Public Comments & Testimony - General Public Comments (beginning of meeting): - Michael Sellers (9973 Brazos Band Street) expressed strong support for the Mountains Edge Regional Park expansion (Item 4), emphasizing the need for baseball fields with raised pitching mounds and synthetic turf. He noted no baseball fields exist in Mountains Edge, hindering Little League formation. - Vincent Palmer (9901 Trailwood Drive) initially spoke about the Patriot Housing project (Items 39–42) but was redirected to the public hearing for that item. - Items 19–23 (Buffalo Amigos): Two speakers opposed the plan amendment, zone change, and design review. They argued the area is zoned RE (Ranch Estate) and that smaller lot homes would be incompatible with the existing half-acre homes. One speaker noted the site is in the middle of the Neighborhood Protection (RNP) overlay. - Items 36–38 (Sustainable Development Fund 1): Two speakers opposed the plan amendment to Business Employment and industrial light zoning, citing traffic concerns, noise from bay doors facing residential areas, and the inappropriateness of industrial use near rural neighborhoods. - Items 39–42 (City of Las Vegas – Patriot Housing): Multiple speakers expressed both support and opposition. Supporters (including Vincent Palmer, VFW Commander Christy Lavender, and Marine Corps veteran Jason Lisby) emphasized the urgent need for veteran housing, noting the project is not a homeless shelter but a deed-restricted veteran community. Opponents (including Kelly Wentz, Tiffany Padilla, and Fernando Padilla) cited location concerns: proximity to a solar field, water treatment plant, recycling center, traffic congestion, lack of amenities, and potential property value impacts. One opponent noted the project is not exclusively for veterans (based on a similar development in North Las Vegas). Discussion Items - Items 13–15 (Eagle Nest Henderson): Heard together. Applicant proposed a 6-lot single-family residential development on 3.03 acres with waivers for landscaping, buffering, and retaining wall height. No public speakers. Approved unanimously. - Item 16 (Ulloa): Holdover waiver to eliminate/reduce setbacks for an existing single-family residence. Applicant revised plans to move patio covers 3 feet from property line. Neighbor letters of approval provided. Approved 5–2 (Commissioners Mujica and Brady dissenting). - Item 18 (Flores-Solis): Waivers for reduced setback and increased retaining wall height for a proposed single-family home. No public speakers. Approved unanimously. - Items 19–23 (Buffalo Amigos/Silver Serene): Proposed plan amendment from RN to LN, zone change from RS20 to RS5.2, removal of RNP overlay, vacate easements, waivers, and tentative map for 18 single-family lots. Applicant argued the site is on a major arterial (Buffalo Drive) with changing trends. Two speakers opposed. Discussion revealed concerns about the site being in the middle of the RNP overlay and incompatible with half-acre lots. Motion to approve item 19 (plan amendment) failed 4–3 (Frasier, Mujica, Roitman, Stone aye; Brady, Kirk, Kilarski nay). The remaining items were rendered moot and forwarded to BCC without recommendation. - Items 24–27 (South Decatur Holding Co): Heard together. Plan amendment from NC to CN, zone change from CG to RS2, waivers, and tentative map for 19 attached single-family lots. Applicant revised plans to remove doors facing Decatur and reduced building height. Public Works opposed waiver 6 (reduced curb return radius). Commission approved items 24–27 with waiver 6 denied, noting applicant can revise plans. Approved 6–1 (Kilarski nay? Actually vote was 6–0? Minutes show unanimous aye for items 25–27, but transcript shows Commissioner Kilarski opposed? Per minutes: item 24 adopted unanimously; items 25-27 approved unanimously. However, transcript indicates Commissioner Kilarski had concerns but voted aye? There is discrepancy: minutes show unanimous votes for items 25-27. We'll follow minutes as official record.) - Items 28–32 (Horizon West Homes): Heard together. Plan amendment from MN to CN, zone change from RS20 to RM18, vacate easements, waivers, and tentative map for 14 single-family attached lots. No public speakers. Approved unanimously with conditions including a development agreement for fair-share infrastructure contribution. - Items 36–38 (Sustainable Development Fund 1): Heard together. Plan amendment from NC to BE, zone change from RS20 to IL, waivers for office/warehouse. Two speakers opposed. Commission modified the zone change from IL to IP (Industrial Park) to limit higher-intensity industrial uses, and added a condition that significant design changes require a public hearing. Approved 6–1 (Commissioner Kilarski dissenting). - Items 39–42 (City of Las Vegas – Patriot Housing): Heard together. Plan amendment from PU to UN, zone change from PF to RM32, vacate right-of-way, and design review for a 348-unit veteran affordable housing development. Public speakers: 5 opposition, 4 support. Commissioner Kilarski moved to deny, which failed 1–6. Chair Frasier then moved to approve, which passed 6–1 (Kilarski dissenting). Conditions included a 50-year affordability covenant and a Declaration of Restrictive Covenants. - Items 43–47 (Nevada Palace): Heard together. Plan amendment from EM to CN, zone change from CR to RS2, vacate right-of-way, PUD for 279-lot detached single-family residential development, and tentative map. No public speakers.

The meeting addressed 62 agenda items, including routine approvals and non‑routine public hearings. Several items were held to later dates (July 8, July 22, and August 5, 2026). After public comment, the board approved the agenda with these holds, approved the minutes of the May 20, 2026 meeting, and then took up the routine consent calendar (items 4–24, with item 4 heard separately). The remainder of the meeting consisted of item‑by‑item hearings, with the most substantial debate centered on the Switch data center expansion (items 50–53). Consent Calendar - Items 4–24 (routine action items) were approved together in one motion, except item 4 which was heard separately. A comprehensive planning condition was added to item 16 (WS‑26‑0197) requiring a design review for any additional buildings on the site. Public Comments & Testimony - First public comment period (agenda items 4–62): Laura McSwain (Water Fairness Coalition) spoke on items 50–53, expressing concern that eliminating street trees and parking lot landscaping for data centers conflicts with the county’s heat mitigation goals. She noted that while Switch has been recognized for environmentally responsible operations, the cumulative effect of such waivers should be examined. Diane Henry cited Switch’s 2025 water consumption of approximately 340 million gallons and urged the board to deny the expansion, also raising the perception of bias from campaign contributions. - Item 4 – Lantern Festival (Turnberry Towers resident): Aaron Ginnalus opposed the outdoor storage of lantern structures, calling them a fire hazard and visual blight. He also noted that non‑artistic structures (food, parking booths) were among the stored items. - Items 38–42 – Cimarron Spring subdivision: Multiple residents (Daryl Victorian, Jason Erickson, Steve King, Andrew Acunia) opposed the proposed densification, asking the board to uphold the existing RNP overlay and RS‑20 zoning. They argued that six or eight lots on 2.43 acres would harm the equestrian character of the area and that the applicant had not adequately compromised. - Items 50–53 – Switch data center expansion: A total of 15 public speakers opposed the project, including representatives from the Sierra Club, Nevada Environmental Justice Coalition, and community members. Key concerns included: - Energy and water consumption (Switch’s existing campus used 340 million gallons in 2025). - Waiver of landscaping and tree requirements, which would worsen the urban heat island effect. - Public safety issues raised by county staff (gate location, attached sidewalk). - Cumulative impacts of data centers on the grid and ratepayers. - The Enterprise Town Advisory Board had unanimously denied the design review and half of the waivers on June 10, 2026. - No public speakers appeared for the other items. Discussion Items - Item 4 (AR‑26‑400041) – Use permit and design review for a recreational/entertainment facility (annual lantern festival) on 12.2 acres at Sahara and Paradise. Applicant revised conditions to delete specific dates in favor of annual event parameters and to allow the temporary display of lantern structures as art when the festival is not operating. After a resident objected to the storage of non‑artistic items, the board approved with a condition that within 60 days the applicant spread the lantern art around the site per a plan, meet with the Turnberry Towers representative, and that the art display be subject to a one‑year review. - Items 30–31 (Hudson Capital) – Waiver of conditions for a commercial development on 0.98 acres. Approved per town advisory board conditions with no public opposition. - Item 32 (WS‑26‑0192) – Waiver of off‑site improvements for a single‑family residence in Kyle Canyon. Applicant agreed to pave the private road and landscape with trees. Approved with a condition that the accessory structure match the home’s exterior. - Items 34–37 (Diamond Edmond) – Plan amendment and zone change (RS‑20/CP to IP) for an office/warehouse on 4.12 acres. Applicant withdrew two waivers (building height and fire pump setback) and agreed to a 30‑ft landscape buffer with three rows of trees (escarpment oak and Monterey oak) along the west residential boundary. Approved with that landscaping condition. - Items 38–42 (Cimarron Spring holdover) – Applicant originally sought 12 lots on 2.43 acres, reduced to 8 lots with RS‑5.2 zoning. After neighbors strongly opposed, Commissioner Jones moved to approve with a modification to 6 lots and RS‑10 zoning (10,000 sq ft minimum). The motion passed over Commissioner Becker’s dissent, who argued the RNP and existing zoning should remain unchanged. - Items 43–47 (Anterasian Family Trust) – Plan amendment from NC to CN and zone change to RS‑2 for 50 townhomes (reduced from 54). Applicant added a condition to paint the new block wall to match the neighbor’s wall if permission was obtained. Approved unanimously. - Items 48–49 (Madison LV BN) – Zone change from H‑2 to IP and use permits for truck parking and outdoor storage. Applicant added a condition limiting deliveries/idling from 11 PM to 6 AM for loading docks within 150 feet of the north property line. Approved. - Items 50–53 (Switch data center, LAS 19) – Zone change, vacate, waivers, and tentative map for a 56,000 sq ft data center on 8.99 acres. The applicant voluntarily withdrew landscaping waivers (1B, 1C, and 2). A condition was added requiring a financial contribution to public works for design and construction of a concrete barrier separating the sidewalk from travel lanes along Warm Springs Road. Commissioners noted the facility uses 100% renewable energy, closed‑loop cooling (less than 1,000 gallons/day), and is surrounded by Switch‑owned land. The motion passed (approved) with those modifications. - Items 58–62 (Ordinances – Introduction) – Five ordinances were introduced for public hearing on July 8, 2026: development agreements for residential and vocational training projects, and amendments to Title 30 (including a tree fee increase effective July 1, 2026) and the zoning map.

The Clark County Planning Commission held a briefing meeting on Tuesday, June 16, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. in the Commission Chambers at the Clark County Government Center. The meeting was called to order by Chair Edward Frasier III. The purpose of the briefing was to receive staff presentations on items on the June 16, 2026 Planning Commission agenda, discuss a new ordinance, and address administrative items. No public comments were received. The meeting adjourned at 6:26 p.m. Discussion Items - Staff Presentation on Agenda Items: Richard Ruggles, Principal Planner, presented the routine action items (Items 4–15) and non-routine items (Items 16–48). Key points included: - Items 9–12, 32–43 were requested to be held by the applicant. - Items 20–23 were requested to be held, but late information indicated the applicant might wish to remove the hold. Staff noted revised plans had not been submitted, but the applicant would need to formally request removal of the hold before the commission. Negar Masoomi, Assistant Planning Manager, clarified the revised plans involve removing doors along Decatur Boulevard. - For Items 29–31, staff recommended approval only for the use permit (office use) and denial of waivers and design review. Commissioner Vivian Kilarski asked for clarification, and Negar Masoomi confirmed the approval is limited to the use permit. - Public Works Condition on Item 8: JaWaan Dodson, Assistant Manager, Public Works – Development Review, requested adding a condition requiring dedication of 30 feet for Redwood Street to the vacation and abandonment of easements. The applicant was aware and the condition was accepted. - Ordinance 26-900423: Martin Gies, Planning Manager, presented an ordinance to amend Title 30 regulations as directed by the Board of County Commissioners. Changes include: - Modifying the Title 30 fee schedule (fee increase to $1,055.62, adjusted annually by CPI up to 5%). - Adding a revised plans procedure for changes between 10% and 25% of approved plans, handled administratively. - Clarifying court reporter requirements per NRS. - Correcting typographical errors in defined terms (bath house, dormitory). - Commissioner Kilarski asked whether conditions imposed by the Planning Commission would prevail over the revised plans procedure. Martin Gies confirmed that if a condition requires major changes to go through a public hearing, that condition takes precedence. - Commissioner Michael Roitman asked about Items 20–23 again, noting the lack of revised plans. Negar Masoomi reiterated the hold remains unless the applicant formally requests removal. Key Outcomes - No formal votes were taken during the briefing; all items are for discussion in advance of the regular Planning Commission meeting. - A condition was added to Item 8 (vacation of patent easements) requiring dedication of 30 feet for Redwood Street. - Clarifications were provided: The revised plans procedure does not override conditions of approval imposed by the Planning Commission; staff recommendations for Items 29–31 are approval only for the use permit, with denial of waivers and design review. - Items 20–23 remain on hold unless the applicant requests removal at the regular meeting. - The ordinance (26-900423) will be considered at a future Board of County Commissioners meeting.

The Debt Management Committee met on June 4, 2026, at 9 a.m. with a quorum present. The meeting covered approval of the agenda and minutes, followed by three bond issuance proposals for the Clark County School District, the Strip resort corridor, and the Beltway. All items were approved unanimously. Public Comments & Testimony - No public comments were received during either of the two public comment periods. Discussion Items Clark County School District General Obligation Bonds ($600 Million) - Justin Dayhoff (CCSD CFO) and Andy Artusa (municipal advisor) presented a proposal to issue $600 million in GO bonds, part of an ongoing capital improvement plan through March 2035. The district spends approximately $54 million per month on construction. The previous $600 million authorization was issued in two tranches: $400 million in September 2025 and $200 million in March 2026. The new $600 million will also be bifurcated into two issuances, expected October 2026 and June 2027. - The bonds are repaid from the district's 55.34-cent property tax rate, retiring about $287 million in debt service annually. The proposal assumed a 5% interest rate, but current market rates are closer to 4%; the March 2026 issue achieved 3.64%. Debt service coverage would exceed 2x, well above the commission's 1x requirement. - A debt service reserve is required by the legislature: the lesser of 25% of next year's debt service or 10% of outstanding par (currently about $118 million). The district also has approximately $184 million in tax abatement available as a further cushion. - Projects funded include roof and HVAC replacements at elementary schools, replacement schools for Cashman Middle, Gibson Middle, Las Vegas Academy, Southwest Career Technical Academy, Bridger Middle, Chaparral High, Tommy Yasu, Hyde Park, and a new pre-K–8 in North Las Vegas. About 70% of the funding is for rehabilitation. None of the schools are on the district's potential closure list. - Commissioners requested a list of approved projects and noted that the resolution must state that any property tax increase needed would be outside the property tax cap. Motion carried unanimously. Strip Corridor Transportation Improvement Bonds - Anna Danchuk (County Comptroller) presented a proposal to issue debt for transportation projects within the Strip resort corridor. Debt service is paid by resort room tax revenues. The new issuance would bring total outstanding debt under this pledge to $344.3 million. Statutory debt capacity exceeds $14 billion. The 20-year bonds include a 100-basis-point cushion in the debt service schedule. - Historical debt service coverage for FY2026 is estimated at 2.67x; pro forma coverage including the new bonds remains over 2x through 2040, assuming no growth in pledged revenues. No property tax rate increase is anticipated. - Projects include upgrading elevators and escalators at the Flamingo, Spring Mountain, and Harmony intersections (total $100 million), a new pedestrian bridge at Bellagio ($5 million), and resurfacing Paradise Road and portions of Las Vegas Boulevard. Work will be phased over two to three years. Additional projects are in the county's five-year capital plan. - Motion approved unanimously. Beltway Transportation Improvement Bonds - This proposal covers bonds for Beltway projects, secured by a different pledged revenue: the 1% supplemental governmental service tax, a portion of new development fees, and the 1% room tax outside the resort corridor. New outstanding debt would be $136 million. The 20-year term also includes a 100-basis-point cushion. - Historical coverage ratios are strong: 10–11x; FY2026 estimated at 10.73x. Pro forma coverage ranges from 6.19x to 13.9x over the life of the bonds, assuming no revenue growth. No property tax increase is expected. - A commissioner asked about the risk of legislative changes to the supplemental governmental service tax; Ryan Henry from Taft Law confirmed that once bonds are issued, the legislature cannot repeal the tax because it would impair the bond contract. - Motion approved unanimously. Key Outcomes - Approval of Agenda (motion by Commissioner Becker, second by Dan Shaw): Approved unanimously. - Approval of Minutes (May 7, 2026 meeting, motion by Dan Shaw, second by Commissioner Becker): Approved unanimously. - Resolution for CCSD GO Bonds: Motion by Dan Shaw, second by Yolanda King. Approved unanimously with the condition that any property tax increase would be outside the abatement cap. - Resolution for Strip Corridor Bonds: Motion by Councilwoman Kara Kelly, second by Dan Shaw. Approved unanimously. - Resolution for Beltway Bonds: Motion by Yolanda King, second by Dan Shaw. Approved unanimously. - Meeting adjourned.
