** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
ISSUES
The subject site is partially developed; there are no proposed changes or additions
to the site at this time.
The site was found to have Code Enforcement issues involving illegal signs, graffiti,
cars for sale and homeless persons using the site for refuge.
ANALYSIS
The subject site is home to an Auto Repair Garage, Minor use and an Open Air Vending
use. The existing uses are allowed per the Title 19 requirements for the C-2 (General
Commercial) zoning district. The applicant stated in the submitted justification letter that
parcels may be separated for future development via Record of Survey. During the field
check conducted on 3/2/17, staff found the site to have the following Code Enforcement
issues: unpermitted signs; graffiti; cars listed for sale and homeless individuals using the
site for refuge. These have been referred to Code Enforcement for further action.
Access to the site is provided from Eastern Avenue and Hinkle Drive. As the site is
partially developed and there are no planned changes at this time, grading and drainage
will not be an issue. Site circulation will be unaffected by the proposed mapping.
Parking and access is allowed across the site. A condition of approval will require that
common perpetual access and parking will be granted across the entire proposed
commercial subdivision.
Staff notes that north/south and east/west cross sections are shown with this Tentative
Map submittal, but elevations are not provided. However, since this property and all
surrounding property is developed or graded, no retaining walls are shown or
anticipated. The map meets and complies with the Title 19 and NRS 278 requirements
for a Tentative Map; therefore, staff recommends approval with conditions. If denied, the
existing parcel would remain.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The request is for a 102-lot single family residential subdivision on 18.9 acres within the
Skye Canyon Master Plan Area. The map is intended to replace a previously approved
Tentative Map (TMP-65808) that had a substantially different lot configuration.
ISSUES
The Skye Canyon II parent Tentative Map (TMP-65803) was approved on 09/13/16
by the Planning Commission.
This is a 102-lot residential development to be built to Kyle R-CL Single Family
Compact Lot District standards in accordance with the approved Kyle Canyon
Development Standards and Architectural Design Guidelines revised on July 20,
2016. Staff recommends approval of this map request.
ANALYSIS
The subject property is part of the Skye Canyon Master Plan Area, which is governed
by a Development Agreement between the Master Developer and the City of Las
Vegas, as well as the Kyle Canyon Development Standards and Architectural Design
Guidelines originally adopted on October 21, 2011.
The subject site was previously approved for Tentative Map (TMP-65808) on
September 13, 2016, but when the Final Map was submitted for review on January 10,
2017, some of the street configurations had changed and Parcel 2.23C had been added
to the Final Map. This application has been submitted in order for the Tentative Map to
be in conformance with the Final Map submitted for review in January.
The Skye Canyon Land Use Plan designates the subject property as ML (Medium-Low
Density Residential), which allows up to 15 residential units per gross acre with an
average of 8.49 units per acre. The proposed density of 5.40 dwelling units per unit falls
within the maximum allowed. The dwelling units will be constructed to the Skye Canyon
R-CL (Single Family Compact Lot) standard, which calls for a single family detached
product with a minimum lot size of 2,000 square feet. All proposed lot sizes are greater
than 3,900 square feet, which is almost double the district minimums. As this site is part
of a master plan with its own improvement standards, it is not subject to Title 19.04
NE
TMP-69228 [PRJ-69155]

street section requirements; however, it must comply with the applicable Skye Canyon
street sections. A Condition of Approval has been added to ensure the correct street
sections are included on the map in accordance with the Skye Canyon Village Street
and Trail Exhibit.
The submitted east/west cross section depicts maximum natural grade greater than two
percent across the site. Per the Skye Canyon Development Standards, retaining walls
with a maximum height of six feet are allowed along the perimeter of the site. Eight-foot
retaining walls are shown on the east/west perimeter sections. A condition of approval
has been added to ensure compliance with the applicable Skye Canyon R-CL (Single
Family Compact Lot) wall standards, including wall step backs if necessary.
A letter dated March 3, 2017 received by the Planning Department from the United
States Postal Service, stated that the United States Postal Service had reviewed the
proposed Tentative Map and had no objections. In addition, the proposed street names
(Skye Quarry Street, Skye Glen Street, Skye Chalet Street, Skye Sweep Street, Berry
Skye Avenue, and Scorched Skye Avenue) were all acceptable.
The perimeter walls proposed do not conform to the approved Skye Canyon
Development Agreement and the approved Kyle Canyon Development Standards and
Architectural Guidelines. If the perimeter walls are not able to comply, a Variance will be
needed.
FINDINGS (TMP-69228)
The proposed Tentative Map conforms to the approved Skye Canyon Development
Agreement, the approved Kyle Canyon Development Standards and Architectural
Guidelines, as well as the minimum requirements set forth by Title 19 for Tentative
Maps. Therefore, staff recommends approval of this application with conditions.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a two-year Extension of Time of an approved Special Use Permit
(SUP-57034) for a proposed 614 square-foot Tavern-Limited Establishment use at 321
South Casino Center Boulevard.
ISSUES
This is the first request for an Extension of Time for Special Use Permit (SUP-
57034).
An application for an Extension of Time was received on January 30, 2017.
The subject site is zoned C-2 (General Commercial) and is located within the Office
Core District of the Downtown Centennial Plan.
ANALYSIS
On February 10, 2015 the Planning Commission approved Special Use Permit (SUP-
57034) for a proposed Tavern-Limited Establishment use at 321 South Casino Center
Boulevard. Condition of Approval Number Two (2) states, this approval shall be void
two years from the date of final approval, unless exercised pursuant to the provisions of
LVMC Title 19.16. An Extension of Time may be filed for consideration by the City of
Las Vegas. Special Use Permit (SUP-57034) will expire on February 10, 2017.
Title 19.16.110 of the Unified Development Code deems a Special Use Permit
exercised upon the issuance of a business license. A business license was not issued
prior to February 10, 2017 and the Special Use Permit will expire on February 10, 2017
unless extended by approval of this request.
NE
EOT-68795
Staff Report Page Two
April 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
As stated in the justification letter, the applicant delayed construction of the proposed
project until there were more occupied businesses in the building and Downtown area to
ensure a successful on-going business. The applicant is ready to submit a building
permit application and is requesting an additional two years in order to do so.
FINDINGS (EOT-64112)
The Special Use Permit (SUP-53471) has not been exercised in accordance with the
requirements of Title 19.16, as a business license has not been issued for the Tavern-
Limited Establishment use. Staff is recommending approval of this Extension of Time
request with a two-year time limit, as the Tavern-Limited Establishment use can still
actively contribute to the pedestrian interest sought after in the Downtown Centennial
Plan.

The applicant has proposed a new elementary school prototype for this site. This new
prototype includes classrooms designed for all-day kindergarten, an outdoor classroom
area to educate children on the benefits of solar power and how their school building
harnesses that energy, and expanded drop-off and pick-up lanes for both parents and
school buses, as well as a larger parking lot to provide adequate parking spaces for
both employees and parents to park.
The elementary school campus consists of two buildings, one single-story, and a two-
story structure. The single story structure directly adjacent to the front parking lot area
will house the administrative offices, a multipurpose room, kitchen, and classrooms for
the Pre-K and Kindergarten school age children. This allows parents the ability to park
in the parking lot and escort their children to and from their classrooms. The two-story
structure, directly south of the single-story structure, is primarily classrooms which are
connected to the single-story structure by an outdoor courtyard area that will also serve
as an educational area for the students.
The proposed elementary school has a total of 93,473 square feet that accommodates
59 classrooms. Due to the unpredictability of student enrollment from year-to-year, the
site plan has provided space for four portable classrooms in the southwest corner of the
site if enrollment exceeds available classrooms space.
The outdoor play areas consist of a dedicated Pre-K and Kindergarten turf play area
and playground with equipment to the east of the site. There is a second playground
with equipment and basketball courts in the southeast corner of the site adjacent to a
large turf play area with a dugout for baseball. Various shade structures are proposed
throughout the site to shade the play equipment and children from the sun.

April 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The applicant is proposing chain link fencing in lieu of wrought iron and/or solid block
walls. As explained to Planning staff by the applicant, elementary school age children
have a tendency to run into the fencing especially around the playground areas as a
stopping mechanism. Using chain link around the playground areas is safer than
wrought iron for the students. Additionally, the applicant intentionally avoids using solid
block walls for security reasons. Chain link fencing allows the School District Police to
monitor and patrol the campuses within the Clark County School District, and if there is
an incident, chain link fencing provides much needed visibility. To soften the
appearance of the chain link fencing the applicant has proposed trees and shrubs
along the perimeters where the chain link fencing will be installed. Staff supports this
request.
The proposed parking lot is deficient approximately 44 trees within the parking lot area.
This is in direct response to the street parking and invasion of vehicular traffic onto
neighborhood streets due to insufficient parking for parents that pickup and dropoff their
children at other elementary schools within the School District. In addition to being the
first prototype for all-day Kindergarten, this school campus is also one of the first to
provide excess parking to address and prevent the congestion of traffic that typically
occurs on adjacent roadways during peak drop-off and pick-up hours of the day. Staff
supports this Exception request.
The applicant is also requesting a Waiver to allow a portion of the eastern property line
to have a 10-foot landscape buffer where fifteen feet is required. This reduced section
of the landscape buffer accommodates a play area for the Pre-K and Kindergarten age
children. Since this age group is not able to safely play with the second through fifth
grade students and requires a separate play area, staff supports this request.
Title 19.10 stipulates, Buildings and plazas within the C-V District shall be located at
the front of the site at the minimum setback line established by the approved site
development plan and should make a strong tie to the building lines of each street
unless the applicant can demonstrate by substantial and convincing evidence that to do
so would be infeasible. The site plan depicts both buildings centrally located within the
site with a fire lane encompassing the structure. Due to the nature of the building, and
the young students it will house, it is not feasible for the applicant to design an
elementary campus that would meet this requirement while satisfying the needs of the
Fire Department and the surrounding community.
Staff finds the proposed development to be compatible and harmonious with the
existing surrounding residential neighborhood and recommends approval of the General
Plan Amendment, the Rezoning request, and the development standards proposed
through the Site Development Plan Review.

FINDINGS (GPA-68787)
Section 19.16.030(I) of the Las Vegas Zoning Code requires that the following
conditions be met in order to justify a General Plan Amendment:
The density and intensity of the proposed PF (Public Facilities) General Plan
designation is compatible with the existing surrounding PCD (Planned Community
Development) and R (Rural Density Residential) General Plan Designations.
The subject site is the final undeveloped lot within Grand Teton Village. The
utilities, transportation, and recreation are in place and are adequate for the
proposed elementary school.
The subject site was designated for Public Facility/Open Space and Recreation
(PF) within the Master Plan area of Grand Teton Village and is intended for public
land uses such as the proposed elementary school.

April 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
If approved, the proposed C-V (Civic) zoning district would conform 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.
The land uses permitted in the proposed C-V (Civic) zoning district include any
use operated or controlled by the City, County, State, or Federal Government; any
public or quasi-public use operated or controlled by a recognized religious,
fraternal, veteran, civic or service organization; and utility company facilities which
are compatible land uses for the existing surrounding residential neighborhood.
3. Growth and development factors in the community indicate the need for or
appropriateness of the rezoning.
Grand Teton Village has been fully developed except for the subject site, which is
designated for Public Facility/Open Space and Recreation (PF) by the Master
Development Plan for Grand Teton Village. Growth and development in the area
has prompted the need for the subject site to be rezoned from the holding
category U (Undeveloped) to C-V (Civic) for the proposed elementary school.
The proposed C-V (Civic) zoning district supports public uses such as the
proposed elementary school. School bus pick-up and drop-off is accessed by
Farm Road, a Major Collector street as classified by the Master Plan of Streets
and Highways. Parental pick-up and drop-off is accessed from Donald Nelson
Avenue, a Local Street defined by Title 13 as a street designed to carry a
combination of light commercial and residential traffic between minor collectors,
major collectors, and primary arterials. Both Farm Road and Donald Nelson
Avenue are adequate in size to provide access for the proposed elementary
school.
FINDINGS (SDR-68790)
In order to approve a Site Development Plan Review application, per Title 19.16.100(E)
the Planning Commission and/or City Council must affirm the following:

2. The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan, this Title,
the Design Standards Manual, the Landscape, Wall and Buffer Standards,
and other duly-adopted city plans, policies and standards;
The proposed development is consistent with the proposed General Plan, Zoning
district, and Title 19.10. Additionally, the proposed development completes the
Master Plan Area of Grand Teton Village by developing the subject site that was
earmarked by the plan for a public facility.
The school bus drop-off and pick-up lanes have been positioned adjacent to Farm
Road to not disturb neighborhood traffic or interfere with employees arriving and
departing from school, as well as parents picking up and dropping off students.
Employees and parents will be directed to the parking lot area adjacent to Donald
Nelson Avenue which provides a dedicated drop-off and pick-up lane for parents
and an oversized parking lot in order to not disturb or disrupt neighborhood traffic.
4. Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the
City;
While the proposed landscape materials are appropriate for a desert climate, with
the subject site being located within the Grand Teton Village Master Plan Area, a
Condition of Approval has been added for the landscape materials to be chosen
from the Grand Teton Village Plant Palette, which will only change a few of the
plant species depicted on the landscape plan.
The structures will be constructed of both smooth and accent CMU (Concrete
Masonry Units) finished and painted with contrasting colors. Aluminum shade
louvers and metal panels are used on the building facades to add contrast. These
are appropriate materials for an educational campus in a desert climate.

6. Appropriate measures are taken to secure and protect the public health,
safety and general welfare.
The proposed elementary school will be subject to plan check review during the
permitting process and regular inspections during construction protecting the
public health, safety and general welfare. Additionally, once the elementary school
is in operation the Clark County School District Police Department will perform
regular patrols to ensure the site is secure.

Pre-Application Meeting
Staff conducted a pre-application meeting where the submittal
01/30/17 requirements for a General Plan Amendment, Rezoning, and Site
Development Plan Review application(s) were discussed.
Neighborhood Meeting
Meeting Start Time: 6:00 p.m.
Meeting End Time: 7:00 p.m.
03/01/17 The meeting opened with a presentation of the proposed project by the
applicants architect followed by a question and answer session. Some
of the questions and concerns expressed by the neighbors included:
The school being 2 stories: the project representatives
explained the majority school of the school is 34 feet tall and
only architectural features including the parapet reach a height
of 44 feet. Title 19 allows 2-story homes to be 35 feet tall, and
the school structure has met and exceeded residential
adjacency standards for those portions that exceed 35 feet.

Neighborhood Meeting
Street parking along Jensen (east): the school district will
request for the City to restrict on-street parking along Jensen
Street since the site has provided more on-site parking than
they have in the past to avoid on-street parking.
Noise: The playground was strategically positioned adjacent to
Farm Road to minimize noise impacts on the neighbors with the
parking lot being positioned adjacent to Donald Nelson to
provide a noise buffer to the neighbors from the noise of the
playground. The School District has also proposed more
landscape materials (trees) along the buffer areas to also help
buffer the noise.
Security and Intrusive light: The school will have security
cameras that are only focused on the school property and will
not film the neighbors residences. The cameras are also
streamed to school police, with the site lighting having motion
sensors that also alert school police when motion is detected
after school hours.
Chain link fencing: The school district prefers chain link fencing
for security reasons. School Police and Metro are able to drive
along the perimeters and patrol; solid walls do not promote
safety for the students.
Construction dust: Signs will be posted with emergency contact
telephone numbers for neighbors to contact if dust or noises
exceed what is allowed.
The architect further explained how this school is the first prototype for
all day kindergarten, which includes more parking available for parents
to park on-site and walk the kindergarten age children to and from their
classrooms. The drop-off and pick-up lanes are not adjacent to the
main road (Farm Road) to keep school traffic from congesting traffic
along Farm Road. The school has also been positioned to maximize
solar power, which will make the school building itself an educational
tool for the kids.
Field Check
Staff conducted a routine field check where the subject undeveloped
03/02/17 site was observed. Nothing of concern was noted by staff during the
site visit.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting to map six parcels of land under common ownership into a
single lot. One of the parcels is designated L (Low Density Residential) by the General
Plan and must be amended to match the MXU (Mixed Use) designation on the
remaining parcels in order to be combined. The site is already developed with
commercial uses.
ISSUES
ANALYSIS
Any development within this site is subject to the requirements of Title 19.08 for C-2
(General Commercial) zoned properties. Tentative Map requirements are contained in
Title 19.16. No site development is needed or requested at this time. Some existing
development on this site is nonconforming with respect to the current Unified
Development Code, but combining the current parcels will not affect the nonconforming
status. No waivers or variances are needed as part of this request.
SS
GPA-69188 and TMP-69190 [PRJ-69152]
Staff Report Page Two
April 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
While the main intent of a one-lot commercial subdivision is to allow for the ability to
reparcel multiple areas of the site for sale, allowing for development to occur on a single
legal lot ensures that buildings, landscaping and utilities will conform to code
requirements.
APN 139-31-210-001 is a 30-foot wide remnant parcel created from the vacation of a
portion of the Portsmouth Way right-of-way in 1981. As the east half of the street was
vacated, it became part of the adjacent single family residential development and
remained zoned R-1 (Single Family Residential) until 1987, when it was rezoned C-2
and effectively became part of the commercial development located at the southeast
corner of Meadows Lane and Decatur Boulevard. A condition of the zoning and plot
plan approval (Z-0058-87) limited use of the property to parking, with landscaping and
walls on the perimeter. When the City established Redevelopment Area 2 in 2012, this
parcel was not included and therefore not redesignated MXU (Mixed Use). In order to
include this parcel with the other existing parcels in this Tentative Map request, a
General Plan Amendment from L (Low Density Residential) to MXU (Mixed Use) is
required. In addition, the parcel must be added into Redevelopment Area 2, which can
be done administratively for a small parcel such as this if determined to be appropriate
by the Redevelopment Agency.
Staff notes that north/south and east/west cross sections are shown with this Tentative
Map submittal. Since this property and all surrounding property is developed or graded,
no new retaining walls are shown or anticipated. An eight-foot screen wall is located
along the east property line, and a six-foot retaining wall is located on the perimeter
adjacent to APN 139-31-210-001. Additional chain link fencing has been added behind
the walls on the interior of the property.
The proposed General Plan Amendment is a clean up measure to make the General
Plan match the current use and zoning of the property. APN 139-31-210-001 is
presently zoned C-2 (General Commercial) and functions as part of the adjacent C-2
zoned commercial development. The property is adequately screened from adjacent
single family residential development and has been shown to be compatible with the
uses on the adjacent parcels. Amendment of the General Plan to MXU would make the
current zoning consistent with land use, would be compatible with the adjacent parcels
and would allow for the parcel to be included within the Citys Redevelopment Area 2.
Staff therefore recommends approval to of both requests.
FINDINGS (GPA-69188)
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:
SS
GPA-69188 and TMP-69190 [PRJ-69152]
Staff Report Page Three
April 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The intensity and possible future residential density of the proposed General Plan
Amendment matches the existing General Plan designation (MXU) of the adjacent
commercial parcels to the west.
The proposed MXU (Mixed Use) designation allows for a variety of land uses and
zoning districts, including the existing C-2 (General Commercial) District. The
parcels adjacent to this site to the west are already zoned C-2.
Transportation and utility facilities are fully improved adjacent to this site, and are
adequate to accommodate the potential uses permitted by the proposed General
Plan Amendment.
FINDINGS (TMP-69190)
The proposed Tentative Map is in conformance with all Title 19 and NRS requirements
for tentative maps and is not in conflict with any Title 19 zoning or development
standards. Staff therefore recommends approval, subject to conditions.

April 11, 2016 - Planning Commission Meeting
** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant operates a Financial Institution, Specified at 432 East Sahara Avenue and
is seeking to add Auto Title Loan as a service provided to customers.
ISSUES
An Auto Title Loan is a permitted use in the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district
with the approval of a Special Use Permit.
Waivers from Title 19.12 are required to allow a zero-foot distance separation from a
residential use where 200 feet is required and to allow a 959-foot distance
separation from a similar use where 1000 feet is required. Staff supports these
requests.
ANALYSIS
This is a request for a Special Use Permit for a proposed Auto Title Loan use. The
subject property is developed with an existing nonconforming 2,312 square-foot
Financial Institution, Specified. The subject propertys current zoning is C-1 (Limited
Commercial); it is located within an Airport Overlay, Beverly Green/Southridge
Neighborhood and the Las Vegas Redevelopment Area.
An Auto Title Loan is a permitted use in the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district
with the approval of a Special Use Permit. The proposed use is considered as a Project
Regional Significance and no comments have been received at the time of this writing.
The Auto Title Loan use is defined as A business whose primary function is to lend
money on the security of the title to a motor vehicle rather than on the security of the
vehicle itself. The proposed use meets the definition as the submitted justification
letter, date stamped 02/27/17, clearly states that they will hold auto titles as collateral
and the client keeps the vehicle in their possession. They cannot store any vehicles on
premise including repossessed vehicles, as outside storage is not permitted in the C-1
district. Instead, repossessed vehicles will be stored by the repossession company.
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include:
*1. The use shall comply with all applicable requirements of LVMC Title 6.
RG
SUP-69230 [PRJ-69016]
Staff Report Page Two
April 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The proposed use will meet this required, as the proposed use is subject to
licensing requirements and inspection.
*2. The building design and color scheme shall be subject to review by the
Department to ensure that it will be harmonious and compatible with the
surrounding area.
The proposed use meets this standard as the use will be located in an
existing Financial Institution, Specified use that is aesthetically compatible
with remaining general retail uses located in the building.
The existing Financial Institution, Specified use where the proposed use will
be located is code compliant, and the applicant has not stated any intent to
alter the existing signage.
The existing Financial Institution, Specified use where the use will be located
is code compliant, and the applicant has not stated any intent to alter or add
to the existing signage.
5. The hours of operation shall not extend beyond the hours of 8:00 a.m. to
11:00 p.m.
The applicants justification letter states that they will operate the use at the
same time as the existing Financial Institution, Specified use, which is open
from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday; 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
on Saturdays; and is closed on Sundays.
RG
SUP-69230 [PRJ-69016]
Staff Report Page Three
April 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
6. The building or portion thereof that is dedicated to the use shall have a
minimum size of 1500 square feet, and shall be designed to have sufficient
interior space to provide for adequate customer waiting areas, customer
queuing, and transaction space (such as teller windows or desks).
The existing Financial Institution, Specified use occupies 2,293 square feet
of floor area, and the proposed use will operate in the same space.
7. No auto title loan use may be located closer than 200 feet from any parcel
used or zoned for residential use. In addition, no auto title loan use may be
located closer than 1000 feet from any other auto title loan use, auto pawn
use or specified financial institution use. For purposes of this Requirement 7,
distances shall be measured in a straight line from property line to property
line, without regard to intervening obstacles. The term property line refers to
property lines of fee interest parcels and not leasehold parcels.
The proposed site is zero feet away from a residentially zoned parcel where
200 feet is required and 959 feet from a similar uses where 1,000 feet is
required. The applicant has requested a Waiver to address these distance
requirement. The proposed use will be located within an existing Financial
Institution, Specified use, which has the same distance separation
requirements under the current Title 19.12 standards, and that has been
operating at this location for many years; therefore, staff supports the waiver
request as the proposed addition of the Auto Title Loan use will not negatively
affect the surrounding adjacent uses.
The applicant proposes to add the Auto Title Loan use to an existing Financial
Institution, Specified use at 432 East Sahara Avenue. The Financial Institution,
Specified use has been operating at this location since 2009 when the business license
was issued as a continuing use. The subject site is classified as a legal nonconforming
use, which was established prior to the need for Special Use Permit outlined by Title
19.12 for the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district. The Financial Institution,
Specified use currently operates from 10:00 a.m. to at 6:00 p.m. during weekdays,
10:00 a.m. to 2:00 on Saturdays; and is closed on Sundays. The proposed use adheres
to the operating hours listed in Title 19.12 for the Auto Title Loan use of 8:00 a.m. to
11:00 p.m.
The existing use is located zero feet from a residentially zoned property to the north
where a 200-foot minimum distance separation is required and 959 feet from a similar
use where 1,000-foot minimum distance separation is required. Although these issues
do not affect the existing Financial Institution, Specified use, the proposed Auto Title
RG
SUP-69230 [PRJ-69016]
Staff Report Page Four
April 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
Loan use will require Waivers of the Minimum Special Use Permit requirements prior to
being added to the existing Financial Institution, Specified use. Staff supports the
requested waivers, as the impact from the addition of an Auto Title Loan use to an
existing Financial Institution, Specified use will be negligible to the surrounding land
uses.
The proposed Auto Title Loan use will share floor area occupied by the existing
Financial Institution, Specified use and does not require any additional parking beyond
that which is existing on-site. Pursuant to Title 19.18.030(D), the subject property is a
parking impaired site. The applicants justification letter states that no outside storage of
vehicles will be permitted on-site, nor does the C-1 zoning district allow outside storage.
Therefore staff recommends approval of the request with conditions.
FINDINGS (SUP-69230)
In order to approve a Special Use Permit application, per Title 19.16.110(L) the Planning
Commission and City Council must affirm the following:
The proposed Auto Title Loan use is compatible with the SC (Service
Commercial) General Plan land use designation and is located within an existing
Financial Institution, Specified use. The proposed use can be conducted in a
manner that is harmonious and compatible with the surrounding uses.
2. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use
proposed.
The proposed use will be located within an established commercial building and
will be operating within an existing Financial Institution, Specified use. There is no
evidence of a physical constraint to the proposed use on the subject site.
Primary site access is from Sahara Avenue, a 100-foot wide Primary Arterial. The
right-of-way provides adequate capacity to serve the proposed use.
4. Approval of the Special Use Permit at the site in question will not be
inconsistent with or compromise the public health, safety, and welfare or
the overall objectives of the General Plan.
RG
SUP-69230 [PRJ-69016]
Staff Report Page Five
April 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The proposed Auto Title Loan use will be subject to regular inspections for
business licensing and will therefore not compromise the publics health, safety or
general welfare, or the overall objectives of the General Plan.
5. The use meets all of the applicable conditions per Title 19.12.
Although the use does not comply with all of the conditions per Title 19.12, the
applicant has requested a Waiver of distance separation from a residential
property and from a similar use. Staff supports the applicants request, as the
addition of the proposed Auto Title Loan use will not alter or intensify the existing
use on the site.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request to vacate two public alleys located south of Alta Drive, between Desert
Lane and Martin L King Boulevard.
ANALYSIS
The subject public alleys which are proposed to be vacated are adjacent to the Highland
Villas Apartment Complex. Per the submitted justification letter, the applicant has been
encouraged to pursue a vacation of the public alleys by NDOT (Nevada Department of
Transportation). Currently, Highland Villas shares the subject public alleys with adjacent
commercial uses to the east. However, due to Project Neon, these commercial uses
will be demolished in order to allow a realignment of Martin L King Boulevard.
Therefore, the alleys will no longer be needed and staff recommends approval of the
Vacation request.
This proposed vacation was submitted to various City Departments for comment. The
Fire Department has commented that fire lane access must be maintained in place of
the existing allies. Any alterations or changes will require Fire Department approval
through revised civil drawings.
FINDINGS (VAC-69194)
The Department of Public Works presents the following information concerning this
Requested Vacation:

Staff Report Page Two
April 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
E. Does this vacation request eliminate public street access to any abutting parcel?
No. All Parcels have the same access to existing public streets.
F. Does this vacation request result in a conflict with any existing City
requirements? No.
G. Does the Department of Public Works have an objection to this vacation
request? Public Works has some concerns over the applicants assertion of
grounds for potential litigation referenced in the Justification Letter. However, if
the recommended Conditions of Approval are imposed, in particular the
agreement with the City Attorney, Public Works does not object to the petition of
vacation.

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

April 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The on-site parking areas are located along the eastern and southern perimeters of the
subject site. The site will provide 69 total parking spaces, including three handicapped
parking spaces, which complies with the 69 parking spaces required by Title 19.12.010
for a Multi-Family Residential development with 16 one-bedroom units and 24 two-
bedroom units. The submitted site plans indicates 20 of the 69 proposed parking spaces
(approximately 29%), will be designed as compact parking spaces. Per Title 19.08
minimum of seventy percent of the parking spaces shall be standard size and up to
thirty percent of the required on-site parking spaces may be designated as compact
parking spaces.
The trash enclosure is located in the southeastern corner of the site and is designed to
comply with Title 19.08 standards, which requires it to be screened, gated and covered.
The primary tree species being utilized are 24 box African Sumac, 24 box Desert
Willow, and Date Palm trees, which are consistent with the Southern Nevada Regional
Plan Coalition Regional Plant List. In addition, the applicant has proposed to install a
six-foot tall wrought iron wall/fence at the required 10-foot building setback on Roberta
Lane and 15 feet from Apricot Lane; with existing screen walls located on the southern
and eastern perimeter of the property.
FINDINGS (GPA-68781)
Section 19.16.030(I) of the Las Vegas Zoning Code requires that the following
conditions be met in order to justify a General Plan Amendment:

April 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The subject site is approximately 1,000 feet from Smoke Ranch Road and
Decatur Boulevard, which are both Primary Arterials and provide access to
transportation and recreational facilities to accommodate the proposed multi-
family use.
All applicable plans and policies are met with the proposed amendment.
FINDINGS (ZON-68782)
2. The uses which would be allowed on the subject property by approving the
rezoning will be compatible with the surrounding land uses and zoning
districts.
The purpose of the R-3 District is to provide for the development of a variety of
multi-family units such as duplexes, townhouses and medium density
apartments. The applicant has proposed to develop the site with a 40-unit Multi-
Family Residential development, which is incompatible with the surrounding
rural density single-family residential development.
3. Growth and development factors in the community indicate the need for or
appropriateness of the rezoning.

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

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing to amend the General Plan land use designation to H (High
Density Residential) and the zoning designation to R-3 (Medium Density Residential) on
three parcels to allow the parcels to be combined for a future apartment development
opportunity.
ISSUES
The applicant has submitted a Site Development Plan Review (SDR-68888) for a
44-unit apartment building, but that item wont be on the agenda until the May 9,
2017 Planning Commission meeting.
The applicant has therefore asked for an abeyance of the General Plan
Amendment (GPA-68886) and Rezoning (ZON-68887) to the May 9, 2017
meeting to be heard concurrent with the Site Development Plan Review
(SDR-68888).
ANALYSIS
This is a request for a General Plan Amendment (GPA-68886) from M (Medium Density
Residential) to H (High Density Residential) and Rezoning (ZON-68887) from R-2
(Medium-Low Density Residential) to R-3 (Medium Density Residential) three parcels
totaling approximately 0.89 acres located on the northwest corner of Charleston
Boulevard and Shiloah Drive.
The subject site is located within Southeast Sector Plan area. The proposed H (High
Density Residential) general plan designation is compatible with the proposed R-3
(Medium Density Residential) zoning district, which will allow future use of the site as a
multi-family residential development as a permitted land use. The proposed changes to
the subject sites general plan and zoning designation, will not limit the density proposed
for the site in the future. If the zoning was changed but the general plan designation
was not, the density on the site would be limited to 22 units.
The applicant has submitted a Site Development Plan Review (SDR-68888) for a 44-
unit apartment building, but that item wont be on an agenda until the May 9, 2017
Planning Commission meeting. The applicant has therefore asked for an abeyance of
the General Plan Amendment (GPA-68886) and Rezoning (ZON-68887) to the May 9,
2017 meeting to be heard concurrent with the Site Development Plan Review (SDR-
68888). Staff supports this request.

FINDINGS (GPA-68886)
Section 19.16.030(I) of the Las Vegas Zoning Code requires that the following
conditions be met in order to justify a General Plan Amendment:
The subject site is flanked by C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoned properties on the
west and east, R-1 (Single Family Residential zoned property to the north, and
across Charleston Boulevard the property is in Clark County and is zoned R-1
(Single Family Residential).
Uses allowed under the H (High Density Residential) general plan designation
could easily conform with the citys adopted plans and policies.

2. The uses which would be allowed on the subject property by approving the
rezoning will be compatible with the surrounding land uses and zoning
districts.
The proposed R-3 (Medium Density Residential) zoning would be compatible with
the surrounding sites land use and zoning districts which are SC (Service
Commercial) and C-1 (Limited Commercial) on the east and the west; M (Medium
Density Residential) and R-1 (Single Family Residential) to the north, and across
the 100-foot wide Primary Arterial, Charleston Boulevard, a single family
development in Clark County.
3. Growth and development factors in the community indicate the need for or
appropriateness of the rezoning.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a General Plan Amendment from DR (Desert Rural Density
Residential) to SC (Service Commercial) and a Rezoning from R-E (Residence Estates)
to C-1 (Limited Commercial). The subject site is located at 4801 Ricky Road. At this
time, there are no proposed development projects associated with the requested
changes.
ISSUES
The proposed General Plan Amendment and Rezoning does not adhere to the intent
of the RP-O (Rural Preservation Overlay) District.
ANALYSIS
The subject site is undeveloped and approximately 0.59 acres. It is a corner lot,
surrounded by residential uses. The parcels adjacent to the north, south and west are
all zoned R-E (Residence Estates) and have single family detached dwellings. The
property to the east is separated by Decatur Boulevard, zoned PUD (Planned Unit
Development) and under the City of North Las Vegas jurisdiction. It is composed of
multi-family dwellings and single family dwellings. Approval of the requested
entitlements would allow the applicant to operate uses such as a restaurant, trade
school or wedding chapel, which are all permitted in the C-1 (Limited Commercial)
zoning district. In addition, there are other more intense uses that would require a
Conditional Use Verification or Special Use Permit in the C-1 zoning district.
At this time, no development has been proposed for the subject site. Possible restaurant
uses and tire shop uses were mentioned at the pre-application meeting. The owner
also discussed these uses at the neighborhood meeting held on 03/20/17. The majority
of the public present at the meeting were opposed to supporting the proposed General
Plan Amendment and Rezoning without knowing the exact use of the site.
The site is surrounded by residential uses and is located within a large-lot residential
development. The proposed land use designation and zoning would allow uses that are
too intense for the surrounding adjacent uses. Staff recommends denial of the request.

FINDINGS (GPA-69192)
Section 19.16.030(I) of the Las Vegas Zoning Code requires that the following
conditions be met in order to justify a General Plan Amendment:
The subject site is located on a primary arterial street and within a predominantly
residential area. There is access to adequate transportation, recreation, and utility
facilities to accommodate the proposed General Plan Amendment.
The subject site is located within the Rural Preservation Overlay District. The
intent of this district is to ensure that the rural character of each rural
preservation neighborhood is preserved. The proposed General Plan
Amendment and Rezoning would not be in line with the mission of this district.
FINDINGS (ZON-69193)
CS
GPA-69192 And ZON-69193 [PRJ-69087]
Staff Report Page Three
April 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
If both requests are approved, the proposed C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning
district would conform to the SC (Service Commercial) 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.
The subject site is surrounded by all residential uses. Approval of the requested
rezoning would allow for more intense commercial uses which would not be
compatible with the characteristics of the existing neighborhood.
3. Growth and development factors in the community indicate the need for or
appropriateness of the rezoning.
The subject area is all residential. There are other suitable locations for the type
of development that would be allowed in the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning
district.
The subject site can be accessed from Decatur Boulevard, a 100-foot wide
primary arterial and Ricky Road, a 60-foot wide minor street. Decatur Boulevard
is adequate in size to meet the requirements of the proposed zoning district.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request to amend the General Plan land use designation on a 11.95-acre
portion of the Centennial Hills Sector Plan located at the northeast corner of Trails End
Avenue and Homestead Road from DR (Desert Rural Density Residential) to R (Rural
Density Residential) and to Rezone the subject 11.95-acre site from R-E (Residence
Estates) to R-D (Single Family Residential-Restricted).
ISSUES
In accordance with Title 19.16, a public hearing is required for both the General Plan
Amendment application and the Rezoning application.
ANALYSIS
The subject sites are currently designated DR (Desert Rural Density Residential) which
allows densities up to 2.49 units per acre. To the west of the subject sites is a five-acre
parcel that is included in Planning Area A2 of the Interlocal Agreement between the City of
Las Vegas and County of Clark adopted on December 21, 2016. This agreement
mandates areas identified as Planning Area A1 and A2 must remain residential and
designated at a density of no greater than 2.0 Units per Groass Acre on the Parties
respective comprehensive plans.
East of the subject sites is a residential development zoned R-PD2 (Residential Planned
Development 2 Units Per Acre), with single family, detached homes. South of the subject
sites are undeveloped lots zoned R-E (Residence Estates), which also allows a density no
less than two residential units per acre. Designating the subject sites R (Rural Density
Residential) that would allow a density up to 3.59 units per acre is not compatible with the
existing surrounding area that allows a maximum density of two units per acre. Staff does
not support the General Plan Amendment or the Rezoning application as the density
proposed would create an island of higher density residential amongst lower density
development.
An abeyance has been requested by the applicant in order to allow time for the
submittal of a Petition to Vacate Homestead Road and a Tentative Map application that
will demonstrate an overall neighborhood layout that would include the five acre parcel
to the west of the subject sites. Staff will reevaluate the proposed development once a
Petition to Vacate and Tentative Map are submitted.

Staff Report Page Two
April 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
FINDINGS (GPA-69220)
Section 19.16.030(I) of the Las Vegas Zoning Code requires that the following
conditions be met in order to justify a General Plan Amendment:
The R (Rural Density Residential) General Plan Designation allows the R-E
(Residence Estates), the proposed R-D (Single Family Residential-Restricted),
and the R-1 (Single Family Residential) zoning districts. The existing
surrounding land uses consist of undeveloped lots and single-family, detached
dwelling units zoned either R-E (Residence Estates) or R-PD2 (Residential
Planned Development 2 Units Per Acre) with minimum lot sizes of
approximately one-half acre, or 20,000 square feet. The R-D (Single Family
Residential-Restricted) requires a minimum lot size of 10,000 square feet, and
the R-1 (Single Family Residential) zoning district has a minimum lot size of
6,500 square feet. This is half to one-third of the minimum lot sizes surrounding
the subject sites and is not compatible.

Staff Report Page Three
April 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
Las Vegas and County of Clark adopted on December 21, 2016. This agreement
mandates these parcels designated by the agreement to remain residential with a
density no greater than 2.0 units per acre. Designating property adjacent to this
parcel that would allow a density up to 3.59 units per acre is not compatible to
other applicable plans within the immediate area.
FINDINGS (ZON-69224)
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 R-D (Single Family Residential-Restricted) zoning district allows for single-
family, detached development with a minimum lot size of 10,000 square feet,
which is half the minimum size of the adjacent R-E (Residence Estates) zoning
district to the west and south. The R-E (Residence Estates) zoning district
requires a minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet.
3. Growth and development factors in the community indicate the need for or
appropriateness of the rezoning.

April 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
Neighborhood Meeting
The meeting opened with a presentation of the proposed project by the
applicants engineer followed by a question and answer session. Some
of the questions and concerns expressed by the neighbors included:
Some residents do not want Homestead vacated, a few were in
agreement with the proposal. There is concern as to how traffic
would proceed through the neighborhood once Homestead
Road was vacated and if other streets would see an increase in
traffic levels.
The residents do not want the subject properties rezoned to R-
D, the residents want the property to remain zoned R-E. There
is concern that the proposed plans would be discarded later and
the property would be developed to the minimum lot size of
10,000 square feet allowed by the R-D zoning district.
There is concern in regards to home values. If the subject sites
are developed to the lot minimums with small homes, the
surrounding properties value would drop.
Questions were raised as to whether or not horses could be
kept on property zoned R-D. The R-D zoning district requires
the minimum lot size to be 18,000 square feet for a horse. Staff
informed the neighbors that it is possible to develop a horse
friendly neighborhood.
Questions were also raised in regards to half street
improvements and how that would affect the roads currently not
improved, and those roadways within the County.
Representatives from Clark County District B indicated they
would look into the matter further.

Neighborhood Meeting
The residents requested another neighborhood meeting with an
expanded notification area. Staff asked the neighbors which residents
they would like to be included and mapped with the applicants
representative a custom notification area to be created for the next
neighborhood meeting. This neighborhood meeting would be
scheduled in approximately one month. At the conclusion of the
meeting, the applicants representatives and the neighbors agreed to
continue to work together for the best solution possible.
Field Check
During a routine field check, staff observed the undeveloped site.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing to open a wedding chapel in the existing building at 607
South Decatur Boulevard. In order to do so, the applicant is proposing to amend the
General Plan land use designation to SC (Service Commercial) and rezone the property
to C-1 (Limited Commercial). In addition, this change in zoning will require a Variance
because the lot does not meet the lot width requirements and the existing building does
not meet the setback requirements for the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district.
ISSUES
A General Plan Amendment is requested to change the land use designations from
O (Office) to SC (Service Commercial). Staff recommends denial.
A Rezoning is requested to change the zoning designation from P-R (Professional
Office and Parking) to C-1 (Limited Commercial). Staff recommends denial.
A Variance of Title 19.08 is required to allow a 78-fot lot width where 100 feet is
required and to allow a 14-foot rear yard setback where 20 feet is required in a C-1
(Limited Commercial) zoning district. Staff recommends denial.
ANALYSIS
The applicant is requesting to amend a portion of the Southeast Sector of the Las
Vegas 2020 Master Plan from O (Office) to SC (Service Commercial) and to rezone the
subject site from P-R (Professional Office and Parking) to C-1 (Limited Commercial).
The subject site is currently developed with a commercial office building. The subject
site is located within the Airport Overlay District and Redevelopment Area #2.
The SC (Service Commercial) category allows low to medium intensity retail, office, or
other commercial uses that serve primarily local area patrons and that do not include
more intense general commercial characteristics. Examples include neighborhood
shopping centers, theaters, and other places of public assembly and public and semi-
public uses. This category also includes offices either singly or grouped as office
centers with professional and business services. The Service Commercial category
may also allow mixed-use development with a residential component where
appropriate.
RG
GPA-69221, ZON-69198 and VAR-69223 [PRJ-69185]
Staff Report Page Two
April 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The proposed General Plan Amendment and Rezoning would result in the existing lot
and structure not meeting the minimum Title 19.08 development standards for lot width
and rear setback. Pursuant to Title 19.08, in the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning
district, the minimum requirement for lot width is 100 feet and the required minimum
rear yard setback is 20 feet. The applicant is requesting a Variance to allow 78-foot lot
width and a 14-foot rear yard setback for an existing non-residential building.
The proposed SC (Service Commercial) General Plan designation and C-1 (Limited
Commercial) zoning designation are not compatible with the existing single-family
residential uses located immediately adjacent to the subject site. In addition, the applicant
has created a self-imposed hardship by proposing to rezone the subject property such
that it will not meet the minimum Title 19.08 development standards. Staff recommends
denial of these requests.
FINDINGS (GPA-69221)
Section 19.16.030(I) of the Las Vegas Zoning Code requires that the following
conditions be met in order to justify a General Plan Amendment:
The subject site is adjacent to a primary arterial and a local street. There is
access to adequate transportation, recreation, and utility facilities to accommodate
the proposed General Plan Amendment.
RG
GPA-69221, ZON-69198 and VAR-69223 [PRJ-69185]
Staff Report Page Three
April 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The proposed amendment does not conform to the adopted plans and policies
of the City. The existing property does not meet the requirements of the
proposed C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning for lot width and rear setback. An
application for a Variance (VAR-69223) is required, to allow for the 78-foot lot
width and 14-foot rear yard setback.
FINDINGS (ZON-69222)
2. The uses which would be allowed on the subject property by approving the
rezoning will be compatible with the surrounding land uses and zoning
districts.
The proposed C-1 zoning would not be compatible with the existing surrounding
single family residential land uses, as it would allow commercial uses that are too
intense.
3. Growth and development factors in the community indicate the need for or

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
ISSUES
A Variance (VAR-69170) of Title 19.04 to allow a Connectivity Ratio of 1.0 where 1.3
is required and to allow no amenity zone where such is required for a proposed
residential subdivision. Staff does not support this request.
A Waiver (WVR-69171) of Title 19.02.240 to allow no interior streetlights where such
are required for a proposed residential subdivision. Staff does not support this
request.
A Waiver (WVR-69172) of Title 19.04.070 to allow private streets to not be
developed to public street standards behind a gate. Staff does not support this
request.
A Vacation (VAC-69173) has been requested to vacate the U.S. Government Patent
Easements for a proposed residential subdivision. Staff supports this request.
ANALYSIS
The applicant is proposing a Tentative Map (TMP-69174) for a 29-lot single family
residential subdivision with lot sizes ranging from 10,000 square feet to 13,877 square
feet. The existing General Plan land use designation R (Rural Density Residential) has
an allowable density of 3.59 dwelling units per gross acre, which would translate to a
maximum of 37 units on this 10.36 acre parcel.
The applicant has requested a Variance (VAR-69170) of Title 19.04, Complete Street
standards to allow a connectivity ratio of 1.0 where 1.3 is required, and to allow no
amenity zone where such is required for a proposed residential subdivision. The
applicant has proposed to install no amenity zone along Alpine Ridge Way, which is
classified as a 80-foot Local Street and requires the installation of a 5-foot sidewalk and
three-foot amenity zone. The applicant has requested a Waiver (WVR-69171) of Title
19.02.240 to allow no streetlights along the proposed interior private streets where such
are required. Also, Waiver (WVR-69172) of Title 19.04.070 to allow private streets to be

developed to non-public street standards behind a gate has been requested. The
applicant has proposed to install the 37-foot wide private streets with L-curb gutters and
no sidewalk where a 47-foot wide private street with a five-foot sidewalk is the minimum
required. Lastly, a Vacation (VAC-69173) has been requested to Vacate U.S.
Government Patent Easements on property located on the east side of Alpine Ridge
Way. This Vacation request should be sent to all the utilities, 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 or other parties interested in preserving
a right in this patent easement. Since only City interests are involved; any utility
companys interests will need to be addressed with each respective utility company and
will not be affected by the City relinquishing its interest.
The submitted east/west cross sections depict maximum natural grade greater than 2%
across this site. Per the Tables in Subdivision Code 19.06.050 a development with
natural slope greater than 2%, is allowed a maximum 6-foot retaining wall. A 4.5-foot
maximum retaining is shown on the east property line and a 1.5-foot maximum retaining
is shown on the west property line.
The submitted north/south cross section depicts maximum natural grade less than 2%
across this site. Per the Tables in Subdivision Code 19.06.050 a development with
natural slope less than 2%, is allowed a maximum 4-foot retaining wall. A 4-foot
maximum retaining wall is shown on the south property line and an existing 6-foot
retaining wall is shown on the north property line.
The Clark County School District projects that approximately 13 primary and secondary
school students would be generated by the proposed development on this site. Of the
three schools serving the area (Marshall Darnell Elementary School, Edmundo
Escobedo Middle School and Centennial High School), the District notes that Marshall
Darnell Elementary School and Centennial High School are over capacity for the 2016-
17 school year, and no new schools are planned in this area at this time.
The Department of Public Works has provided the Average Daily Traffic (ADT) for the
proposed 29-lot residential subdivision and approximately 276 trips per day on El
Campo Grande Avenue and Alpine Ridge Way are anticipated. There are no counts
available for any of these streets in this vicinity, but they are all believed to be under
capacity. Based on Peak Hour use, this development will add roughly 29 additional
cars into the area or about one every two minutes.
In summary, staff supports the requested Vacation as it is appropriate for the area.
However, staff promotes the positive impact that Complete Streets, including street
lights have on residential development, and does not support the Variance, two Waivers
and Tentative Map; therefore, staff recommends denial of these applications.

FINDINGS (WVR-69172)
No substantial evidence has been presented to warrant the requested Waiver of Title
19.04.070 to allow private streets to be developed to non-public street standards behind a
gate; therefore, staff recommends denial. If this request is approved, it is subject to
conditions.
FINDINGS (VAC-69173)
This vacation application is a request to relinquish the Citys interests in U.S. Government
Patent Reservations generally located on the north side of El Campo Grande Avenue,
west of Alpine Ridge Way. 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 or other
parties interested in preserving a right in this patent easement. Since only City interests
are involved; any utility companys interests will need to be addressed with each
respective utility company and will not be affected by the City relinquishing its interest.
FINDINGS (TMP-69174)
The proposed Tentative Map conforms to Nevada Revised Statutes. However, the
project requires a Variance and two Waivers from Title 19 Development Standards.
Staff does not support these requests and therefore recommends denial of the
Tentative Map. If this request is approved, it will be subject to conditions.

use per Title 19.12. The site plan indicates 14 parking spaces, but 5 of those
spaces are tandem spaces that require moving a vehicle before they are accessible;
these spaces cannot be counted towards satisfying Title 19.12. Therefore, the
applicant has requested a Variance (VAR-69410) to allow 9 spaces where 30
spaces are required. Staff recommends denial of the variance.
The applicant has requested a waiver to the Streetscape standards included in the
Las Vegas Medical District master plan. They are proposing a 10-foot sidewalk at
back of curb, with only 1 foot of the 15 feet of required landscaping on Hamilton
Lane and 11 feet of the 15 feet of required landscaping on Tonopah Drive. Staff
recommends denial of the waiver with the exception of the width of the amenity zone
on Tonopah Drive because of the location of the existing dwelling.
The applicant has requested a waiver to the parking lot landscaping standards
included in the Las Vegas Medical District master plan. They are proposing a one-
foot landscape buffer and three-foot high block wall at the edge of the right of way,
where a six-foot landscape buffer and three-foot high block wall is required. Staff
recommends denial of the waiver.
The applicant has requested a waiver to the perimeter landscape buffer standards of
Title 19.08, included by reference in the Las Vegas Medical District master plan.
They are proposing a zero-foot landscape buffer on portions of the south and east
property lines where 8 feet is required. Staff recommends denial of this waiver.
ANALYSIS
The applicant is proposing to reuse an existing single family dwelling and detached
garage as a medical office building. They are proposing a 469 square foot second floor
addition to the main dwelling and a parking lot between the two structures.
The subject site is zoned PD (Planned Development) and is within the boundaries of the
Las Vegas Medical District (LVMD) master plan. As such it is required to comply with
the LVMD master plan, which also includes requirements from the UDC by way of
PB

reference. The LVMD guides the parcel for MD1 (Medical Support) which is intended to
allow less intense development within the LVMD including medical, medically-related,
office, and professional uses. The proposed medical office use is considered a
permitted use with in the MD1 (Medical Support) district.
The surrounding properties are a mix of medical offices and single family residences.
The requirements of the LVMD master plan were specifically designed to allow the
adaptive reuse of homes into offices in a manner that is compatible with the single
family residences that remain. The applicant has requested a parking variance and
waivers to a number of the LVMD master plan requirements. Staff does not support the
parking variance or the majority of the waiver requests because of the incompatibility it
would create with the residential properties in the surrounding area.
Hamilton Lane is considered by the LVMD master plan to be a Type B street which
requires a 10-foot sidewalk at back of curb (with street trees) and a fifteen-foot amenity
zone. The Department of Public Works has informed the applicant that an additional
five feet must be dedicated for Hamilton Lane, and has included a condition requiring
compliance. The submitted plans do not show that dedication and the applicant has
requested a waiver to the LVMD streetscape standards to allow a reduced right of way
width, ten feet of sidewalk at back of curb with street trees, and a one-foot wide amenity
zone. A one-foot amenity zone does not allow any significant vegetation to be planted
and providing irrigation to these areas will be problematic. Staff is recommending denial
of this waiver request as it will set a precedent for the streetscape on Hamilton Lane.
Tonopah Drive is considered by the LVMD master plan to be a Type A street which
requires a 10-foot sidewalk at back of curb (with street trees) and a fifteen-foot amenity
zone. The Department of Public Works has informed the applicant that a 15-foot radius
is required to be dedicated at the intersection of Tonopah Drive and Hamilton Lane, and
has included a condition requiring compliance. The submitted plans do not depict
conformance with this dedication requirement, and only 11 feet of distance exists
between the existing structure and the back of sidewalk. A waiver of the streetscape
standards was requested by the applicant, and is supported by staff based on the
location of the existing structure which doesnt allow full compliance with the 15-foot
amenity zone requirement. A condition of approval specifies that only the reduction of
the amenity zone width is approved on the Tonopah Drive, all other streetscape
requirements must be met.
The site plan depicts a single driveway from Hamilton Lane, with a parking lot between
the main dwelling and the detached garage. Parking for an office, medical or dental use
is required at a rate of 1 space for every 200 square feet for the first 2,000 square feet
and then 1 space for every 175 square feet of the remaining area. Therefore, a 5,461
square foot medical office would require 30 parking spaces per the UDC. The parking
lot includes three compact parking spaces and a van-accessible handicapped space
that comply with the requirements of the UDC; and five parking spaces that are depicted
PB
VAR-69410 and SDR-69411 [PRJ-69213]
Staff Report Page Three
April 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
as tandem parking spaces. Tandem spaces require other vehicles to be moved to allow
ingress and egress to both spaces. For the purposes of parking calculations, the UDC
does not count tandem parking spaces towards the provision of required parking for a
use. As such, the applicant has requested a Variance (VAR-69410) to allow 9 parking
spaces where 30 spaces are required. Staff finds that there this is a self-imposed
hardship and is recommending denial of the variance. Additionally, if the Department of
Public Works condition requiring dedication of an additional five feet of right of way
along Hamilton Lane is required, the parking provided on the site will be reduced by two
tandem spaces (two parking spaces for the calculation of required parking) which
means the site would no longer be able to provide the parking proposed as part of this
request.
The LVMD master plan requires perimeter landscaping in accordance with the UDC
requirements. The perimeter landscaping requirements for the street frontages are
covered in the streetscape standards (above), while eight-foot wide landscape buffers
are required on the internal property lines. The submitted landscape plan depicts a
zero-foot landscape buffer on portions of the east and south property lines. The
applicant has requested a waiver to allow these buffer widths. While portions of the
existing structures do not allow the full eight feet of landscaping, the applicant has
designed the site to provide even less landscape buffer between the structures and next
to the proposed parking lot on the east property line. Therefore, staff does not support
the waiver requests as they are a sign of overbuilding the site and would create an
incompatibility with the surrounding residential properties.
The LVMD master plan also requires parking lot screening along Hamilton Lane of
either a ten-foot wide landscape buffer at back of sidewalk or a six-foot wide buffer at
back of sidewalk with a three-foot high screen wall. The submitted landscape plan
depicts, and the applicant has requested a waiver to allow a one-foot wide landscape
buffer at back of sidewalk with a three-foot high screen wall. Staff does not support this
waiver request as this is a sign of overbuilding the site. Additionally, if the Department of
Public Works condition requiring dedication of five feet of right of way is enforced, the
landscape buffer may be able to be brought closer to conformance.
The building elevations submitted by the applicant depict a sensitive reuse of the
existing structures. The only exterior work that is proposed is a 469 square foot addition
to the main dwelling, which does not expand the building footprint and will be done with
stucco to match the rest of the structure.
Due to the lack of full dedication for Hamilton Lane, the number of waivers requested to
the LVMD master plan, and the parking variance the applicant has requested; staff is
recommending denial of the Site Development Plan Review (SDR-69411). Staff has
recommended conditions of approval if approved.

In order to approve a Site Development Plan Review application, per Title 19.16.100(E)
the Planning Commission and/or City Council must affirm the following:
The surrounding area includes single family dwellings, some of which have been

Las Vegas Medical District master plan. As is proposed though, it fails to meet
those standards and will be incompatible with development in the area.
2. The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan, this Title,
the Design Standards Manual, the Landscape, Wall and Buffer Standards,
and other duly-adopted city plans, policies and standards;
The proposed project includes a Variance request for reduced parking and Waiver
requests for relief from the streetscape standards, parking lot screening standards
and perimeter landscape standards that are required by the Las Vegas Medical
District master plan. Therefore, the proposed development is inconsistent with
city standards.
The proposed project does not dedicate the appropriate amount of right of way for
the streetscape required on Hamilton Lane. In the future if Hamilton Lane is
developed to the full standard, the parking area will require drivers to back into
Hamilton Lane from the site, which will negatively impact Hamilton Avenue and
neighborhood traffic.
4. Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the
City;
The landscape and building materials indicated on the submitted plans are
appropriate for the Las Vegas Medical District and for the city.
6. Appropriate measures are taken to secure and protect the public health,
safety and general welfare.
The proposal would be subject to building permits and business licensing, which
will continue to protect the public health, safety and general welfare of the city.

A follow-up preapplication meeting was held, and the applicant had
revised plans that eliminated some waivers and provided more parking
03/01/17 by no longer contemplating connection of the dwelling and the garage
with office space. The applicant informed staff they intended to pursue
the waivers included in this report.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant built a detached gazebo and barbeque islands without first obtaining a
building permit. Code Enforcement issued a citation for building without a permit and
for encroaching into the required side and rear setback areas at 6229 Markleham
Avenue.
ISSUES
The Variance request is to allow a zero-foot side and rear yard setback for an
Accessory Structure (Class II) [Gazebo] with a barbecue island, where three feet is
required pursuant to Title 19.06. Staff does not support this request.
The Variance application is a result of an open Code Enforcement case (#169722).
ANALYSIS
The Accessory Structure (Class II) [Gazebo] with a barbecue island was installed within
the rear yard of the property, and is located zero feet from the side and rear property
lines. They were installed without a building permit, which resulted in a Code
Enforcement case (#169722). If this application is approved, a condition of approval
has been added to require the applicant to obtain a building permit within 90 days of
final approval.
The existing accessory structure and barbecue island does not meet the setback
requirements pursuant to Title 19. The applicant has created a self-imposed hardship
by not constructing the accessory structure to meet Title 19 development standards,
and by not first obtaining a building permit. Therefore, staff recommends denial of this
request. If the application is denied, the structure will be required to be removed or
modified to meet the requirements of Title 19 and the building code.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request to keep an existing detached patio cover in a required side yard
setback area. The subject site is located at 4686 Dream Catcher Avenue.
ISSUES
The R-E (Residence Estates) zoning district requires accessory structures to have a
minimum side yard setback of 10 feet. The applicant is proposing a seven-foot side
yard setback for an existing detached patio cover. Staff recommends denial of this
request.
ANALYSIS
The subject site is located within the R-E (Residence Estates) zoning district, which
requires accessory structures to have a minimum side yard setback of 10 feet. The
applicant is requesting a Variance to keep an existing accessory structure (Class II)
[detached patio cover] in its current location with a seven-foot side yard setback. The
subject site is a corner lot adjacent to a single family dwelling and private park. Building
Permit #331958 was initially issued for the subject patio cover; however, upon
inspection it was found that the submitted site plan did not have the correct setbacks
listed.
Since this is a self-imposed hardship created by the owner, staff recommends denial of
the request. If approved, the applicant will be able to keep their existing detached patio
cover as constructed.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant began construction of a 568 square-foot, one-story addition to the existing
1,530 square-foot single family home at 6104 Kimberly Circle prior to obtaining building
permits. They received a citation from Code Enforcement for construction without a
permit and for the addition being within the five-foot side yard and 15-foot rear yard
setback areas. The applicant then submitted this variance request.
ISSUES
A citation (#172493) was issued for construction without a building permit, and for
encroachments into the side and rear yard setback areas. That citation is still open.
The addition has already been partially constructed and is one foot from the side
property line, where five feet is required; and two feet from the rear property line,
where 15 feet is required. Staff does not support this variance request.
ANALYSIS
The applicant began construction on a room addition prior to the issuance of permits
and located that addition within the side and rear setback areas. The addition is sided
with stucco and is roofed with asphalt shingles as is the existing dwelling. The addition
is below the maximum height and maximum lot coverage allowed in the R-1 (Single
Family Residential) zoning district per UDC 19.06.
The addition is one foot, ten inches from the eave to the side property line, and two foot,
ten inches from the eave to the rear property line. Typically, setbacks are measured to
the addition wall, and eaves are allowed to overhang up to two feet; however, the
addition in questions is within three feet of the property line so all setbacks are
measured to the eave as the leading edge of the addition. As such, the deviation
proposed is 80% for the side setback and 94% for the rear setback.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting a Variance to allow a seven-foot tall wall/fence in the front
yard area at 1720 Villa De Conde Way.
ISSUES
The Variance request is to allow a seven-foot tall wall/fence in the front yard area
where a maximum of five feet with a two-foot solid base is allowed. Staff does not
support this request.
ANALYSIS
The subject property is located in an R-1 (Single Family Residential) zoning district and
is subject to Title 19.06 development standards. The proposed front yard wall will not
have an impact on the Airport Overlay District.
The applicant is requesting a Variance to allow a proposed seven-foot tall front yard
wall. Pursuant to Title 19.06, Front Yard Wall/Fence, a maximum height of five feet with
a two-foot solid wall base height is allowed. The proposed wall is composed of a solid
five-foot tall stucco base with two-foot tall decorative slatted openings between stucco
pilasters with an overall height of seven feet. The proposed wall/fence placement will
be setback at seven feet, five-inches from east property line and continues on the south
property line.
The proposed seven-foot tall front yard wall/fence exceeds the maximum height
requirement. Staff finds that the applicant is creating a self-imposed hardship, and
therefore recommends denial of this request. If the application is approved, it is subject
to conditions.

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

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request to construct a house addition within a required front yard setback area.
The house is located at 3210 Ashby Avenue.
ISSUES
The R-E zoning district requires principal buildings to have a minimum front yard
setback of 50 feet. The applicant is proposing a 40-foot front yard setback for a
house addition. Staff recommends denial of this request.
ANALYSIS
The subject site is located within the R-E (Residence Estates) zoning district, which
requires principal buildings to have a minimum front yard setback of 50 feet. The
applicant is requesting a variance to construct a 253 square-foot addition on the
southwest corner of the existing house with a front yard setback of 40 feet. Per the
submitted justification letter, the additional space is needed in order to provide a secure
home for the owners vehicles. Originally, the existing house was built with a two car
garage. This garage was later converted into an entertainment room. The applicant
intends to convert this room back into a garage. Aesthetically, the garage will match the
exterior of the existing dwelling.
Since this is a self-imposed hardship created by the owner, staff recommends denial of
the request. If approved, the applicant will be able to construct a house addition with a
front yard setback of 40 feet. If denied, the applicant will have to redesign the proposed
addition in order to meet Title 19 requirements.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
ISSUES
The Variance request is to allow a five-foot side yard setback along the west and
north property lines and a zero-foot rear yard setback where 10 feet is required for a
proposed detached Accessory Structure (Class II) [Casita]. Redesigning the garage
expansion to meet the minimum 10-foot setback from the side and rear is achievable
and no evidence of unique circumstances has been presented. Staff does not
support this request.
ANALYSIS
The property is located in an R-E (Residence Estates) zoning district and is subject to
the development standards included in Title 19.06. Pursuant to Title 19.06 R-E
(Residence Estates) standards, the accessory structure must be placed at least 10 feet
from the side and rear property lines. The proposed detached accessory structure will
be located at the northwest corner of the subject property with the side yard setbacks of
five feet and a zero-foot rear yard setback. The side yards consist of the west and north
property lines. The maximum height allowed for a detached accessory structure is not
to exceed two stories or 35 feet in height, whichever is less. The subject property
contains a single-family residence and is located within the Rural Preservation Overlay
District. The proposed detached Accessory Structure (Class II) [Casita] will not have an
impact on the Rural Preservation Overlay District.
Pursuant to Title 19.18.020, in the Words and Terms Defined, a Rear Lot Line is defined
as The property line opposite and most distant from the front property line. In the case
of a triangular or otherwise irregularly shaped lot, a line 10 feet in length entirely within
the lot, parallel to and at a maximum distance from the front property line. The subject
site is an irregularly shaped lot; therefore, the northwest corner of the lot would be the
rear lot line and the proposed structure has a rear yard setback of zero feet.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request to keep an existing house addition in a required rear and side yard
setback area. The subject site is located at 3004 Burton Avenue.
ISSUES
The R-1 (Single Family Residential) zoning district requires principal dwellings to
have a minimum side yard setback of five feet and a minimum rear yard setback of
15 feet. The applicant is proposing a three-foot side yard setback and a 13-foot rear
yard setback for an existing house addition. Staff recommends denial of the request.
ANALYSIS
The subject site is located within the R-1 (Single Family Residential) zoning district,
which requires principal dwellings to have a minimum five-foot side yard setback and a
minimum 15-foot rear yard setback. The applicant is requesting a Variance to keep an
existing house addition with a side yard setback of three feet and a rear yard setback of
13 feet. Per the submitted justification letter, the addition will be used for storage and
will match the exterior aesthetic of the principal dwelling. Code Enforcement issued
Case #173205 for unpermitted construction of the subject house addition. During a field
check conducted on 03/02/17, staff found that the subject addition had roof eaves that
protrude to the east property line. Per the submitted justification letter and elevation
plan, the eaves on the east side of the addition will be removed if the variance is
approved. A condition has been added to address this issue.
Since this is a self-imposed hardship created by the owner, staff recommends denial of
the request. If approved, the applicant will be able to keep his existing house addition
as constructed.

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

ANALYSIS
The purpose of the Main Street Mixed Use (MS-TC) district is to create a neighborhood
which generates a sense of place and a feeling of being in a unique small town
business district. Main Street Mixed Use is intended to encourage a cohesive mix of
inter-dependent uses, including leisure shopping and offices. The two-story restriction in
this district is not applicable, as the site is not adjacent to a Low Density Residential
District. Because of the location of the site, the Town Center Core Standards apply;
these standards allow building heights up to five stories with stepback and build-to
requirements. A three-story building is proposed, meeting height requirements.
The proposed site plan depicts two separate buildings and one equipment enclosure for
the proposed Wireless Communication Facility. Storage building number one as
depicted on the site plan is a three-story storage facility with the trash enclosure tucked
away along the southern faade of the first floor. Each of the three floors are 7,017
square feet with 27 storage units on each floor. Storage building number one is 21,051
square feet. Storage building number two is also three-stories with 64 storage units on
the first floor and 66 units on the second and third floors. The first floor of this building
also includes the office for the self-storage facility. The total area of building number two
is 51,800 square feet.
The Main Street Mixed Use district of Town Center requires all exterior walls of the
mini-warehouse facilities shall be constructed with a faade so as to appear as an office
or retail facility. To meet this requirement, the applicant has proposed faux window
treatment on the north, south, and east elevations. The western elevation adjacent to
Riley Street has a faade that steps back and gives the appearance of a retail
storefront. The signage depicted in the proposed elevations are not part of this review,
and will be reviewed separately through a building sign permit.
The portion of Riley Street the proposed development is adjacent to is not part of the
Town Center Street Hierarchy, but is subject to Title 19.04 for Complete Streets. The
Department of Public Works has granted the applicant a Waiver of Complete Streets
and has required the applicant to match the streetscape design currently under
construction to the north of the subject site. This Waiver provides consistency in the
street treatment along this eastern portion of Riley Street. The applicant has proposed a
detached sidewalk which is consistent with the Town Center streetscape design, with
tree species for the streetscape and overall site that are also in compliance with the
Town Center Development Standards.

The subject site is located on the eastern side of Riley Street where Riley Street
terminates with a cul-de-sac at the Clark County 215 to the south. The subject site is
approximately 370 feet away from residential dwellings allowing for compliance with
both the Residential Adjacency Standards set forth by Title 19.08.040(H) and Chapter
B, Section 5, subsection E of the Town Center Development Standards for mechanical
and electrical equipment. The Wireless Communication Facility is a stealth design,
designed to resemble a palm tree. Faux palm prongs will camouflage the antennas, with
the equipment enclosure being constructed of the same materials as the Mini-Storage
Facility buildings. The applicant has also proposed landscape shrubbery lining the
exterior of the enclosure, and staff has added a Condition of Approval to include palm
trees along the eastern landscape buffer to aid in the camouflaging of the tower with the
area. Additionally, Washingtonian Robusta (Fan Palms) are able to reach heights of 60-
70 feet, with a 10-12-inch trunk diameter making this palm tree a viable choice for a
seven-foot wide landscape buffer adjacent to a 3-story, 42-foot tall building.
Given the location of the subject at the terminus of a cul-de-sac adjacent to the Clark
County 215, the applicant has requested a Waiver of the side setback for the southern
property line that is directly adjacent to the 215. The applicant has requested to place
the building on the property line and not provide a landscape buffer along the southern
property line. Additionally, the applicant has requested a Waiver of the rear setback to
allow seven feet where 20 feet is required, and to allow storage units on the first floor of
the facility where such is not allowed. With this portion of the Clark County 215 being
elevated, and Riley Street terminating at the 215t, staff finds this portion of Riley Street
to not be conducive to pedestrian traffic and supports the multiple Waiver requests.

Staff finds the proposed development to be compatible and harmonious with the
surrounding area and is recommending approval of all three applications. If denied, the
applicant will not be able to build the proposed development.
FINDINGS (SUP-69217)
In order to approve a Special Use Permit application, per Title 19.16.110(L) the Planning
Commission and City Council must affirm the following:
The proposed Mini-Storage Facility is adjacent to the Clark County 215 to the
south, and is surrounded by property also designated Main Street Mixed Use
within the Town Center Master Plan area. The Main Street Mixed Use district
supports small town development that includes leisure shopping, offices, and high
density residential. The proposed Mini-Storage Facility can be conducted in a
manner that is harmonious and compatible with future surrounding land uses as it
will be located at the terminus of a cul-de-sac adjacent to the 215 which is not
ideal for residences, nor does it encourage pedestrian traffic for leisure shopping.

The proposed Mini-Storage Facility has met the minimum standards set forth by
the Town Center Development Standards except for Requirement b, which
requires storage units to be located on the second floor and above to allow for
retail and office use on the first floor. As indicated above, the subject site is not
conducive to pedestrian traffic and will not be inconsistent with the goals of the
Main Street Mixed use district of the Town Center Development Manual, nor will it
compromise the public health, safety, or welfare.
5. The use meets all of the applicable conditions per Title 19.12.
The proposed Mini-Storage Facility use has met all of the applicable conditions of
the Town Center Development Standards Manual except for Requirement b,
which restricts storage units from being located on the first floor. The applicant has
requested a Waiver of this request as the facility will be located at the terminus of
a cul-de-sac which will see little to no pedestrian traffic to support retail land uses
on the first floor.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing to install two 47.2 square-foot wall signs on the north and
east walls of an existing Medical Marijuana Dispensary at 1324 South 3rd Street, with
both signs oriented towards 3rd Street.
ISSUES
ANALYSIS
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use were reviewed for
compliance and approved as Special Use Permit (SUP-55264). This request would
amend Requirements 8 and 11 in the following manner:
8. Signage for the establishment shall be limited to one wall sign per street
frontage, the face of the sign not to exceed thirty square feet in area and not to
exceed two feet in height. Such a sign shall be internally illuminated, with the use
of neon prohibited.
The applicant has requested a Waiver of this condition to utilize two proposed
47.2 square-foot wall signs on one street frontage located on the north and east
elevation of the proposed building in conjunction with an existing Medical
Marijuana Dispensary. Staff does not support this request, as the proposed signs
do not conform to Title 19.12 signage standards associated with a Medical
Marijuana Dispensary use and have a larger sign area and height, which is not
compatible with the adjacent land uses.
JB
SUP-69210 [PRJ-69017]
Staff Report Page Two
April 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
*11. Elevations and signage must first be reviewed by the Downtown Design
Review Committee established pursuant to LVMC 19.10.100(D)(1) prior to any
public hearing for a Special Use Permit. The review will be performed in
accordance with the procedures set forth in LVMC 19.10.100(D), as in the case
of reviews normally performed by that Committee, but measuring compliance
instead with the substantive standards for elevations and signage pertaining to
dispensaries that are set forth in this Title or that have been established
administratively by the Director.
The previously approved building elevations and signage were reviewed and
approved subject to conditions by the Downtown Design Review Committee
(DDRC) on August 19th, 2014. The newly proposed wall sign elevations and
signage were reviewed on March 21st, 2017 by the Downtown Design Review
Committee (DDRC) per Architectural Design Review (ARC-69209). The DDRC
recommended denial of the request as the sign was deemed inappropriate for
the subject site and associated land use.
The subject site provides the required parking for the proposed use. Other than the
Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements found within Title 19.12, there are no
special development requirements pertaining to the site. However, staff does not
support the requested Waiver to allow two proposed 47.2 square-foot wall signs on one
street frontage located on the north and east elevation of the proposed building, as the
proposed wall signs do not conform to Title 19.12 signage standards associated with a
Medical Marijuana Dispensary use. Staff has determined use of the proposed larger
sign area and height is not compatible with the adjacent land uses. Additionally, this will
also set a negative precedent for other Medical Marijuana establishments which will
also seek waivers to amend their previously approved signage, therefore, staff
recommends denial with conditions.
FINDINGS (SUP-69210)
In order to approve a Special Use Permit application, per Title 19.16.110(L) the Planning
Commission and City Council must affirm the following:
The subject site complies with all minimum distance requirements as set forth by
Title 19.12 and therefore Medical Marijuana Dispensary use can be conducted in
a compatible and harmonious manner with the existing surrounding land uses and
future land uses as projected by the General Plan.

2. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use
proposed.
The site contains a 3,340 square-foot commercial building and adequate parking
for all uses. The proposed use does not generate the need for any additional
parking spaces beyond what has been provided onsite.
The proposed Medical Marijuana Dispensary can be accessed from 3rd Street, a
80-foot Major Collector, as depicted on the Master Plan of Streets and Highway
that has adequate capacity to serve the proposed development.
4. Approval of the Special Use Permit at the site in question will not be
inconsistent with or compromise the public health, safety, and welfare or
the overall objectives of the General Plan.
The proposed Medical Marijuana Dispensary use will be subject to regular City
and County inspections for licensing and will therefore not compromise the public
health, safety, and general welfare or any objective of the General Plan.
5. The use meets all of the applicable conditions per Title 19.12.
The proposed Medical Marijuana Dispensary use meets all distance separation
requirements per Title 19.12. However, the use does not comply with Condition
#8, which states that Signage for the establishment shall be limited to one wall
sign per street frontage, the face of the sign not to exceed thirty square feet in
area and not to exceed two feet in height. Such a sign shall be internally
illuminated, with the use of neon prohibited. The applicant has requested a
Waiver of this condition to allow two proposed 47.2 square-foot wall signs on one
street frontage, which exceed 30 square feet in conjunction with an existing
Medical Marijuana Dispensary.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting to replace an existing Restaurant with Service Bar use with
a Restaurant with Alcohol use at 2620 Regatta Drive, Suite #118 located within an
existing shopping center in Desert Shores. The proposed establishment will occupy
5,783 square feet of interior space in addition to 3,590 square feet of outdoor patio
space.
ISSUES
A Special Use Permit is required for a Restaurant with Alcohol use in a C-1 (Limited
Commercial) district. Staff does not support this request.
A Waiver is required to allow a Restaurant with Alcohol to have a zero-foot distance
separation from a Synagogue, where a minimum of 400 feet is required. Staff does
not support this request.
A similar request for a Supper Club was submitted for this location in 2013. Staff
recommended denial, and Planning Commissions denied the request on 05/14/13.
No significant changes have occurred in the area to justify a change in staffs
recommendation.
ANALYSIS
The applicant is proposing to establish a Restaurant with Alcohol use within an existing
shopping center within the same lease space currently occupied by a Restaurant with
Service Bar use. The subject site is located with the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning
district, within Desert Shores. The submitted plans indicate the proposed establishment
will utilize 5,783 square feet of space with a 3,590 square-foot outdoor patio with
approximately 224 seats for dining.
The subject site is located in an existing 69,904 square-foot shopping center. The
existing commercial subdivision provides shared access and parking throughout the
subject site. The proposal adheres to all minimum parking requirements.
A Restaurant with Alcohol use is described in Tile 19.12 as: A restaurant and bar
operation with alcoholic beverage sales in which:
JB
SUP-69259 [PRJ-69206]
Staff Report Page Two
April 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
1. The actual seating available at all times within the dining area will
accommodate at least 100 persons. For purposes of this requirement, the
dining area does not include bar stool seating at the bar or lounge seating,
but may include table or booth seating within the bar area and table seating
within a patio area;
2. Alcoholic beverages are served in the restaurant area only in conjunction with
the service of food;
3. Full-course meals are available during all hours the bar area is open to the
public;
4. A cook and food server, other than a bartender, are available at all times the
bar area is open to the public; and
5. The restaurant operation is the principal portion of the business.
The applicant has applied for a Waiver to allow a Restaurant with Alcohol use to
be zero-feet from a synagogue.

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 condition is not applicable, the subject site is not located on a parcel of at
least 80 acres of size.
The applicant has applied for a Waiver to allow a restaurant with alcohol to be
zero-feet from a synagogue.
This condition is not applicable. The subject site is located with an existing
shopping center with 69,904 square feet of retail floor space, which is located
zero feet from an existing Synagogue where 400 feet is required. However, the
subject site is not located within an establishment which has a non-restricted
gaming license in connection with a hotel having 200 or more guest rooms.
This condition is not applicable; the proposed use is not located in a C-V (Civic)
zoning district.
* 7. All businesses which sell alcoholic beverages shall conform to the provisions
of LVMC Chapter 6.50.
The proposed use will be subject to all business licensing requirements outlined
in LVMC Chapter 6.50 if approved.

Staff Report Page Four
April 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
Although the applicant has operated a Restaurant with Service Bar for several years at
this location, the Restaurant with Alcohol use would intensify the overall liquor use at
the site. The distance separation of 400 feet was established to protect the Synagogue
use located in the same shopping center. Staff does not support this request due to the
Waiver required.
FINDINGS (SUP-69259)
In order to approve a Special Use Permit application, per Title 19.16.110(L) the Planning
Commission and City Council must affirm the following:
2. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use
proposed.
The subject site is physically suitable for the proposed use within the existing
shopping center.
The site is accessed from Regatta and Breakwater Drives, both are 55-foot
streets. The site access and circulation do not impact the adjacent roadways or
neighborhood traffic and it is part of the existing shopping center.
4. Approval of the Special Use Permit at the site in question will not be
inconsistent with or compromise the public health, safety, and welfare or
the overall objectives of the General Plan.
Approval of the Special Use Permit at this location for a Restaurant with Alcohol
use as indicated on the site plan will not compromise the public health, safety, or
general welfare of the public. However, the overall objectives of the General Plan
will not be met, due to the required distance separation Waiver.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant requests to utilize approximately 2,600 square feet of space in the
basement of the existing 38,359 square-foot Mob Museum for an ancillary brewpub and
accessory liquor manufacturing (craft distillery) use. The bar and seating area would be
approximately 1,656 square feet, while the microbrewing area would occupy
approximately 934 square feet. The brewpub area would be integrated into the
museum tours as a Prohibition era speakeasy, while the manufacturing component
would be represented as a distillery for production of moonshine and beer. No gaming
is proposed.
ISSUES
The manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages as proposed through this request
falls under the Liquor Establishment (Tavern) category. Per Title 19.10.020, the
Liquor Establishment (Tavern) use is permitted in the C-V (Civic) zoning district with
the approval of a Special Use Permit. The craft distillery is ancillary to the Liquor
Establishment (Tavern) use at this location.
A Waiver of the 1,500-foot distance separation requirement from an existing Liquor
Establishment (Tavern) use is necessary for approval of the Special Use Permit.
This provision is waivable per Requirement 5 of the Special Use Permit as listed in
Title 19.12. Staff supports this Waiver request.
ANALYSIS
A Liquor Establishment (Tavern) use is described in Title 19.12 as: A facility which sells
alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises where the same are sold and
authorizes the sale, to consumers only and not for resale, of alcoholic beverages in
original sealed or corked containers, for consumption off the premises where the same
are sold.
The proposed use meets the definition, as the Museum proposes to offer alcoholic
beverages for sale and consumption on the premises and off the premises in sealed
containers. Although an associated Tavern license allows for restricted gaming within
establishments containing this use, no gaming is proposed at this location.
SS
SUP-69331 [PRJ-68945]
Staff Report Page Two
April 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include (an asterisk
indicates that the requirement is nonwaivable):
* 1. Pursuant to its general authority to regulate the sale of alcoholic beverages, the
City Council declares that the public health, safety and general welfare of the City
are best promoted and protected by generally requiring both a minimum
separation between liquor establishments (tavern), and a minimum separation
between a liquor establishment (tavern) and certain other uses that should be
protected from the impacts associated with a liquor establishment (tavern).
Therefore, except as otherwise provided below, no liquor establishment (tavern)
may be located within 1500 feet of any other liquor establishment (tavern),
church/house of worship, school, individual care center licensed for more than 12
children, or City park.
All applicable distance separations have been measured from property line to
property line without regard to intervening obstacles.
a. The property line of a protected use refers to the property line of a fee
interest parcel that has been created by an approved and recorded parcel
map or subdivision map, and does not include the property line of a leasehold
parcel; and
SS
SUP-69331 [PRJ-68945]
Staff Report Page Three
April 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
A. Using the property line of that parcel for the purpose of measuring the
distance separation referred to in Requirement 1 would qualify the
parcel under the distance separation requirement;
B. The proposed liquor establishment (tavern) will have direct access
(both ingress and egress) from a street having a minimum right-of-way
width of 100 feet. The required access may be shared with a larger
development but must be located within the property lines of the
parcel on which the proposed liquor establishment (tavern) will be
located;
C. All parking spaces required by this Subchapter 19.12.070 for the
liquor establishment (tavern) use will be located on the same parcel
as the use; and
D. The owners of all parcels within the commercial subdivision, including
the owner of agreement, satisfactory to the City Attorney, that
provides for perpetual, reciprocal cross-access, ingress and egress
throughout the commercial subdivision.
For informational purposes, Subparagraph (a) above applies with regard to the
distance separation requirement. The protected use is situated on Lot 1 of Lady
Luck (A Commercial Subdivision).
4. The distance separation requirement set forth in Requirement 1 does not apply to
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.
This requirement is not applicable, as the proposed use would not be located
within an existing hotel or resort hotel.
a. Will be located on a parcel within the C-V District, the Parkway Center District
within the Downtown Centennial Plan, the Gaming Enterprise Overlay District,
or the Downtown Casino Overlay District;
b. Will be located on a parcel or within a building that, pursuant to State law or
City ordinance, has been designated as an historic property, historic building,
or landmark;
c. Will be located within a regional mall; or
d. Will be located within a mixed-use development
i. That has been approved by means of Special Use Permit pursuant to
LVMC Chapters 19.12 and 19.16;
SS
SUP-69331 [PRJ-68945]
Staff Report Page Four
April 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The proposed use meets this requirement. Pursuant to Subparagraph (a) above,
the site is located on a parcel zoned C-V (Civic). Pursuant to Subparagraph (b)
above, the existing building where the use is to be located has been designated
as an historic property by local, state and federal agencies. These conditions
allow the applicant to request a waiver of the 1,500-foot distance separation
requirement between similar uses.
* 6. The use shall conform to, and is subject to, the provisions of LVMC Chapters
6.40 and 6.50.
LVMC Title 19.10.020(D) permits a Liquor Establishment (Tavern) use in the C-V (Civic)
District with approval of a Special Use Permit, as long as the parcel or use is operated
or controlled by an agency or subdivision of local, state or federal government. In this
case, the parcel is owned by the City of Las Vegas. There are several taverns within
1,500 feet of the subject property. However, per Title 19.12.070, the distance
separation requirement may be waived for taverns that are proposed to be located on a
parcel within the C-V District with adequate justification from the applicant. The nearest
taverns are located in the hotel/casinos south of Stewart Avenue, an 80-foot right-of-
way. Additional exterior improvements, including a loading dock ramp and vestibule at
the external stairwell are proposed under separate application.
The proposed tavern area occupies only a portion of the basement of the museum. The
use would be situated adjacent to an existing kitchen for maintenance and for catering
special events. Entry is proposed from the interior near the restrooms or from an
exterior stairwell on the east side of the building. Both the bar/lounge area and distillery
would be part of an interactive museum exhibit. Patron access to the distillery is limited
to the display exhibit only. Regular hours of operation are expected to coincide with
tours of the museum, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 midnight Sunday through Thursday and
from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays. These times may be extended for
special events. According to the applicant, minors would be allowed access to the
exhibits until 5:00 p.m., but only under parental and staff supervision and with
wristbands identifying that they are under 21 years of age.
SS
SUP-69331 [PRJ-68945]
Staff Report Page Five
April 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The Tavern license allows off-premise sales of package liquor, but sales cannot be
advertised. The retail area must be located behind the bar or a counter. The applicant
plans limited sales of sealed containers and merchandise as souvenirs.
The distance separation waiver request is appropriate, as the location of the Liquor
Establishment (Tavern) is in the basement level of a building without direct
advertisement on the exterior. As such, it would have no effect on the saturation of
similar uses in this area. Moreover, access to the bar area is limited and strictly
supervised by museum staff. The integration of a tavern and distillery into the
programmatic activities of the museum not only provides an interactive historical
educational display for visitors, but affords community space for patrons during and
after tours. Staff therefore recommends approval of the Special Use Permit with
conditions if approved.
FINDINGS (SUP-69331)
In order to approve a Special Use Permit application, per Title 19.16.110(L) the Planning
Commission and City Council must affirm the following:
2. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use
proposed.
The primary use of the site is for a Museum. The site has adequate access and
parking to accommodate this use. Approval of a Special Use Permit for a Liquor
Establishment (Tavern) use would not increase the demand for parking on this
site.
SS
SUP-69331 [PRJ-68945]
Staff Report Page Six
April 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
Access to the site is provided by Stewart Avenue, an 80-foot wide Major Collector
as denoted on the Master Plan of Streets and Highways. The existing driveways
are adequate to accommodate the proposed Liquor Establishment (Tavern) use at
this location.
4. Approval of the Special Use Permit at the site in question will not be
inconsistent with or compromise the public health, safety, and welfare or
the overall objectives of the General Plan.
The proposed Liquor Establishment (Tavern) use will be subject to building permit
and licensing review and periodic inspection, and therefore will not compromise
the health, safety or welfare of the public.
5. The use meets all of the applicable conditions per Title 19.12.
The proposed use fails to meet Special Use Requirement Number 1, which
requires a 1,500-foot distance separation from the property line of the parcel
where the use is located to the property line of a protected use (in this case
another tavern). As the property is zoned C-V and is controlled by a local
governmental agency, this requirement may be waived for sufficient cause. Staff
supports the waiver request in this instance.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
ISSUES
Waivers have been requested to allow a zero-foot wide landscape buffer with no
perimeter landscaping on the north property line; a six-foot wide landscape buffer on
the east property line; a two-foot wide landscape buffer on a portion of the west
property line; and a 10-foot wide landscape buffer on a portion of the south property
line. Staff does not support the waiver requests.
ANALYSIS
The subject site (8504 Smoke Ranch Road) is located on the north side of Smoke
Ranch Road approximately 315 feet east of Buffalo Drive and is a 2.22 acre vacant lot.
The site was rezoned from U (Undeveloped) to C-1 (Limited Commercial) by the City
council on 10/21/15, and an 80-bed Convalescent Care Facilty/Nursing Home was also
approved on the same date. No waivers were required at the time, and staff
recommended approval of that project. That facility was never constructed.
After submittal of their application, the applicant submitted revised site plan and
landscape plan drawings dated 03/08/17 to provide the appropriate side setbacks, and
now is in conformance with all setback requirements for the C-1 (Limited Commercial)
zoning district.
PB
SDR-68686 [PRJ-68685]
Staff Report Page Two
April 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The proposed facility will have 27 parking spaces, where 23 are required by the UDC.
Access to the site will be from two driveways off of Smoke Ranch Road, and the
majority of parking is provided in front of the facility. A 25-foot wide access drive allows
access to the rear of the facility along the east and then north property lines. The
Department of Fire and Rescue requires a turnaround or secondary egress from the
site. The current proposal doesnt provide enough room for a turnaround, so the
applicant is proposing to have access to the cul-de-sac bulb on the property to the
north. Staff is including a condition of approval that a perpetual access
easement/agreement be submitted prior to the issuance of building permits for the
facility to protect the health and safety of future residents.
The proposed facility would be composed of stucco walls, a tiled gabled roof structure,
and have vinyl windows. The existing medical offices on the north and east, and the
retail center on the west are all flat roofed structures with parapets. The only gabled
roof structures in the immediate vicinity are the single family homes on the south side of
Smoke Ranch Road which are on 41-foot wide lots. The proposed facility includes a
gabled roof structure that spans nearly the full length of the 295-foot wide facility. While
the use proposed is quasi-residential, the adjacent non-residential structures in the Las
Vegas Technology Center are the overwhelming aesthetic and therefore the proposed
gabled roof structure is incompatible with the surrounding development.
To make the proposed elevations more compatible with the surrounding development,
to give the sense of a base to the architectural design and to provide some visual
interest along the nearly 300-foot front faade, staff is recommending a condition that a
stone veneer be added to all elevations at a level just below the window trim.
Additionally, the submitted elevations appear to depict a chain link fence on the south
faade, which would be aesthetically incompatible with the surrounding developments.
Staff is recommending a condition of approval that requires all fencing on the site to be
decorative wrought iron with stucco columns.
The landscape plan submitted by the applicant reflects the waivers that they are
requesting for the proposal. On the north property line, where an eight-foot wide
landscape buffer is required, the applicant is proposing to have no landscape buffer or
landscape materials. On the east property line, where an eight-foot wide landscape
buffer is required, the applicant is proposing to have a six-foot wide landscape buffer.
On the south property line, where a 15-foot wide landscape buffer is required, the
applicant is proposing that portions of that buffer be 10 feet in width. Finally, on the
west property line, where an eight-foot wide landscape buffer is required, the applicant
is proposing that portions of that buffer be 2 feet in width. Staff finds that these requests
are indicative of a proposal that overbuilds the subject site and therefore does not
support the waivers.

April 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The rest of the landscape plan is in accordance with the requirements of the UDC for
the number and species of landscape materials proposed, including the provision of
parking lot landscaping.
Staff finds that the use is appropriate for the site, but this proposal will overbuild the site,
hence the necessity to request landscape waivers for every property line, and therefore
recommends denial. Recommended conditions have been included should the
proposal be approved.
FINDINGS (SDR-68686)
In order to approve a Site Development Plan Review application, per Title 19.16.100(E)
the Planning Commission and/or City Council must affirm the following:
The existing developments fronting on Smoke Ranch Road on either side of the
subject site provide landscape buffer widths in accordance with the UDC and flat
rooves with parapets instead of a gabled roof forms. Therefore, the proposal is
incompatible with adjacent development.
2. The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan, this Title,
the Design Standards Manual, the Landscape, Wall and Buffer Standards,
and other duly-adopted city plans, policies and standards;
The proposal includes several landscape waivers which means the development
is not consistent with the UDC and the Wall and Buffer Standards.
The proposal includes two driveways off of Smoke Ranch, a Primary Arterial,
which is sufficient to handle the traffic associated with this use.
4. Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the
City;
Stucco, tile roofing and vinyl windows are typical building materials in the city, and
the landscape materials are appropriate for the region.
PB
SDR-68686 [PRJ-68685]
Staff Report Page Four
April 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
While not unsightly, the choice to use a gabled roof form adjacent to several
existing medical offices and a retail center that all have flat rooves with parapets is
incompatible with development in the area. Additionally, the lack of a distinct base
material to the architectural design and the inclusion of chain link fencing would
create an aesthetically displeasing development.
6. Appropriate measures are taken to secure and protect the public health,
safety and general welfare.
If approved, the project will be subject to building permit review and business
licensing requirements and ongoing inspection to assure it continues to operate
respective of public health, safety and welfare.

April 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The building is designed to occupy the entire parcel, with building edges at the property
lines and slight aerial encroachments into the public right-of-way. Per Section VII.C of
the Downtown Centennial Plan, architectural features must be carried around all sides
of the building, and extended, blank, expressionless walls at the street levels are
prohibited, unless a waiver is approved. While the elevations facing public rights-of-way
contain storefront windows, awnings and canopies, the north elevation is proposed to
contain flat, windowless walls with slight recesses and changes in paint color, and the
west elevation is to contain openings for a service area and metallic meshing at the
parking garage levels. The applicant states that because the north elevation does not
directly face the right-of-way and the intent of the Downtown Centennial Plan is to
provide features within the pedestrian zone along rights-of-way, using the same
architectural features along the north elevation is not necessary and a waiver of this
standard is warranted. The changes in paint color that have been provided align with
window patterns on upper floors. However, staff contends that the adjacent building to
the north is one story only and is separated from the property line by a driveway, which
allows the full faade of the building to be revealed and visible from 6th Street. The
proposed color bands and recesses are not adequate to meet the intent of the
Downtown Centennial Plan to provide continuity of design from the upper floors as well
as the architecture displayed along Hoover Avenue and 6th Street. Staff therefore
recommends denial of the waiver.
Title 19 parking standards are not automatically applied within the Downtown
Centennial Plan Overlay District. The applicant is proposing 180 parking spaces within
five levels in the building, a 71 percent reduction from Title 19 requirements outside of
Downtown. This accounts for about 0.61 spaces per proposed unit or one space per
138 square feet of commercial space. The applicant assumes the parking areas will be
occupied at staggered peak hours for different uses. A majority of the units proposed
are microunits, and many of the renters are expected to use ride sharing and walk to
jobs and services in the area, which will reduce the need for onsite parking.
Two spaces for drop-off and pick-up of patrons are proposed along Hoover Avenue.
These spaces are approximately 10 feet wide by 20 feet long, which do not meet
standards for parallel parking or loading spaces. These spaces are currently metered;
additional municipal code requirements must be met addressing the use of these
spaces.

April 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The Clark County Department of Aviation has determined that the proposed building will
exceed 200 feet in height and the 100:1 slope threshold for notification to the Federal
Aviation Administration and has provided conditions of approval to ensure conformance
with federal aviation regulations and the protection of navigable airspace and airport
operations.
The Clark County School District projects that approximately 75 additional primary and
secondary school students would be generated by the proposed development on this
site. Helen Smith Elementary School and Walter Johnson Middle School are near or
over capacity for the 2016-2017 school year. In particular, Helen Smith Elementary
School is at 125 percent of program capacity.
Many of the objectives of the Downtown Centennial Plan are incorporated into the
design of the proposed mixed-use development, and the featuring of microunits will fill a
niche for this area of the city. However, staff cannot support the design of the north
elevation, which leaves large visible areas of wall space that do not integrate with the
overall design. Staff therefore recommends denial, with conditions if approved. If
denied, the development could not be constructed as proposed.
FINDINGS (SDR-69225)
In order to approve a Site Development Plan Review application, per Title 19.16.100(E)
the Planning Commission and/or City Council must affirm the following:
2. The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan, this Title,
the Design Standards Manual, the Landscape, Wall and Buffer Standards,
and other duly-adopted city plans, policies and standards;
The proposed mixed-use development is consistent with the General Plan and
conforms to most requirements of the Downtown South District of the Downtown
Centennial Plan; however, a waiver is required from the Architectural Design
Standards contained within the Plan, which staff cannot support.

April 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
Access to the site would be from a public alley with a two-way driveway from
Hoover Avenue between Las Vegas Boulevard and 6th Street. Circulation
through the site is limited to the enclosed parking garage. The proposed access
is not expected to negatively affect traffic in the area.
4. Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the
City;
Building materials include painted EIFS and tilt-up concrete, colored glazing and a
metallic mesh at the parking levels. These materials are acceptable for this area.
Landscape materials include drought-tolerant 36-inch box Goldenrain shade
trees, which are labeled as bulletproof by the Southern Nevada Regional
Planning Coalition Regional Plant List and are appropriate for the Downtown area.
The proposed building elevations do not meet the Downtown Centennial Plan
architectural standard requiring features to be carried on all sides of the building,
and the north elevation provides only flat, windowless, painted walls at the parking
levels with little design continuity with upper levels. Aesthetically, the elevations
are therefore not harmonious and compatible with surrounding development.
6. Appropriate measures are taken to secure and protect the public health,
safety and general welfare.
Development of the site will be subject to building permit and business licensing
review and inspection, thereby protecting the health, safety and welfare of the
public.

Pre-Application Meeting
A pre-application meeting was held with the applicant to discuss
submittal requirements for a Site Development Plan Review
02/21/17 application. After discussion, it was determined that a waiver for a
non-standard sidewalk along Hoover Avenue would not be needed in
order to maintain the same curb alignment throughout the block.
Neighborhood Meeting
A neighborhood meeting is not required, nor was one held.
Field Check
03/02/17 The site is undeveloped and enclosed by a temporary chain link fence.

*Projects located within the Las Vegas Downtown Centennial Plan area are not subject to
the automatic application of parking requirements, including loading standards. However,
the above table should be used to illustrate the requirements of an analogous project in
another location in the City. The applicant has the option of using the Mixed-Use
Development Alternative Parking Requirement found in Table 2 of Title 19.18.030(D). As
illustrated by the table below, fewer spaces are required using the alternative requirement
than with standard Title 19.12 requirements.

Except for handicapped parking, Title 19 parking requirements are not automatically
applied within the boundaries of the Downtown Centennial Plan Overlay District, but are
subject to conditions imposed by the City Council if needed. The applicant is providing
approximately 0.61 spaces per residential unit and no additional spaces for commercial
uses, with the expectation that many commercial patrons and visitors will use modes of
transportation other than automobiles. Metered on-street parking is also available in
this area. Six handicap-accessible parking spaces must be provided to full City
standards, accounting for two percent of the multi-family units. The floor plans indicate
that six spaces will be provided, including two van-accessible spaces as required by
Title 19.18.

CITY OF LAS VEGAS
PLANNING COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL
RECOMMENDATIONS / COMMENTS
LOCATION: 139-34-410-199
COMMENTS:
Federal Aviation Regulations (Title 14, Part 77) require that the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) be notified before the construction or alteration of any building or structure greater than
200 feet in height ( 77.13(a)(1)) or that will exceed a slope of 100:1 for a distance of 20,000
feet from the nearest point of any airport runway greater than 3,200 feet in length ( 77.13
(a)(2)(i)). Such notification allows the FAA to determine what impact, if any, the proposed
development will have upon navigable airspace, and allows the FAA to determine whether the
development requires obstruction marking or lighting.
The proposed development will exceed the 100:1 notice requirement for McCarran International
Airport (LAS). Therefore, as required by 14 CFR Part 77, the FAA must be notified of the
proposed construction or alteration. The CCDOA requests that the City of Las Vegas impose
the conditions listed below for the project:
Applicant is required to file a valid FAA Form 7460-1, "Notice of Proposed Construction
or Alteration" with the FAA, in accordance with 14 CFR Part 77, or submit to the Clark
County Director of Aviation a Property Owners Shielding Determination Statement
and request written concurrence from the Clark County Department of Aviation;
No Building Permit or other construction permit shall be issued for any structure greater
than 35 feet above the surface of land that, based upon the FAAs 7460 airspace
determination (the outcome of filing the FAA Form 7460-1), would (a) constitute a
hazard to air navigation, (b) would result in an increase to minimum flight altitudes
during any phase of flight (unless approved by the Department of Aviation), or (c) would
otherwise be determined to pose a significant adverse impact on airport or aircraft
operations.
Applicant is advised that FAAs airspace determinations are dependent on petitions by
any interested party and the height that will not present a hazard as determined by the
FAA may change based on these comments.
Applicant is advised that the FAAs airspace determinations include expiration dates and
that the separate airspace determinations will be needed for construction cranes or other
temporary equipment.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request to amend Las Vegas Municipal Code (LVMC) Title 19.12.070 and
19.18.020 for the Medical Marijuana Cultivation Facility, Medical Marijuana
Dispensary and Medical Marijuana Production Facility use.
ANALYSIS
Nevada voters approved Question 2 in the general election of 2016. Question 2 took
effect on January 1, 2017. Viewed broadly, Question 2 accomplishes two purposes: (1)
it legalizes the adult recreational use of marijuana; and (2) it creates a regulatory
structure within the Nevada Department of Taxation so that marijuana can be cultivated,
manufactured, distributed, and sold in retail outlets. Question 2 has now been codified
at Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) Chapter 453D.
The City of Las Vegas Title 19 has permissible use categories for Medical Marijuana
Cultivation Facility, Medical Marijuana Dispensary, and Medical Marijuana
Production Facility. Title 19 does not provide land use categories for the retail
marijuana establishments expected to open according to the Department of Taxations
timelines.
This text amendment is a proactive measure to provide permissible use categories for
marijuana establishments that will cultivate, manufacture or produce, or sell
recreational marijuana in accordance with NRS 453D and the Department of
Taxations temporary regulations. Marijuana distributors are not addressed in this
change and will be addressed by a subsequent amendment to the LVMC.

Staff Report Page Two
April 11, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
Secondary impacts of this proposed ordinance includes the potential for making existing
marijuana uses legal nonconforming, by way of adopting the States more restrictive
distance separation requirements. The number of entitled or established marijuana
establishments impacted by this proposed ordinance would include the 12 medical
marijuana dispensaries, two cultivation, and two production facilities. As a result, Title
19.14 of the Unified Development Code (UDC) would apply to these sites if indeed a
protected use, as listed by the State exists within the required distance separation.
FINDINGS (TXT-69603)
Creates one permissible use category for both medical and recreational/retail
marijuana land uses.
Encapsulate the current State regulations on marijuana within the LVMC to the
best of our abilities.
Eliminate the need for an aesthetic review by the Downtown Design Review
Committee (DDRC).
