** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The request is for a 100-lot single family residential subdivision on 20.30 acres within
parcel 2.28 of the Skye Canyon Master Plan Area. A Waiver has been requested to
allow an internal intersection offset of 84 feet where is 125 feet is required.
ISSUES

The recordation of the Parent Final Map for Skye Canyon Phase II (FMP-61563) is
required prior to the recordation of any builder parcel final map.

A Waiver has been requested to allow an internal intersection offset of 84 feet


where is 125 feet is required. Staff recommends approval of the request.

This 100-lot residential development will be built to Skye Canyon R-1 (Single
Family Residential) standards in accordance with the approved Sky Canyon
Development Standards. Staff recommends approval of the Tentative 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 Skye Canyon Development Standards.
The Skye Canyon Land Use Plan designates the subject property as ML (Residential
Medium-Low), which allows up to 15 residential units per gross acre with an overall
average of 8.49 units per acre. The proposed density of 4.93 dwelling units per acre
falls within the maximum allowed. The dwelling units will be constructed to the Skye
Canyon R-1 (Single Family Residential) standard, which call for a single family
detached product with a minimum lot size of 4,500 square feet. All proposed lot sizes
are greater than 5,250 square feet, which exceeds the district minimum. As this site is
part of a master plan with its own improvement standards, it is not subject to Title 19.04
street section requirements; however, it must comply with the applicable Skye Canyon
street sections. The correct street sections have been depicted 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 (exterior) and eight feet (interior) are allowed along
the perimeter of the site. The cross sections are in compliance with these requirements.

5.

Per Title 19.16.060.W.1, add a note to the Final Map stating All lots created by

Staff Report Page One
January 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant requests approval of a Tentative Map for a one-lot commercial
subdivision on 21.77 acres located on the south side of Owens Avenue, between H
Street and J Street.

ISSUES

The subject site is developed; there are no proposed changes or additions to the
site.
The applicant has stated within the submitted justification letter that it intends to
create a one-lot commercial subdivision so that a record of survey can be done at a
later date to create separate ownership parcels on the site.

ANALYSIS
There is an existing 135,750 square-foot commercial development on the subject site.
All existing structures on the site meet the Title 19 requirements for the C-1 (Limited
Commercial) zoning district.
Access to the site is provided from one driveway off of Owens Avenue, J Street and H
Street. As the site is developed, all grading and drainage has already taken place and
will not be an issue. Site circulation is logical throughout the site and will be unaffected
by mapping. Parking and access is intended to be 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 not shown with this
Tentative Map submittal. However, since this property and all surrounding property is
developed or graded, no retaining walls are shown or anticipated as no changes are
proposed.
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 applicant is requesting to combine the four existing parcels of land at the southeast
corner of Charleston and Jones into a commercial subdivision and construct a
convenience store with fuel pumps along the north property line. The existing business
school on the south portion of the site would remain.

ISSUES

A General Plan Amendment (GPA-67898) is requested from SC (Service


Commercial) to MXU (Mixed Use) on a narrow strip of land (APN 163-01-102-037)
that is owned by the applicant but which was not previously included in the Citys
Redevelopment Area 2 (RDA2).
Assessors Parcel Number 163-01-102-037 is expected to be added to RDA2
through an administrative action, which will allow the four parcels comprising this site
to be combined in one mapping action. This action may or may not occur prior to
the January 10, 2017 Planning Commission meeting, but will need to occur prior to
final approval of this General Plan Amendment by the City Council.
A Petition to Vacate (VAC-68131) a portion of the 10-foot public drainage easement
over APN 163-01-102-037 is requested by the applicant in conjunction with the
proposed tentative map, which will allow for a landscape buffer along the east
property line that conforms to Unified Development Code requirements. Staff
recommends vacation of the entire drainage easement.
A Gaming Establishment, General Business Related use is permitted in the C-1
(Limited Commercial) zoning district with the approval of a Special Use Permit. No
alcohol can be sold on this site, as it is within the separation radius of a preexisting
protected use.
A Waiver of Title 19.08 is requested to allow the proposed retail building to not be
oriented to the corner and street frontages where such is required. Staff
recommends approval of the waiver.
A Tentative Map is requested to combine all parcels on the subject site into one
commercial lot. Staff recommends approval of the tentative map.

ANALYSIS
All development is subject to the standards of LVMC Title 19. Tentative Maps are
subject to Title 19.16.050 and NRS requirements.

Staff Report Page Two
January 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting

The north side of this site contains an existing parking lot, which was created after a
building containing a Thriftshop and other retail uses was removed from that area. This
parking lot will be replaced by the proposed convenience store development. The
existing Business School on this site will remain. While this Site Development Plan
Review applies to the entire site, only the newly proposed development along the north
portion of the site is subject to current Unified Development Code requirements.
APN 163-01-102-037, which contains a paved drive aisle and public drainage
easement, is currently not a part of the Citys Redevelopment Area 2 (RDA2) and
therefore has a different General Plan Land Use designation (SC) than the other three
parcels associated with this site (MXU). Therefore, they cannot be mapped together
unless and until all parcels have the same General Plan designation and either APNs
163-01-102-001, 002 and 007 are removed from RDA2 or APN 163-01-102-037 is
added to RDA2. The applicant has opted to add APN 163-01-102-037 to RDA2 and
include it in the Site Development Plan Review and tentative map at this time.
According to the Citys Department of Economic and Urban Development, this can be
accomplished through an independent administrative process that may be authorized by
the Redevelopment Agency in January 2017. After the process is approved, staff will
be empowered to administratively determine whether the request to bring this parcel
into RDA2 is appropriate. If the parcel is added to RDA2, staff supports the request to
amend the General Plan to change the land use designation from SC (Service
Commercial) to MXU (Mixed Use), as these four parcels are part of the same
development and under the same ownership.
The public drainage easement on this same parcel (APN 163-01-102-037) is no longer
needed, as the parcel is expected to be combined with the adjacent three parcels to
form a commercial subdivision. Staff therefore recommends approval of the petition to
vacate the entire easement, rather than just the portion abutting the proposed retail
development. It is noted that no landscaping over three feet in height is allowed within a
public drainage easement. If the required drainage study determines that a new
easement is needed on all or a portion of this site, it will be required to be granted on
the future Final Map.
The proposed uses on this site are permitted in the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning
district. The Gaming Establishment, General Business Related use is permitted with
the approval of a Special Use Permit. A liquefied petroleum (LP) gas installation of 288
gallons or less is a conditional use in the C-1 District.
The Gaming Establishment, General Business Related use is defined by Title 19.18 as
A building or structure which is primarily used for some business other than gaming but
in which restricted gaming is permitted pursuant to Title 6. For purposes of the Special
Use Permit requirements of this Title, the term does not include a location that has
obtained and maintains current licensing and zoning approvals to sell alcoholic
beverages.

Staff Report Page Three
January 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting

The proposed use meets the definition, as the primary use of the proposed 1,400
square-foot building is as a General Retail Store, but will also house a number of slot
gaming machines. No alcoholic beverages can be sold at this location, as the use lies
within the nonwaivable separation distance from a protected use (Church/House of
Worship). Title 19.12 does not contain any Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements
pertaining to the Gaming Establishment, General Business-Related use.
The floor plan indicates that a total of six slot machines would be located just inside the
proposed entrance to the convenience store. The space is suitable for gaming
machines and the use is appropriate within a convenience store; however, Title 6.40
limits the number of gaming machines in this circumstance to four. The business
license for restricted gaming will specify this and any other limits to the operation.
The convenience store is proposed to be located on the interior of the lot. Title
19.08.040(B)(6) requires buildings on corner lots to be oriented to the corner and street
fronts. A waiver is requested to allow the building to be set back from the corner, which
would allow for two fuel canopies to be extended north and south of the building. Staff
recommends approval of the waiver, which would allow for vehicles to circulate around
the canopy, while the design allows for the canopy to be pushed as far to the street
frontages as it can while still allowing for perimeter access and parking in the rear.
A new eight-foot landscape buffer is proposed along the east property line. Trees within
the buffer are to be spaced no more than 20 feet apart. Six Chinese Pistache and
Chaste trees are proposed where eight trees are required. A condition of approval will
require two additional trees to be shown within this buffer on the technical landscape
plan. Likewise, one additional tree is required within the buffer along the north property
line outside of site visibility restriction zones in order to conform to UDC requirements.
Perimeter buffer widths are all in conformance with UDC requirements. One parking lot
landscape island and tree have been omitted to allow the convenience store portion of
the site to be self-parked. As the parking area is small (consisting of eight spaces) and
landscaping requirements in the east perimeter buffer will be met through conditions of
approval, staff supports the needed Exception.
The proposed tentative map is appropriate, as it will create a single legal lot with shared
access and parking throughout the subdivision. The convenience store site is intended
to be self-parked, providing eight parking spaces to correspond with the proposed 1,400
square-foot general retail building. The site will maintain conformance with Title 19, and
no variances are required as a result of parcel consolidation. Staff notes that northsouth and east-west cross sections are shown with this Tentative Map submittal.
However, since this property and all surrounding properties are graded or developed, no
retaining walls are shown or anticipated. An existing eight-foot CMU wall separates this
site from the adjacent multi-family residential development.

FINDINGS (GPA-67898)
Section 19.16.030(I) of the Las Vegas Zoning Code requires that the following
conditions be met in order to justify a General Plan Amendment:
1.

The density and intensity of the proposed General Plan Amendment is


compatible with the existing adjacent land use designations,
The land use designation of the adjacent parcels to the west is MXU (Mixed Use),
which is appropriate if the subject parcel is added to Redevelopment Area 2,
which allows a wide flexibility in land use.

2.

The zoning designations allowed by the proposed amendment will be


compatible with the existing adjacent land uses or zoning districts,
The proposed MXU (Mixed Use) land use designation allows a range of office and
commercial designations, as well as a range of low to high density residential
uses. The adjacent zoning designations are primarily C-1 (Limited Commercial),
with R-3 (Medium Density Residential) to the east. The location of this parcel
near the corner of two arterial streets lends itself to commercial uses; therefore,
the proposed amendment would be compatible with the adjacent uses and zoning
districts.

3.

There are adequate transportation, recreation, utility, and other facilities to


accommodate the uses and densities permitted by the proposed General
Plan Amendment; and
This area of the city is fully developed; therefore, adequate facilities are readily
available to accommodate any proposed use allowed by the proposed MXU
(Mixed Use) designation.

4.

The proposed amendment conforms to other applicable adopted plans and


policies that include approved neighborhood plans.
There are no additional adopted plans providing development standards that
pertain to this site.

FINDINGS (SUP-67953)
In order to approve a Special Use Permit application, per Title 19.16.110(L) the Planning
Commission and City Council must affirm the following:

1.

The proposed land use can be conducted in a manner that is harmonious


and compatible with existing surrounding land uses, and with future
surrounding land uses as projected by the General Plan.
The proposed Gaming Establishment, General Business Related use would allow
for up to four slot machines within a general retail business that does not sell
alcohol. The use is appropriate for commercially zoned property on a corner
containing two major arterial streets.

2.

The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use
proposed.
The use will be restricted to an enclosed area as part of the primary General
Retail Store use on the site. No additional parking is generated by this use.

3.

Street or highway facilities providing access to the property are or will be


adequate in size to meet the requirements of the proposed use.
Jones Boulevard and Charleston Boulevard provide access to the property. Both
are classified as 100-foot Primary Arterials, which are adequate to accommodate
the proposed development, including the Gaming Establishment, General
Business Related use.

4.

Approval of the Special Use Permit at the site in question will not be
inconsistent with or compromise the public health, safety, and welfare or
the overall objectives of the General Plan.
The proposed Gaming Establishment, General Business Related use will be
subject to periodic business licensing review and inspections, thereby
safeguarding the public health, safety and welfare.

5.

The use meets all of the applicable conditions per Title 19.12.
The Gaming Establishment, General Business Related use does not have any
minimum Special Use Permit requirements per Title 19.12.

FINDINGS (SDR-67899)
In order to approve a Site Development Plan Review application, per Title 19.16.100(E)
the Planning Commission and/or City Council must affirm the following:
1.

The proposed development is compatible with adjacent development and

A general retail (convenience store) development is appropriate for a corner lot


along two major arterial streets. The site is adequately screened from adjacent
multi-family residential development to the east and screening will be enhanced
by a proposed landscape buffer along the east property line. No alcohol can be
sold from this location, in conformance to Title 19 distance separation
requirements from an existing Church/House of Worship to the south.
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 general retail development requires a waiver of building placement
and an exception of parking lot landscape requirements, both of which do not
affect the developments compatibility with adjacent development. Additional
trees need to be added along the north and east perimeter, which is addressed by
a condition of approval. Approval of a General Plan Amendment is contingent
upon APN 163-01-102-037 being added to Redevelopment Area 2, which staff
supports.

3.

Site access and circulation do not negatively impact adjacent roadways or


neighborhood traffic;
Access to the site will remain from existing driveways from Jones Boulevard and
Charleston Boulevard, both Primary Arterials as classified by the Master Plan of
Streets and Highways. Traffic is designed to circulate around the proposed fuel
canopy and existing building. According to the Traffic Engineering Section of the
Department of Public Works, this project will add approximately 2,604 trips per
day on Charleston Boulevard and Jones Boulevard. Currently, Charleston
Boulevard is at about 70 percent of capacity and Jones Boulevard is at about 74
percent of capacity. With this project, Charleston Boulevard is expected to be at
about 75 percent of capacity and Jones Boulevard to be at about 80 percent of
capacity. Based on peak hour use, this development will add into the area
roughly 216 additional cars, or about seven every two minutes. Neighborhood
traffic will therefore not be significantly impacted by the proposed development.

4.

Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the
City;
Building materials include brick veneer exteriors with colored aluminum composite
panels for accents. Landscape materials include Chinese Pistache and Chaste
trees, with various drought-tolerant shrubs. These materials are appropriate for
this area of the city.

5.

Building elevations, design characteristics and other architectural and


aesthetic features are not unsightly, undesirable, or obnoxious in
appearance; create an orderly and aesthetically pleasing environment; and
are harmonious and compatible with development in the area;
The proposed elevations are similar to those used for the applicants convenience
stores and fuel stations within the Las Vegas Valley. Variation in color, texture
and wall plane will provide visual interest.

6.

Appropriate measures are taken to secure and protect the public health,
safety and general welfare.
Site development is subject to building permit review and inspections, thereby
protecting the public health, safety and welfare.

FINDINGS (VAC-68131)
The existing public drainage easement is no longer necessary, as the parcel on which it
is currently attached will be integrated into one commercial lot. Staff therefore
recommends approval. If the required drainage study determines that a new easement
is needed on all or a portion of this site, it will be required to be granted on the future
Final Map.

FINDINGS (TMP-67900)
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.

Pre-Application Meeting
A pre-application meeting was held with the applicant to discuss
submittal requirements for a Site Development Plan Review for a
1,200 square-foot convenience store with LP gas installation and
07/27/16
Special Use Permit for a beer/wine/cooler off-sale establishment.
However, it was determined that the existence of a church within 400
feet of the site precluded a Special Use Permit (nonwaivable) from
being requested.
A pre-application meeting was held with the applicant to discuss
submittal requirements for a Site Development Plan Review and
Tentative Map. One of the subject parcels is not located within the
Redevelopment Area 2; the General Plan land use designation of this
10/13/16
parcel differs from the others. Remapping of the site into a single lot
will require a General Plan Amendment to ensure the land use
designation is uniform across all parcels. In addition, the citys
Redevelopment Agency would need to approve inclusion or exclusion
of parcels to or from Redevelopment Area 2.
A follow-up meeting was held to review the proposed Tentative Map
10/26/16
and discuss requirements for the General Plan Amendment on APN
163-01-102-037.

** STAFF REPORT **

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a General Plan Amendment, Rezoning, and a Site Development
Plan Review for a proposed 39,898 square-foot Library located on a portion of 8.34
acres on the southeast corner of Bonanza Road and 28th Street.

ISSUES

A General Plan Amendment is required to amend the Southeast Sector Plan from M
(Medium Density Residential) to PF (Public Facilities). Staff recommends approval of
this request.
A Rezoning application is required to change the zoning designation of the subject
site(s) from R-3 (Medium Density Residential) to C-V (Civic). Staff recommends
approval of this request.
A Site Development Plan Review is required to ensure compatibility of the
development with existing and planned development in the surrounding area. Staff
recommends approval of this application.

ANALYSIS
The subject site was a public housing project that has since been demolished, and
currently has a General Plan Designation of M (Medium Density Residential) and is
zoned R-3 (Medium Density Residential). The applicant has proposed to amend the
Southeast Sector of the General Plan from M (Medium Density Residential) to PF
(Public Facilities) with a zoning designation of C-V (Civic) in order to redevelop the site
into a public library. Staff supports this request as the proposed M (Medium Density
Residential) General Plan Designation and the C-V (Civic) zoning district are compatible
with the existing surrounding Multi-Family Residential and commercial land uses.
As described by Title 19.10, The purpose of the C-V District is to provide for the
continuation of existing public and quasi-public uses and for the development of new
schools, libraries, public parks, public flood control facilities, police, fire, electrical
transmission facilities, Water District and other public utility facilities. Proposed for the
subject site is a 39,898 square-foot public library that includes an outdoor plaza with
seating.

Staff Report Page Two
January 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting

The minimum development standards for property in the C-V (Civic) District shall be
established by the City Council in connection with the approval of a rezoning application
and shall be designed to ensure compatibility of the development with existing and
planned development in the surrounding area. These standards include:
1. 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 applicant has proposed the library building to be aligned along Bonanza
Road with a minimum setback of 24 feet. With the subject site essentially having
four street frontages, the applicant has proposed Bonanza Road as the primary
roadway for the building lines. Staff supports this request.
2. Pedestrian open spaces and plazas shall be integral to the overall design of the
proposed development and shall be located in areas of high pedestrian traffic in
such a manner to be convenient and readily accessible. Pedestrian open spaces
and plaza shall include without limitation benches, pergolas, landscape arbors,
artwork and landscape to sufficiently shade or soften the space.
The applicant has proposed a building that resembles the shape of the letter L,
allowing for the building to surround a plaza area adjacent to the main entrance.
The design of the plaza area includes pedestrian pathways that lead from the
bus stop adjacent to Bonanza Road, and 28 th Street. In addition, pedestrian
pathways also lead from the parking lot south of the library structure. The plaza
area includes outdoor seating with several benches and tables, and mature
shade trees.
3. Parking lots shall be located to the side or rear of buildings and away from the
street front and shall not be permitted on street corners unless the applicant can
demonstrate by substantial and convincing evidence that to do so would be
infeasible.
The subject site is fronted on four sides by roadways: Bonanza Road, 28th Street,
Walnut Avenue, and Wardelle Street making it impossible for the applicant to

Staff Report Page Three
January 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting

avoid having the parking lot on a street front. The primary parking lot is south of
the structure, with a small parking lot located on the east side of the library
structure.
In addition to the typical areas such as a computer lab and childrens and adult book
stacks that are often found in a library setting, the proposed floor plan depicts a multipurpose room, family activity space, and a multi-generational living room centrally
located amongst the adult, teen, and childrens book stacks. The proposed floor plan
provides appropriate and usable space for every generation.
The proposed elevations depict a white, modern building accented with grey cement
masonry units (CMUs), light grey metal doors, and dark grey columns and beams. For
added depth and dimension, brightly colored (purple, orange and blue) fabric canopy
covers have been provided for outdoor gathering areas and seating. The maximum
height of the proposed structure is 37 feet.
The applicant has proposed to preserve as many of the existing trees currently on-site
as possible by incorporating them into the courtyard and open space plan. The
proposed landscape plan demonstrates 35 trees for the perimeter landscape buffers, 28
trees in the parking lot areas, 25 trees in the courtyard and open areas, and the existing
18 trees in the southern portion of the subject site that is not being developed as part of
this project. In total, 106 trees are proposed for the subject site; of those, 21 of the trees
demonstrated on the landscape plan for the proposed library are those that exist on the
site today. Preserving these existing trees provide the proposed site established, large
shade trees that will directly benefit patrons as well as employees of the proposed
library.
In a report prepared by Public Works Traffic Division, it was estimated that the proposed
project will add approximately 2,244 trips per day on Bonanza Road and 28th Street.
Bonanza is currently at about 57 percent of capacity with 28th Street being at
approximately 12 percent of capacity. With the addition of the proposed project,
Bonanza Road is expected to be at about 61 percent of capacity, with 28th Street to be
at approximately 27 percent of capacity. Based on Peak Hour use, the proposed
development would add into the area roughly 291 additional vehicles every hour, or
about five vehicles every minute.

FINDINGS (GPA-67913)
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:

Staff Report Page Four
January 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting

1.

The density and intensity of the proposed General Plan Amendment is


compatible with the existing adjacent land use designations,
The proposed PF (Public Facilities) General Plan designation allows land uses
considered public or semi-public, and include such uses as the proposed library
which is compatible with the existing M (Medium Density Residential) and PF
(Public Facilities) General Plan designations that currently surround the subject
site.

2.

The zoning designations allowed by the proposed amendment will be


compatible with the existing adjacent land uses or zoning districts,
The proposed C-V (Civic) zoning district allows for the development of new
schools, libraries, public parks, police, and fire facilities. All of which are
compatible with the existing residential and commercial land uses in the area.

3.

There are adequate transportation, recreation, utility, and other facilities to


accommodate the uses and densities permitted by the proposed General
Plan Amendment; and
The surrounding area is currently developed, with the subject site once existing as
a multi-family residential development. Utilities in the area are adequate for the
proposed land use, in addition to adequate transportation including a new bus
stop turn-out along the northern perimeter of the subject site.

4.

The proposed amendment conforms to other applicable adopted plans and


policies that include approved neighborhood plans.
There are no Special Area plans that apply to the subject site. The subject site
is located within the Southeast Sector of the Las Vegas 2020 Master Plan,
Revitalization Area. Part of the goals for the Revitalization Area is to provide
walkable, transit friendly developments. This project supports this goal by
revitalizing a vacant lot into a community resource for area residents that is
easily accessed by public transit and provides valuable outdoor open space
with seating.

FINDINGS (ZON-67914)
In order to approve a Rezoning application, pursuant to Title 19.16.090(L), the Planning
Commission or City Council must affirm the following:
1.

The proposal conforms to the General Plan.

NE

Staff Report Page Five
January 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting

If the proposed companion General Plan Amendment to PF (Public Facilities) is


approved, the proposed reclassification of property to a C-V (Civic) zoning district
would conform to the General Plan.
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 C-V District is to provide for the continuation of existing public
and quasi-public uses and for the development of new schools, libraries, public
parks, public flood control facilities, police, fire, electrical transmission facilities,
Water District and other public utility facilities. These uses are compatible with the
existing surrounding Multi-Family Residential.

3.

Growth and development factors in the community indicate the need for or
appropriateness of the rezoning.
The existing surrounding community is in need for a community resource such as
the proposed library.

4.

Street or highway facilities providing access to the property are or will be


adequate in size to meet the requirements of the proposed zoning district.
Vehicular access to the site is provided by 28th Street and Wardelle Street, both
are 60-foot Local Streets as defined by Title 13 and capable of providing adequate
access to the subject site.

FINDINGS (SDR-67915)
In order to approve a Site Development Plan Review application, per Title 19.16.100(E)
the Planning Commission and/or City Council must affirm the following:
1.

The proposed development is compatible with adjacent development and


development in the area;
The proposed library, if approved, will be located adjacent to existing Multi-Family
Residential developments and will provide a much needed resource for the
community.

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;

NE

GPA-67913, ZON-67914 and SDR-67915 [PRJ-67836]


Staff Report Page Six
January 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting

With approval of the companion applications for a General Plan Amendment and
Rezoning, the proposed 39,898 library would be consistent with the General Plan
and Title 19. The proposal substantially conforms to the Title 19 requirements for
the proposed C-V (Civic) zoning district.
3.

Site access and circulation do not negatively impact adjacent roadways or


neighborhood traffic;
The proposed site circulation patterns and site access from both 28th Street and
Wardelle Street do not negatively impact existing neighborhood traffic as 28th
Street is estimated by the Department of Public Works Traffic Division to be at
approximately 27 percent of capacity once the proposed project was completed.

4.

Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the
City;
The proposed building materials include cement plaster/stucco with a synthetic
topcoat over CMU (Concrete Masonry Unit) with an exposed honed finished CMU
(Concrete Masonry Unit) base for the exterior walls, and double insulated Low-E
glazing to be provided in a thermally broken aluminum glazing system. These are
appropriate materials for the City and the existing area.
Existing on the site today is a collection of mature pine trees the applicant has
incorporated into the proposed design landscape design for the site. The existing
pine trees will be part of a desert friendly plant palette appropriate for the area and
City.

5.

Building elevations, design characteristics and other architectural and


aesthetic features are not unsightly, undesirable, or obnoxious in
appearance; create an orderly and aesthetically pleasing environment; and
are harmonious and compatible with development in the area;
The design characteristics of the library are not unsightly or obnoxious in
appearance and create an aesthetically pleasing environment by providing area
residents a community resource that includes a plaza area with outdoor seating.

6.

Appropriate measures are taken to secure and protect the public health,
safety and general welfare.
Development of the site as proposed will require permit review and site
inspections to ensure the health, safety and general welfare of the public.

Staff finds the proposed PF (Public Facilities) General Plan designation and associated
Rezoning application from R-3 (Medium Density Residential) to C-V (Civic) to be
compatible with the existing surrounding zoning districts, and the proposed library land use
to be also be compatible with existing surrounding land uses; therefore, staff is

Staff Report Page One
January 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The request is for a 1,991 square-foot expansion to an existing Church/House of Worship
located at 1189 Hassell Avenue. The proposed expansion will be located across the
street at 1176 Hassell Avenue and will house the churchs child care, pre-school, and
youth educational programs.

ISSUES

The existing nonconforming church was in operation prior to 1974, which predates the
current Special Use Permit requirement for a Church/House of Worship within the R-2
(Medium-Low Density Residential) zoning district.
A Special Use Permit is required to allow the expansion of the existing church at 1189
Hassell Avenue. The proposed 1,991 square-foot expansion will be located across the
street within a new building at 1176 Hassell Avenue.
The proposed Special Use Permit will alleviate the nonconforming status of the existing
Church/House of Worship, and will allow for the proposed 1,991 square-foot
expansion. Staff recommends approval of the requested Special Use Permit.
The applicant has stated within their justification letter that the intent is to use the
proposed expansion building for child care, pre-school, and youth educational
programs. It has been determined that these uses are permissible as ancillary to the
Church/House of Worship use.
The previous owner of the expansion parcel had installed a concrete slab to
accommodate a single family home within the required setback area. The planned
home was not built.
On the expansion site, a Variance has been requested to allow a four-foot side yard
setback where five feet is the minimum required along the west property line. Staff
recommends approval of the request.
On the expansion site, landscape waivers have been requested along the east and
west property lines to allow a one-foot perimeter landscape buffer where five feet is the
minimum required, and to allow a total of six perimeter trees where 14 are required.
Staff recommends approval of the request.

ANALYSIS
City records indicate that the existing Church/House of Worship at 1189 Hassell Avenue
has been in operation since prior to 1974, and it is considered a legally non-conforming

FS

VAR-67801, SUP-67800 and SDR-67802 [PRJ-67656]


Staff Report Page Two

use within the R-2 (Medium-Low Density Residential) zoning district. With approval of the
related Special Use Permit, the nonconformance will be alleviated as the site will be
associated with an approved Special Use Permit as required by Title 19.12. The existing
3,592 square-foot church receives access via drives from both Hassell and Hart Avenues,
and there are 46 on-site parking spaces where 32 are required. The applicant is
proposing no changes to the existing site. The existing church facility is considered the
primary use, and the proposed building expansion and associated uses are considered
ancillary to the primary use.
The proposed 1,991 square-foot church expansion will be located across the street from
the primary use at 1176 Hassell Street. The area of the subject site is 5,400 square-feet
where 6,500 square feet is the minimum allowed in the R-2 (Medium-Low Density
Residential) zoning district. This minimum lot size standard did not exist when the lot was
mapped in 1929, and the lot is considered legally nonconforming.
The expansion site is currently developed with a building slab for a residential house that
was never constructed. City records indicate that a civil improvement plan (#11084) for a
single family residence was approved in 2007, but no building permits were issued. The
applicant subsequently obtained ownership of the subject site in 2010.
The applicant intends to build a 1,991 square-foot building on the existing slab in order to
spare the expense of redeveloping the site in its entirety. The existing slab is four feet
from the west property line where five feet is required and a Variance has been requested
to provide relief from this requirement. Staff recommends approval of the Variance due to
the narrow lot width and existing location of the previously installed building slab (see
Variance Findings). The site will not have vehicular access from the public street, and
there are no additional parking requirements for the ancillary uses proposed with the
expansion.
The landscape plan depicts a 15-foot landscape buffer area along the front property line,
and an eight-foot buffer area along the rear property line as required by Title 19.08.
Typically, commercial development requires a minimum of eight feet of perimeter
landscape buffering on interior lot lines when adjacent to residential, but in cases where
the building setback is more restrictive, buffering is only required to the setback line. The
side-yard building setback in the R-2 (Medium-Low Density Residential) zoning district is
five feet, which is the required buffer width along the east and west property lines. The
landscape plan indicates a buffer area of one-foot along portions of the east and west
property lines where five feet is required, and a waiver for a reduction of perimeter
landscaping along portions of the east and west (side) property lines has been requested.
The narrow 40-foot lot width does not allow for both landscaping and access to the side
and rear portions of the structure where the buildings entry and exit points are located. A
concrete walk is proposed along portions of the side property lines, which eliminate the
possibility of landscaping in these areas. Staff recommends approval of the request given

the existing site constraints and need to provide reasonable access to the buildings
expected entry and exit points.
The 20-foot front perimeter landscape buffer area is planted with two 24-inch box Mondale
Pines along with five gallon Oleanders and crushed stone groundcover as required by Title
19.08. Along the rear property line, zero trees are depicted, and a condition of approval
has been included to ensure that two additional 24-inch box trees are installed along this
property line as required by Title 19.08. Due to the aforementioned side-yard constraints,
three 24-inch box perimeter trees will be installed towards the rear portion of the lot where
seven trees are required. The deficiency of required trees has been included with the
perimeter landscape waiver request.
The building elevations depict a 16-foot tall building with an exterior constructed of stucco
with a pitched concrete tile roof. The design of the structure is generally consistent with
that of a single family residence, which allows the commercial use to blend in with the
surrounding neighborhood.
The subject site is located within the West Las Vegas Special Area Plan and Las Vegas
Redevelopment Plan Area. The proposed development constitutes an infill project that will
rehabilitate a blighted parcel abandoned by the previous owner in a partially built-out state.
The building elevations depict a structure that will blend in with the existing neighborhood,
and the proposed uses will bring additional child and educational services to the West Las
Vegas area. While the applicant has requested a perimeter landscape waiver and a
companion setback Variance, staff believes that these requests are acceptable given the
site constraints associated with this narrow, partially built-out lot. Staff recommends
approval of the Site Development Plan Review and the requested perimeter landscaping
waivers.
The establishment or expansion of the Church/House of Worship use is permitted in the R2 (Medium-Low Density Residential) zoning district with the approval of a Special Use
Permit. The Church/House of Worship use is defined as Any building used for religious
worship services, religious education and fellowship activities and programs of a religious
organization. This use includes the use of the building and premises for other related
activities, such as child care facilities, formal educational programs, preschool classes and
recreational activities, but only when those activities are ancillary to the religious use and
only after those uses have been approved by means of a use review or other procedure
under LVMC Chapter 19.16. This use does not include any class of child care center,
general education classroom or facility, thrift shop, homeless shelter or commercial
activity.
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include:

FS

Staff Report Page Four
January 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting

1. The Special Use Permit approval may include such activities as religious services,
religious instruction, church club activities and similar activities.
The existing Church/House of Worship currently conducts regular religious
services, and the approval of the requested Special Use Permit will allow use to
be conforming with the R-2 (Medium-Low Density Residential) zoning district.
2. The Special Use Permit approval may also include accessory functions, such as
child care facilities, formal educational programs, preschool classes and similar
related activities, if:
a. The uses are specifically proposed in the application; and
b. The Director finds that each such use is ancillary to the primary use.
The request is for the approval of an existing Church/House of Worship with
ancillary child care, youth educational programs, preschool courses and related
activities. The proposed ancillary uses will be conducted within a proposed
building across the street from the primary worship center. Within the submitted
justification letter, the applicant had specifically requested that these uses be
permitted as accessory functions. The Director has determined that these
activities are permissible as ancillary uses to the primary use.
3. Following approval of a Special Use Permit, if any additional uses not specifically
covered by that Special Use Permit are proposed, an additional public hearing
process shall be required to add the uses
If any uses other than child care, youth educational programs and preschool
courses are proposed at a later date, the applicant will need to submit for a new
Special Use Permit application to add the new uses.
4. In residential districts, related uses such as thrift shops, homeless shelters and
other similar activities may not be conducted and are not eligible for approval as
part of a Special Use Permit. Such uses may be conducted only in the zoning
districts in which such uses are permitted as primary uses, and must receive
specific approval to operate.
The site is zoned R-2 (Medium-Low Density Residential) and uses such as thrift
shops, homeless shelters and other similar activities have not been requested nor
will they be allowed within the current zoning classification.

5. Churches on sites larger than 5 acres shall not be permitted in the U District or a
district with an R prefix.
The overall site area for the existing church and the proposed expansion is 0.89
acres.
The request is for a Special Use Permit for a 1,991 square-foot expansion to an existing
non-conforming Church/House of Worship. The existing church, located at 1189 Hassell
Avenue, has been in operation since prior to 1974, which pre-dates the requirement of a
Special Use Permit for a Church/House of Worship use within the R-2 (Medium-Low
Density Residential) zoning district. In conjunction with the existing church, the applicant is
proposing a 1,991 square-foot expansion across the street at 1176 Hassell Avenue in
order to accommodate the facilitys child care, youth educational and preschool programs.
The proposed ancillary uses were specifically requested within the justification letter
submitted with the application. Approval of this Special Use Permit will result in the
existing church becoming legally conforming to the existing zoning district, while also
allowing the proposed expansion across the street to allow for the ancillary uses. The
existing church has no recent records of any significant code enforcement actions or
complaints, and has been in operation for at least 40 years. The proposed expansion is
designed to look like a residence, will provide additional child and educational services
for the area, and is a desirable infill project within the West Las Vegas and Las Vegas
Redevelopment Plan Areas. Staff recommends approval of the request.

FINDINGS (VAR-67801)
In accordance with the provisions of Title 19.16.140(B), Planning Commission and City
Council, in considering the merits of a Variance request, shall not grant a Variance in
order to:
1.
2.
3.

Permit a use in a zoning district in which the use is not allowed;


Vary any minimum spacing requirement between uses;
Relieve a hardship which is solely personal, self-created or financial in nature.

Additionally, Title 19.16.140(L) states:


Where by reason of exceptional narrowness, shallowness, or shape of a specific
piece of property at the time of enactment of the regulation, or by reason of
exceptional topographic conditions or other extraordinary and exceptional
situation or condition of the piece of property, the strict application of any zoning
regulation would result in peculiar and exceptional practical difficulties to, or
exceptional and undue hardships upon, the owner of the property, a variance
from that strict application may be granted so as to relieve the difficulties or

Staff Report Page Six
January 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting

hardship, if the relief may be granted without substantial detriment to the public
good, without substantial impairment of affected natural resources and without
substantially impairing the intent and purpose of any ordinance or resolution.
The sites existing physical characteristics imposes several practical difficulties on the
Applicant. The lot is only 40 feet wide, which provides limited width in which to
adequately develop the site. To compound this deficiency, the area of the subject lot is
only 5,400 square feet where 6,500 square feet is typically the minimum in the R-2
(Medium-Low Density Residential) zoning district. This minimum lot size standard did not
exist when the lot was mapped in 1929, and the lot is considered legally nonconforming.
Further exacerbating the existing site constraints, the previous property owner installed a
building slab for a residential home, but the house was never built. The existing slab is
four feet from the west property line where five feet is the minimum required within the
R-2 (Medium-Low Density Residential) zoning district. The applicant has requested a
Variance to build on the existing slab rather than remove it and incur additional
hardships redeveloping a substandard lot. In addition to the physical constraints
imposed by the lot size and existing slab, the applicant also owns the property adjacent
to where the setback encroachment occurs. The variance and resulting setback
reduction will only impact property already owned by the church. Given the existing
conditions on the subject lot, and the fact that the applicant owns the property adjacent
to where the one-foot setback encroachment occurs, staff recommends approval of the
request.

FINDINGS (SUP-67800)
In order to approve a Special Use Permit application, per Title 19.16.110(L) the Planning
Commission and City Council must affirm the following:
1.

The proposed land use can be conducted in a manner that is harmonious


and compatible with existing surrounding land uses, and with future
surrounding land uses as projected by the General Plan.
The existing church has been operating since prior to 1974 and there are no
recent records of any significant code enforcement actions or complaints. The
proposed expansion is designed to look like a residence and will be virtually
indistinguishable from houses in the surrounding area. Given the amount of time
the existing church has been operating, and the residential design of the proposed
expansion, the proposed use can be conducted in a manner that is harmonious
and compatible with the surrounding land uses.

2.

The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use
proposed.

FS

Staff Report Page Seven
January 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting

The site at 1189 Hassell is physically suitable for the existing church, and the site
at 1179 Hassell will be suitable for the proposed church expansion with the
approval of the companion setback Variance. Both sites are adequately suited for
the existing and proposed land uses.
3.

Street or highway facilities providing access to the property are or will be


adequate in size to meet the requirements of the proposed use.
The existing church receives access from two 60-foot minor collector streets
(Hassell and Hart Avenue), which are adequate in size to meet the requirements
of this modestly sized church. The proposed expansion site requires no additional
parking or driveways and will not have vehicular access from the public street.

4.

Approval of the Special Use Permit at the site in question will not be
inconsistent with or compromise the public health, safety, and welfare or
the overall objectives of the General Plan.
The approval of the proposed Special Use Permit will not compromise the public
health, safety, welfare or the overall objectives of the General Plan.

5.

The use meets all of the applicable conditions per Title 19.12.
The existing Church/House of Worship and the proposed expansion meets all of
the applicable conditions per Title 19.12.

FINDINGS (SDR-67802)
In order to approve a Site Development Plan Review application, per Title 19.16.100(E)
the Planning Commission and/or City Council must affirm the following:
1.

The proposed development is compatible with adjacent development and


development in the area;
The proposed expansion is designed to look like a single-family residence and will
be virtually indistinguishable from residential homes in the surrounding area. The
proposed development will be compatible with adjacent development and
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;

FS

VAR-67801, SUP-67800 and SDR-67802 [PRJ-67656]


Staff Report Page Eight
January 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting

With approval of the requested waivers, the development will be consistent with
Title 19 and all other city plans, policies and standards.
3.

Site access and circulation do not negatively impact adjacent roadways or


neighborhood traffic;
The proposed church expansion does not receive vehicular access from the
public street, and will therefore not have an impact on adjacent roadways or
neighborhood traffic.

4.

Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the
City;
The proposed building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and
for the City.

5.

Building elevations, design characteristics and other architectural and


aesthetic features are not unsightly, undesirable, or obnoxious in
appearance; create an orderly and aesthetically pleasing environment; and
are harmonious and compatible with development in the area;
The proposed expansion will consist of a stucco exterior with a tiled roof. The
structure is similar in appearance with single-family homes in the area. The
elevations are not unsightly or obnoxious in appearance, and are harmonious and
compatible with development in the area.

6.

Appropriate measures are taken to secure and protect the public health,
safety and general welfare.
The site will be subject to regular inspections and therefore will not compromise
the publics health, safety and general welfare.

** STAFF REPORT **

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a Variance for two of four prospective lots located on 2.50 acres on
the southeast corner of Hickam Avenue and Juliano Road to have a maximum lot width
of 87 feet where 100 feet is required in the U (Undeveloped) [DR (Desert Rural
Residential) General Plan Designation] zoning district.

ISSUES

A Variance is required to allow two of the four lots to have a lot width of 87 feet
where 100 feet is required in the U (Undeveloped) [DR (Desert Rural Residential)
General Plan Designation] zoning district. Staff is recommending approval of
both Variance applications.

ANALYSIS
The subject site is an undeveloped 2.50 acre lot located on the southeast corner of
Hickam Avenue and Juliano Road. The two lots in question are flag lots, with access
off of Hickam Avenue. The lots have two width dimensions, with 20 feet provided along
the driveway access and 155 feet for the buildable portion of the lot. The overall mean
lot width is 87 feet, where 100 feet is required. The lots meet the minimum lot size of
20,000 square feet for the U (Undeveloped) zoning district. The irregular flag lot
configuration is needed due to the natural drainage pattern for the overall site, from
southwest to northeast, with drainage for the two southern lots being accommodated
through the driveway access points to Hickam Avenue. The alternative would be to
significantly increase the elevation of one or more of the sites to drain back against the
natural flow path, which would require significant retaining walls to accomplish and
would negatively impact the adjacent surrounding residential sites.

FINDINGS (VAR-67928 & VAR-67929)


In accordance with the provisions of Title 19.16.140(B), Planning Commission and City
Council, in considering the merits of a Variance request, shall not grant a Variance in
order to:

Permit a use in a zoning district in which the use is not allowed;


Vary any minimum spacing requirement between uses;
Relieve a hardship which is solely personal, self-created or financial in nature.

Additionally, Title 19.16.140(L) states:


Where by reason of exceptional narrowness, shallowness, or shape of a specific
piece of property at the time of enactment of the regulation, or by reason of
exceptional topographic conditions or other extraordinary and exceptional
situation or condition of the piece of property, the strict application of any zoning
regulation would result in peculiar and exceptional practical difficulties to, or
exceptional and undue hardships upon, the owner of the property, a variance
from that strict application may be granted so as to relieve the difficulties or
hardship, if the relief may be granted without substantial detriment to the public
good, without substantial impairment of affected natural resources and without
substantially impairing the intent and purpose of any ordinance or resolution.
A unique and extraordinary circumstance has been presented, as drainage issues have
triggered the need for irregularly-shaped flag lots that reduced the width of the subject
sites to 87 feet, which is less than the required 100 feet set forth by Title 19.06. In view
of this hardship imposed by the sites physical characteristics, it is concluded that the
applicants hardship is not preferential in nature, and it is thereby within the realm of
NRS Chapter 278 for granting of Variances. Staff is recommending approval of both
Variance applications.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Related Relevant City Actions by P&D, Fire, Bldg., etc.

Staff Report Page One
January 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a Special Use Permit and Site Development Plan Review for a
proposed Tavern within a converted single-family dwelling and commercial building
located at 710 and 712 South 1st Street.

ISSUES

The Liquor Establishment (Tavern) use is permitted in the C-M


(Commercial/Industrial) zoning district with the approval of a Special Use Permit.
A Site Development Plan Review is required for the conversion of the existing
single-family dwelling located at 712 South 1st Street into a commercial
development.

ANALYSIS
The subject site is located in the Downtown Centennial Plan - Downtown South district,
within the C-M (Commercial/Industrial) zoning district, which allows the Liquor
Establishment (Tavern) use with an approved Special Use Permit. The applicant is
proposing to convert an existing single-family dwelling and commercial building into a
3,173 square-foot Liquor Establishment (Tavern) with a 3,936 square-foot outdoor
seating area located at 710 and 712 South 1st Street. The submitted floor plan indicates
that this Tavern will provide seating for 151 people. Revised plans were received on
12/20/16, which reduced the size of the proposed Liquor Establishment (Tavern) to
3,128 square-feet in size.
A Liquor Establishment (Tavern) use is described in Title 19.12 as: A facility which sells

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.
The proposed Liquor Establishment (Tavern) use meets this requirement, as there are
no existing taverns or protected land uses within 1500 feet of the subject property.
* 2. The distance separation referred to in Requirement 1 shall be measured with
reference to the shortest distance between two property lines, one being the property
line of the proposed liquor establishment (tavern) which is closest to the existing use to

use which is closest to the proposed liquor establishment (tavern). The distance shall be
measured in a straight line without regard to intervening obstacles.
Distances have been measured from Commercial Subdivision South Add Book 1,
Page 51, Lot 27 & 28, Block 1.
* 3. For the purpose of Requirement 2, and for that purpose only:
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
b. The property line of a liquor establishment (tavern) refers to:
i. The property line of a parcel that has been created by an approved and
recorded parcel map or commercial subdivision map; or
ii. The property line of a parcel that is located within an approved and recorded
commercial subdivision and that has been created by a record of survey or legal
description, if:
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;

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.

The proposed use will be required to continuously meet this requirement as a condition
of approval of a requested Special Use Permit, if approved.
According to the submitted justification letter and floor plan, the proposed use meets the
definition outlined above. The proposed Liquor Establishment (Tavern) also adheres to
all minimum special use permit requirements as outlined by Title 19.12. The subject site
is not located within 1,500 feet of any church/house of worship, school, individual care
center licensed for more than twelve children, City Park or existing tavern. In addition,
staff has added a condition of approval requiring the business conform to all provisions
of LVMC Chapter 6.50 with regards to running a Liquor Establishment (Tavern).
Staff notes that the subject site currently has no alleyway access to the rear of the
subject site. The alleyway has been vacated and is accessed via locked gates
controlled by Nevada Energy, which operates an Energy Substation located to the west
of the subject site. Since this existing site condition prevents access to the rear of the
site, it will affect the way trash service is conducted and how patrons of the
establishment will exit the site to meet Fire and Building Department code requirements.
The applicant has submitted documentation indicating that trash service will be
conducted through curb-side pickup. A condition has been added to Special Use Permit
(SUP-67886) which requires waste management to not conflict with pedestrian and
vehicular circulation on the adjacent 1st Street right-of-way. In addition, the applicant has
also indicated that they will continue to work closely with the Fire and Building
Department to create an exiting plan which meets all code requirements. As this request
meets all the minimum Special Use requirements and can be conducted in a compatible
and harmonious manner within the existing shopping center, staff recommends
approval of this application. If denied, the applicant will not be allowed to conduct the
Liquor Establishment (Tavern) use at this location.

FINDINGS (SUP-67886)
In order to approve a Special Use Permit application, per Title 19.16.110(L) the Planning
Commission and City Council must affirm the following:
1.

The proposed land use can be conducted in a manner that is harmonious


and compatible with existing surrounding land uses, and with future
surrounding land uses as projected by the General Plan.
The proposed Liquor Establishment (Tavern) use is located in the Downtown
Centennial Plan overlay and will serve as an establishment that is complimentary
to the other restaurants and taverns in the neighborhood and is the type of use
that is encouraged in the Downtown Overlay District. It can be conducted in a
manner that is harmonious and compatible with the surrounding land uses, and
with the future surrounding land uses.

** STAFF REPORT **

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a Site Development Plan Review and Special Use Permit for a
proposed Tavern-Limited Establishment use within an existing Hotel/Motel use located
at 2601 Westwood Drive.

ISSUES

The Tavern-Limited Establishment use is permitted in the M (Industrial) zoning


district with the approval of a Special Use Permit.
The applicant has proposed a 3,151 square-foot building addition and renovation to
the existing 37,800 square-foot building, which requires a Major Site Development
Plan Review.

ANALYSIS
A Tavern-Limited Establishment is described in Title 19.12 as: An establishment that is
licensed with a tavern-limited license in accordance with LVMC Chapter 6.50. There
are no Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use. This use is permitted in
the M (Industrial) zoning district with an approved Special Use Permit.
This project is located in the Las Vegas Downtown Centennial Plan Industrial Corridor
District. The subject site currently operates as an existing Hotel, Motel or Hotel Suites
land use and is located within the M (Industrial) zoning district. The applicant has
proposed to construct a 3,151 square-foot addition to the existing 37,800 square-foot
building, which represents an 8% increase in floor area. Since the expansion is
associated with a Special Use Permit for the proposed Tavern-Limited Establishment
use, a Major Site Development Plan Review is required. The new Tavern-Limited
Establishment is intended to operate in conjunction with the existing Hotel, Motel or
Hotel Suites use at the subject site.
The applicant has indicated that the proposed establishment will host a live DJ at least
two nights per week in conformance with Title 6.50.250 requirements for a TavernLimited license. The submitted floor plan indicates the 968 square-foot basement floor
will be utilized as a storage area, the 953 square-foot first floor will provide a dining
room and kitchen area and a 1,230 square-foot second floor area, which will provide a

rooftop deck including a 40 square-foot area designated for a DJ booth. The applicant
has indicated that they do not wish to operate as a Night Club. Also, there is a 4,063
square-foot outdoor pool deck/ outdoor patio area adjacent to the proposed building
addition which will be utilized with the proposed Tavern-Limited Establishment use.
The submitted building elevations indicate the proposed building will remain at 32.75
feet in height to the top of the parapet, and will be accented with a white and blue
stucco building faade and red tile roof. The submitted landscaping plan indicate a
combination of 24-box Washington Robusta trees and five-gallon red salvia shrubs will
be used within the existing landscape buffers on the western and eastern perimeter of
the subject site. The proposed use and design of this proposal will make a positive
contribution to the urban design for the residents in the immediate area and of the
community at large. Staff recommends approval of the requested Special Use Permit to
allow a Tavern-Limited Establishment use and the Site Development Plan Review for
the proposed addition to the existing structure.

FINDINGS (SUP-67897)
In order to approve a Special Use Permit application, per Title 19.16.110(L) the Planning

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

2.

Establishment use and is in close proximity to other similar land uses in the
area.

3.

is a 60-foot Local Street. This street is sufficient in size to accommodate the
needs of the proposed use.
4.

** STAFF REPORT **

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a Special Use Permit for a proposed 1,200 square-foot
Secondhand Dealer use at 7260 West Azure Drive, Suite #150.

ISSUES

A Special Use Permit is required for a Secondhand Dealer use in the T-C (Town
Center) zone with the GC-TC (General Commercial Town Center) Special Land
Use Designation. Staff recommends approval of the request.
While conducting a routine site visit, staff found the subject site to have illegal
signage located on the windows. A condition of approval has been added to
address this issue.

ANALYSIS
The Town Center Development Standards Manual does not provide a definition of the
Secondhand Dealer use. Title 19 defines the Secondhand Dealer use as, A retail
facility which deals solely in used commodities with no new commodities, or in which the
sale of secondhand or used articles is incidental to the sale of new articles of the same
kind. For purposes of this description, the sale of secondhand or used articles is
deemed to be incidental to the sale of new articles. Used articles may include furniture,
fixtures, appliances, tableware, offices supplies, pictures, paintings, jewelry, cutlery,
guns, precious or semiprecious gemstones, or scrap precious metals as defined in
LVMC Chapter 6.74, but does not include the sale of junk as defined in that Chapter, or
the sale of used cars. This use does not include a Thrift Shop. This use also does not
include the following, all of which are allowed where the retail sale of new merchandise
is permitted:
1. The buying, selling or trading of wearing apparel, infant/child items,
general household furnishings or specified liquid waste, as those terms
are defined in LVMC Chapter 6.74;
2. The buying and selling of foreign or domestic coins for numismatic
purposes;
3. The buying and selling of antiques, used books, newspapers or
periodicals; or
CS

SUP-67890 [PRJ-67361]
Staff Report Page Two
January 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting

4. The buying and selling of collectibles, including collectibles that consist


of phonograph records, other audio recordings and the equipment
necessary to listen to such recordings. Collectibles qualifying under
this Paragraph 4 include any kind of cabinet or similar furniture whose
sale would otherwise fall within the definition of secondhand dealer if
and only if that item is used in displaying one or more collectible items
and is designed or intended to be sold together with the collectible
items for purposes of display.
Per the submitted justification letter, the applicant meets the above definition, as they
intend to sell refurbished laptops, mobile phones, tablets and other mobile devices.
According to the Town Center Development Standards Manual, the following minimum
Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include:
a. Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph (c), the use may be operated for
consignment sales only and such consignment sales shall be limited to the
following merchandise: jewelry (including Class III), furniture, fixtures, tableware,
pictures, paintings, wearing apparel and firearms.
This requirement does not apply, as the applicant intends to sell refurbished
laptops and mobile devices.
b. Payment to the consignor for consigned merchandise may not be made until
after the merchandise has been sold.
The proposed use should adhere to this requirement, as it is a standard business
practice and it will be subject to regular licensing inspections.
c. The following (and only the following) secondhand merchandise may be sold on
a non-consignment basis to, or purchased from or exchanged with, customers of
the operation:
i. Personal computers;
ii. Laptop computers;
iii. Other similar computer devices;
iv. Wearing apparel; and
v. Firearms
This requirement is met, as the applicant intends to sell refurbished laptops and
other mobile devices.

d. No outdoor displays, sales or storage of any merchandise shall be permitted.


This requirement is met, as the submitted site plan and floor plan show all
operations will take place indoors.
e. The hours of operation shall be limited to the hours between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00
p.m., unless otherwise specified by the City Council.
This requirement is met, as the submitted justification letter states that the
proposed hours of operation are 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. daily.
f. The use shall comply with the applicable requirements of LVMC Title 6.
A condition of approval has been added in order to ensure this requirement is
met.
g. The conditions listed above are not waivable development standards under the
provisions of the Town Center Development Standards Manual.
This requirement is met as the applicant has not requested to waive any
conditions under the provisions of the Town Center Development Standards
Manual.
The subject tenant space is located within an existing 49,094 square-foot shopping
center with other similar retail uses. The proposed site has a current business license
(G64-06392) which allows for the repair and maintenance of computers, phones and
tablets. It also allows the sale of new cell phone accessories. Per the submitted
justification letter, the applicant would like to have the option to sell refurbished laptops
and other mobile devices. While conducting a routine site visit, staff found the subject
site to have illegal signage located on the windows. A condition of approval has been
added to address this issue.
The proposed Secondhand Dealer use can be conducted in a manner that is compatible
with the other existing uses within the shopping center. Therefore, staff recommends
approval of the Special Use Permit.

** STAFF REPORT **

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a Special Use Permit for a proposed Restaurant with Service Bar
use at 8615 West Sahara Avenue.

ISSUES

A Restaurant with Service Bar use is permitted in the C-1 (Limited Commercial)
zoning district as a Conditional Use.
The proposed Restaurant with Service Bar use does not meet the Conditional Use
regulations of Title 19.12 regarding the required 400-foot distance separation from
an Individual Care Center (licensed for more than 12 children). Therefore, a request
for a Special Use Permit is required. Staff supports the SUP as the proposed use is
located within an established shopping center designed to accommodate a variety
uses and it will not negatively impact the existing individual care center as there is
no direct access between the two uses.
There is no waiver request for this Special Use Permit, as the use does not have
minimum Special Use Permit requirements.

ANALYSIS
The applicant is requesting a Special Use Permit for a proposed Restaurant with
Service Bar use. The subject property is part of an established shopping center which
is currently zoned C-1 (Limited Commercial). The subject location contains a 2,537
square-foot restaurant with 800 square feet of outdoor seating area.
A
Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment use was approved by Special Use Permit
(SUP-61299) on 12/08/15, and a business license is currently active. The use will be
located within an existing 30,548 square-foot shopping center. No additional parking
spaces are required for the proposed use.
The Restaurant with Service Bar use is defined as A bar wherein alcoholic beverage
drinks are prepared for service only at tables in a restaurant and for consumption only in
connection with a meal served on the premise, and where customers are not permitted
to purchase alcoholic beverage drinks directly from the bar or for off-premise
consumption. The proposed use meets the definition, as it is currently serving beer
and wine with food consumption, the establishment is proposing to have a bar serving
alcohol.
RG

SUP-67912 [PRJ-67876]
Staff Report Page Two
January 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting

The proposed use is located zero feet from an Individual Care Center (licensed for more
than 12 children) located to the south of shopping center where a 400-foot minimum
distance separation is required. The proposed location of this use fails to comply with
the minimum distance separation requirements for a Conditional Use; therefore, a
Special Use Permit application is required. The subject property is an established
shopping center designed to accommodate a variety of uses and within an existing
restaurant with an active beer sale licenses. It has been determined that the proposed
Restaurant with Service Bar use can be conducted in a manner that is compatible with
the surrounding land uses; therefore, staff recommends approval as the use is
considered appropriate for the surrounding area. If this request is denied, the existing
Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale use can continue to operate as approved by SUP-61299.

FINDINGS (SUP-67912)
In order to approve a Special Use Permit application, per Title 19.16.110(L) the Planning
Commission and City Council must affirm the following:
1.

The proposed land use can be conducted in a manner that is harmonious


and compatible with existing surrounding land uses, and with future

the surrounding properties and adjoining streets.
The disable vehicles will be stored away from view from the surrounding
properties and adjoining streets

The proposed use meets this requirement, as the subject building is located
greater than 330 feet from single-family detached dwelling.
g. The installation and use of an outside public address or bell system is prohibited.
The proposed use meets this requirement as the applicant has indicated no
outside public address or bell system.

with existing surrounding land uses as there are similar uses on the site and all distance
separation requirements have been met. Staff recommends approval with conditions. If
this Special Use Permit application is denied, only an Auto Repair Garage, Minor is
permitted by right in accordance with the Town Center Development Standards Manual.

** STAFF REPORT **

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request to amend applications for a General Plan Amendment from ML
(Medium Low Density Residential) to O (Office), and a Rezoning from U (Undeveloped)
[ML (Medium Low) General Plan Land Use Designation] to O (Office). At this time, there
is no development project associated with the requested changes in land use and
zoning designations.

ANALYSIS
The subject site is a vacant, undeveloped 1.83 acre lot located on the northeast corner
of Gowan Road and Durango Drive. Directly adjacent to the subject site on both the
north and east perimeters are established, detached single family homes zoned R-CL
(Single Family Compact-Lot).
The applicant has amended the General Plan Amendment request from SC (Service
Commercial) to O (Office). With the subject site being located on a corner fronted by a
Major Collector (Gowan Road) and a Primary Arterial (Durango Drive), staff finds the
proposed O (Office) General Plan Designation to be appropriate as the Office category
provides for small lot offices as a buffer between residential and commercial uses. Staff
is recommending approval of this request.
The applicant has also amended the original Rezoning application request from C-1
(Limited Commercial) to O (Office). While the O (Office) zoning district does not permit
Clinics or Rental Stores like the previously proposed C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning
district did, O (Office) still permits land uses such as Business Schools, Private Country
Clubs, and banks. Staff finds these uses to also be incompatible for residential
adjacency and is recommending denial of the Rezoning request. A more appropriate
zoning district for the subject site would be P-O (Professional Office), which is intended
to allow for office uses in an area which is predominantly residential but because of
traffic and other factors, is no longer suitable for the continuation of low density
residential uses. The P-O (Professional Office) zoning district is designed to be a
transitional zone to allow low intensity administrative and professional offices that
typically have a low volume of direct daily client and/or customer contact.

Staff Report Page Two
January 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting

FINDINGS (GPA-66464)
Section 19.16.030(I) of the Las Vegas Zoning Code requires that the following
conditions be met in order to justify a General Plan Amendment:
1.

The density and intensity of the proposed General Plan Amendment is


compatible with the existing adjacent land use designations,
The proposed O (Office) General Plan Designation is compatible with the existing
single-family residential uses located adjacent to and near the subject site as it is
meant to serve as a buffer between residential and commercial land uses.

2.

The zoning designations allowed by the proposed amendment will be


compatible with the existing adjacent land uses or zoning districts,
Amending the General Plan for the subject site from ML (Medium Low Density
Residential) to O (Office) supports the proposed O (Office) zoning district, but staff
finds a more appropriate zoning district for residential adjacency would be P-O
(Professional Office) as this zoning district is meant to be a transitional zone
between residential and commercial land uses that would allow low intensity
administrative and professional offices.

3.

There are adequate transportation, recreation, utility, and other facilities to


accommodate the uses and densities permitted by the proposed General
Plan Amendment; and
The subject site is located in an established area of the city that is well-served by
existing transportation and utility infrastructure and emergency services. These
services can adequately accommodate the intensity of the proposed O (Office)
General Plan designation.

4.

The proposed amendment conforms to other applicable adopted plans and


policies that include approved neighborhood plans.
The subject site is an undeveloped lot directly adjacent to single family residential
and a Major Collector roadway and a Primary Arterial. The O (Office) General
Plan designation provides for small lot office developments as a transition along
primary and secondary streets while buffering residential land uses from
commercial land uses.

Staff Report Page Three
January 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting

FINDINGS (ZON-66465)
In order to approve a Rezoning application, pursuant to Title 19.16.090(L), the Planning
Commission or City Council must affirm the following:
1.

The proposal conforms to the General Plan.


If approved, the proposed O (Office) zoning district would conform to the proposed
O (Office) 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 uses allowed in the proposed O (Office) zoning district would be too intense
for integration with the existing surrounding residential uses.

3.

Growth and development factors in the community indicate the need for or
appropriateness of the rezoning.
While the immediate area is predominantly residential, factors, including traffic,
has left the subject site no longer suitable for the continuation of low density
residential uses. While staff agrees with the need for the site to be rezoned, staff
finds the proposed O (Office) zoning district to be too intense for an area that is
predominantly residential.

4.

Street or highway facilities providing access to the property are or will be


adequate in size to meet the requirements of the proposed zoning district.
Providing access to the subject site is Gowan Road and Durango Drive. Gowan
Road is an 80-foot Major Collector, and Durango Drive is a 100-foot Primary
Arterial, both of which are adequate in size to meet the requirements of the O
(Office) zoning district.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending approval of the General Plan Amendment from ML (Medium Low
Density Residential) to O (Office) as the O (Office) category provides a transition
between primary and secondary streets and residential land uses; but staff is
recommending denial of the O (Office) zoning district as staff finds the P-O
(Professional Office) zoning district provides a more appropriate transitional zone in an
area that is predominantly residential.

** STAFF REPORT **

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request to amend applications for a General Plan Amendment from ML
(Medium Low Density Residential) to O (Office), and a Rezoning from U (Undeveloped)
[ML (Medium Low) General Plan Land Use Designation] to O (Office). At this time, there
is no development project associated with the requested changes in land use and
zoning designations.

ANALYSIS
The subject site is a vacant, undeveloped 1.83 acre lot located on the southeast corner
of Gowan Road and Durango Drive. Directly adjacent to the subject site along the east
perimeter are established, detached single family homes zoned R-CL (Single Family
Compact-Lot); and north of the subject site are condominiums zoned R-PD10
(Residential Planned Development 10 Units Per Acre).
The applicant has amended the General Plan Amendment request from SC (Service
Commercial) to O (Office). With the subject site being located on a corner fronted by a
Major Collector (Gowan Road) and a Primary Arterial (Durango Drive), staff finds the
proposed O (Office) General Plan Designation to be appropriate as the Office category
provides for small lot offices as a buffer between residential and commercial uses. Staff
is recommending approval of this request.
The applicant has also amended the original Rezoning application request from C-1
(Limited Commercial) to O (Office). While the O (Office) zoning district does not permit
Clinics or Rental Stores like the previously proposed C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning
district did, O (Office) still permits land uses such as Business Schools, Private Country
Clubs, and banks. Staff finds these uses to also be incompatible for residential
adjacency and is recommending denial of the Rezoning request. A more appropriate
zoning district for the subject site would be P-O (Professional Office), which is intended
to allow for office uses in an area which is predominantly residential but because of
traffic and other factors, is no longer suitable for the continuation of low density
residential uses. The P-O (Professional Office) zoning district is designed to be a
transitional zone to allow low intensity administrative and professional offices that
typically have a low volume of direct daily client and/or customer contact.

Staff Report Page Two
January 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting

FINDINGS (GPA-66474)
Section 19.16.030(I) of the Las Vegas Zoning Code requires that the following
conditions be met in order to justify a General Plan Amendment:
1.

The density and intensity of the proposed General Plan Amendment is


compatible with the existing adjacent land use designations,
The proposed O (Office) General Plan Designation is compatible with the existing
single-family residential uses located adjacent to and near the subject site as it is
meant to serve as a buffer between residential and commercial land uses.

2.

The zoning designations allowed by the proposed amendment will be


compatible with the existing adjacent land uses or zoning districts,
Amending the General Plan for the subject site from ML (Medium Low Density
Residential) to O (Office) supports the proposed O (Office) zoning district, but staff
finds a more appropriate zoning district for residential adjacency would be P-O
(Professional Office) as this zoning district is meant to be a transitional zone
between residential and commercial land uses that would allow low intensity
administrative and professional offices.

3.

There are adequate transportation, recreation, utility, and other facilities to


accommodate the uses and densities permitted by the proposed General
Plan Amendment; and
The subject site is located in an established area of the city that is well-served by
existing transportation and utility infrastructure and emergency services. These
services can adequately accommodate the intensity of the proposed O (Office)
General Plan designation.

4.

The proposed amendment conforms to other applicable adopted plans and


policies that include approved neighborhood plans.
The subject site is an undeveloped lot directly adjacent to single family
residential and a Major Collector roadway and a Primary Arterial. The O (Office)
General Plan designation provides for small lot office developments as a
transition along primary and secondary streets while buffering residential land
uses from commercial land uses.

GPA-66474 and ZON-66475 [PRJ-66414]


Staff Report Page Three
January 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting

FINDINGS (ZON-66475)
In order to approve a Rezoning application, pursuant to Title 19.16.090(L), the Planning
Commission or City Council must affirm the following:
1.

The proposal conforms to the General Plan.


If approved, the proposed O (Office) zoning district would conform to the proposed
O (Office) 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 uses allowed in the proposed O (Office) zoning district would be too intense
for integration with the existing surrounding residential uses.

3.

Growth and development factors in the community indicate the need for or
appropriateness of the rezoning.
While the immediate area is predominantly residential, factors, including traffic,
has left the subject site no longer suitable for the continuation of low density
residential uses. While staff agrees with the need for the site to be rezoned, staff
finds the proposed O (Office) zoning district to be too intense for an area that is
predominantly residential.

4.

Street or highway facilities providing access to the property are or will be


adequate in size to meet the requirements of the proposed zoning district.
Providing access to the subject site is Gowan Road and Durango Drive. Gowan
Road is an 80-foot Major Collector, and Durango Drive is a 100-foot Primary
Arterial, both of which are adequate in size to meet the requirements of the O
(Office) zoning district.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending approval of the General Plan Amendment from ML (Medium Low
Density Residential) to O (Office) as the O (Office) category provides a transition
between primary and secondary streets and residential land uses; but staff is
recommending denial of the O (Office) zoning district as staff finds the P-O
(Professional Office) zoning district provides a more appropriate transitional zone in an
area that is predominantly residential.

17. A public member offered to host a separate meeting without the
owner/applicant in order to further discuss the case. The
applicant stated that was fine.
Overall the majority of the public present at the meeting were opposed
to the proposal due to the unknown of what could be placed at the site.
The majority would be more likely to support a residential use.

** STAFF REPORT **

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting to develop a shopping center on 9.63 acres of undeveloped
land at the southeast corner of Deer Springs Way and Hualapai Way. The center would
be anchored by a grocery store and have three in-line multitenant buildings. A corner
convenience store with fuel pumps and an additional pad site are also proposed. The
applications were held in abeyance at the request of the applicant in order to revise the
site plan and landscape plan. As a result, the waiver request to allow five-foot perimeter
landscape buffers along the north and west property lines is no longer needed.
However, an additional parcel was also added to the project during this time, requiring a
Rezoning, Vacation and new tentative map and thereby requiring renotification of all
applications for the public hearing.

ISSUES

At the applicants request, the Variance, three Special Use Permits and Site
Development Plan Review were abeyed to the 01/10/17 Planning Commission
meeting in order to submit applications for a Rezoning, Vacation and Tentative Map
related to this site. The previously approved Tentative Map (TMP-64814) will be
expunged upon final approval.
The applicant has added a newly annexed parcel (APN 125-19-301-010) to the
request. This parcel needs to be rezoned to match the associated parcels. The
addition of this parcel also triggers the need for a Vacation of access and patent
easements and a new tentative map.
The previously requested Waiver to allow a five-foot perimeter landscape buffer
along a portion of the west property line and a five-foot perimeter landscape buffer
along a portion of the north property line where 15 feet is required is no longer
needed, as the applicant has submitted revised site and landscape plans that
indicate 15-foot buffer widths. The redesign reduced the amount of parking
provided, but the overall site will remain in conformance with Title 19 parking
requirements.
A trash enclosure that had been located in direct view of the Deer Springs way rightof-way was relocated behind the proposed car wash vacuum bays and screened by
landscaping to conform to Title 19 commercial development standards.
The applicant has requested a Rezoning from R-E (Residence Estates) to C-1
(Limited Commercial) on a triangular piece of land at the southeast portion of the
site. Staff recommends approval.

Approval of a Variance is necessary to allow a 15-foot rear yard setback for the
Shops A building where 20 feet is required. Staff recommends denial of the
Variance request.
A Waiver has been requested to allow a zero-foot perimeter landscape buffer along
a portion of the east property line where eight feet is required This design is in
anticipation of connecting this site to a future commercial site on the adjacent lot,
which is part of the same proposed commercial subdivision. Staff recommends
denial of the associated Waiver.
A Waiver is required to allow a six-foot perimeter landscape buffer along a portion of
the south property line where 15 feet is required. Staff recommends denial of the
waiver.
A Waiver is required to allow buildings to not be oriented to the corner and street
frontages where such is required. Staff recommends denial of the waiver.
A Waiver is required to allow car wash bays to face a public right-of-way (Deer
Springs Way) where such is not allowed. Staff recommends denial of the waiver.
An Exception is required to allow 107 parking lot trees where 119 trees and
accompanying shrubs are required. Staff recommends denial of the Exception.
Additional trees are required within the perimeter landscape buffers. An Exception
was not requested. A condition of approval addresses this deficiency, which is due
to spacing trees too far apart.
A Car Wash, Full Service use is permitted in the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning
district with approval of a Special Use Permit.
A Liquor Establishment (Tavern) use is permitted in the C-1 (Limited Commercial)
zoning district with approval of a Special Use Permit. A Waiver to allow a 339-foot
distance separation from a school where 1,500 feet is required has been requested.
Staff recommends that the waiver be denied.
A Beer/Wine/Cooler Off-Sale use is permitted in the C-1 (Limited Commercial)
zoning district with approval of a Special Use Permit.
A Grocery Store with Alcohol is a conditional use in the C-1 (Limited Commercial)
zoning district. All conditions can be met by the proposed use.
A Drive-Through is a conditional use in the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district.
All conditions can be met by the proposed use.
Two parking rows face the perimeter streets. Per Title 19.08.110, these rows must
be screened from adjacent roadways in a manner acceptable to the Department of
Planning. A condition of approval addresses this.

ANALYSIS
Development within this site is subject to the requirements of LVMC Title 19, specifically
19.08 Commercial Development Standards and C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning
district standards and 19.12 regarding permitted uses. Several changes were made to
the site and landscape plans to bring certain aspects of these plans into conformance
with Title 19. The applicant has acquired the triangular shaped parcel between the
original site and the drainage channel along Clark County 215. The additional space is
proposed to be used for parking and a truck turnaround. The portions of the north and
west perimeter buffers that were less than 15 feet were widened to 15 feet. In order to
free up additional area for these buffers, some parking spaces were eliminated, one
drive aisle was narrowed and the sidewalk adjacent to Shops C was narrowed. The
pad site proposed along Deer Springs Way was removed and replaced with additional
parking. In addition, the proposed grocery store was reduced in size to 57,584 square
feet. The additional changes have been renotified to the public.
The site is located at the intersection of two major streets (Hualapai Way and Deer
Springs Way), both of which will be improved adjacent to the development. Freeway
access to Clark County 215 is available at the Hualapai Way interchange. Parcels are
undeveloped in every direction from the site. The Providence Master Planned
Community is located to the west, an undeveloped property zoned for commercial uses
is located to the east, the Clark County 215 Beltway right-of-way is located to the south,
and undeveloped low density residential parcels in both the City and County
jurisdictions are located to the north of Deer Springs Way.
A General Plan Amendment (GPA-64811) to change the land use designation to SC
(Service Commercial) and a Rezoning (ZON-64812) to C-1 (Limited Commercial) on
Assessors Parcel Number 125-19-301-001 were approved by the City Council on
09/07/16, as well as a two-lot Tentative Map (TMP-64814) for a commercial subdivision
that spans this site and the lot to the east of this site. This commercial development is
proposed on the westernmost commercial lot only. A final map must still be recorded to
consolidate the existing parcels that make up this property. Improvements on Inyo
Avenue were deferred until the time of development through the approved Tentative
Map (TMP-64814). A new tentative map is proposed that will include APN 125-19-301010. This map will replace the TMP-64814 approval.
Rezoning
The 0.36-acre triangular shaped parcel of land (APN 125-19-301-010) was recently
added to the site plan to allow for additional parking and truck turnaround area. At the
time of annexation, this parcel was brought into the city with a General Plan designation

of SC (Service Commercial) as the most appropriate future land use based on existing
zoning and land uses. Tucked between Clark County 215 and the two five-acre subject
parcels, this parcel is appropriate for commercial uses. Staff recommends approval of
the Rezoning.
Use Definitions and Conditions per LVMC Title 19
Grocery Store With Alcohol
A Grocery Store is defined by Title 19.18 as A business establishment which occupies
all of the business premises of a building or a portion of the business premises of a
building which is segregated physically or spatially from the rest of the business
premises, and which contains more than five thousand square feet of floor space,
exclusive of warehouse and office space, for the display and sale of foodstuffs, whether
fresh, frozen, canned or packaged, and may include the sales of other products,
including non-food items, alcoholic beverages (if licensed by the City for the sale of
alcoholic beverages) and pharmaceuticals, provided the sale of such pharmaceuticals is
incidental to the primary business of selling products other than pharmaceuticals. The
proposed grocery store would be located on the east side of the lot, would contain
57,884 square feet and sell alcoholic beverages in the form of beer, wine and packaged
liquor.
When alcohol is sold, Title 19.12.070 describes this use as a Grocery Store:
1. Whose license to sell alcoholic beverages authorizes their sale to consumers only
and not for resale, in original sealed or corked containers, for consumption off the
premises where the same are sold; and
2. In which the sale of alcoholic beverages is ancillary to the grocery store use, and in
which no more than 10 percent of the retail floor space is regularly devoted to the
display or merchandising of alcoholic beverages. This use includes an establishment
that provides on-premises wine, cordial and liqueur tasting if the licensee also holds a
wine, cordial and liqueur tasting license for that location.
This use is conditional in the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district. As this proposed
Grocery Store with Alcohol will contain greater than 50,000 square feet of retail floor
space, the minimum 400-foot distance separation requirements do not apply. All other
conditional use regulations will be met by the proposed Grocery Store.

Drive-Through
Title 19.18 defines this use as the use of a dedicated drive lane that, incidental to a
principal use, provides access to a station, such as a window, door or mechanical
device, from which occupants of a motor vehicle receive or obtain a product or service.
This use is conditional in the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district. Drive-throughs
are proposed both around a proposed automated car wash and fast food restaurant.
Both stacking lanes will accommodate at least six vehicles, as shown on the site plan.
Car Wash, Full Service
The Car Wash, Full Service use is defined as An establishment that provides for the
washing, cleaning, waxing or detailing of passenger vehicles, either by means of
employees or by means of automated or semi-automated methods of cleaning, or by a
combination thereof. The proposed use meets the definition, as an automated
mechanism will be housed to the east of the 5,075 square-foot convenience store
(General Retail Store) establishment for the purpose of cleaning and waxing of vehicles.
Two parking spaces are reserved for vacuuming of vehicles.
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirement for this use is the following:
1. Each wash bay shall have a stacking lane that will accommodate at least six
cars.
The proposed use meets this requirement, as a single wash bay will be provided
with a stacking lane that wraps around the proposed convenience store building
and which supports six vehicles in queuing position.
The use can be accessed from any of the driveways on the site; however, vehicles
enter the 12-foot wide wash bay drive-through lane from the west. The drive-through is
adequately screened from the adjacent parking area by landscaping consisting of
shrubs and Mexican fan palms. The wash bay faces Deer Springs Way, which requires
a waiver through the accompanying Site Development Plan Review. However, staff
does not support the requested Special Use Permit, as it does not support the related
Site Development Plan Review.
Liquor Establishment (Tavern)
The Liquor Establishment (Tavern) use is defined 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

Staff Report Page Six
January 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting

proposed use meets the definition, as the establishment intends to sell alcoholic
beverages for consumption on the premises.
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include:
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. (NONWAIVABLE EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW)
The proposed use does not meet this requirement, as there is a high school
located 339 feet southwest of the property. This requirement is waivable under
Special Use Permit Requirement 5e, as the protected use (school) is separated
from the proposed Liquor Establishment (Tavern) by a freeway (Clark County
215).
2. The distance separation referred to in Requirement 1 shall be measured with
reference to the shortest distance between two property lines, one being the
property line of the proposed liquor establishment (tavern) which is closest to the
existing use to which the measurement pertains, and the other being the property
line of that existing use which is closest to the proposed liquor establishment
(tavern). The distance shall be measured in a straight line without regard to
intervening obstacles. (NONWAIVABLE)
Measurement is taken from the boundaries of APN 125-19-301-001, the current
parcel on which the use would be located. Future consolidation of the parcels on
the subject site would not change the separation distance from property line to
property line.
3. For the purpose of Requirement 2, and for that purpose only:
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
b. The property line of a liquor establishment (tavern) refers to:
i. The property line of a parcel that has been created by an approved
and recorded parcel map or commercial subdivision map; or

ii. The property line of a parcel that is located within an approved and
recorded commercial subdivision and that has been created by a
record of survey or legal description, if:
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.
(NONWAIVABLE)
A commercial subdivision map is expected to be recorded that creates a 9.62acre lot by which measurement to protected uses is taken. Future record of
survey lines may be recorded that may or may not capture all measurement
requirements in Subparagraphs A-D.
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 does not apply, as neither circumstance applies to the subject
establishment.
5. The distance separation requirement set forth in Requirement 1 may be waived
in accordance with the provisions of LVMC 19.12.050(C), but only in connection
with a proposed liquor establishment (tavern) that:
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

c. Will be located within a regional mall; or
d. Will be located within a mixed-use development

ii. That has a minimum net site area of 15 acres; and
iii. Whose gross floor area of nonresidential space is a minimum of
250,000 square feet; or
e. Will be separated from the existing use by a street or highway with a
minimum right-of-way width of 100 feet.
This requirement applies, as a waiver of distance separation is necessary. The
protected use (high school) is separated from the proposed Liquor Establishment
(Tavern) by a freeway (Clark County 215).
6. The use shall conform to, and is subject to, the provisions of LVMC Chapters
6.40 and 6.50. (NONWAIVABLE)
The proposed use is required to comply with this requirement as a condition of
approval.
The proposed Tavern would be located in a 4,000 square-foot tenant space at the west
end of the Shops A building. The Tavern would contain two kitchens, a lounge with 22
seats and 15 gaming machines and a dining area with 28 seats. By virtue of the
location of the overall parcels, this use will be located within 1,500 feet of a public high
school to the southwest. The school property is situated on the south side of the Clark
County 215 freeway, 339 feet from the closest point of the subject property. Per Title
19.12.070, the separation requirement is waivable. However, staff does not support the
requested Special Use Permit, as it does not support the related Site Development Plan
Review.
Beer/Wine/Cooler Off-Sale Establishment
The Beer/Wine/Cooler Off-Sale use is defined by Title 19.18 as an establishment
whose license to sell alcoholic beverages is limited to the sale of beer, wine and coolers
to consumers only and not for resale, in original sealed or corked containers, for
consumption off the premises where the same are sold, and is operated in connection
with a grocery store, drug store, convenience store or specialty merchandise store.
The proposed use meets the definition, as only beer, wine and wine coolers are
proposed to be sold in connection with a convenience store in their original sealed

containers for off-premises consumption. The floor plan indicates that beer, wine and
wine coolers would be located within a bank of coolers along the south side of the store.
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include:
1. Except as otherwise provided, no beer/wine/cooler off-sale establishment
(hereinafter establishment) shall be located within 400 feet of any church/house
of worship, school,
individual care center licensed for more than 12 children, or City park.
(NONWAIVABLE EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW)
The proposed use does not meet this requirement, as a public high school is
located 339 feet southwest of the property where 400 feet is required. This
requirement is waivable under Special Use Permit Requirement 7d, as the
protected use (school) is separated from the proposed Beer/Wine/Cooler OffSale Establishment by a minimum 330-foot right-of-way (Clark County 215).
2. Except as otherwise provided in Requirement 3 below, the distances referred to
in Requirement 1 shall be determined with reference to the shortest distance
between two property lines, one being the property line of the proposed
establishment which is closest to the existing use to which the measurement
pertains, and the other being the property line of that existing use which is
closest to the proposed establishment. The distance shall be measured in a
straight line without regard to intervening obstacles.
For purposes of
measurement, the term property line refers to property lines of fee interest
parcels and does not include the property line of:
a. Any leasehold parcel; or
b. Any parcel which lacks access to a public street or has no area for onsite
parking and which has been created so as to avoid the distance limitation
described in Requirement 1. (NONWAIVABLE)
Measurement is taken from the boundaries of APN 125-19-301-001, the current
parcel on which the use would be located. Future consolidation of the parcels on
the subject site would not change the separation distance from property line to
property line.
3. In the case of an establishment proposed to be located on a parcel of at least 80
acres in size, the minimum distances referred to in Requirement 1 shall be
measured in a straight line:
a. From the nearest property line of the existing use to the nearest portion of
the structure in which the establishment will be located, without regard to
intervening obstacles; or

b. In the case of a proposed establishment which will be located within a


shopping center or other multiple tenant structure, from the nearest
property line of the existing use to the nearest property line of a leasehold
or occupancy parcel in which the establishment will be located, without
regard to intervening obstacles. (NONWAIVABLE)
This requirement does not apply, as the parcel is less than 80 acres in size.
4. When considering a Special Use Permit application for an establishment which
also requires a waiver of the distance limitation in Requirement 1, the Planning
Commission shall take into consideration the distance policy and shall, as part of
its recommendation to the City Council, state whether the distance requirement
should be waived and the reasons in support of the decision.
This requirement applies, as a waiver of distance separation is necessary.
5. The minimum distance requirements in Requirement 1 do not apply to:
a. An establishment which has a nonrestricted gaming license in connection
with a hotel having 200 or more guest rooms n or before July 1, 1992 or in
connection with a resort hotel having in excess of 200 guest rooms after
July 1, 1992; or
b. A proposed establishment having more than 50,000 square feet of retail
floor space.
Neither condition above applies to this request; therefore, the minimum distance
requirements apply.
6. All businesses which sell alcoholic beverages shall conform to the provisions of
LVMC Chapter 6.50. (NONWAIVABLE)
The proposed use is required to comply with this requirement as a condition of
approval.
7.

The minimum distance requirements set forth in Requirement 1, which are


otherwise nonwaivable under the provisions of LVMC 19.12.050(C), may be
waived:
a. In accordance with the provisions of LVMC 19.12.050(C) for any
establishment which is proposed to be located on a parcel within the
Downtown Casino Overlay District;

b. In accordance with the applicable provisions of the Town Center


Development Standards Manual for any establishment which is proposed
to be located within the T-C (Town Center) Zoning District and which is
designated MS-TC (Main Street Mixed Use) in the Town Center Land Use
Plan;
c. In connection with a proposed establishment having between 20,000
square feet and 50,000 square feet of retail floor space, if no more than 10
percent of the retail floor space is regularly devoted to the display or
merchandising of alcoholic beverages; or
d. In connection with a retail establishment having less than 20,000 square
feet of retail floor space, if the area to be used for the sale, display or
merchandising of alcoholic beverages and each use to be protected are
separated by a highway or a right-of-way with a width of at least 100 feet.
This requirement applies, as a waiver of distance separation is necessary. The
protected use (high school) is separated from the proposed Liquor Establishment
(Tavern) by a roadway of at least 100 feet (Clark County 215).
8. No beer/wine/cooler off-sale establishment shall be permitted on or adjacent to
the Pedestrian Mall, as defined in LVMC Chapter 11.68.
This requirement does not apply, as the proposed use would not be located on or
adjacent to the Pedestrian Mall.
Staff does not support the requested Special Use Permit, as it does not support the
related Site Development Plan Review.
Variance and Waivers
The Shops A building is located adjacent to the drainage channel located within the
Clark County 215 right-of-way. The C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district requires a
20-foot rear yard setback; however, 15 feet is being provided, as according to the
applicant, moving the building an additional five feet to the north would eliminate a row
of parking that is necessary to meet parking requirements. A nine-foot sidewalk abuts
the building on all sides. Staff does not support the variance, as there are no physical
constraints to the property and this building or other planned buildings could be reduced
or otherwise reconfigured on the site to both retain the building and meet parking
requirements.
Title 19.08.040(B)(6) requires buildings on corner lots to be oriented to the setback lines
to form a street edge. The proposed convenience store is designed to be located away
from the corner, with an open fuel canopy occupying the corner. The applicant requests
that a waiver allowing this design be approved for purposes of maintaining visibility and

functionality for the shopping center tenants and customers. As this is the first
development in what is expected to be a large commercial center on vacant land, it sets
a precedent for a similar pattern of future development along Deer Springs Way and
Hualapai Way. As there are no extraordinary circumstances with the land that would
preclude the building from being situated at the corner, staff recommends that the
waiver be denied.
The proposed car wash bay faces Deer Springs Way where bay openings are required
to be oriented away from public rights-of-way per Title 19.08.040(B)(4). The applicant
has requested to waive this standard, as the bay opening would face one of the two
perimeter streets regardless of the design, and would not face any residential uses.
However, if the convenience store and wash bay were rotated 90 degrees, the
orientation would be less likely to negatively impact future residential development
across from this site, given that Hualapai Way will be improved to at least 100 feet in
width. The layout as currently submitted is not sufficiently screened from street views,
as a five-foot landscape buffer is proposed along Deer Springs Way across from the
wash bay. Staff recommends denial of this waiver.
Perimeter landscape buffer widths are substandard along all sides of the development.
The east perimeter is devoid of landscaping in anticipation of a future commercial
development and shared vehicular access between this site and the parcel to the east,
which will be part of the same commercial subdivision. An eight-foot buffer that narrows
down to five feet is proposed to be provided along the south property line adjacent to
the Clark County 215 right-of-way and intervening drainage channel. The applicant
claims that the narrower landscape buffer widths along portions of Deer Springs Way
and Hualapai Way where 15 feet is required are justified, as a detached sidewalk and
additional landscaping will be provided in the amenity zones, and additional right-of-way
is requested for a right turn lane. Staff agrees that the landscaping abutting Clark
County 215 is not visible from the freeway and would serve little purpose, and would
support a waiver of the eight-foot buffer requirement; however, the lack of landscaping
along the east property line is the result of a self-created hardship executed through the
previous request for a two-lot subdivision in which the shopping center will have
perpetual cross access between lots, and there is no basis on which staff can
recommend approval of a waiver. Along public rights-of-way, Title 19 requires 15 feet of
landscaping in addition to streetscape required for shading of sidewalks and protection
of pedestrians and bicyclists.
Staff does not support the requested Variances and Waivers.
Vacation

relinquish the City's interests in U.S. Government Patent Reservations generally located

south of Deer Springs Way, east of Hualapai 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 company's interests will need to be
addressed with each respective utility company and will not be affected by the City
relinquishing its interest.
Tentative Map
The submitted Tentative Map (TMP-67940) is now in conformance with the proposed
site plan that includes APN 125-19-301-010 and relocates Inyo Avenue further to the
east. Staff recommends approval, subject to conditions. Vacation of the right-of-way
grant for Inyo Avenue and Citys interest in U.S. Government Patent Easements located
on Assessor Parcel Numbers 125-19-301-002 and 125-19-301-003 shall be recorded
prior to or concurrently with a Final Map over any portion of this site covered by the
tentative map. Staff notes that elevations for the north/south and east/west cross
sections are shown with this Tentative Map submittal, but no retaining walls are
proposed. The north/south cross section shows an average slope of less than 2% while
the east/west cross section shows an average slope greater than 2%. This information
may be useful when a Site Development Plan Review application is submitted.
Other Issues
Hualapai Way is classified as a Primary Arterial street. Complete Streets Standards
require a five-foot sidewalk and a three-foot amenity zone with trees 45 feet on center.
The landscape plan indicates that a five-foot detached sidewalk and 5.5-foot amenity
zone will be provided, with only five-gallon shrubs to be planted. A condition of approval
will require that 24-inch box shade trees be provided within the amenity zone at least 45
feet on center in conformance with Complete Streets Standards.
Deer Springs Way is classified as a Major Collector street. Complete Streets Standards
require a five-foot sidewalk and a three-foot amenity zone with trees 40 feet on center.
The landscape plan indicates that a five-foot detached sidewalk and 3.5-foot amenity
zone will be provided, with only five-gallon shrubs planted. A condition of approval will
require that 24-inch box shade trees be provided within the amenity zone at least 40
feet on center in conformance with Complete Streets Standards.
Additional trees are required within the perimeter landscape buffers. The deficiency is
the result of spacing trees too far apart. Trees must be spaced no further apart than 20
feet along Deer Springs Way and Hualapai Way and 30 feet in the buffer along the

south property line. An Exception from these standards was not requested; therefore, a
condition of approval addresses this deficiency.
Portions of the parking areas directly face Deer Springs Way and Hualapai Way. These
rows of parking must be adequately screened from rights-of-way by a low wall or berm,
low hedge or other screening acceptable to the Department of Planning. The site plan
and/or landscape plan must be revised to indicate how parking will be screened.
Freestanding pylon signs are indicated at the access driveways from the perimeter
streets. A monument sign is also proposed at the corner of Deer Springs Way and
Hualapai Way. Signs will be reviewed for conformance to Title 19 standards under
separate permit.
The development overall is suitable for this site, as it is located at the corner of two
planned major thoroughfares and backs up to a freeway. However, the building
configuration and design elements are conducive only to automobile and truck traffic
and little consideration is given to other modes of transportation. In addition, this project
is projected to strain Hualapai Way beyond traffic handling capacity. As the first
commercial development proposed in this area, the proposal is not the model for the
future pattern of development along these corridors; staff therefore recommends denial
of all applications, with conditions if approved.

FINDINGS (VAR-66443)
In accordance with the provisions of Title 19.16.140(B), Planning Commission and City
Council, in considering the merits of a Variance request, shall not grant a Variance in
order to:
1.
2.
3.

Permit a use in a zoning district in which the use is not allowed;


Vary any minimum spacing requirement between uses;
Relieve a hardship which is solely personal, self-created or financial in nature.

Additionally, Title 19.16.140(L) states:


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

good, without substantial impairment of affected natural resources and without


substantially impairing the intent and purpose of any ordinance or resolution.
No evidence of a unique or extraordinary circumstance has been presented, in that the
applicant has created a self-imposed hardship by situating the proposed Shops A
building in such a way that the other buildings and required parking spaces cannot
otherwise be provided to code standards. Reduction of building size or reconfiguration
of the other buildings and parking area would allow conformance to the Title 19
requirements. In view of the absence of any hardships imposed by the sites physical
characteristics, it is concluded that the applicants hardship is preferential in nature, and
it is thereby outside the realm of NRS Chapter 278 for granting of Variances.

FINDINGS (SUP-66444)
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 Planning Commission and/or City Council must affirm the following:
1.

The proposed development is compatible with adjacent development and

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 shopping center requires a rear yard setback variance and waivers
of building placement, car wash bay orientation and perimeter landscape buffer
widths, most of which staff cannot support, as there is no sufficient justification
based on the physical characteristics of the land to warrant these deviations.
Parking and uses will be consistent with the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning
district and SC (Service Commercial) General Plan Designation.

3.

Site access and circulation do not negatively impact adjacent roadways or


neighborhood traffic;
Site access will be taken from one driveway from Hualapai Way and two
driveways from Deer Springs Way, designated as a Primary Arterial and Major
Arterial, respectively. Each access will be right-in, right-out. Access is also
proposed at the eastern boundary of the site along Deer Springs Way, to be
shared with a future commercial development. Improvements will be made
pending results of a Traffic Impact Analysis. According to the Department of
Public Works, this project will add approximately 9,637 trips per day on Deer
Springs Way and Hualapai Way. Currently, Deer Springs Way is at about 17
percent of capacity and Hualapai Way is at about 77 percent of capacity. With
this project, Deer Springs Way is expected to be at about 79 percent of capacity
and Hualapai Way to be over capacity.

4.

Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the
City;
Building materials include painted stucco exteriors, stone veneer accents, clay tile
roofs, metal awnings and precast columns. These materials are typical of
shopping centers and are appropriate for this area. Landscape materials are
drought tolerant and appropriate for this location. Additional trees and shrubs
shall be provided in the north and south landscape buffers.

5.

Building elevations, design characteristics and other architectural and


aesthetic features are not unsightly, undesirable, or obnoxious in
appearance; create an orderly and aesthetically pleasing environment; and
are harmonious and compatible with development in the area;

The proposed building elevations are typical of those for shopping centers in the
nearby Town Center area, with arched walkways, varied rooflines with cornices,
and popouts at storefronts. The outlying pad buildings are compatible with the
larger anchor buildings in terms of architectural style. Overall, the elevations are
sensitive to development in the area, which is primarily residential in character.

Appropriate measures are taken to secure and protect the public health,
safety and general welfare.
The proposed development is subject to permit review and inspection, thereby
protecting the public health, safety and general welfare.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting to change the future land use designation and rezone 15
undeveloped acres on the west side of Shaumber Road, approximately 700 feet south
of Ann Road.

ISSUES

A General Plan Amendment is requested to change the future land use designation
on this site from PCD (Planned Community Development) and PF (Public Facilities)
to M (Medium Density Residential). Staff recommends approval.
A Rezoning is requested on this site from U (Undeveloped) [PCD (Planned
Community Development) General Plan Designation] and C-V (Civic) to R-3
(Medium Density Residential). Staff recommends approval.
A Site Development Plan Review for a specific development on this site has not
been submitted.
Additional land within the federal land disposal boundary located to the west of this
site is in the process of annexation to the city of Las Vegas. The annexation is
expected to become effective 01/13/17.

ANALYSIS
The site consists of three undeveloped parcels located just within the eastern edge of
the city limits and to the northwest of the Clark County School District bus transit yard.
The site is surrounded on all sides by Bureau of Land Management land, with the
exception of one privately owned five-acre parcel in unincorporated Clark County
jurisdiction. A gravel pit operation is located on the southern portion of the parcel to the
south, as well as on the parcel to the west. Multi-family residential uses are proposed
for the site; however, no Site Development Plan Review has been submitted for any
specific development on this site.
The Centennial Hills Sector Plan of the Las Vegas 2020 Master Plan indicates that this
area is primarily planned for Planned Community Development, which is limited to eight
dwelling units per acre, and Public Facilities, which does not allow for residential zoning
of any kind. However, the neighboring area is developed only with the gravel pit and
these undeveloped areas are subject to change. Ann Road, a 100-foot Primary Arterial,
will be extended westward to abut the northern boundary of this site. In addition, the
Sheep Mountain Parkway freeway connector is proposed to run from approximately Ann
Road north, parallel to the existing 215 freeway corridor.

Staff Report Page Two
January 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting

As a result of the disposal of federal land to be managed by local governments or


private entities, the City is in the process of annexing approximately 4,500 acres of
federal land generally located along the northwest boundaries of the City, including
portions of land adjacent to and near the Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument
and the Red Rock National Conservation Area. The annexation process has now been
completed in accordance with NRS, and the effective date will be 01/13/17. These
lands include an area extending over one mile west of the subject site. Although most
of this land will be brought in with a U (Undeveloped) zoning designation, this
classification is considered a holding zone to prevent haphazard development until
such time as another district becomes compatible with neighboring properties. It is
expected that as additional property is developed along Ann Road, the 215, and the
proposed Sheep Mountain Parkway, that higher density uses will be appropriate in the
area. The subject site would provide more intense residential development that will
provide a buffer for less intense residential development expected to the west within the
newly annexed area. Staff therefore recommends approval of the General Plan
Amendment and Rezoning. If denied, the site will retain the existing General Plan and
zoning designations.

FINDINGS (GPA-66493)
Section 19.16.030(I) of the Las Vegas Zoning Code requires that the following
conditions be met in order to justify a General Plan Amendment:
1.

The density and intensity of the proposed General Plan Amendment is


compatible with the existing adjacent land use designations,
The M (Medium Density Residential) General Plan designation allows for up to
25.49 dwelling units per acre. The adjacent PCD (Planned Community
Development) designation allows for up to eight dwelling units per acre, and the
PF (Public Facilities) designation does not allow for residential zoning districts.
However, this site as well as the surrounding area is completely undeveloped
except for a community gravel pit. Low density residential is not expected to fill in
this area. Therefore, the requested amendment to the M designation will be
compatible with the neighboring designations.

2.

The zoning designations allowed by the proposed amendment will be


compatible with the existing adjacent land uses or zoning districts,
Per the Las Vegas 2020 Master Plan Land Use Element, the M (Medium Density
Residential) land use designation allows for R-3 (Medium Density Residential), R2 (Medium-Low Density Residential) and R-TH (Single Family Attached) zoning
districts. None of these districts are in and of themselves compatible with the
existing C-V (Civic), U (Undeveloped) or R-U (Rural Open Land) zoning districts
SS

GPA-66493 and ZON-66494 [PRJ-66429]


on adjacent parcels. However, this site will abut a Primary Arterial and be in close
proximity to a Major Collector. The R-3 zoning district is appropriate for this
location despite the neighboring designations.

3.

There are adequate transportation, recreation, utility, and other facilities to


accommodate the uses and densities permitted by the proposed General
Plan Amendment; and
There is currently no paved access to the subject site. Ann Road, a Primary
Arterial roadway, is proposed to be extended west by the City and would provide
direct access to the property. A future Site Development Plan Review must be
filed to review ingress and egress design and effects to neighborhood traffic,
which is currently affected by commuting buses from Clark County School
Districts bus transit yard facility. The nearest public recreation facility is located
approximately 5,450 feet south of this site. The site has been annexed the city of
Las Vegas; however, utilities must be extended to serve this site.

4.

The proposed amendment conforms to other applicable adopted plans and


policies that include approved neighborhood plans.
There are no other neighborhood plans or special area plans that include this
area.

FINDINGS (ZON-66494)
In order to approve a Rezoning application, pursuant to Title 19.16.090(L), the Planning
Commission or City Council must affirm the following:
1.

The proposal conforms to the General Plan.


With approval of a General Plan Amendment to M (Medium Density Residential),
the proposed Rezoning to R-3 (Medium Density Residential) will conform to the
General Plan.

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-3 zoning district will allow for Multi-Family Residential uses with densities
between 13 and 50 dwelling units per acre. However, the density is further limited
to 25.49 dwelling units per acre when the approved General Plan designation is M
(Medium Density Residential). The surrounding area is currently undeveloped
and zoning designations are subject to change as development expands west of
Shaumber Road.

3.

Growth and development factors in the community indicate the need for or
appropriateness of the rezoning.
Ann Road, a Primary Arterial, will be extended west alogn the northern boundary
of this site. In addition, the city limits will be extended westward through
annexation adjacent to the Red Rock Conservation Area. This land will provide a
buffer between the Conservation Area and higher densities.

4.

Street or highway facilities providing access to the property are or will be


adequate in size to meet the requirements of the proposed zoning district.
Access to the property will be provided by the future western extension of Ann
Road, which will align with the northern boundary of the site. Ann Road is
proposed to be a Primary Arterial (100 feet wide) in this area at full build-out,
which will be adequate in size to accommodate the densities allowed by the R-3
zoning district.

Staff Report Page Four
January 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting

Neighborhood Meeting
Concerns:
The neighbors present do not want any commercial, and were
not in support of this proposal.
Do not want any more traffic along Rainbow Boulevard.
Questions were raised in regards to the well (water), the
representative informed the neighbors that a new commercial
project would not use the well, and the required clearance
around the well would remain for maintenance.
Residents questioned and expressed concerns in regards to
what other types of land uses could go in to a C-1 (Limited
Commercial) zoning district if a Grocery Store tenant was not
secured or eventually went out of business.
Do not feel there is enough people and/or traffic to support a
Grocery Store in this area with other existing shopping centers
relatively close by.
Residents felt that this rural portion of Rainbow Boulevard does
not need commercial, and that only the owners of the properties
included in this proposal would benefit from converting to
subject sites to commercial. They also feel commercial land
uses are being forced upon them even though the desire for it is
not there.
Concern over increased use of the alleyway, including
deliveries and individuals using the commercial property to gain
entry into residents rear yards.
The residents specifically purchased their homes because there
was no commercial existing or planned for the immediate area
at the time.
Staff noted that some of the property owners for the proposed project
may have been there, but were not clearly identified. There were no
residents present expressing support for this project. All who attended
and spoke during the meeting did not support the proposed Grocery
Store, the General Plan Amendment or Rezoning.

Field Check
12/05/16

The site contains three existing single family dwellings maintained in


good condition. Each parcel frontage is walled and gated. There are
no sidewalks adjacent to the site.

** STAFF REPORT **

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting to construct a five-building, 69,500 square-foot office and
warehouse complex on 2.74 acres on the north side of Main Street south of Washington
Avenue. In order to provide shared access and parking throughout the site, the
applicant is also requesting to combine all parcels into a single lot.

ISSUES

Title 19.16.010(A) requires that all requests for Variances, Waivers, Exceptions,
Deviations and Site Development Plan Reviews be consistent with the spirit and
intent of the General Plan. A General Plan Amendment is therefore required for the
proposed Warehouse/Distribution Center use to be consistent with the General Plan.
Staff recommends approval of the request.
A Variance is needed to allow 166 parking spaces where 232 spaces are required
and to allow no loading spaces where four loading spaces are required. Staff does
not support this request.
A Variance is needed to allow a zero-foot side yard setback from the north property
line where 10 feet is required. Staff does not support this request.
A Tentative Map for a one-lot commercial subdivision (Downtown Business Park)
has been requested, which would combine the four parcels that make up this site
into a single lot and would allow for future property lines to be drawn through records
of survey. Staff recommends denial of the request.
A Site Development Plan Review is required to develop the site for an office and
warehouse complex. Staff recommends denial of the request.
A Waiver is required to allow a zero-foot perimeter landscape buffer along portions
of the west property line where eight feet is required. Staff recommends approval of
the waiver.
An Exception is required to allow zero perimeter buffer trees along the south
property line adjacent to public right-of-way where five trees are required. Staff
recommends approval of the Exception.
An Exception is required to allow 13 parking lot trees where 38 parking lot trees are
required. Staff recommends denial of the Exception.
An existing wrought iron fence exceeding five feet in height is located within the front
yard setback area. Staff could not locate permits for this fence. If the fence is not to
be removed and no prior permit can be obtained, a variance to allow a fence taller
than five feet would be required.

ANALYSIS
The site is currently in the Downtown Redevelopment Area and is designated C
(Commercial) for future land use. The current zoning is M (Industrial). The area is
located within the Downtown North Land Use Plan, also designated C (Commercial)
and listed as Vacant Land. This plan contains no specific development standards, but
outlines a vision for revitalization of the area. The Plan notes the concentration of
automotive body and repair shops in this area, and supports continued use of the area
west of Main Street for industrial uses, emphasizing the enhancement of these
properties through adherence to zoning regulations and design standards. Expansion
of industrial development is not promoted, although areas of industrial infill are
encouraged as logical extensions of existing development. The proposed office/
warehouse complex is surrounded by a variety of commercial and industrial uses and
would be an extension of similar types of land uses. This area is also part of the
Downtown Periphery portion of the Downtown Master Plan. There is no specific policy
focus for this area within the plan.
Title 19.16.010(A) requires that approval of all Variances, Waivers, Exceptions,
Deviations and Site Development Plan Reviews (all application types requested through
this project) be consistent with the spirit and intent of the General Plan. A General Plan
Amendment from C (Commercial) to LI/R (Light Industry/Research) is therefore needed
for the proposed Warehouse/Distribution Center use to be consistent with the General
Plan. Prior to 2003, this site had been designated Industrial on the Downtown
Redevelopment Area Land Use Map, which would have allowed both the
Warehouse/Distribution Center use and M (Industrial) zoning district. An amendment
(GPA-2497) was then approved changing the parcels located on the west side of Main
Street between Bonanza Road and Washington Avenue to C (Commercial).
Per the Las Vegas 2020 Master Plan Land Use Element, the Light Industry/Research
land use category allow areas appropriate for clean, low-intensity (non-polluting and
non-nuisance) industrial uses, including light manufacturing, assembling and
processing, warehousing and distribution, and research, development and testing
laboratories. Typical supporting and ancillary general uses are also allowed. Mixeduse development with a residential component may also be allowed as a transition to
less intense uses where appropriate. As the proposed uses are permitted by the
current zoning district, such uses are promoted by the Downtown North Land Use Plan
and the surrounding land uses remain compatible with industrial uses, staff
recommends amending the land use designation of this parcel from C (Commercial) to
LI/R (Light Industrial/Research) on this site.
Four of the five buildings (labeled on the site plan as Buildings A through D) are
single-story structures intended to contain a mix of office and warehouse uses. The
amount of office and warehouse space to be used out of the possible 37,500 square

feet is speculative at this time; therefore, in order to calculate parking requirements, the
worst-case scenario of 100 percent office uses was applied. Each of these buildings
will contain roll-up doors for storage, so at least some of this space will consist of
warehouse uses, thereby lessening the severity of the variance request. A threshold of
between 75 and 100 percent warehouse in Buildings A through D would allow for
conformance with Title 19 parking requirements. As the hardship in this case is selfimposed and the exact amount of warehouse space is unknown at this time, staff
recommends denial of the variance of parking standards. It should be noted that
although spaces are proposed to be striped in front of the roll-up doors, these are not
standard loading spaces and are not counted toward any parking requirement.
The design of the site requires a variance of building setback from the north property
line. The two-story office (Building E) contains an integrated four-level parking garage
that abuts the property line. The applicant also owns the properties to the north, which
contains existing retail buildings; however, if the northern properties are sold, the new
owner would be most impacted by the zero-foot setback. The hardship is again selfimposed; therefore, staff recommends denial of the variance.
Landscaping is provided along the north, south and east perimeters. The parking lot
abuts the west property line, which in turn abuts the Union Pacific Railroad right-of-way;
therefore, the applicant has requested a waiver of the required eight-foot landscape
buffer along the west property line. As the minimum rear setback in the M (Industrial)
zoning district is zero feet and the required landscaping would have little practical or
aesthetic benefit to the public, staff recommends approval of the requested waiver.
The site lacks adequate landscaping within the parking lot. The significant reduction in
the number of required trees (a 66 percent deviation) does allow for more parking
spaces to be provided, but also creates large areas of pavement that will lack the
shading and cooling effects of trees. Staff therefore recommends denial of the required
Exception.
Six perimeter trees and two parking lot trees are depicted within a proposed sewer
easement. However, no vegetation over three feet in height is allowed within a sewer
easement. Therefore, no trees can be provided within this area, and the trees depicted
in the easement cannot be counted toward the required number of trees. Staff supports
an exception to allow no trees along this portion of the perimeter, as the sewer line is
needed.
An existing wrought iron fence exceeding five feet in height is located within the front
yard setback area. Staff could not locate permits for this fence. If the fence is not to be
removed and no prior permit can be obtained, a variance to allow a fence taller than five
feet would be required. At the neighborhood meeting for this site, the applicant stated
that the fence along the front (east) side of the property would be removed.

January 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting

In order to provide shared access and parking throughout the site, the applicant is
requesting a one-lot commercial subdivision. Access is provided from an unnamed
right-of-way and an existing driveway on Main Street. A note on the map states that
common area landscaping will be maintained by a landscape maintenance association.
The north/south and east/west cross sections are not shown with this Tentative Map
submittal. However, since this property and all surrounding properties are graded or
developed, no retaining walls are shown or anticipated.
The lack of adequate parking and parking lot landscaping, as well as the zero-foot side
yard setback, indicates that the site would be overbuilt and therefore not a design
compatible with the surrounding area. Staff therefore recommends denial of the Site
Development Plan Review and Tentative Map on which it was based.

FINDINGS (GPA-67918)
Section 19.16.030(I) of the Las Vegas Zoning Code requires that the following
conditions be met in order to justify a General Plan Amendment:
1.

The density and intensity of the proposed General Plan Amendment is


compatible with the existing adjacent land use designations,
The proposed LI/R (Light Industry/Research) designation is more intense than the
C (Commercial) designation adjacent to this site. However, the current M
(Industrial) zoning district is already in conformance with the LI/R designation, and
the existing uses on the surrounding properties exhibit characteristics consistent
with the LI/R designation.

2.

The zoning designations allowed by the proposed amendment will be


compatible with the existing adjacent land uses or zoning districts,
The LI/R (Light Industry/Research) designation is the least restrictive land use
category for commercial and industrial areas. It allows for M (Industrial), C-M
(Commercial/Industrial), C-2 (General Commercial), C-1 (Limited Commercial), O
(Office) and P-O (Professional Office) zoning districts. Neighboring properties are
currently zoned M, C-M or C-1.

3.

There are adequate transportation, recreation, utility, and other facilities to


accommodate the uses and densities permitted by the proposed General
Plan Amendment; and

This site is an infill parcel in a well-developed area adjacent to a railroad right-ofway, with no adjacent residential uses. Main Street is a Primary Arterial that has
been well established, but has less than its full width constructed. Adequate
utilities are available in this area.
4.

The proposed amendment conforms to other applicable adopted plans and


policies that include approved neighborhood plans.
The proposed LI/R designation is consistent with the recommendations of the
Downtown North Land Use Plan and the Las Vegas 2020 Master Plan, although
not consistent with the designation shown on those plans for this site.

FINDINGS (VAR-67919)
In accordance with the provisions of Title 19.16.140(B), Planning Commission and City
Council, in considering the merits of a Variance request, shall not grant a Variance in
order to:
1.
2.
3.

Permit a use in a zoning district in which the use is not allowed;


Vary any minimum spacing requirement between uses;
Relieve a hardship which is solely personal, self-created or financial in nature.

Additionally, Title 19.16.140(L) states:


Where by reason of exceptional narrowness, shallowness, or shape of a specific
piece of property at the time of enactment of the regulation, or by reason of
exceptional topographic conditions or other extraordinary and exceptional
situation or condition of the piece of property, the strict application of any zoning
regulation would result in peculiar and exceptional practical difficulties to, or
exceptional and undue hardships upon, the owner of the property, a variance
from that strict application may be granted so as to relieve the difficulties or
hardship, if the relief may be granted without substantial detriment to the public
good, without substantial impairment of affected natural resources and without
substantially impairing the intent and purpose of any ordinance or resolution.
No evidence of a unique or extraordinary circumstance has been presented, in that the
applicant has created a self-imposed hardship by overbuilding the site and not
specifying the mix of proposed office and warehouse uses. A mix of between 75 and
100 percent warehouse uses in Buildings A through D or a significant reduction in
office space in Building E would allow conformance to the Title 19 requirements. In
view of the absence of any hardships imposed by the sites physical characteristics, it is
concluded that the applicants hardship is preferential in nature, and it is thereby outside
the realm of NRS Chapter 278 for granting of Variances.

No evidence of a unique or extraordinary circumstance has been presented, in that the
applicant has created a self-imposed hardship by designing a proposed parking
structure with a zero-foot side yard setback. Reducing the size of the proposed building
would allow conformance to the Title 19 requirements. In view of the absence of any
hardships imposed by the sites physical characteristics, it is concluded that the
applicants hardship is preferential in nature, and it is thereby outside the realm of NRS
Chapter 278 for granting of Variances.

FINDINGS (SDR-67921)
In order to approve a Site Development Plan Review application, per Title 19.16.100(E)
the Planning Commission and/or City Council must affirm the following:
1.

The proposed development is compatible with adjacent development and


development in the area;
The lack of adequate parking and parking lot landscaping, as well as the zero-foot
side yard setback, indicates that the site would be overbuilt and therefore not
designed compatibly with the surrounding area.

2.

The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan, this Title,
the Design Standards Manual, the Landscape, Wall and Buffer Standards,
and other duly-adopted city plans, policies and standards;
This project requires several deviations from Title 19, namely a parking variance,
a building setback variance, a waiver of perimeter landscape buffer standards,
and exceptions of parking lot and perimeter landscape standards.

3.

Site access and circulation do not negatively impact adjacent roadways or


neighborhood traffic;
Site access from Main Street and an unnamed street will not negatively affect
traffic in the area. Per Traffic Engineering, this project will add approximately 833
trips per day on Main Street, Washington Avenue and Bonanza Road. Main
Street is currently at about 30 percent of capacity, Washington Avenue is at about
46 percent of capacity and Bonanza Road is at about 47 percent of capacity.
After this project, Main Street is expected to be at about 32 percent of capacity,
Washington Avenue to be at about 48 percent of capacity and Bonanza Road to
be at about 49 percent of capacity. Based on Peak Hour use, this development
will add into the area roughly 114 additional cars, or about two every minute.

4.

Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the
City;
Building materials include painted patterned stucco, metal seamed roofing, metal
awnings and accents, and colored glazing. Landscape materials include 24-inch
box African Sumac and Shoestring Acacia trees and varied shrubs and
groundcover. These materials are appropriate for the desert climate and this area
of the city, which contains many industrial uses.

5.

Building elevations, design characteristics and other architectural and


aesthetic features are not unsightly, undesirable, or obnoxious in
appearance; create an orderly and aesthetically pleasing environment; and
are harmonious and compatible with development in the area;
The proposed building elevations are befitting of office and warehouse
developments. Varied rooflines, variation in building materials, and changes in
wall plane will provide visual interest.

6.

Appropriate measures are taken to secure and protect the public health,
safety and general welfare.

Staff Report Page Eight
January 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting

This development will be subject to permit review and inspection, thereby


protecting the health, safety and general welfare of the public.

FINDINGS (TMP-67922)
The proposed map meets all NRS and LVMC Title 19 requirements for tentative maps.
However, waivers and variances are required on the subject site, prompting staff to
recommend denial of the associated Site Development Plan Review. To be consistent
with the other recommendations, staff recommends denial of the proposed Tentative
Map.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Related Relevant City Actions by P&D, Fire, Bldg., etc.
The City Council approved a General Plan Amendment (GPA-2497) to
amend the City of Las Vegas Downtown Development Plan Map of the
Las Vegas Redevelopment Plan from Industrial to Commercial and
Mixed Use for properties bounded by Charleston Boulevard to the
10/01/03
north, 3rd Street to the east, Commerce Street to the west and
Colorado Street to the south. The Planning Commission and staff
recommended approval. The subject property was amended from
Industrial to Commercial as part of this action.
A Code Enforcement Case (162652) was processed for trash and
01/25/16
weeds at 719 North Main Street. The case was resolved 02/08/16.
An Encroachment Agreement (64598) was submitted for review by
Department of Building and Safety staff for sidewalk landscaping along
05/09/16
Main Street adjacent to this site with trees, grates and irrigation. The
agreement was prepared 08/04/16 but has not yet been recorded.

Related Building Permits/Business Licenses


A Civil Improvement Permit (66453) was issued for landscaping in the
08/25/16
sidewalk along Main Street.
A final inspection has not been
completed.

Pre-Application Meeting
A pre-application meeting was held with the applicant to discuss
submittal requirements and issues related to a proposal for an
office/warehouse building complex. It was determined that a General
09/12/16
Plan Amendment would be needed in order to allow the warehouse
use on the site. As a tentative map was not submitted at the time of
the meeting, another meeting was needed to review technical aspects
of the map.
In a follow-up meeting with the applicant, staff confirmed that a
General Plan Amendment, a parking Variance, a building setback
Variance, a Site Development Plan Review and a Tentative Map for a
11/21/16
one-lot commercial subdivision would be needed. The Department of
Public Works determined that Complete Streets Standards along Main
Street would be waived for this project.

Neighborhood Meeting
A neighborhood meeting was held on Wednesday, December 21,
2016 at 6:30 p.m. at the Las Vegas Library - Conference Room, 833
North Las Vegas Boulevard, Las Vegas, Nevada 89101. There were
six members of the public, three members of the development team
and one Department of Planning staff member in attendance.

12/21/16

A short presentation was given. The applicants representative


explained the reason for filing each application and displayed
renderings of the proposed building complex. The exact mix of office
and warehouse is not known at this time; therefore, the Variance
request represents the most intense use of the property, i.e., all office.
Neighbor concerns included the following:

How would deliveries occur and how large would the trucks be?
The proposed roll-up doors are 10x10, so the storage areas
are designed for small to mid-sized vehicles. There would be
two access points and no backing onto Main Street would
occur.

Neighborhood Meeting
Would the existing wrought iron fencing along the front remain?
No, most of the existing fencing would be removed. The
parking garage would be adequately secured.
When would construction begin? If approvals and permit
reviews go smoothly, the representative anticipated beginning
construction by March 2017.
One resident noted the area lacks adequate park space.
Those in attendance were generally in support of the proposed project,
commenting that it would be an attractive upgrade to the area.

Field Check

12/05/16

The site does not contain any buildings. Several equipment trucks and
supplies are stored on the property. An eight-foot wrought iron fence
encloses portions of the front, sides and rear, with chain link fencing
providing additional screening. The buffer area adjacent to the
wrought iron fence along Main Street is landscaped, and streetscape
trees are provided within the sidewalk.

** STAFF REPORT **

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting a General Plan Amendment from PR-OS
(Parks/Recreation/Open Space) to L (Low Density Residential) for a large lot currently
designated as a golf course.

ANALYSIS
The subject lot is a golf course that is located within a planned community that is zoned
R-PD7 (Residential Planned Development 7 Units Per Acre). The proposed General
Plan Designation of L (Low Density Residential) allows density up to 5.49 units per acre,
which is consistent with the density permitted by the zoning. However, no Site
Development Plan Review or Tentative Map has been submitted with the request to
depict how and where the residential density would be dispersed across the overall site.
The applicant has requested an abeyance of the General Plan Amendment so that a
Site Development Plan Review and other related applications may be submitted to run
concurrently with it. As a result, staff supports the request for abeyance to allow a more
in-depth review and analysis of the proposed development of the property, and has no
recommendation regarding the requested General Plan Amendment at this time.

FINDINGS (GPA-68385)
Section 19.16.030(I) of the Las Vegas Zoning Code requires that the following
conditions be met in order to justify a General Plan Amendment:
1.

The density and intensity of the proposed General Plan Amendment is


compatible with the existing adjacent land use designations,
The density of the proposed General Plan Amendment is compatible with the
existing adjacent land uses; however, as a Residential Planned Development,
density may be concentrated in some areas while other areas remain less dense.
Staff supports the requested abeyance to allow a complete review and analysis of
the proposed Site Development Plan Review in conjunction with the General Plan
Amendment to ensure compatibility.

SG

GPA-68385 [PRJ-67184]
Staff Report Page Two
January 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting

2.

The zoning designations allowed by the proposed amendment will be


compatible with the existing adjacent land uses or zoning districts,
The overall residential development, including the proposed site and surrounding
adjacent residential development, is zoned R-PD7 (Residential Planned
Development 7 Units per Acre), which is allowed by the proposed
amendment.

3.

There are adequate transportation, recreation, utility, and other facilities to


accommodate the uses and densities permitted by the proposed General
Plan Amendment; and
Staff supports the requested abeyance to allow a complete review and analysis of
the proposed Site Development Plan Review in conjunction with the General Plan
Amendment to ensure compatibility.

4.

The proposed amendment conforms to other applicable adopted plans and


policies that include approved neighborhood plans.
Staff supports the requested abeyance to allow a complete review and analysis of
the proposed Site Development Plan Review in conjunction with the General Plan
Amendment to ensure compatibility.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request to rezone four adjacent lots located at 2353, 2363, 2383, and 2393
Potosi Street from P-R (Professional Office and Parking) to C-1 (Limited Commercial).
In addition, the applicant is requesting a Special Use Permit for an Auto Dealer
Inventory Storage, and a Site Development Plan Review to convert the subject sites into
an Auto Dealer Inventory Storage lot.

ISSUES

In order to accommodate the proposed land use (Auto Dealer Inventory Storage),
the subject sites need to be rezoned from P-R (Professional Office and Parking) to
C-1 (Limited Commercial). Staff is recommending denial of this request.
In the proposed C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district, the Auto Dealer Inventory
Storage land use requires a Special Use Permit. Staff is recommending denial of this
request.
A Site Development Plan Review is required to convert the existing parking lot into
an Auto Dealer Inventory Storage lot.
A Waiver is required to allow a seven-foot landscape buffer along the north
perimeter and a six-foot landscape buffer along the south perimeter where 15 feet is
required; and to allow a 14-foot landscape buffer along the east perimeter and a
nine-foot landscape buffer along the west perimeter where 15 feet is required. Staff
does not support this request.
A Waiver is required to allow the proposed land use to be located on a 60-foot Local
street with no access to a Primary or Secondary thoroughfare.
An Exception is required to allow seven trees in the landscape islands where 22 are
required.

ANALYSIS
The subject site was originally approved and developed in 2000 for overflow parking for a
Health Club located to the east of the subject site. This application seeks to convert this
existing parking lot into an Auto Dealer Inventory Storage lot.
The site is currently developed as a parking lot, but does not meet the minimum
development standards for the landscape buffer widths, landscape island trees and
shrubs, and landscape buffer trees and shrubs as defined by Title 19.08.

January 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting

The applicant has requested a Waiver to allow a seven-foot landscape buffer along the
north perimeter and a six-foot landscape buffer along the south perimeter where 15 feet
is required; and to allow a 14-foot landscape buffer along the east perimeter and a ninefoot landscape buffer along the west perimeter where 15 feet is required. Staff does not
support this request as landscape buffers play a crucial role in buffering the proposed
land use from the neighboring properties and right-of-way. In addition, the existing
landscape buffers do not meet Title 19.08 minimum standards for landscape materials,
which requires one 24-inch box tree every 20 linear feet with four, five-gallon shrubs for
each tree. If approved, staff has added a condition of approval requiring this minimum
standard to be met.
Within the subject site are nine parking lot islands. Title 19.08 requires each island to
contain two, 24-inch box trees with four, five-gallon shrubs for each tree (eight total),
with one, 24-inch box tree with four five-gallon shrubs to be located at the end of each
row of parking. An exception has been requested to allow the existing parking lot
landscaping to remain as is with seven trees where 22 are required, and 37 shrubs
where 88 are required. Staff does not support this request.
Along the south, west, and north perimeters of the subject site exists a solid block wall,
satisfying the screening requirement set forth by Title 19.12, Requirement Number Four
which states, Stored vehicles shall be effectively screened so as not to be visible from
adjoining properties or public rights-of-way. The east perimeter adjacent to Potosi
Street is the front of the subject site, which is prohibited by Title 19.08 from installing a
solid block wall any taller than two feet (the maximum height allowed is five feet, with
the upper three feet allowed to be 50 percent open usually achieved through wrought
iron). The subject site currently has a five-foot ornamental iron fence along the east
perimeter with two sliding gates at the ingress/egress points adjacent to Potosi Street as
permitted by Title 19.08. To further aid in the screening of the Auto Dealer Inventory
Storage lot if approved, staff has added a condition of approval requiring the applicant
to install trees and shrubs in accordance with Title 19.08 for Landscape Buffer
requirements to add additional screening and provide shade to pedestrian traffic along
Potosi Street.
During a routine field check performed by staff on December 5, 2016, staff observed the
subject site already in use as an Auto Dealer Inventory Storage lot. The parking lot was
full with what appeared to be new and used motor vehicles. Vehicles were also parked
along the edges of the parking lot, blocking the drive isles. The violations were reported
to Code Enforcement for further action.
The Auto Dealer Inventory Storage use is defined as The parking or storage, other than
for purposes of display, of new motor vehicles which constitute inventory of a new motor
vehicle sales dealership, where such parking or storage is maintained by the dealership
either on the same parcel as the dealership or on a separate parcel.

The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include:
1. Requirement 1: All loading and unloading of vehicles shall occur on site.
The proposed use meets this requirement as the applicant has indicted in their
justification letter that the motor vehicles will not be loaded and/or unloaded on
site. Instead, the motor vehicles will be driven between the dealership and the
storage lot. In addition, a condition of approval has been added prohibiting the
loading and unloading of motor vehicle in the public right-of-way.
2. Requirement 2: Loading and unloading of vehicles shall occur between the hours
of 7:00 am and 10:00 pm.
This is a condition of the Special Use Permit application that is not Waivable. The
applicant will be required to load and unload, or in this instance, drive the
vehicles back and forth between the subject site and the dealership between the
hours of 7:00 am and 10:00 pm only.
3. Requirement 3: All areas used for the parking or storage of vehicles shall be
paved.
The proposed use meets this requirement as the subject site is currently paved.
4. Requirement 4: Stored vehicles shall be effectively screened so as not to be
visible from adjoining properties or public rights-of-way.
The subject site is currently screened with a solid 6-foot block wall along the
north, west, and east property lines. As permitted by Title 19.08, the front of the
subject site has a 5-foot tall wrought iron fence along the east property line
adjacent to Potosi Street. In addition, a condition of approval has been added for
the landscaping to be brought into compliance with Title 19.08 minimum
requirements for landscape buffers to further screen the Auto Dealer Inventory
Storage.
5. Requirement 5: The parcel must be located on a primary or secondary
thoroughfare, or on a parcel that is adjacent to and accessed through a parcel
located on a primary or secondary thoroughfare.
The subject site is located on a 60-foot Local Street as defined by Title 13 and
does not have direct access to a primary or secondary thoroughfare. The
applicant has requested a Waiver of this requirement and has agreed to the
condition of approval prohibiting the loading and unloading of motor vehicles in
the public right-of-way. As indicated in the justification letter, the vehicles will be
driven back and forth between the storage lot and the dealership.

6. Requirement 6: Lighting shall be shielded from adjacent properties.


The subject site currently contains shoebox style lighting located within the
parking lot landscape islands. A condition of approval has been added to ensure
compliance with Title 19.08 for lighting.
7. Requirement 7: The use shall not occupy or interfere with any parking spaces
that are required for the dealership use or any other existing or proposed use for
which required parking is or will be provided on the site. For commercial or
industrial sites 15 acres or greater in size, the use may occupy up to 50 percent
of the parking area that is provided in excess of the parking that is required by
this Section for other uses.
The subject site does not currently provide required parking for an existing land
use, the subject parking lot will be for auto dealer inventory storage only.

FINDINGS (ZON-67798)
In order to approve a Rezoning application, pursuant to Title 19.16.090(L), the Planning
Commission or City Council must affirm the following:
1.

The proposal conforms to the General Plan.


The subject site has a current General Plan designation of MXU (Mixed Use),
which supports the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district.

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.
Uses permitted in the proposed C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district include
Banquet Facilities, Clinics, General Retail Stores, Health Clubs, Self-Service
Laundry facilities, Trade Schools. Restaurants, Wedding Chapels, General
Personal Service (E.g. Hair Salons, Dry Cleaners, Tanning Salon) and Rental
Stores. These land uses typically have more traffic and hours of operation that
include evenings and weekends unlike the current zoning district, P-R
(Professional Office and Parking) which only permits land uses such as Office,
Other Than Listed; and Office, Medical or Dental. With existing single family
residential homes located directly northwest and northeast of the subject site,
these uses are not compatible with the existing surrounding land uses.

ZON-67798, SUP-67799 and SDR-67795 [PRJ-67396]


Staff Report Page Five
January 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting

3.

Growth and development factors in the community indicate the need for or
appropriateness of the rezoning.
This is an established area that has not experienced new construction or
residential growth. Rezoning the subject site to accommodate an Auto Dealer
Inventory Storage lot does not fulfill a need indicated by the surrounding
community as a whole.

4.

Street or highway facilities providing access to the property are or will be


adequate in size to meet the requirements of the proposed zoning district.
Potosi Street is a 60-foot Local Street defined by Title 13 as a street designed to
carry a combination of light commercial and residential traffic and is not designed
to handle heavier traffic created by the land uses permitted in the C-1 (Limited
Commercial) zoning district.

FINDINGS (SUP-67779)
In order to approve a Special Use Permit application, per Title 19.16.110(L) the Planning
Commission and City Council must affirm the following:
1.

The proposed land use can be conducted in a manner that is harmonious


and compatible with existing surrounding land uses, and with future
surrounding land uses as projected by the General Plan.
The proposed land use will create an increase in vehicular traffic on Potosi Street
which was not designed to accommodate heavy commercial traffic. In addition,
there are existing single family residential homes directly northwest and northeast
of the subject site with only 60-foot rights-of way separating the uses. Mohawk
Street separates the single family residential homes to the northwest, with Potosi
Street separating the single family residential homes to the northeast.

2.

The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use
proposed.
The subject site is not physically suited to accommodate the loading and
unloading of motor vehicles from a tractor-trailer auto transporter within the
subject site, requiring the need for the vehicles to be loaded and unloaded at the
dealership and driven back and forth between the subject site and the dealership.

3.

Street or highway facilities providing access to the property are or will be


adequate in size to meet the requirements of the proposed use.

Staff Report Page Six
January 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting

The subject site is accessed by a 60-foot Local street as defined by Title 13. Local
streets are designed to carry a combination of light commercial and residential
traffic between minor collectors, major collectors and primary arterial, not tractor
trailer auto transporters capable of carrying 12 motor vehicles. Loading and
unloading is prohibited within the public right-of-way, and the subject site is not
large enough to accommodate the loading and unloading of motor vehicles from a
tractor trailer auto transporter.
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 minimum requirements set forth by Title 19.12 are in place to ensure the
overall objectives of the General Plan are met. Waiving condition number five that
requires the proposed land use to be located on a primary or secondary
thoroughfare, and allowing for the motor vehicles to be driven back and forth
between the dealership itself, and the subject site does not support the overall
goal of the General Plan to alieve traffic congestion for the city.

5.

The use meets all of the applicable conditions per Title 19.12.
The subject site is not physically suited to accommodate the loading and
unloading of motor vehicles on-site as condition number one requires, which
states, All loading and unloading of vehicles shall occur on site. The subject site
is not able to accommodate tractor trailer auto transporters, and must have the
motor vehicles loaded and unloaded at the dealership and then driven back and
forth between the dealership and the subject site if approved.
Additionally, the subject site is not able to satisfy condition number five which
states, The parcel must be located on a primary or secondary thoroughfare, or on
a parcel that is adjacent to and accessed through a parcel located on a primary or
secondary thoroughfare. The subject site is located on a 60-foot Local Street
(Potosi Street), nor does the subject site have access to a primary or secondary
thoroughfare through another parcel. The applicant has requested a Waiver of this
condition.

FINDINGS (SDR-67795)
In order to approve a Site Development Plan Review application, per Title 19.16.100(E)
the Planning Commission and/or City Council must affirm the following:

NE

ZON-67798, SUP-67799 and SDR-67795 [PRJ-67396]


Staff Report Page Seven
January 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting

1.

The proposed development is compatible with adjacent development and


development in the area;
Adjacent to the subject site along the north perimeter is a Social Service Provider
(Ronald McDonald House) on property zoned R-E (Residence Estates), with
single family residences also located northwest and northeast of the subject site.
An Auto Dealer Inventory Storage lot is not compatible with adjacent development
or 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 development does not meet current Landscape buffer widths, and
landscaping requirements for both the parking lot and landscape buffers as
defined by Title 19.08. The subject site is currently zoned P-R (Professional Office
and Parking) in order to provide an appropriate buffer to the residential land uses
to the north of the subject site and is not consistent the Citys policies and
standards.

3.

Site access and circulation do not negatively impact adjacent roadways or


neighborhood traffic;
Site access to the subject site is solely available from Potosi Street, a 60-foot
Local Street not designed to accommodate heavy commercial traffic. The subject
site itself is not able to accommodate tractor trailer auto transporters that are
commonly used when loading and unloading motor vehicles at new and/or used
motor vehicle dealerships. Instead, the loading and unloading of vehicles will have
to take place at the dealership site, with the vehicles then being driven back and
forth to the subject site. This will increase neighborhood traffic and negatively
impact adjacent roadways.

4.

Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the
City;
No building has been proposed as part of these applications as this is an existing
Parking Facility. The Landscape materials are also in existence, but do not meet
the minimum requirements set forth by Title 19.08. A condition of approval has
been added to ensure compliance in regards to the Landscape Buffer areas, and
the applicant has requested an Exception of the parking lot landscape
requirements.

5.

Building elevations, design characteristics and other architectural and


aesthetic features are not unsightly, undesirable, or obnoxious in
appearance; create an orderly and aesthetically pleasing environment; and
are harmonious and compatible with development in the area;
Since no building is proposed for the subject site at this time, if approved, staff has
imposed conditions of approval to require the site to meet the minimum required
landscaping for the landscape buffers to create a more orderly and aesthetically
pleasing environment by enhancing the existing screening of the proposed Auto
Dealer Inventory Storage lot. The applicant has requested an Exception for the
landscape islands located within the subject site.

6.

Appropriate measures are taken to secure and protect the public health,
safety and general welfare.
If approved, the subject site and land use will be subject to the conditions of
approval listed herein, and all applicable City codes to ensure public health,
safety, and general welfare.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending denial of the Rezoning application, the Special Use Permit, and the
Site Development Plan Review as the proposed land use is not compatible with existing
residential zoning districts and land uses to the north, northwest, and northeast; nor can
the proposed land use operate in a manner that is harmonious or compatible with the
existing surrounding land uses.

January 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting a Variance to allow an existing carport within the required
front yard setback on a property located at 4000 Red Pony Court.

ISSUES

The Variance request is to allow the existing carport 11 feet from the front property
line where 18 feet is the minimum required in the R-CL (Single-Family Compact-Lot)
zoning district. Staff recommends denial of the request.
This Variance application is a result of an open Code Enforcement action.

ANALYSIS
The subject property is located in the R-CL (Single-Family Compact-Lot) zoning district
and is subject to the requirements of Title 19.06 standards. The minimum front yard
setback requirement in the R-CL district is either 14 feet to the house or 18 feet to the
front entry garage. The dwelling has a front entry garage design. Pursuant to Title
19.06, the eves may be within three feet of the rear and side property lines. Since the
carport is located in the front yard, it must meet the applicable front yard setback. The
existing carport is attached to the existing dwelling and is located over the driveway
which results in a front yard setback of 11 feet from the front property line.
The applicant is requesting a Variance to allow the existing carport to remain in its
current location. There are no unique circumstances with this Variance request and
staff recommends denial. If approved it is subject to conditions.

FINDINGS (VAR-67606)
In accordance with the provisions of Title 19.16.140(B), Planning Commission and City
Council, in considering the merits of a Variance request, shall not grant a Variance in
order to:
1.
2.
3.

Permit a use in a zoning district in which the use is not allowed;


Vary any minimum spacing requirement between uses;
Relieve a hardship which is solely personal, self-created or financial in nature.

RG

VAR-67606 [PRJ-65724]
Staff Report Page Two
January 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting

Additionally, Title 19.16.140(L) states:


Where by reason of exceptional narrowness, shallowness, or shape of a specific
piece of property at the time of enactment of the regulation, or by reason of
exceptional topographic conditions or other extraordinary and exceptional
situation or condition of the piece of property, the strict application of any zoning
regulation would result in peculiar and exceptional practical difficulties to, or
exceptional and undue hardships upon, the owner of the property, a variance
from that strict application may be granted so as to relieve the difficulties or
hardship, if the relief may be granted without substantial detriment to the public
good, without substantial impairment of affected natural resources and without
substantially impairing the intent and purpose of any ordinance or resolution.
No evidence of a unique or extraordinary circumstance has been presented in that the
applicant has created a self-imposed hardship by constructing a carport within the front
yard setback. An alternative to this Variance application is to reduce the size of the
existing carport to allow conformance with Title 19 requirements or to remove it entirely.
In view of the absence of any hardships imposed by the sites physical characteristics, it
is concluded that the applicants hardship is preferential in nature, and it is thereby
outside the realm of NRS Chapter 278 for granting of Variances.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Related Relevant City Actions by P&D, Fire, Bldg., etc.

** STAFF REPORT **

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting to keep an existing carport located in the required front yard
setback area. The carport is also located in front of and too close to the principal
dwelling located at 2725 Merritt Avenue.

ISSUES

The R-1 (Single Family Residential) zoning district requires detached accessory
structures to have a side yard setback of three feet and a minimum distance
separation of six feet from the principal dwelling. Accessory structures are not
allowed in the front yard; however the applicant is requesting a Variance to keep an
existing Accessory Structure (Class II) [carport] with a front yard setback of four feet,
a side yard setback of zero feet and a three-foot distance separation from the
principal dwelling.
Per Title 19.06.040, accessory structures are not permitted in front of the primary
structure. The applicant is proposing to keep an existing accessory structure (class
II) [carport] in front of the principal dwelling. Staff recommends denial of the request.

ANALYSIS
The subject Accessory Structure (Class II) [carport] is located within the front-yard
setback of the subject property. There are no building permits on file for the structure.
According to the Clark County GIS (Geographic Information System) Aerial Map, the
carport is estimated to have been constructed in the fall of 2006. The City of Las Vegas
Code Enforcement Department opened Case #170287 on 09/01/16 for the subject
carport. The applicant proposes to keep the carport in its current location with a fourfoot front-yard setback, zero-foot side-yard setback and a three-foot distance separation
from the principal dwelling. Per Title 19.06.040, accessory structures are not allowed in
the front setback. This code section also requires accessory structures to be
aesthetically compatible with the principal dwelling. The subject carport fails to meet
this requirement, as it is made of metal material and the home is made of white siding.
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 the existing accessory
structure as currently positioned.

meet Title 19 requirements. In view of the absence of any hardships imposed by the
sites physical characteristics, it is concluded that the applicants hardship is preferential
in nature, and it is thereby outside the realm of NRS Chapter 278 for granting of
Variances.

** STAFF REPORT **

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a 1,337 square-foot Massage Establishment to be located within an
existing shopping center at 5803 West Craig Road, Suite #101.

ISSUES

Per Title 19.12, a Massage Establishment use is permissible in the C-1 (Limited
Commercial) zoning district with approval of a Special Use Permit.
A Waiver is required to allow a distance separation of zero feet from a residential
use where 400 feet is the minimum distance required. Staff recommends denial of
the request.

ANALYSIS
The subject tenant space is located within an existing 79,150 square-foot shopping
center. The Massage Establishment use is defined by Title 19.12 as: A facility which is
occupied and used for the purpose of practicing massage therapy as defined in LVMC
Chapter 6.52. This use does not include the use accessory massage, as defined in
this Title.
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include:
1. The use shall comply with all applicable requirements of LVMC Title 6.
The proposed use meets this requirement, as a condition of approval has been
added requiring compliance with all applicable LVMC Title 6 requirements.
2. The use must be located on a secondary thoroughfare or larger.
The proposed use meets this requirement, as the subject site is located along
Craig Road, a 120-foot Primary Arterial and Jones Boulevard, a 100-foot wide
Primary Arterial as indicated on the Master Plan of Streets and Highways.
3. The use may not be located within 400 feet of any church/house of worship,
school, City park, individual care center licensed for more than 12 children, or
any parcel zoned for residential use.
CS

SUP-67830 [PRJ-67401]
Staff Report Page Two
January 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting

The proposed use does not meet this requirement, as there is a residentially
zoned property within 400 feet of the subject site to the east. The applicant is
requesting a Waiver to address the issue. Specifically, the applicant is requesting
a Waiver to allow a distance separation of zero feet from a residential use where
400 feet is the minimum distance required.
4. The use may not be located within 1,000 feet of any other massage
establishment.
The proposed use meets this requirement, as there are no other massage
establishments located within 1,000 feet of the subject property.
5. The hours of operation shall be limited to the period between 6:00 a.m. and
10:00 p.m., unless further limited by the City Council on a case-by-case basis.
The proposed use meets this requirement, as the applicant indicated in the Preapplication meeting that the hours of operation would adhere to Title 19
requirements.
The proposed use would be located within an existing shopping center with other uses
such as retail, restaurants, general office uses and an indoor childrens amusement
facility. Other than the minimum use requirements in Title 19.12, there are no special
development requirements pertaining to this site. While there are other Massage
Accessory uses within the commercial development, the subject location is not suitable
for a full-scale Massage Establishment due to the presence of a childrens indoor
amusement facility located within the shopping center and the proximity of the
residentially zoned property to the east; therefore, staff recommends denial of the
request.

FINDINGS (SUP-67830)
In order to approve a Special Use Permit application, per Title 19.16.110(L) the Planning
Commission and City Council must affirm the following:
1.

The proposed land use can be conducted in a manner that is harmonious


and compatible with existing surrounding land uses, and with future
surrounding land uses as projected by the General Plan.
The applicant has proposed to establish a Massage Establishment use within an
existing shopping center. The proximity to an indoor childrens amusement facility
and the adjacent residentially zoned properties prevent the proposed use from
being able to operate in a compatible and harmonious manner.

CS

SUP-67830 [PRJ-67401]
Staff Report Page Three
January 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting

2.

The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use
proposed.
The site contains an existing 79,150 square-foot shopping center with other retail
and general office uses. This site contains adequate parking for all uses, and the
proposed use does not generate the need for any additional parking spaces.

3.

Street or highway facilities providing access to the property are or will be


adequate in size to meet the requirements of the proposed use.
Site access is provided from Craig Road, a 120-foot Primary Arterial, and Jones
Boulevard, a 100-foot Primary Arterial. These streets are of sufficient size to
accommodate the needs of the proposed Massage Establishment use.

4.

Approval of the Special Use Permit at the site in question will not be
inconsistent with or compromise the public health, safety, and welfare or
the overall objectives of the General Plan.
The proposed Massage Establishment 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 Massage Establishment does not adhere to minimum distance
separation requirements. The applicant is requesting a waiver of minimum
distance separation requirements from an existing residentially zoned property. As
a result, the use cannot operate harmoniously with the residential land uses
adjacent to the subject site.

** STAFF REPORT **

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a Special Use Permit for a proposed Short-Term Residential Rental
use at 549 East St. Louis Avenue.

ISSUES

A Short-Term Residential Rental use is permitted in the R-1 (Single Family


Residential) zoning district as a Conditional Use pursuant to Title 19.12.
A Special Use Permit is needed with a Waiver to allow a zero-foot distance
separation from similar use. Staff recommends denial of this request.

ANALYSIS
The subject property contains a single-family dwelling and is located within the Beverly
Green/Southridge Neighborhood Plan Area. The proposed Short-Term Residential
Rental use will not affect that plan. The applicant is requesting to allow a zero-foot
distance separation from similar use, where 660 feet is the minimum required pursuant
to Title 19.12.
A Short-Term Residential Rental use is permitted in the R-1 (Single Family Residential)
zoning district as a Conditional Use. However, since the proposed use does not meet
the Conditional Use Regulations, a Special Use Permit is required. As such, the
following analysis is required:
The Short-Term Residential Rental use is defined as The commercial use, or the
making available for commercial use, of a residential dwelling unit for dwelling, lodging
or sleeping purposes, wherein any individual guest rents or occupies the unit for a
period of less than 31 consecutive calendar days. This use does not include a
Community Residence, Facility for Transitional Living for Released Offenders, or any
other facility with dwelling units that is specifically defined in Chapter 19.18. The
proposed use meets the definition as the applicant stated in the justification letter date
stamped 11/23/16, that the subject property will be used as a vacation rental.

RG

SUP-67911 [PRJ-67840]
Staff Report Page Two
January 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting

The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include:
1. The operator must obtain a business license to operate the use.
If this Special Use Permit is approved, the applicant will be required to obtain a
business license
2. The use must comply on an ongoing basis with all governmental licensing and
regulatory requirements, including the payment of applicable room taxes and
licensing fees.
If a business license is issued for the Short-Term Residential Rental, it will be
subject to license renewal and annual compliance reviews to ensure that all
regulatory requirements are being met.
3. The use must comply with the Citys noise regulations as they apply to residential
uses.
If this use violates the Citys noise regulations, neighbors or members of the
public can file a complaint to the Code Enforcement Division, which would result
in enforcement action.
4. Vehicle parking associated with the use shall comply with applicable parking
regulations, and vehicles of guests and invitees shall not obstruct traffic or
access to other properties in the area.
If the parking regulations are violated or, if traffic is obstructed to other properties,
the public can either call the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department or the
Business License Division for non-compliance of business license requirements.
5. In addition to and independent of any enforcement authority or remedy described
in this Title, the failure to comply with a Minimum Special Use Permit
Requirement or other condition of approval associated with this use may be
enforced as in the case of a violation of Title 6 by means of a civil proceeding
pursuant to LVMC 6.02.400 to 6.02.460, inclusive.
This application, if approved, will be subject to annual review for compliance of
the Special Use Permit by the Department of Planning.
6. The use may not be located closer than 660 feet to any other Short-Term
Residential Rental use (measured from property line to property line).

RG

SUP-67911 [PRJ-67840]
Staff Report Page Three
January 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting

The subject property is located next to a property that has a current business
license for a Short-Term Residential Rental. This Special Use Permit application
is accompanied with the request for a waiver of the distance separation.
7. The maximum occupancy of the residential dwelling unit shall not exceed the
limits provided for in LVMC 6.75.090.
Business License will conduct compliance inspections once the business license
is approved for compliance review.
The proposed land use cannot be conducted in a manner that is harmonious and
compatible with the existing surrounding land uses due to the waiver request to allow a
zero-foot distance separation where 660 feet is required, which results in an over
saturation of the use within the residential neighborhood. Therefore, staff recommends
denial and if this application is approved, it is subject to conditions.

FINDINGS (SUP-67911)
In order to approve a Special Use Permit application, per Title 19.16.110(L) the Planning
Commission and City Council must affirm the following:
1.

The proposed land use can be conducted in a manner that is harmonious


and compatible with existing surrounding land uses, and with future
surrounding land uses as projected by the General Plan.
The proposed land use cannot be conducted in a manner that is harmonious and
compatible with the existing surrounding land uses due to the waiver request to
allow a zero-foot distance separation where 660 feet is required.

2.

The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use
proposed.
The proposed Short-Term Residential Rental use is suitable, but the requested
waiver results in use saturation. There are three similar uses within 660 feet of
the subject property.

3.

Street or highway facilities providing access to the property are or will be


adequate in size to meet the requirements of the proposed use.
The facility can be accessed from St. Louis Avenue, an 80-foot major collector
that is adequate in size to accommodate the proposed Short-Term Residential
Rental use.

SUP-67911 [PRJ-67840]

January 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting

4.

Approval of the Special Use Permit at the site in question will not be
inconsistent with or compromise the public health, safety, and welfare or
the overall objectives of the General Plan.
The proposed use will be subject to conditions of approval and business license
approval and compliance. The Department of Fire and Rescue must inspect and
approve the occupancy of an establishment before it may be used as a short-term
residential rental.

5.

The use meets all of the applicable conditions per Title 19.12.
The proposed use does not meet all of the applicable conditions of Title 19.12.
The use may not be closer than 660 feet from any other Short-Term Residential
Rental uses. The applicant is requesting a waiver to allow a zero-foot distance
separation.

** STAFF REPORT **

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting to add a new 8,660 square-foot in-line retail building on a
parcel that contains an existing 9,471 square-foot building. A portion of the existing
building would be demolished to provide space for this new building, for a total
combined floor area of 14,177 square feet.

ISSUES

The existing building contains a nonconforming Sexually Oriented Business that


cannot be altered, expanded or enlarged under the current Unified Development
Code. The portion of the building containing this use will remain unchanged by the
proposal.
A Waiver of the Downtown Centennial Plan is required to allow a five-foot sidewalk
along Park Paseo with no amenity zone or additional streetscape materials where a
10-foot sidewalk and five-foot amenity zone with 36-inch box shade trees is required.
Staff recommends denial of the Waiver.
A Waiver of the Downtown Centennial Plan is required to allow the proposed
building to be set back from the property line along Las Vegas Boulevard where 70
percent of the front faade is required to be located along the property line. Staff
recommends approval of the Waiver.
If approved, 10 feet along Las Vegas Boulevard shall be dedicated for public rightof-way and a 25-foot radius shall be dedicated at the northeast corner of Las Vegas
Boulevard and Park Paseo prior to the issuance of any permits.

ANALYSIS
All development is subject to the standards of LVMC Title 19 and the Downtown
Centennial Plan (Downtown South District Standards). Downtown Design Review
Committee review is required for all newly proposed signage on this site, unless such
signage meets Title 19.08 and Las Vegas Boulevard Scenic Byway (75% neon
illumination) standards, in which case it can be reviewed administratively, separately
from other entitlements. A condition of approval addresses this requirement.
Access from Las Vegas Boulevard is proposed to be moved from the north side of the
site to a central location. The existing eastern driveway from Park Paseo would remain,
while the western driveway would be removed. The eastern driveway provides for left
SS

SDR-67942 [PRJ-67640]
Staff Report Page Two
January 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting

turns both in and out of the site. Circulation is logical; however, with the western
driveway removal on Park Paseo, access to the existing parking will be impeded by
proposed curbing. Overhead power lines crossing the site at a diagonal would be
buried if approved. The proposed trash enclosure would be screened by interior
landscaping.
The current retail building on the site requires 55 parking spaces under current Unified
Development Code requirements. Presently, 15 spaces are being provided in the rear
of the existing building. The proposed retail building would require 50 new parking
spaces and the proposed truncated existing building would require 32 spaces for a total
of 82 spaces under the UDC. Although projects located within the Las Vegas
Downtown Centennial Plan area are not subject to the automatic application of parking
requirements, the 45 proposed spaces would represent a 45 percent deviation if the
UDC requirements were applied, which indicates that not enough parking is provided or
the site is being overbuilt. The applicant states that these spaces will be sufficient, as
the project will be located along a major thoroughfare with adequate public transit and
high pedestrian traffic. However, parking requirements would increase if more intense
uses such as restaurants are introduced in the future.
The existing building contains a nonconforming adult emporium (bookstore) that cannot
be increased, enlarged, extended or altered without losing its nonconforming status.
The portion of the building where this use is located would remain in its current location
as part of this development.
The existing building is set back approximately 10 feet from the west property line. The
proposed building would match this setback, requiring a waiver from the 70 percent
build-to line requirement of the Downtown Centennial Plan. In addition, if approved, the
Department of Public Works will require the dedication of 10 feet for the Las Vegas
Boulevard right-of-way. Staff recommends approval of this request, as it is appropriate
to keep the proposed building in line with the existing building as well as to allow space
to provide the required streetscape along Las Vegas Boulevard. An encroachment
agreement and permit would be needed as appropriate for any improvements within the
public right-of-way.
There is currently only a curb and sidewalk adjacent to the existing building. New
Downtown Centennial Plan streetscaping is required adjacent to the new building and
along Park Paseo not adjacent to the existing building. The applicant proposes to close
off one of the existing curb cuts along Park Paseo in anticipation of a future pad site on
and adjacent to the site of the existing building. However, plans for the precise location
of the pad site are not known at this time and the site plan only reflects the existing
parking behind the building. The applicant states this as the reason for requesting a
waiver of the sidewalk and amenity zone along Park Paseo. Staff recommends denial
of the waiver, as the required streetscape could be installed with or without an additional

SS

SDR-67942 [PRJ-67640]
Staff Report Page Three
January 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting

pad on the property. A wide landscape buffer with 36-inch box Chilean Mesquite trees
would be provided at the rear of the property.
The proposed building would be a 28-foot tall single story in-line retail structure facing
the interior of the property. The front faade of this building features a canopy and
varied rooflines with neon outline for visual interest. A reveal with metallic inlay is a
feature that is carried around all sides of the building, although the north elevation will
only be partially visible from Las Vegas Boulevard.
The lack of adequate parking and required Downtown Centennial Plan streetscape
combined with compromised access to the existing parking spaces and a driveway
design along Park Paseo that encourages turns into the adjacent residential
neighborhood contribute to a recommendation for denial. If denied, the proposed 8,660
square-foot building could not be constructed, although any portion of the existing
building not containing the Sexually Oriented Business could be removed.

FINDINGS (SDR-67942)
In order to approve a Site Development Plan Review application, per Title 19.16.100(E)
the Planning Commission and/or City Council must affirm the following:
1.

The proposed development is compatible with adjacent development and


development in the area;
The proposed retail development would be located within an established
commercial area away from residential dwellings. Although located within the
Downtown Centennial Plan Overlay District, the lack of adequate parking and
streetscaping combined with a driveway design that encourages neighborhood
traffic make this project incompatible with this area of the city.

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 requires waivers of Downtown Centennial Plan
streetscape and setback requirements.

3.

Site access and circulation do not negatively impact adjacent roadways or


neighborhood traffic;

SS

SDR-67942 [PRJ-67640]
Staff Report Page Four
January 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting

Access from Las Vegas Boulevard is proposed to be moved from the north side of
the site to a central location. The existing eastern driveway from Park Paseo
would remain, while the western driveway would be removed. Circulation is
logical; however, with the driveway removal on Park Paseo, access to the existing
parking will be impeded by proposed curbing.
According to the Department of Public Works, this project will add approximately
370 trips per day on Las Vegas Boulevard and Park Paseo. Las Vegas Boulevard
is currently at about 79 percent of capacity and Park Paseo is at about 12 percent
of capacity. After this project, Las Vegas Boulevard is expected to be at about 81
percent of capacity and Park Paseo to be at about 32 percent of capacity. Based
on Peak Hour use, this development will add into the area roughly 32 additional
cars, or about one every two minutes.
4.

Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the
City;
Building materials are appropriate for the Downtown area. Landscape materials
where provided are not in conformance with Downtown Centennial Plan
requirements, and a condition of approval addresses this.

5.

Building elevations, design characteristics and other architectural and


aesthetic features are not unsightly, undesirable, or obnoxious in
appearance; create an orderly and aesthetically pleasing environment; and
are harmonious and compatible with development in the area;
The building elevations and aesthetic features are designed to a pedestrian scale,
will create a pleasing environment and will be compatible with other commercial
development in the area.

6.

Appropriate measures are taken to secure and protect the public health,
safety and general welfare.
The proposed development will be subject to permit review and inspection,
thereby protecting the public health, safety and general welfare.

PURPOSE/BACKGROUND:
At its May 24, 2016 Planning Commission Workshop, staff was directed to review regulations in
areas of Las Vegas with non-urban character. Title 19.04 of the Unified Development Code sets
forth requirements and standards for a variety of urban street types (complete street standards) to
provide a safe and accessible environment for a variety of transportation modes and users. Since
the adoption of the Code in 2011, staff typically recommends denial of planning applications
occurring in non-urban areas that do not meet complete street standards. Staff will present its
findings and recommendations for non-urban street standards for different street types and other
associated code revisions.

** STAFF REPORT **

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This item is for discussion and possible action on a request to update the Downtown
Centennial Plan to replace the current permitted use table for the 18b The Las Vegas
Arts District with a reference to the permitted uses tables in LVMC Title 19 and provide
for other related matters.

ISSUES

The 18b The Las Vegas Arts District is the only District covered by the Downtown
Centennial Plan that has standard zoning as provided for in Chapters 19.06 and
19.08 of LVMC Title 19 that has a distinct use table.

ANALYSIS
The stated goal for the 18b The Las Vegas Arts District is To promote the arts in
general, as well as the enhancement of existing businesses, while encouraging new
pedestrian oriented commercial, professional and residential growth within the
neighborhood. Since the adoption of the Downtown Centennial Plan in 2000, there
have been numerous changes to the Permissible Uses listed in LVMC Title 19, which is
the parent source of the uses permitted within 18b The Las Vegas Arts District. These
changes have not always been applied to the 18b The Las Vegas Arts District resulting
in lost economic opportunity and confusion as to what is allowed in the district.
The proposed amendment would eliminate the separate and distinct Permitted Uses list
of the 18b The Las Vegas Arts District and replace it with a reference to LVMC Chapter
19.12. This would bring the 18b The Las Vegas Arts District into parity with the other
districts covered by the Downtown Centennial Plan that utilize standard zoning districts
to regulate the development of land. The Parkway Center District is the only Downtown
Centennial Plan district that does not utilize standard zoning and will continue to have a
separate and distinct use list as required by its PD zoning classification.
Referring to LVMC Title 19 for the permitted uses instead of maintaining a separate and
distinct list of permitted uses will remove ambiguity regarding what is allowed in a given
zoning district in the 18b The Las Vegas Arts District. It will further eliminate the need for
redundant code amendments when a use is added, deleted or modified in the Unified
Development Code (LVMC Title 19). The elimination of the Permitted Uses list of the 18b
RTS

TXT-68157
Staff Report Page Two
January 10, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting

The Las Vegas Arts District will open the district up for uses that, while otherwise permitted
under the zoning district, are not on the districts separate and distinct use list and may not
contribute to the elements of the stated goal for the district. Therefore, staff has no
recommendation regarding adoption of the proposed amendment.

FINDINGS (TXT-68157)
The proposed text amendment will achieve the following:

Eliminate the separate and distinct 18b The Las Vegas Arts District permitted uses
subsection and instead refer uses to the underlying zoning district and the use
requirements and limitations established for that zoning in LVMC Chapter 19.12.
