding land uses, therefore, staff is
recommending approval, as the use is considered appropriate for the surrounding area.
1.
The proposed Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale use will be ancillary to the proposed restaurant
use at the subject site. The proposed use is compatible with the surrounding land uses and
can be conducted in a manner that is harmonious with surrounding land uses.
2.
The subject site is located within an existing commercial shopping center that is physically
suitable for the intensity of the proposed land use.
3.
Access to the site will not change. The property is accessed by Durango Drive and Sahara
Avenue, both roads are designated as Primary Arterials as classified by the Master Plan of
Streets and Highways.
4.
General Plan.
Approval of this Special Use Permit will not compromise the public health safety and
general welfare of the public. The use will be subject to regular inspections and is subject
to licensing restrictions.
5.
GK
SUP-61299 [PRJ-61176]
The proposed use meets all applicable conditions of approval for a Beer/Wine/Cooler
On-Sale use per Title 19.12; except for the requested distance separation Waiver from
an existing Individual Care Center (licensed for more than 12 children). However, the
subject property is an established shopping center designed to accommodate a variety of
uses. Staff has determined that the proposed use is complementary to the variety of
commercial uses existing within the Lakeside Plaza Shopping Center, therefore is
recommending approval of the requested Waiver.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing to construct a public charter elementary, junior high and high school
campus containing a total of 111 classrooms for an estimated 2,400 students. Based on the
Summerlin Development Standards, 560 parking spaces would be required. The applicant
proposes to provide 502 parking spaces. To address this shortfall, the applicant is requesting a
Special Use Permit for an Alternative Parking Standard in lieu of a parking Variance. The
submitted parking demand analysis is based on Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) study
data, which uses a rate of parking spaces per student rather than parking spaces per classroom to
support its alternative standard. In addition, the school administration would institute a parking
program that restricts the number of student parking passes to ensure that 502 spaces remain
adequate. Based on this parking program, staff recommends approval of the alternative parking
standard with conditions. If denied, the site would have to be redesigned to meet the parking
requirements of the Summerlin Development Standards.
ISSUES
x
Where the unique operation of a particular use would create a lesser parking demand than
that required by applicable codes, the applicant, pursuant to Title 19.18.030(D)(4)(d),
may choose to establish an alternative parking standard based on a traffic engineers
parking demand analysis. The alternative parking standard is established through the
approval of a Special Use Permit.
The City Council approved a Development Agreement (DA-0001-96) for the
development of the Summerlin Planned Community west of the 215 Beltway

ANALYSIS
The site is located within Summerlin Village 24, which is subject to the requirements of the
Summerlin Development Standards and an existing development agreement between The
Howard Hughes Company, LLC and the City of Las Vegas (Summerlin West). The subject
parcel is designated for both Medium Density Multi-Family and Neighborhood Focus by the
Village 24 Development Plan. Elementary, junior high and high schools are all permitted uses in
the Neighborhood Focus land use district. The related Summerlin Site Development Plan
Review application for development of the school site is scheduled to be reviewed by the City
Referral Group on 10/28/15. The outcome of that review will depend on approval of the
alternative parking standard.
A signed, sealed parking demand analysis of the proposed school development was submitted by
the applicants traffic engineer. Using ITE studies that base parking ratios on the number of
SS
SUP-61410 [PRJ-61401]
parking spaces per student rather than parking spaces per classroom, the analysis shows that 444
parking spaces should be required for the school development instead of the 560 required by the
Summerlin Development Standards. The 502 parking spaces proposed to be provided would
yield a surplus of 58 spaces, according to this analysis.

That applicant has stated that the school will institute a parking program that artificially restricts
the number of student parking passes that will be issued to maintain the 502 spaces proposed to
be provided. Staff supports this program, and bases its recommendation for approval of the
Special Use Permit on the program rather than the space per student analysis. A condition of
approval will require submittal of and conformance to the detailed parking program.
1.
The school will institute a parking program restricting the number of parking passes
available to students, which will ensure parking demand does not exceed the number of
spaces provided. This will allow the school to operate in a harmonious and compatible
manner with the future surrounding land uses.
2.
The parcel was designed to accommodate a school campus with parking adjacent to the
elementary school, middle school and high school buildings, as well as a gymnasium,
auditorium and playing fields.
SS
SUP-61410 [PRJ-61401]
3.
Access to the site would be provided by Crossbridge Drive and Suncreek Road, two major
collector streets designated within the Summerlin Village 24 Development Plan. These
streets are adequate in size to accommodate the proposed school campus.
4.
General Plan.
With the implementation of a specialized parking program tailored for this site, approval of
an alternative parking standard would not compromise the public health, safety, general
welfare or overall objectives of the Summerlin Development Standards and Summerlin
West Development Agreement.
5.
This finding does not apply, as an Alternative Parking Standard is not a defined use in
Title 19. There are no minimum requirements related to the Special Use Permit for the
Alternative Parking Standard.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is now proposing a 29,280 square-foot two-story structure and required parking for
the site that would be utilized by a proposed new Motor Vehicle Sales (New) Establishment and
Service Garage. The subject site was previously approved for a 24,239 square-foot, two-story
structure for the same proposed use in 2011.
The proposed use of the subject site remains compatible with the adjacent Motor Vehicle Sales
(New) use to the east. The request to re-establish a commercial building, while maintaining the
existing landscaping results in one new Waiver request to allow a service bay door to face a
public right-of-way. The proposed new design shows the service bay opening to be screened by
the existing six-foot tall block wall along Riley Street. For this reason, staff is recommending
approval of the Waiver. Staff recommends approval of the application, if denied no building
permits would be issued for a building on the site.

ANALYSIS
Development on this site is subject to the Town Center Development Standards Manual. Where
this document is silent, the development is subject to Title 19 standards.
Currently, the subject site contains an existing parking lot in conjunction with an existing Motor
Vehicle Sales (New) establishment to the east. A six-foot tall block wall and a row of evergreen
trees bisect the site into two areas with a paved drive aisle near the center. The entire site has
been paved. The southern half is currently being used for vehicle storage, while the northern half
is used as a display parking lot for the adjacent motor vehicle sales business.
In 2011, the City Council approved a Site Development Plan Review (SDR-40077) for a 24,239
square-foot, two-story motor vehicle sales (new) showroom with accessory Auto Repair Garage
and auto parts storage uses. The showroom and vehicle display area faced Centennial Parkway
while 12 service bays and customer parking was located behind the two story showroom. The
southern portion of the site had a cul-de-sac bulb that infringed onto the subject site. City
Council approved a Waiver (WVR-40381) to allow the cul-de-sac bulb to terminate without a
circular cul-de-sac. The portion of the cul-de-sac bulb infringing on the subject site was vacated
to allow for additional outdoor vehicle storage, which is now screened by a 6-foot high block
YK
SDR-61291 [PRJ-60694]
wall. Several landscape buffer waivers were approved along the east, west and south property
lines and will remain. As a result of the waivers, the Town Center minimum open space standard
could not be met. The City Council approved a Variance (VAR-40380) to allow 14 percent of
open space where a minimum of 20 percent is required, and this will also remain.
A subsequent Site Development Plan Review (SDR-54205) was administratively approved,
which allowed the southern portion to be paved and elimination of the previously approved
24,239 square-foot building and associated required parking. The vehicle display area at the
northern half of the site and the additional storage area at the southern half of the site remain, as
originally approved along with all the Variances and Waivers. The landscape buffer widths
remain unchanged from the original approval which included 20 feet wide along the north
perimeter, zero feet along a portion of the west perimeter and zero feet wide along the east and
south perimeters.
Town Center Streetscape Standard exists along Centennial Parkway adjacent to the site and
along the northern portion of the site along Riley Street. Trails are required adjacent to
Centennial Parkway and Riley Street. The trail along Centennial Parkway includes a five-foot
sidewalk and a four-foot amenity zone. The trail is fully improved along Centennial Parkway.
The required trail along Riley Street includes a five-foot patterned sidewalk and five-foot
amenity zone with street trees. The trail and landscaping have been constructed up to the existing
wall along the south side of the property. The pattern will continue south to the limits of the
property in conformance with the Town Center Development Standards manual and the
previously approved Site Development Plan Review (SDR-40077).
The following comments were received from the Las Vegas Valley Water District: This parcel
is not currently served by LVVWD. The existing quasi-municipal well on the southwest corner
of the parcel is currently serving the residents south of the parcel and may not be used as the
water source for the proposed commercial development. Civil and plumbing plans will need to
be submitted to LVVWD to establish service for this proposed development in order to obtain a
water commitment.
A Waiver is required to allow a service bay opening to face a right-of-way. Staff supports this
request, as the existing perimeter six-foot high wall and perimeter landscaping provide screening
between the right-of-way and the service bay opening. The intent of the code requirement, with
the existing screening, is being met.
The proposed use of the subject site remains compatible with the adjacent Motor Vehicle Sales
(New) use to the east. A Waiver is required to allow a service bay opening to face a right-ofway. Staff supports this request, as the existing perimeter six-foot high wall and perimeter
landscaping provide screening between the right-of-way and the service bay opening. The intent
of the code requirement with the existing screening is being met. For these reasons staff
recommends approval, subject to conditions.
YK
SDR-61291 [PRJ-60694]
In order to approve a Site Development Plan application, per Title 19.16.100(E) the following shall
be affirmed:
1.

The proposed Motor Vehicle Sales (New) establishment, vehicle display area and screened
vehicle storage area is designed and compatible for use with the adjacent Motor Vehicle
Sales (New) establishment to the east.
2.
The development is not consistent with the Town Center Development Standards, as
evidenced by the Waiver request. However, the requested Waiver is supported by staff as
the service bay opening is screened from the right-of-way. The current proposal does not
further intensify the existing inconsistencies previously approved.
3.

Access to the site is provided by a drive aisle off of Riley Street and an internal access to
the existing Motor Vehicle Sales (New) property to the east. The site to the east is accessed
by Centennial Parkway, a 100-foot wide Frontage Road as deemed by the Town Center
Development Standards Manual. Site circulation is adequately addressed by the provided
site plan.
4.
The proposed landscape materials will match the surrounding properties and are
appropriate for the area and for the City.
5.

The proposed elevations are similar in design and materials as the commercial building(s)
adjacent to the east and are compatible and aesthetically pleasing to the environment.

general welfare.
The proposed development will be subject to the Uniform Building Code for construction
and licensing inspections associated with the Motor Vehicle Sales (New) property to the
east, which will ensure the public health, safety and general welfare.

*The subject site is a parking impaired development. Per plot plan review (Z-0066-98) the
subject site was previously approved with 36 classrooms and required 51 parking spaces. Per
Title 19.18.030D(1)b, Any expansion of a parking-impaired development that requires an
increase in the number of required parking spaces, including the expansion of existing buildings
or the construction of new buildings, only the increased number of parking spaces shall be
required. The current proposal will increase the number of classrooms to 53, which is an
increase of 17 classrooms on-site. The additional 17 classrooms on-site will require 51
additional parking spaces per current Title 19.12 requirements, which would bring the total
required on-site parking to 102 parking spaces.
ANALYSIS
This is a request for a Major Amendment to an approved Plot Plan Review (Z-0066-98) for a
proposed reorientation of buildings, increase in building height, rearrangement of the parking
area, as well as a 56,349 square-foot addition in floor space that represents a 109% increase in
floor area located at 2900 Wilmington Way. The subject site is located within a C-V (Civic)
zoning district.
JB
SDR-61346 [PRJ-61301]
The applicant has proposed to demolish the primary 51,460 square-foot school building and
remove all temporary structures on the subject site and replace it on the subject site with a
107,809 square-foot school building. The new structure will be reoriented towards the western
perimeter of the subject site, into an area that was previously utilized as landscaping area (grass
field). The proposed 56,349 square-foot addition in floor space represents a 109% increase in
floor area from the previously approved Plot Plan Review (Z-0066-98); therefore requiring a
Major Amendment. The applicant has also submitted a phasing plan for the development, which
will allow the existing school to continue to operate throughout the school year.
A Waiver from Title 19.08.050 is required to allow a zero-foot landscape buffer along the south
perimeter and a zero-foot landscape buffer along a portion of the west perimeter where a 15-foot
landscape buffer is required along a portion of the subject site which was previously designated
as landscaping area. However, the submitted landscaping plan indicates that the applicant will
provide an eight-foot landscape buffer along the north and east perimeter of the subject site,
which complies with current Title 19.08.050 landscape buffer requirements. The primary tree
species utilized are 24 box Chitalpa, 24 box Fan-Texas Ash, 24 box Italian Stone Pine, 24
box Chinese Pistache, 24 box Holly Oak and 24 box Chinese Elm trees.
The submitted plans indicate the existing parking lot area will be expanded and rearranged to
accommodate the development. The applicant has provided parking lot landscaping which
conforms to current Title 19.08.110 requirements. The submitted elevations indicate that the
primary structure on the subject site will be increased in height from a one-story (15.50)
structure to a two-story structure (34.67), which complies with current Title 19.06.060 building
height requirements that limit structures to 35 feet in height. The submitted building elevations
indicate the building faades will have red brick, light grey and tan stucco finish.
Staff has determined the requested Waiver will have minimal negative impact to the overall
project. This project is compatible with surrounding single-family residential and multi-family
residential development in the area; therefore, staff recommends approval of this project with
conditions.
1.

The proposed development is compatible with the adjacent residential development in the
area. In addition, the applicant has provided the sufficient landscaping creating an

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting an amendment of the approved Site Development Plan Review
(SDR-58124) for a proposed 228-unit apartment development to span across two lots and to
waive the requirement for perimeter landscape buffers along the lot lines. This split is being
done to satisfy financing requirements for construction of some of the apartment buildings. The
site plan was slightly changed from the original approval to accommodate a larger open space
area adjacent to the recreation building. This affected parking counts, the access from Lamb
Boulevard and the footprint of the recreation building. A crash gate is proposed where the
property will tie into the parcel to the north, which the owner is acquiring. In addition, a new
access to the open space and recreation building from the interior is proposed along the north
perimeter buffer. Otherwise, the unit count and apartment building footprints are the same as
previously approved.
The proposed interior property line would be drawn through a future parcel map along the
centerline of the planned drive aisles so as to avoid setback encroachments and to capture all fire
hydrants on one parcel. As it would not create nonconforming setbacks or any building code
hardships, and the requirement for landscape buffers is not practical in this situation, staff
supports the requested waiver. The project as proposed would remain compatible with the
adjacent development. Staff therefore recommends approval, subject to conditions. If denied,
the site would not be able to be developed as proposed, but the original approval would remain in
effect.
ISSUES

A Waiver is requested to allow no perimeter landscape buffers along the proposed property
line separating two portions of the approved multi-family residential complex where six-foot
buffers are required.
The number of provided parking spaces would increase from the 380 spaces previously
approved (through VAR-58121) to 391 spaces. The parking demand would not change as a
result of this request.
Along the north property line, north of the proposed recreation building, 12 Holly Oak trees
were removed due to existing power and water easements running parallel to the property
line. As the number of perimeter trees overall (59) is the same number as was approved
through an Exception through SDR-58124, staff has no objection to the removal of these
trees.

A pre-application meeting was held with the applicant to discuss submittal
requirements for an amendment to the approved Site Development Plan
Review (SDR-58124) for a multi-family residential development. It was
determined that the request qualifies as a major amendment, as a waiver of
09/24/15
landscape buffer requirements is needed. A parcel map to split the existing
parcel and dedicate the adjacent drainage channel has already been submitted,
but the map mylar cannot be approved until final approval of the amendment
is achieved.

ANALYSIS
The development is subject to Title 19.06.110 requirements for multi-family residential
developments, as well as the conditions imposed by the approved Site Development Plan Review
(SDR-58124). The Title 19 buffer requirement is 10 feet along rights-of-way and six feet along
interior lot lines; however, through SDR-58124, buffers on the west, south and north property
lines were approved with a waiver to allow five feet.
The parcel map (PMP-61344) to split the existing parcel and dedicate the adjacent drainage
channel has already been submitted, but cannot be approved for mylar until final approval of the
amendment is achieved. This line would separate Buildings 7-10 from the remainder of the
development. Approval of the Waiver would allow for a seamless, integrated multi-family
residential project, which staff supports.
Additional parking spaces have been provided along the internal access to the recreation building
along the north property line, still well below the Title 19 requirement but greater than the
amount approved through the previous parking variance (VAR-58121).
As part of this request, the applicant has pushed the recreation building to within 11 feet of the north
property line and 12 Holly Oak trees were taken out, due to power and water easements along the
property line. The original SDR-58124 approval allowed 59 perimeter trees where 153 were
required. With the proposed shift in landscape materials, the plan now shows 59, but none along the
north property line. (Only five-gallon shrubs are now shown in the 10-foot buffer north of the
recreation building.) The justification for removal of the trees is acceptable, as the trees could
interfere with overhead power lines and maintenance, and the number of trees conforms to the
previous approval.
Among the changes to the site and landscape plans is a reduction in the amount of turf area from
29,288 square feet to 21,904 square feet. Turfed areas in multi-family residential developments
may not exceed 30 percent of the total landscapable area without a waiver. The site had already met
this standard prior to this request. Staff encourages xeriscaping and the use of drought-tolerant
landscape throughout developments.
The project as proposed would remain compatible with the adjacent development, and approval of
the waiver would not create nonconforming setbacks or any building code hardships. Staff
therefore recommends approval, subject to conditions.
SS
SDR-61502 [PRJ-61427]
1.

The allowance of no landscape buffering along the proposed lot line would not negatively
affect the development as proposed, nor would it have any effect on adjacent properties.
2.
The proposed changes to the site plan require a Waiver of perimeter landscape buffer
width where the applicant is proposing a hard lot line bisecting the property. Approval of
the Waiver would allow for a seamless, integrated project, which staff supports. Buffer
trees in the north perimeter buffer were removed as a result of easements along the north
property line; even without these trees, the number of perimeter trees overall conforms to
the number approved through SDR-58124.
3.

The access from Lamb Boulevard was slightly revised to allow for additional parking
south of the entry islands. Additional access to the recreation building from the interior of
the site was provided, which would allow for temporary loading along the west side of the
building. No other changes were made that would affect site circulation.
4.
Building and landscape materials will remain the same as previously approved.
5.

The building elevations maintain the same appearance as was previously approved and
would be harmonious and compatible with other development in the vicinity.

general welfare.
The proposed multi-family residential development will be subject to City inspections
during construction of the buildings as well as routine business license inspections to
protect the public health, safety and welfare.

Re:
Waiver justification letter for LAMB PINES

501 N. Lamb Boulevard
APN# 140-31-501-021
Dear Mr. Swanton,

On behalf of our client Nevada H.A.N.D., Inc., we are pleased to submit this justification
letter for a waiver request to address the elimination of the landscaping requirements along
a created parcel line on the approved 228 affordable family rental apartment site known as
Lamb Pines.
On May 12, 2015 the Lamb Pines site development plan and associated variances were
approved at the CLV Planning Commission. Since that approval, lenders requirements for
financing have changed; they are requesting this apartment site be split into two parcels
therefore creating this waiver request for our client.
With this in mind we are requesting to eliminate the landscaping requirement for the
internal parcel line being created with the proposed parcel map (see attached exhibit). This
parcel line is for financing only and will not change or modify the approved site layout in
any other way.
Some minor modifications have also been made to the submitted site plan from what was
originally approved. The recreation building was moved to the north and has changed in
configuration. This change also eliminated the perimeter trees between the building and
the property line. Since there is an existing electrical easement and proposed water line
being placed within this area, there is no room for the proposed trees. The buildings
located along the drainage channel were moved to the south to help open up the internal
areas of the development to maximize the open space/pool area. The building exteriors
have also changed a bit, hence the new floor plans and elevations that have been uploaded.
This site plan and buildings match the civil improvement plans going thru the City of Las
Vegas for approval.
We feel this development was compatible in the prior approved condition and will remain
compatible with this proposed condition. If this request is approved by the Planning
Commission we request for this to be final action.
If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me at your earliest
convenience.
Sincerely,
L. R. NELSON CONSULTING ENGINEERS, INC.
