Can I speak and vote?

Yes, you can.

All right, thank you very much.

Name and address for the record and tell us about your application.

So he menus, S-U-J-H-E-Y, J-I-M-E-E at E Z.

Uh address is 202 North Phyllis Street, Las Vegas, Nevada, 89110.

We are here to be able to request a second extension for our container with that we currently have on our property.

We were asked to pull out a permit and a final inspection on by November 15th of last year.

This was done by November 3rd of last year.

We were also made aware on our town board by our town board council that we had two violations open.

Those have been paid on January 26th.

And we ask that you guys approve for our container to stay there for an second extension.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Um, so I'm gonna open this item up for a public hearing.

Anyone in the audience would like to come down and speak on this item.

Now's the time to do so.

And again, name and address for the record.

Russell Valentine, 745 North Hog uh Street, um 89110.

Um I just have a couple questions about the uh the why do we need to raise the height of this fence?

Um this appears to be just a chain link fence.

If there is this a temporary structure versus a permanent structure, um there's also the the uh I think the structure they're referring to is a container at the back of the lot, um which is pretty graffitied up.

Um pretty good eyesore.

But um but it seems like we're trying to approve things that have been on the property for some time now, too.

So just thank you.

Thank you.

Um I I hesitate to answer that question.

I I I think because of what's on the property, I think the applicant is trying to address those items by by bringing that stuff before planning commission.

And staff, if you could maybe speak to the gentleman's question.

Um other words, give a little bit of history on the height of the fence increase.

Is this gonna be made of privacy fence or something like that, or is it just gonna be an open chain link fence so I believe the fence is already in existence on the site?

Are the code um in this particular zone, which is um RS20, states that non-decorative fences um cannot exceed uh three feet in height within the front yard setback area.

So that's the request for the the waiver.

You can come back up, sir.

If you if you if you want if you still want to have some dialogue.

I mean, I don't know if that answered your question.

It's um is you're where we're not allowed to have um chain link fences in the front setback, three feet in height is is the length, so she has to come in for a waiver if she wants to have something other than what's allowed by code.

Yeah, that's what that's what I figured is just being a non-decorative fence, so it never was had the height restrictions, but um so they're just want to put in a six-foot-tall fence, which is already there, like you said.

No, we're just trying to clarify what kind of fence we're trying to build here, is all and how long it's gonna be there.

Yeah, I I I apologize.

I I think that the fence exists, so so I don't think she's trying to build anything, unless I'm missing the application.

Am I wrong about that, staff?

I am wrong about that.

Okay, well, so whose area is this?

Um I apologize.

Could could you could you help me out, Commissioner Kirsty?

Right now she has a chain link fence in the front, and she has a connects container all the way back.

The uh the grading is kind of weird because it goes down towards the back of the property.

You can barely see the container from the street.

But you can see that it is all graffitied up.

Uh we don't know what she wants to build in the end because there have been no plans, even though she has alluded to plans coming forth for approximately five years now.

So this is why I pulled it off because I want to be able to figure out what the plans are before I do another extension.

I have concerns about the long-term plan as well.

But all right, thank you.

We'll get the applicant back up and try to get you get some get that answered for you.

All right.

So anyone else want to speak on this item?

All right, seeing no one else, I'm gonna close the public hearing, and then we'll open up to our commissioners.

And I think Commissioner Clarski, you have some questions for the applicant.

First off, what are your long-term plans?

When this thing first came to us in tw in 2020, that's when it was approved by the BCC.

There was an initial plan of four homes.

Four years later, you came in and asked for a waiver.

This waiver.

And at that time at town board, you alluded, because I was sitting there to eight homes.

We don't know what you're doing.

We don't know where it's going.

You have the conic because you were going to use the conics to store the materials to build that development.

I don't know what's in that connects.

If it's an empty con it, it's just sitting there.

It is all graffited up.

So I want to know right now, I want it for the record.

What are you going to build?

It was actually six homes.

I actually have a tentative map, vacational uh meeting and zone change and waivers of development standards scheduled for February 26th, and then I have a board of country or county here on March 18th.

So I have those those within this.

So February 26th is your town board meeting.

Correct.

I'd like to meet with you prior to that.

Okay.

Okay.

And at that point in time we can see because um I just don't want the neighbors having to go to town board after town board because you're gonna be coming in for extensions.

Correct.

I want that connec to be used for what you initially proposed for it to be used.

Correct.

That's why we're asking for a second extension.

Okay.

I am going to give you that second extension.

And it's going to be what town board wanted, and that would be six months.

So that'll put you at your February meeting, and everything better be put in.

Uh as they say in bullet number one, just change the time to six months.

Perfect, thank you.

So that's my motion to approve uh with staff if approved condition or with staff conditions changing bullet number one to six months.

Thank you following town board.

Thank you, Commissioner Clarski.

There's a motion on the floor.

Cast your vote.

That motion passes.

Good luck.

This is final action unless uh unless appealed.

Next time on the agenda, um are items 11 and 12.

They are companion items and we'll be heard together.

Uh item 11 is a uh VS 250830.

Holdover, vacate and abandon a portion of right-of-way being Mojave Road, located between Tropican Avenue and Tompkins Avenue within Paradise.

Um item thir uh item 12, UC 250831, holdover use permit for a gas station, design review for a proposed gas station and convenience store on 2.39 acres in the a CG commercial general zone, journal located north of Tropicanna Avenue in East Mojave Road within Paradise.

Thank you.

The name and address for the record, tell us about your application.

Good evening.

Jennifer Lazovich, 1980 Festival Plaza Drive here tonight on behalf of the applicant.

The property is located just north of Tropicana and on the east side of Mojave.

To the south, uh cross Tropicana is the Walmart um center.

There's a sprouts over there.

There's a number of outbuildings around.

And then on the north side of Tropicana, you have some other commercial uses as you travel west from Pecos until you get to this site.

This site for a number of years, it is my understanding was used as a adjuster building for an insurance company where you would bring your car if it had been in an accident or something had happened, and it an insurance adjuster would take a look at it and tell you what they thought insurance would pay.

It has been vacant for a while.

For uh lingering in the background on this application was the first application that we brought forward, which was a use permit to do an auto-body auto repair shop.

And we know that this neighborhood that sits to the north is very active, so we did a voluntary neighborhood meeting, and they were not supportive of that use.

Um they felt that it was leaning more industrial, even though you can do it in commercial zoning.

They felt that that use really leaned more industrial and wasn't appropriate next to the homes.

So we were tasked to go and find a different use.

The property is in a commercial uh zoning district, it is hard zone commercial.

So the application before you now is something that you may traditionally find in more commercial zoning districts, which is for a convenience store with fuel pumps.

The uh site plan itself, um it's a long and narrow piece of property.

So in the back right now stays or remains the uh parking lot that was part of the prior application, and the use that's before you tonight sits towards the front of the property with the uh convenience store building being located right here, and then up closer to Tropicana where my finger is is where the fuel canopy would be.

So we know that this site has had its fair share of challenges, especially while it's been vacant.

Um, and then just hearing some of the things that we heard through the process.

We did do another voluntary neighborhood meeting.

We also went to town board, and so we have some additional conditions that I did provide a copy of to staff, but I would like to read into the record.

Uh the first condition is all existing and proposed perimeter block walls will be painted a tan color on the side facing towards the site.

We are required to put in a new eight-foot decorative block wall along the north boundary, and so it refers to that wall, and then it will refer to a wall that we're gonna be adding along the east side.

Uh the second condition would be install a new block wall along the eastern boundary of the site from the rear of the convenience store building to the wall on the north boundary.

What that means is uh it's right about in this area, and we provided an exhibit to the what I'm using right now, is an exhibit that we also provided to staff, which kind of depicts in plan form the conditions that I'm reading.

So along this east boundary from about right where my finger is to the north, there's an existing chain link fence that sits there.

And what we heard quite a bit from the residents who use Mojave to get to their houses is they really didn't want to see the uses that sit to the east of the property, and though not required because this is a commercial site next to a commercial property, so a block wall is not required.

We are uh voluntarily agreeing to put in a six-foot block wall.

It's not quite the entire length of the property, but it does manage to cover the view for about half the property of the cars and other things that occur on the east side of the site.

We are gonna plant eight 36-inch box chur pine trees adjacent to the north boundary.

That will be along here.

Then we're gonna plant seven Texas mountain laurel trees at a three-inch caliper in the northern landscape buffer.

So the chur pine trees will be closer to the wall, and then as you come south, we'll have some Texas mountain laurels.

Um, following what the town board recommended, we're gonna install four signs to state no overnight parking or camping.

That's predominantly because we still have that parking lot space back here.

And then finally, the five existing on-site parking lights to uh parking lights located north of the proposed convenience store to be replaced and operable.

All lighting shall be shielded and lighting directed downward.

What that condition means is there are some existing lights again that go from that prior use, but they're not in operation.

And some of the neighbors didn't like the idea that there would be kind of a dark area in the rear of the property, so they did want some lighting, but made sure it directed downward to make sure that it wasn't uh bleeding onto the residential property to the north.

So this condition would cover that.

Uh we do appreciate staff recommending approval of this item.

We also appreciate town board doing the same, and I'll stand ready to answer any questions after the neighbors speak.

Thank you very much.

So at this time, we're going to open this application up for a public hearing.

And anyone in the audience that would like to speak on this item, now's the time.

Yes, ma'am.

Name and address for the record.

Laura Eisenberg, 4776 East Monterra Circle, Las Vegas, Nevada, 89121.

I'm a resident of the property that is right on the property wall of the business that we were we were just looking at.

So what I wanted to speak to was even though the uh the business owner is willing to do a lot of the a lot of aesthetics to make the property a little bit more pleasing.

The three things that I wanted to bring to the attention of the board and that our community is concerned with are um three three items.

Uh one is air pollution, which if uh from EPA reports, um you can they they uh review gasoline pumps, and there's always an elevated air pollution from the noxious fumes from gasoline pumps that extend to at least 800 meters from the actual pumps, which actually extends even beyond our community and all of our outdoor spaces that our community uses quite regularly.

Um the second thing is crime, uh looking at FBI reports, they um they report increased crime rates from convenience stores, and the third thing is traffic.

We know that in order to increase your profits from a convenience store and gasoline station, you have to increase your traffic, and there are two aspects of this.

One, this is a resident, the the the street that in which you would enter and exit this business is South Mojave Road, which is a residential street, and right now trucks are not allowed on that street.

Um, and that has been a residential street that cuts right through the center of our community.

And what we don't think is good for our community is increased traffic, particularly trucks and 24 hours 7, 24-7 traffic on that street, uh, including all of the delivery trucks that would take to uh fuel the gas pumps and and supply the convenience store.

So those are three items that even the aesthetics that the the owner is willing to put up that can't be changed.

Those things.

So the point that I wanted to make about that was that the success of this business is a burden to our community on an increasing level because the more business they do, the more pollution, the more traffic and the more crime we are exposed to.

The beauty of our neighborhood is that it has been a peaceful and quiet residential neighborhood tucked away from the traffic and the noise and the pollution of Tropicana for the last 50 years.

And what that has led to was a community that has been very stable and very affordable.

And I I comment on that because I think that affordable housing is a commodity that is pretty rare these days, and stability is a commodity that's pretty rare these days, and especially in a town like Las Vegas, which is known to be very transient.

We have people in our community that have lived there, raised their children, and and are welcoming their grandchildren into this community.

And we feel like the stability of this community is one of the reasons why we have such a good community that people want to live in.

I think it's only to the benefit of the community and the county at large that we have a neighborhood that we actually know our neighbors because we have this kind of community that people do cherish and use their outdoor space.

The kids play there safely.

People walk their dogs there, they meet there.

We have three and a half miles of walking space within our community, which is rare these days, and we want to protect that kind of community to keep existing in a in a city that is chipping away at it.

These this gas station and also the auto-body repair shop that was um recommended last year, are chipping away at the integrity of our community and the cleanliness of our community with the increased risk of traffic crime and air pollution.

So I would like the the uh the committee here to perhaps extend your thought process beyond just the idea of um of allowing a business into the space that may um actually fulfill the basic requirements of a business to be in a commercial space, but to extend your thoughts to if you were living in that community and you were really wanting to protect your community from degradation.

Could you see a little further than just the minimum requirements for a business to be there and think past that to a business that would be fitting in the community and that would be welcome in the community?

So I wanted to point out that we the people who live in the community, we are the neighborhood, we pay the property taxes, we pay for our own infrastructure, and we solve our own problems and we vote.

And gas stations don't do any of those things.

They're not contributing to the stability and the integrity of our neighborhood.

So please vote to disapprove this business.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Appreciate it.

Um thank you for your comments.

Name and address for the record.

Hi, Dr.

DiAdra Locato, DMD MBA, 4760 Desert Vista Road, Las Vegas, Nevada, 89121.

I've been a part of this community for anywhere between 25 and 30 years, depending on your your scope.

And I've been in Monterra States for about 25 years.

Um there is a lot that is not even half a mile away that they could buy to put a gas station there.

There was one there, it was very, very, very long time, and it would not be under any violation of the zoning variances.

In order for our community to some of them get to the pool and the clubhouse, they have to cross that main street, the street that all that traffic is going to go down.

We have pets that cross that street.

We have children that cross that street, whether they're going over to the tennis courts, whether they're going over into the park, or whether they're going to the dog park, right?

We have constant traffic that is going back and forth.

Another set of people who do not have a voice in this are going to is going to be the retirement home.

They are a three or four story community that is there.

They have quite a few people that have been coming and going in that that neighborhood.

They are also, you know, people that are important to us.

And that increase of pollution by 800 times is going to be unbelievably detrimental to their health.

And they did not sign up for this, and they don't have a voice for this.

This um this gas station is already in violation of a zoning ordinance in location to that, and they are asking for a waiver for that.

We would like for that waiver to be denied, and we would like for you to oppose this.

A gas station does not belong in this area.

It is very small, it is a it is a very community-driven area.

Again, they can buy the lot that is not even two blocks or about uh a quarter of a mile west, and they can put a gas station there.

This needs to be a um an office space, it needs to be something that is quiet, it needs to be something that does not bring or draw a lot of traffic.

It is not our job as a community to find something that is successful for that location.

It is their job to make sure that when they purchase that land, they know what to do with it and make it successful.

So that is their job, and our job is to make sure that we protect our investments because they're not going to be coming in and making sure that the asthma for our children is going to get any better.

They're not going to be the ones that are taking care of our property values when they drop because we now have increased crime, we now have increased pollution.

So I please I beg you to please make sure that you take care of your community and the people that you are here to support and the people that you are here to represent and oppose this and vote no for both the autobody shop in two weeks and for this gas station.

And it is their job to find something that is quiet and in this and works within this community.

Thank you.

Thank you for your comments.

Anyone else in the audience want to speak on this item?

Yes, sir.

Come on down.

Name and address for the record.

Yeah, you can use that one and or the handheld mic in the middle there.

I don't have to use my hands, I'll use this one.

Thanks.

Tim Victor, uh, F-I-C-H-T-E-R.

I live at 4753 Westbury Road, Las Vegas 89121.

I'm here to speak uh in favor of the proposed uh use permit.

Uh you're the chairman, Mr.

Chairman.

Um this applicant application for the gas station and convenience store has made some changes since it was at the um township meeting in and uh Paradise Park on January 13th.

And uh even at that time I felt it was a good project.

But they've upped the game and made some improvements that I think are even make it even better.

Um the applicant has added three things which impressed me.

He's added a third row of trees in the buffer zone between that commercial use and our residential use.

Um he's added a block wall along the east property line that uh wouldn't have to by code, but or by zoning ordinance, but he's done that at our request.

And it's not because we don't want to see the dumpster on the other side of the fence, which we don't, and it's kind of a scrappy view.

The real reason is to stop homeless traffic and encampments that go through the chain leak fence.

They cut through places in that chain link fence and they migrate across that property from west to east and from north to south.

They cut through the property to go to the bus stop and to go to fast food places, and it's not good for us, and it's really not good for the user either.

He'll be you know pleasing that once he moves in and has his business.

So he sees that and he's added that wall.

So that's great.

Um and then as you heard, he's also replacing the lights and having those lights on at night will help prevent the homeless from staying overnight in that north parking area.

Oh I uh I'm a retired architect.

I've I've brought clients through here.

I I kind of know the process.

I've I've titled 30 in in my personal library.

Um I have the old one, not the new one, but I know what title 30 talks about.

So when you have a new use permit, uh a new user for a piece of property, then they have to satisfy the conditions for that use, uh, especially when it's adjacent to residential.

And one of those things is a certain distance for a buffer, a certain wall for a buffer, and certain landscaping for the buffer.

That was already done with the first use permit on that property that was commercial.

That was done.

We have the distance.

We have they had trees.

They're gonna put in new trees because the ones that were the originally are dead, and we also have a wall.

Uh I'll just make it real quick.

We have a wall, don't have to put another wall in there.

Well, with the next guy that comes from uh with a new commercial use, could have a third wall and a fourth wall.

We have a wall already.

Please don't build another wall.

There's one there already on the north property line.

Anyway, and for it, definitely not for auto body and paint shop.

It's even worse, especially because it would have outside storage, which really is not allowed.

And I'll address that when that comes up before you next time.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Um I'll recognize you, but this is not a going back and forth.

Please come on, name and address for the record.

So sort of recognition record is clear, and then go ahead and give me make a comment.

Dr.

Diodor Locato, DMD MBA 4760 Desert Vista Road, Las Vegas, Nevada, 89121.

They don't have the distance.

Um they do have the distance towards our community, they do not have the distance to the retirement home and that other community, just so that we're aware.

Thank you.

Anyone else in the audience like to speak on this item?

Okay, all right.

Seeing no one else, we'll close the public hearing.

I'll bring the applicant back up, and she can maybe um give some responses to what's been said, and then we'll leave it to the commissioners to go back and forth.

Jennifer Lazovich for the record, 1980 Festival Plaza Drive.

So this exhibit just kind of shows the amount of commercial, it's pulled back a little bit so that you can see um the amount of commercial that is in this area, a lot of which, and I'll just stay on the north side of Tropicana, um, really kind of ends at where my my pen is going.

And so it's a long and narrow lot.

What do you do when the frontage of it is along Tropicana?

Um, again, in trying to be responsive to some of the things we heard from the neighbors, uh, we came up with a different use than the first one, which was the auto-body auto repair.

And it is centered um or located, I should say, closer to Tropicana, which is in thousands and thousands of cars, use that every day.

In terms of a sea store use in general, it doesn't pull um people to come here from really far away.

The idea of a convenience store, it's probably by definition convenience.

So you're gonna use this if you're already in the area.

Maybe you live there, maybe you work there, maybe you're on your way somewhere, but you're already going by.

So it isn't going to pull in traffic that's not already circulating in the general area, so I don't think that there is um there in reality the concerns about traffic are gonna increase that much.

We have tried to be responsive, um, perhaps not to the use itself.

I understand that there is just some concerns with the use, period, but we have tried to be responsive with other things that we have heard to try to improve the site through landscaping and through the wall um condition with the additional lighting and the signage.

So we we really have tried to be responsive to the things that we have heard that we were in control of and could adjust on the site.

All right, thank you very much.

Um I'm gonna open it.

I'm gonna start with our commissioners.

Um I'll start with Commissioner Kalarski.

Thank you, Mr.

Chair.

I got some questions for staff and and for you.

Um there is another application, which was the uh auto body repair shop.

Now, if this is approved, I don't know if it is, then that application is expunged.

We would withdraw.

Withdrawn.

Okay.

If this is not approved, you're going forward with the auto body.

I would have to talk with uh with the applicant and the applicant on you know, is that do they have that's a year ago, really, that we started this process.

So I don't know if that end user is is interested or not.

Still, um, but I would hold the item to see if that's what we would and I asked that because I was at the town board a month ago, and uh I know that that one of the town board members specifically said she thought that that was a much better use, the auto body shop than she did the uh convenience store gas station uh based on who the tenant was gonna be.

Uh my next question is or my not so much question, um you're not asking for any waivers.

Now the the distance we know goes to the property line, but the building, the apartment of the retirement home, that is how far away staff do you know?

Uh it's 110 feet uh to the proposed uh gas station canopy.

But the actual bill, so from the where the gas canopy would be to the and you're right, it goes to the property line.

That's about a hundred and ten feet.

Okay, but they have a large parking lot here, and so when you to get to the actual building, it's my understanding it's pretty close to 200 feet.

Okay, do we know about what that is?

Do you staff?

You don't have to, but I'm just kind of curious.

We don't have that dimension on our plans.

Okay.

Um I I am you're not asking for any waivers.

Really?

You're not uh this is a commercial.

It's commercial general.

She's not trying to change the zoning.

Um anything can go there.

I don't think a bar could, but maybe that falls within the commercial general.

I don't think you want a bar there.

Um I remember Mr.

Fichter from the Great Buns controversy a number of years ago.

Um so I know how strong that neighborhood is and how how much you guys like or support each other and want to ensure that maintain the peacefulness and all the good stuff that you guys have built.

I've been in my home for 40 years, so I understand the investment.

Um she's not asking for any waivers.

And we may not like, but it does meet all the code requirements.

So that's where I'm gonna leave it.

Thank you, Commissioner Klarski.

Commissioner Gibson.

Um first questions for staff.

There are a lot of alleged violations, but then this was on consent.

Am I missing something?

Uh the the reasons on the consent of the staff is supporting the the application.

Uh it it includes just the use use permit for the for the gas station.

That's because the uh distance is less than 200 feet from a residential use.

Um that's why it's in front of you tonight.

And then the design review is for the national development of the site.

Okay.

Next is crime.

This is a vacant piece of property with an abandoned building.

Correct.

I mean, what I know of vacant buildings, abandoned buildings, ban abandoned property is they breed crime, they breed homeless, um, and they draw down property values.

So you know, to defunct public opinion, and I do appreciate people voicing their opinions, but to me the best thing to do with this property is put some functional thing on it.

And I know you've gotten a lot of pushback for that.

Um I can agree that uh that a convenience store may have more crime than a auto paint and repair facility.

Um it's gonna be open 24 hours a day, but nevertheless, you have a right to build either one.

So with that said, I can improve this project.

Thank you, Commissioner Gibson.

Commissioner Stone.

Thank you, Mr.

Chair.

Um let's talk about traffic.

Juan, Sarah, we'll just kind of go with me here.

So this project fronts Tropicana Avenue.

And uh I'm here as a planning commissioner tonight, but in general, or east-west arterial streets in Las Vegas generally operate on a daily basis at 30 to 50,000 trips per day.

Depends on which street you're talking about.

Same in the north south.

So the traffic is here.

Where do we want general commercial?

We want them on or adjacent to our Trial Streets.

Why is that?

It mitigates the traffic.

That's where our uh impact fees go to uh construct traffic signals.

Um interesting.

I I don't normally think about economics related to projects, but one of the uh folks in the audience mentioned you know, cost and and you know, where do you think we build these roads from?

It's from gas tax.

Okay, not one or two cents gas tax, but it's substantial.

I don't know if it's what it is lately.

Is it 80 cents a gallon?

Is it a dollar a gallon?

I don't know, but it's in that range.

So, you know, we need gas stations, and they they pay for our infrastructure, our surface infrastructure, and that's an important thing to me.

Um, I happen to find convenience stores very convenient in a way.

Um, you know, and I like them when they're on the arterials.

I don't want them in a neighborhood.

Um as it relates to let's say gas vapor or smells, what do you think 30,000 cars a day produce on Tropican in terms of particulate?

PM 10 numbers are are probably much higher there than they are in other uh neighborhoods.

Um hydrocarbons are probably higher.

Uh dare I say I don't think the existence of a gas station here will increase or decrease.

I don't think we even have that data.

Uh that that's that's I kind of view opinions differently than data.

And I don't historically we don't see that data as being what the uh some of the folks in the neighborhood have suggested.

I'm not saying they're wrong, I'm just saying we we look to to data.

Um an abandoned property also uh it's been abandoned for how long applicant would you say?

The neighbors would probably know better than I would.

A good handful of years, I think.

A year?

No, I think how long's it been abandoned or vacant?

About a year.

Okay.

So you know that's the first step uh with the term that we hate to talk about around here, and that's urban blight or urban decay.

That's the first, and I'm not an expert at that, but that that's what we generally see is the is the first linchpin in a neighborhood changing for for the worse.

And I think uh a C store, this in this case, this is a Maverick, which if you is it Maverick Murphy, Murphy's.

Um you know, having people having people in an area like this, I think is a good thing.

I think it'll prevent crime.

Um, and so I'll be supporting this application.

I do appreciate what the uh the neighbors said, but I just disagree with them in this case.

Thank you.

Thank you, Commissioner Stone.

Commissioner Reuteman.

Thank you, Chair.

So I'm zoomed out here a little bit on Google Maps, and right down the way from here I see an arco on Tropicana and Pecos.

And then just like half a block from there behind the sprouts, I see a Sam's Club gas station.

And I use the measuring tool there, and all of these are well within 800 meters of these neighborhoods that we're talking about.

And when I scroll up and I go to the next major road on Flamingo, there's a shell right there.

And then if you go down Tropicana a little bit to Spencer, there's a 7 Eleven right there on Tropicana.

And if you get to the corner of Maryland Parkway and Tropicana, there's a Circle K and two chevrons.

And if you go up to Flamingo right there on Maryland Park, on Maryland Parkway as well, there's a Arco and a Chevron.

And the point I'm trying to make is not that any of us want to live behind or near a gas station, but that when you live in the middle of a city, oftentimes we do.

And when you live next to a commercial zone, there is the likelihood that that's gonna be there.

And I don't think it's possible for us as a commission to say we can't put a gas station on the Tropicana Boulevard.

Uh because there's some folks living in the neighborhood who are organized, admittedly, and are fighting for what they want.

And again, I'm not a doctor.

Um, but I think this is something that many people in our community are dealing with.

Um so for that reason, and the others that the commissioners up here have talked about tonight, I can support this application.

Thank you, Commissioner Royman.

Commissioner Kirk.

Thank you, Mr.

Chairman.

Just a couple of things.

I'm not gonna reiterate any of the things that my commissioners, my fellow commissioners have already said, but I do have a couple of items, just questions.

Uh well, a statement, first of all.

This is a very metropolitan area.

I mean, 30,000 cars a day on TROP.

It's one of our busiest streets in the valley.

And uh I think that's significant.

If it was a small little street, you know, then it would make a big difference.

But that's not this that's not this neighborhood.

Um the other um thing, tell me about uh about what is the distance from the north wall, your property line to the building.

I think that's on let me go through and see if I can find it on one of the planets.

I think it was like 300 feet.

I think it was around 300.

Football field.

360.

336, thank you so much.

It's about 336.

So 336 feet.

Okay.

Yeah, it's on there.

So that's good.

And you're gonna put lights on that northern uh parking lot area, or what are you gonna do with that parking lot area?

Uh a use could come in for that at some future date.

So they would subdivide then?

Are you saying?

Potentially, yes.

But in the meantime, or if that doesn't happen, the condition requires us to light that back parking lot, but not inappropriately so that it goes to the north.

They just didn't want it dark.

Okay.

Thank you.

Is there any um has there been any discussion about on-site security or perhaps sharing security with other uh neighborhood businesses there?

And since we're gonna be open, it's 24 hours, right?

It is 24 hours.

I can't speak to whether or not they've had any conversations with the commercial property over here.

Um I know that Murphy per shift has a couple of employees per shift, in other words, it's not just one, they usually have three or four, okay, is my memory.

Um, and so plus we have on-site security cameras, um, we have multiple employees on shifts, so we kind of make sure that we handle our issues on our property.

And then uh my final item is uh I think in the you show uh access off TROP yes to your butt's not guaranteed.

That's is that correct?

That's right.

Um, Tropicana is controlled by NDOT.

And so how long is it gonna be before you anticipate an answer from N DOT?

As to whether or not you're gonna give an access.

I was not part of it.

I am told that um one of the applicants consultants met with NDOT already on the idea of getting uh a curb cut here um and that uh the answer was not no.

So they're gonna it's sort of which do you go with first?

Is this use even seek approval from this body?

Because we need to kind of know what what the county's thinking before we go back and say, okay, we've got approval in hand, let's have further discussions about getting this driveway off of Tropicana.

Okay.

Um what's the scenario if you don't get the curb cut?

Uh if if we don't get the curb cut off of Tropicana, I do not know what Murphy does in that case.

Murphy's your builder or your Murphy is the yeah, the gas station company.

Uh you couldn't go forward with the collision company, I guess if this doesn't apply, is that right?

I mean, it's possible.

You haven't I suppose it's again, I don't know because that was a year ago that they were gonna move forward with that, and we were told that's not the kind of use that we want to see here.

So if for some reason this went away, would they go revisit those conversations?

Probably so a little uh odd.

I mean, the I know we're trying to get ahead of the game here, but without it almost seems like we have well, maybe we have a project.

I mean, maybe we're gonna approve something that will be built uh because maybe we're not gonna get approval for a curb cutoff trop, and your project goes away.

So all this, all this anxiety and all this stuff that the neighbors are going through could be for not.

And that's I I find that problematic.

I would I wish we had a full application that we knew it was going to happen.

We could vote on something completely substantial and we know what's going forward.

Now what we're voting on is something about well, we may both move forward.

We kind of feel like we're gonna get it, but we're not 100% certain.

So if it doesn't happen, then we're gonna be back with the collision company or something else.

Um anyway, I and I wish it wasn't like that, but nonetheless, that's what we have before us, and I'm okay with the project.

Uh realizing that uh it may not be built, but uh I'm gonna move unless anybody has anything else.

I'm gonna make a motion.

Is that okay?

No, I also know no commissioner Cork.

Please and all we're voting here is the uh holdover vacate and abandon 11 12, which is the use permit in 13.

No, it's just 11.

Oh, 11 and 12, my bad.

Sorry.

Sorry, sorry, thank you.

So I'll just move uh for approval of VS 250830.

That's item number 11, and UC 250831.

And would that include the additional with the conditions you've included in with staff approved conditions?

Thank you, Commissioner Kirk.

There's a motion on four motion on the floor, cash your vote.

That most and passions.

Thank you.

Good luck.

This is final action unless appealed.

Next on the agenda tonight is items uh 18 through 21, which are companion items, and we'll be heard together.

Item 18 is PA 257054, plan amendment to redesignate the existing land use category from urban neighborhood UN, compact neighborhood CN, and mid-intensity suburban neighborhood MN to quarter mixed use CM on 2.44 acres, generally located south of Pioneer Avenue and east of Decatur Boulevard within Paradise.

Item 19, ZC 250855, a zone change to reclassify 1.99 acres from RS20, residential single family 20 zone to CG commercial commercial general zone, uh generally located south of Pioneer Avenue and east of Decatur Boulevard within Paradise.

Item 20, VS 250856, vacate abandon a portion uh a portion of right of way being Decatur Boulevard located between Spring Mountain Road and Pioneer Avenue, a portion of rightway being Pioneer Avenue located between Decatur Boulevard and Frontier Street, and a portion of driveway being Frontier Street located between Spring Mountain Road and Pioneer Avenue within Paradise.

And finally, WS 250857, waivers of development standards for the following.

One reduce parking lot landscaping, two reduce buffering and screening, three, modify residential adjacency standards, and four allow modified driveway geometrics.

Also design review for proposed shopping center on 2.89 acres in a CG commercial general zone, generally located south of Pioneer Avenue and east of Decatur Boulevard within Paradise.

All right, so before we get started, let me just do one quick little thing here.

So the applicant and the company I work for sometimes work on the same project, but I don't have any interest in this project.

I'm allowed to run the meeting and vote on it.

Yes.

All right, thank you.

All right, so name an address for the record and tell us about your application.

Good evening, Sheldon Collin, 2140 East Pebble Road, representing the applicant.

As in front of you is a new project we're proposing, and it's for a roughly 51,000 square foot uh retail restaurant project.

And as we were designing this, uh we took into consideration what is pretty much up and down many corridors, and that is as you drive through, you see the retail signs, you see everything fronting the major street.

Uh what we attempted with this project is really to avoid a lot of that and uh have all the storefronts really facing inside uh from uh view, so then there won't be this um majority of signage facing outside and becoming a nuisance.

So we um have provided in front there is uh parking surface parking, and in back of this project is a proposed two-story parking structure.

Uh currently we have overparked the site, but we are within the code limits.

And in an attempt, um, you can see the landscape plan uh around the project.

We were in consideration of the different homes behind here, so we made an attempt to lessen their impact and uh provided some renderings, and you can kind of see what the projects uh intended to look like.

And in this uh rendering, you'll see what it would look like from the back.

We have provided a slat system which would then shield the neighbors as much as we can from cars, and also uh we were required and provided double row of trees back there.

Uh the project will have constant security to prevent any vagrants or anybody from uh continually hanging around the property, especially in back where there's trees, and we um are making every attempt to lessen the impact of the neighbors.

We did have a neighborhood meeting, which we had uh about a dozen people show up, and we had probably half of them for it, half of them against it.

Uh we had some very good feedback.

Uh they were concerned about um uh traffic behind the project, but in the same breath, they wanted a bigger project, so I'm I can't really um contradict each other on that.

Um, but we have uh worked closely with staff and the commissioner's office in an attempt to come up with what you see in front of you, and I am here to answer any questions.

Thank you very much.

All right, so at this time I'm gonna open this application up for a public hearing, and anyone in the audience that want to speak on this item, please come down and do so.

And I want to thank this gentleman for his patience and also participating in the process.

Um, and so name and address for the record, and then uh now you can have your comments, sir.

Hi, uh good evening, commissioners.

My name's Mark McIntyre, M C I N T Y R E 3408 Wilmont Street.

Um I live on the corner of Pioneer and Wilmot.

I've been in Las Vegas for about 68 years, and I've lived in this neighborhood for 31, and I'm really happy to see that it's going to be redeveloped into the new Asian district.

But I do have some problems with there's no infrastructure in this neighborhood.

This is like living out in Peromp.

You know, it's the Las Vegas Spring Mountain estate.

It's a very, very old neighborhood in the southwest.

So it has no sidewalks, no street lights.

The little house across from this project, caught on fire on the corner of Frontier and Wilmont and took like seven pumpers to try to put it out, and it was a one-bedroom house.

So there's got to be a lot of things change in this neighborhood.

And my biggest problem with it's regardless, it's gonna be a lot of traffic that's gonna be diverted through this little neighborhood from Desert End Road from Decatur from Spring Mountain.

It's there's no other place in the whole city that's got those three major arterials surrounding it.

It's been I did a little development years ago when I first moved in there, and I was hoping that it would be redeveloped then.

So I'm actually happy to see this happening.

I'm probably the only one in the neighborhood that actually wants to see this happen.

But Frontier really concerns me.

You know, that it's just if you look at the elevation there.

What kind of transitioning are we doing here from you know uh commercial mixed use into uh suburban neighborhood?

It it doesn't seem like it's transitioning correctly like that.

It needs to be more like the arch district, where they shouldn't the neighborhoods gonna have traffic like crazy coming through it anyway.

Might as well open it up to where Frontier is part of this project instead of Skid Row back there because you're gonna have semi-trucks back there parking, you're gonna have homeless people, they're gonna be constantly calling the county trying to get them to move out of there because I do it regularly now at the end of Frontier and Spring Mountain and at the end of my street, uh Wilmot and Spring Mountain, it's big problem.

So it's very much of a concern there the way it's the parking garage is the buffer.

And then there's uh upstairs on the parking garage that could be used for cultural events and the noise factor from that.

Plus, I heard there's gonna be a nightclub in there, so it's gonna be a 24 hour project or pro uh property.

So anyway, I'll I'll cut it there, but there's a lot of uh I want to see it go through.

I want to see it pass.

I actually I was the one that wanted to see it go.

Why not make it entertainment mixed use, you know?

Go you know, the full Monty.

But the way they're gonna have this parking garage on Frontier, nobody's gonna want to develop anything more, and then you're gonna have blight on one side of Frontier, and the project that you know they're proposing is it's not gonna what do you call it?

It's not gonna mix like the arts district did where they make it where people can walk and bike.

It the traffic is it's not gonna decrease.

There were mixed use is supposed to make people want to be walking and not being dependent on cars and stuff.

So I'd like to see more of that kind of a project.

So I I think you actually should turn at 90 degrees or 180 facing frontier instead of and put the parking garage on Decatur and have entrances all the way around it.

But anyway, I know it's gonna go through.

I would just like to see it more of a good you know mix into the neighborhood so that more growth could come into the neighborhood and you know grow the Asian district.

It's screaming for it.

But anyway, thanks for your time.

And I'm like the only one that's gonna say this, but go ahead and move it on.

Just please address some of those issues that I spoke about.

I'd like to hear some answers to it.

Thank you.

Thank you very much for your comments.

Um, what I'll do is I'll um is anyone else in the audience like to speak on this item?

All right, seeing no one else coming out down.

I will close the public hearing and I will open up for our commissioners.

I got one light down here, Commissioner Kalarski.

I just want to make a comment.

Uh um, do you have an overhead so we can see an overhead so we can see the houses that Mr.

McIntyre is referring to?

And then if I can just see what you have going up against Frontier.

I don't really show the houses.

Um, what he's referring to is over here.

There's some houses right here.

I don't I don't know.

I think he's further down, but I think he's also really concerned about these houses right here.

Is there a signal staff on Pioneer and Decatur?

Is there a median where people cannot make a left from Pioneer onto Decatur?

There is a median, but there is not a signal.

Okay, so they have to at the forced right it's a forced right.

Okay, so if people wanted to go up to um or go go to Spring Mountain, they have they're essentially being forced to go onto Frontier so that they can uh or they go to Decatur and then do a U-turn on Decatur and then go back up to Spring Mountain.

That doesn't bode well.

Um I don't know.

I I don't know how to fix that.

I wish I did.

The only thing that I can say is thank you for being here.

I heard your cut your comments at town board, and my only suggestion is just to ensure that uh Commissioner Jones is aware of your concerns and he because this is gonna go up to him.

We're just recommending, and so that he knows your concerns and and uh he can address them with you and so with that I will leave that.

And so with that, I will leave that.

Thank you, Mr.

Chair.

Thank you, Commissioner Klarski.

Commissioner Gibson.

Yeah, can you uh pull up your site plan, please?

Okay, so there is no access onto Frontier, it's pioneer indicator and I mean it does look like you've got plenty of sidewalks because the gentleman was concerned about that.

The other note I took down from his statements was the n is there gonna be a nightclub in there.

Uh not to our knowledge, but we have not leased the project, you know.

It's still moving forward.

I don't want to mislead you and say for sure no, for sure, yes.

Um and I'm sure if we did uh there would be a limit on the hours and yeah, okay.

I mean, I think the building is absolutely beautiful, and I do like the design, how you've kept it internal, so even if there was a nightclub, I think that would somewhat be um help the sound not invade the neighborhood, but um thank you.

All right, um I don't see any other lights.

I I'll just say that I can support the application.

I I I appreciate the the um the the neighbor coming out and and and providing his comments and the commissioner will have those because it's on the record.

Um I I think I also think it's a nice design.

Um, you know, I'm not a big brain, so I don't think I could do any better.

So I appreciate that.

And then I'll turn it over to Commissioner Mohica.

Vice Chair Maker.

Um is this the old Kmart?

No.

It's okay.

All right, for some reason I thought it was it.

What's what's there now?

Empty land, empty land and uh some houses.

Okay, I too like the fact that it's in the center, and then the parking lot and the landscaping is around.

But I I do want to address the gentleman's concerns, and there's gotta be a solution, or there's got to be something that could be done about that.

You had a few concerns, which ones are those.

Well, the one that Commissioner Kalarski alluded to discuss.

Uh though you know, uh well, first of all, of course, infrastructure is uh always a concern in the valley.

Well, that was the second concern, so yeah.

Yeah, so um, of course, as you know, we would be required to bring in whatever's needed.

We wouldn't, you know, tap off of a little box in the back there.

Um, and as uh Mr.

Gibson pointed out, there is uh new streets required or new um sidewalks around the whole property to bring up the development, uh um the county commissioners' requirements and all that.

So it would be a uh a large uh investment in the surrounding streets.

Of course, it would only be on this side of the street, and the future development would then be required to improve the other side of the streets, which of course would then really only be frontier because the other part is uh residential.

So I too think it's it's beautiful, it's beautiful design.

Uh there was a lot of thought that went, you can tell there was a lot of thought that went into it.

Um but I so I'm going to approve this, but uh, and I don't know how to word us, but I don't know if it's a condition or a request.

Uh that you give us your word that you please work with the gentleman and address some of his concerns, especially before he goes to Commissioner Jones.

Um, because I'm sure there's something that could be done.

Is it gonna cost a little bit more money?

Perhaps, I don't know.

But but I do I do want to address and like you said, some of the concerns will be addressed, like infrastructure that he brought up in the sidewalk and all that.

So that that may be just a check mark.

Uh but the other things I would really like him to be part of the process.

So go ahead.

Chair Mohika?

Yes.

If I just interject for a moment.

Uh one thing that was brought up uh was the uh possibility of a of a of a nightclub at this location.

Um according to the code, um it would have to be at least 500 feet away from uh any residential area, and that can't be waived or varied.

So this would not be a location that would be available for uh for a nightclub.

So so that that answers one of the one of the neighbors' questions.

Yes, thank you.

So go ahead.

I think to say it would be a nightclub, it's more of a restaurant that would maybe stay open till 12 or 1, not not necessarily a nightclub.

So you know, staff's correct, we would be limited on what that use would allow.

Okay, and that's on record now, right?

So okay.

So I will uh so yes, if you could please work with him and and address some of his concerns, and you know, and maybe we can tackle three out of the four that he has, but something to that effect.

Um, name and address for the record and tell us about your application.

Thank you.

My name is Ben Super, 3585 West Diablo Drive, Las Vegas, Nevada, 89118, and our family does own the property.

Um this is a site plan of the site plan of the uh property.

We we have a we have a uh mattress company right now, goodnight mattress in suite A, and they're asking for permission, which is an existing yard.

It's about 500 square feet.

Um, as I'm showing with my finger.

So right now the the just the distance the distance to the closest houses.

I did the printout.

So from from the yard to the to the houses over here is approximately 200 and 270 feet, and from the yard to the ones across the street is approximately 80 feet.

Um we are doing our very best to keep the property clean.

We just put in a brand new sign, and you can see it's a nice clean line with the landscaping.

Um I have another picture of the building I'd like to share.

This is a picture of you going down the street looking at the building, and then I have um one looking directly at the yard that we're that's existing that we're asking for permission to keep.

And you can see the screening that we put in.

You can see the yellow garbage can garbage container.

And then this is a picture of the yard looking at the the roll-up door.

So you can see the kinds of stuff that he is doing in the yard, and this is looking at it to the streets across the way.

So he does have the yellow garbage container looking at the houses, and then we do have a clean property going down the middle.

Here's uh one more picture of the property.

Um, so it does look clean with the cars in the middle on each side, and then um what one thing that we did discuss at the town board meeting was that our our building was was constructed first.

We actually built the building in 1997, and then the houses that were across the street were built in 2020, and then the east side houses were built in 2004.

So we would like to ask for your consideration to allow us to keep the the yard so that he can operate.

Thank you very much.

Um I'd like to open this application up for a public hearing.

Anyone in the audience like to speak on this item, come down, uh name name and address for the record and provide your comments.

Thank you.

Hi, good afternoon.

Hector Munoz, uh 6519, Mount Palmer Court, Las Vegas, Nevada, uh 9156.

Um I'm the business owner from Goodnight Mattress.

We're the ones that are located on the on the on the east on the wet east side property where it's located next to the um to another commercial properties on the other side is connected to um that's the new houses that they build.

So we're on the side where there's next to the commercial um the storage area, which we don't need it's not for storage, it's only for um is to have the 40 yard uh dumpster in because we we produce so much trash, you know.

So we don't because uh before it was before it was cover, um people would just go and see the dumpster and would start dumping uh mattresses on us for no reason.

So we always try to, you know.

Um we've been there for over 15 years.

Um they build the houses after we after we were there.

Uh we try to keep the property clean as much as we can.

Um the only other thing that we do have uh we put uh the art truck or one of the delivery trucks, we put it inside overnight, and then that's where we lock it up, and that's where we leave it at overnight.

And that's all I just uh want to say if you guys could consider the approval of you know, keeping the the open.

Thank you.

Thank you, thank you very much.

Anyone else in the audience want to speak on this item?

All right, all right.

Seeing no one else, I'm gonna close the public hearing.

And before I turn it over to the commissioners, I I I just you know, so I don't have any issue with this application.

Um if if whoever makes the motion, I would I would like to see maybe a review period um on it to come back before so we can monitor it.

But other than that, I'm I don't I don't have any problem.

I'll start with Commissioner Kalarski.

Thank you, Mr.

Chair.

Um I need for you to come back up, please.

I want to see a picture of the it's it's a uh a trash bin.

Is that what it is?

The trash container.

Is that a is that a connects or is that a trash?

It's a it's a standard garbage material that you would write.

And they they pop it out as we week.

Okay, so this is what you're considering.

Oh, I apologize.

Sorry.

That's okay.

This is what you're considering for your as your outside storage.

Is that what we're looking at?

Yes, and then he does have a number of items against the building.

Okay, so the dumpster is your outside storage.

But may I bring up one more picture which might it's always the last one?

No, this is a this is a picture of the storage yard looking at it from the street.

So he has the yellow connex, and then he has those little things behind it, and then he has the roll-up door.

Okay, so when we're talking about it's not screened, does that mean that that fence would have to be higher?

And that's what I'm asking staff.

If it's to be properly screened, does that mean then that the fence would have to exceed eight feet or whatever, it would have to be more like 10 feet?

The the minimum height is uh for a screen fence would be eight feet.

Okay, and so it okay.

Well, like Mr.

Chair, I can support this.

Thank you.

Thank you, Commissioner Klarski.

I'll go to Commissioner Workman.

I agree with the chair that a review period prior appropriate, but I can definitely support this.

All right, and we'll win with uh I'm sorry.

Vice Chair Mayco.

Yeah, so I I understand what Aluna's box is, it's just like a Republic services, so it's actual trash.

You're not storing anything.

Yes, so um, but I did see the but give you put the photo that you had earlier uh of the mattresses along resting along the rolled up door over there.

I I may have left it.

Oh, here we go.

So those mattresses are because I I also understand uh the dilemma that people probably just come and drop stuff off, right?

Yes, but yesterday, yeah.

So um so how come those are not in the trash?

Would I allow Hector to answer because it's his company?

Can I ask him?

Sure.

Um can I get the homeowner to come?

I'm not home, right?

The commercial owner to come back up.

So if the Luna's box is a trash box, which is what it is, and not a storage box.

Why aren't those in there?

Um they should be.

Uh honestly, when they took the picture I was in there, but I mean they should be there.

The day they took the thing.

They're usually never there's no mattresses outside or never we usually always clean.

We always try to keep the the trash can in.

Usually, honestly, when there is trash, um is when is the dumpster's full, yeah, but they don't come and pick it up because it's like um they tell me, oh, we're full today, we we gotta go the next day or whatever.

But there's trash on the bottom.

As soon as they they come and exchange it, we come and put it inside.

We have the guys put it in.

And I understand that.

And the only reason why I keep bringing this up, I don't want to be a dead horse, but it's because the reason why staff denied it is because they referred to it as an outdoor storage, which it's not.

So that's the point I want to make.

So thank you.

Thank you.

Uh thank you, um, Vice Chair Mohica.

So I'll turn it over to Commissioner Kirk.

I don't want to uh give Hector any uh ideas here, but it would have been easier for you to just say the guy who was gonna put those mattresses in the trash bin was at lunch.

I I took these pictures yesterday, he didn't know I was taking pictures.

Listen, we we do not want to uh impede your ability to do a profitable business, but by the same token, we have to and and even though you're there first, I get that part.

We need to try to be good neighbors as best we can.

I know you initially you had two storage areas, now you only have one, which I like that a lot.

Uh the screening.

Uh our let me ask you this.

I guess this is a staff question.

Uh the size of the screening wall.

I heard somebody say eight foot.

So are we are we gonna request an if we approve this?

Are we gonna request an eight-foot cyclone fence with this fabric screen?

Is that what we're gonna request?

So it's actually a code requirement that it be an eight foot tall screen fence and a cyclone's okay.

And sorry, a cyclone fence is fine.

It has to have screening on it.

Yeah, right.

No, I thought I mean screen cyclone fence.

You're okay with that?

Uh absolutely okay.

That's all I care about.

We also welcome a uh a review period like you're saying.

And what we're gonna do, we'd like you to come back uh a review period in a year.

Okay.

Uh let me ask you this.

Have there any complaints from the neighbors?

I haven't.

I I visited with one neighbor, and he was very thankful that we were cleaning it up.

Nice.

So that that was the only neighbor comment.

Yeah, because the pictures you showed do not match the pictures on Google Earth.

I can tell you right now.

We we've been working really, really hard to clean it up.

That's great.

No, I appreciate that very much.

So I will uh move to approve UC 25080 with a one-year review period.

So we're I think we're gonna see you back in 12 months.

Fantastic.

We have to come back in a year.

Very good.

There's a motion on the floor.

Cash vote.

Yeah, yes.

I will do that.

All right.

That's my motion.

All right, that motion passes.

Good luck.

Good luck.

Thank you.

Thank you very much for very appreciative.

This is final action unless appealed.

Next item on the agenda is item 28.

Waiver development uh WS 240424, waiver development standards to increase wall height in conjunction with an existing single family residence on 0.70 acres in an RS20 residential single family 20 zone within the neighborhood protection RP overlay.

You're in a little kid west of Monte Cristo Way and north of Coley Avenue within Spring Valley.

Thank you, Staff.

Um, name and address for the record and tell us about your application.

Good evening, Jennifer Lazovich, 1980 Festival Plaza Drive here tonight on behalf of the applicant who is the owner of this property on Monte Cristo Way.

Uh, by way of background, in during the time of COVID, uh when the applicant was living at the house, he was robbed.

And so as a result of that, um he put up some taller walls around his property, more specifically on the side walls here and then on the front wall, which faced it faced towards Monte Cristo Way.

The application before you tonight is for a waiver to um increase the side walls, but within the front yard setback to a little over seven feet.

This gives you an idea of what it looks like looking north, and then this gives you an idea of what it looks like looking south.

Again, those walls are just um a little over seven feet, but it does require the waiver, which we're here before you tonight uh to get.

Um we think this looks appropriate.

Definitely, if you drive this community, you know that um these walls and certainly they're behind his front wall, so they provide privacy not only for his property, but also for the rear yard of this house on this side and the side yard of this house on the north side.

So we would ask for your um support of this application.

Thank you.

Uh I'm gonna open this application up for a public hearing.

Anyone in the audience like to speak on this application?

Right, right.

Seeing no one coming down, and then I will close the public hearing and open it up for our commissioners.

Any comments, questions?

All right, all right.

Seeing none, I I can I'm sorry, go ahead and vice chair.

It's mine.

Okay, all right.

So seeing no questions, I'll turn over to Vice Chair.

Um I I met with the applicant, and then and I am um it is my understanding that the code has changed, and then we're able to issue the waivers that they're requesting.

So therefore I'm going to go ahead and approve uh item number 28 WS240424.

Um there's a motion on the floor, cash your vote.

That motion carries.

Thank you.

This is final action unless appealed.

Next item on the agenda is item 29.

WS 250734.

Holdover waiver of development standards to allow a six foot high non-decorative fence within the front yard setback in conjunction with an existing single family residence on 0.98 acres in a RS5.2 residential single family 5.2 zone, generally located south of Viking Road and east of McLeod Drive within Paradise.

Thank you.

Name an address for the record and tell us about your application.

Sure.

Uh Tai Yin Yang, 3095 East Viking Road, 89121.

So we ended up putting up a fence that was six feet.

Uh tall, non-decorative.

Um within um the uh require setbacks more than 50 feet off the the house.

That sounds good.

Um we appreciate the photos.

Um I I'll take this um opportunity to open this application up for a public hearing.

Anyone in the audience like to speak on this item?

All right, seeing none, I will close the public hearing and I'll turn to my commissioners.

Commissioner Gibson.

Yeah, I'm just gonna say I like it.

Looks good.

Thank you.

Is that your motion?

I'm sorry, go ahead, Commissioner Commissioner Kalarski.

Thank you, Mr.

Chair.

This is much better than the original.

I really really like it, and um it meets all the requirements, so I'm very appreciative of your taking the time and doing that.

I am going to move to approve WS 25-0734 as submitted with staff if approved conditions.

All right, the motion on the floor, cash your vote.

The motion carries.

Thank you.

Have a good luck.

Thank you.

This is final election unless appealed.

Next item on the agenda is item uh 30, WS250785.

Hold over waiver of development standards to reduce the rear setback for a proposed balcony conjunction with an existing single family residence on 0.50 acres in an RS20 residential single family 20 zone within the neighborhood protection RP overlay.

During located north of Kraft Avenue in east of Jace Canyon Canyon Court within Lone Mountain.

Um so name and address for the record and tell us about your application.

Juan Alvarado, uh 4768, Jace Canyon Court.

Um I'm sorry.

Oh it's upside down.

Um here last time uh I was here.

I was supposed to get with my neighbors and uh talk about uh my project with this uh with the patio with the the balcony, and uh we did have a pretty amicable meeting, and uh I'll talk about that uh in in a second, but if I may first I would like to this is uh our home right here.

Um this would be Lone Mountain, and this would be Craig right here, and that's Fort Apache.

Um I drove around two streets this way and two streets this way, and I just wanted to show you some of the houses that were in the area in our neighborhood with the balconies.

Mind you, only two streets one way and two three streets the other way.

These are all newer and older houses, not just older houses that already existed.

There's a couple in here that are still under construction.

These are all different houses, none of them is a repeats.

This this house right here is a little bit further away, but you know, I just wanted to just show it also.

This one has a second story, first story, second story, and an observation or balcony on top of the third story.

So after I came home, I grabbed a 10-foot ladder, and I got right where the patio is going to be, which is oh this way, which is right here.

So I stood right here with this on 10 foot ladder as tall as I could, I mean as high as I could, holding the phone, you know, safely without uh being you know risking of falling over.

And as you can see, that's the roof line of the house.

So you can see I got up pretty high.

So if you see you could see the the the houses behind, it's it's not that much of a view, but you know, you can see them.

I I'm basically if I was in my if I was in what what is proposed, there would be a wall right here around at least a three foot wall surrounding it.

So if I was sitting in there, I would see less than what I'm looking at now on that ladder, and that's facing the other way on the ladder to the other side of the houses.

So what I did is I come down off the ladder and I walked to the edge of the property.

I'm just keep moving it, sorry.

This is right here.

I would be standing right.

This is still the property.

I would be standing right here, and I took my camera, which is about right on my face level, and I pointed it over to there.

That's what that's what I would be looking at right now.

What that's what I can see if I look over there without the balcony, and that's to the other side.

I can see into the neighbor's house right there, also, which I could have a much better view just standing there than if I would be on my balcony.

There's also a house, you can't really see it right there on that on this view, but there's also a house that's across the the Lone Mountain way that's pretty much.

Oh, sorry, getting all mixed up here.

Anyways, that house is across the way from this.

Oh, there it goes.

This is this house right here.

Is right here.

This balcony right here is pretty much overseeing this house right here.

And that's uh across Lone Mountain.

So uh getting going back to our our conversation that I had with our neighbors, um, they it was a very amicable conversation, and they uh obviously they're they're worried about their privacy.

But as you can see, I'm not taking their privacy away from them.

They gave their privacy away when they decided to buy that home.

I'm I'm basically uh taking view away from them, you know, by doing what I want to do.

So I'm not really impeding on their privacy.

They they they they I don't know if they knew what they were getting into when they decided to buy that house.

As you can see, I'm pretty high above them.

So I mean, my neighbor, I mean, I feel bad, but he keeps his his blinds directly behind me.

He keeps his blinds on, you know, the neighborhood, the family keeps their blinds closed all the time because of their privacy because I've got you know our we can see so clearly into their house.

So um yeah, that's I just wanted to.

I mean, I commissioner Velarski um she approved the the or she was okay with the um with uh the project that my neighbor did, you know, with the the setback, which was what the the what I was asking for is for the to be able to to have the setback, and she was okay with that last time, if I remember correctly.

So separating that from the privacy issue, um I just would like you guys to consider you know uh approving the the patio the the way the way I was would like to submit it that concludes your I can show I can show you the the put put up the the privacy or the the pictures where we they could you can see how what the the reduced you can compare with the patio and uh with me being on the ladder and me just walking to the edge these two are just me we walking to the edge and this one's me being on a 10 foot ladder up with my hands in the air this one this one is like I said, here's the roof line, so you can see how high I got to be able to get an accurate picture.

Um, I I just would like you guys to consider you know uh approving the the patio the the way what the way I was would like to submit it that concludes your I can show I can show you the the put put up the the privacy or the the pictures where we they could you can see how what the the reduced you can compare with the patio and uh with me being on the ladder and me just walking to the edge these two are just me we walking to the edge and this one's me being on a 10 foot ladder up with my hands in the air this one this one is like I said here's the roof line so you can see how high I got to be able to get an accurate picture like I said I I'm not taking their their privacy away they gave that up when they decided to buy that house that concludes your presentation okay very good all right so so thank you for that um I'm gonna take this opportunity to open this application up for a public hearing anyone in the audience like to speak on this application all right seeing any seeing no one I will close the public hearing and I'll open it up to commissioners for any comments or questions of the of the applicant all right seeing seeing no one jumping up Commissioner Kalarski yeah let me just clarify what you're asking you're just asking for the patio you're not asking for the observation deck anymore am I correct on that or did I misunderstand you I I would still like the observation deck the the I I that that I'm I'm still on plan B and I would like to just you know try to my hardest I can to go with that's I'm sorry with plan A before I go to plan B and that that solves so many issues between me and the neighbor directly behind us and also to a to some degree the neighbors on both sides um I think they're just not understanding that you know the the the full view of of what it's gonna be at the end they they think that I'm gonna have more uh accessibility to to their backyard when it's actually the opposite I can't have more accessibility than I already have by putting the patio up the the only people that I would affect are the people directly behind me and they are 100% okay with it they don't have a problem with it at all they're the ones that did give me the letter right away okay so what you want then is the whole thing patio and the observation I'm open to suggestions and I told my it was like I said it was a very amical conversation and I said I'm willing to work with if anybody has any problems with with anything and they have any suggestions I'm open to suggestions on anything that you know it would work for for everybody.

You know I don't want to be that neighbor but I don't think it's fair that that that I should have to go without so they can to appease them when they think they're that that well I don't want to say it that way but sounds sounds bad but they're they've already lost their privacy they don't they don't have any privacy with it in so many well you're being higher on an observation deck does take away their privacy and with that I'm just gonna leave it okay I'm not gonna argue with you on this so I'm thank you Mr Chair um uh Commissioner Workman uh as far as the setback and putting in what your neighbor has I think that almost solves the privacy issue for both of you uh right because if you're sitting in the backyard in in your patio behind the wall then they can't see you and now you can't like you showed in the pictures how how it already is you can't see them I understand your point that given how it is now without the setback and the additional patio wall that that your neighbor already has that being on the observation deck is basically the same.

However I do think that if you if they were I think you call it plan B or option B that option B does strike the balance between putting a wall in that prevents them from watching you while you're having little gathering on your patio um which and you from watching them when you're behind the wall in the patio having your little gathering but allowing the observation deck might make that a almost unilateral where should you want to go on the observation deck then you have the same view not that you want to but if you want to be up there then you have the same view more or less or close to it that you did before where they are blocked from you know so I I do think it's a good solution and but I I could support either one honestly but I I do think it's a good solution to um to put in the same thing that your neighbor has without the deck so that way both you and your neighbor get uh some amount of privacy so uh thank you thank you commissioner workman I I I can I can second that that um sentiment you have I'll I'll turn it over to Commissioner Gibson you know as a county we put forth a lot of ordinances and sometimes there's just these unintended consequences with government I'm not a fan of these screen walls that we instead of doing a complete concrete wall we do a screen wall which then gives more visibility in situations like this.

You know, as a county, we put forth a lot of ordinances, and sometimes there's just these unintended consequences with government.

I'm not a fan of these screen walls that we instead of doing a complete concrete wall, we do a screen wall, which then gives more visibility in situations like this.

That is not your fault.

But when you were up here last time, your big focus and your point was your privacy, your privacy, your privacy.

And then we started talking about an observation tower.

I love your patio, and I love the entertainment wall you're putting up so that your neighbors can't look into your sliding glass doors.

You can set back there, have a cocktail, smoke a cigar, have your own privacy from that entertainment wall.

But there is no way without like I ask you to get those letters, that tells me those neighbors that are the most impacted are not okay with this.

And I have to, I don't have to, but I will respect that.

So I am more than willing to approve this for a patio cover, but no stairs, no observation deck.

And I've already talked to staff, they will allow you to the minimal of redlining some stuff so that you can get forward doing this rather than have to completely resubmit and redraw.

Is that something you would be applicable to?

I know it's not what you want.

Well, I mean, I'm trying to make lemonade out of lemons.

I I I really am.

I mean, it's I I don't want to sound wrong or bad, or but um we we've we've spent a lot of money into this house.

You know, this is our forever home.

We we plan on living there for the rest of our lives, and we want to make it our home.

And we we moved into this neighborhood because we didn't want an HOA, we didn't want somebody telling us what to do with our with our property, you know, too within within reason.

Um I would I'll change I I would still want to do a second story so I can have the view, so I can so I can still appreciate you know what we what we bought that house for.

Um am I still open if if I put it in a different spot, uh if I put it in a different spot, I won't be doing the patio because that's just the the property is not big enough for so many structures.

If I have that there, and then I have something over here, and it it's the the way that the yard is designed, it's it's at you know it's at an angle, it's just it it would be just too many structures everywhere.

Um I I would have to try to design something to to do that privacy, but uh like I said, it's it's just that this is just optimal you know solution for everybody.

And and like I said, even for the neighbors, even for the neighbors, even with with that patio and the wall on the on the on the balcony, I would that they would have more privacy than what they have then than now.

It look what exists I can't change.

What exists, I have no control over that was done.

But what I do have control over is what is being asked to do, and again, I'm trying to work with you here.

I understand.

I want to give you the entertainment wall to give you your cover patio, to give you that privacy, but I there's no way I'm moving forward with the stairs or the observation deck.

I'm sorry.

Because of the location of that I don't care where it is.

Even if I even if it's some some but so how I'm sorry, I don't mean to sound wrong, but how come it's okay for my neighbor two streets a street over or actually a house over to the room?

I didn't approve that.

If they were coming in front of me today, I would have the same conversation with them.

There's I mean, the I just don't think it's fair that ever other people are approved for a balcony.

I mean, I I get it.

Okay, so you don't put it here, but can I approve, can I get one put one somewhere else if I put put it uh attached to the garage?

You could resubmit something else and go back through the process.

You could or or you could hold this again for uh an amount of time and come back with another plan.

Work with stuff.

And I'm sure staff would be more than willing to work with you to try and come up with that.

I mean, one of the reasons you're here is because you're asking for that offset.

I'm sure there's maybe a way to fit something in a different location where you're not needing to do that, and then you're not coming in front of us.

Okay.

Well, I would appreciate that.

Then I'll have to do a whole bunch of sleepless nights and try to come up with something.

But yeah, I would appreciate that uh try to come up with some kind of a solution.

So I guess, sir, my question to you is would you like me to approve the patio?

But if you if it gets approved today, does that is that the end of the process?

Or if you you could still resubmit if you're thinking about moving, just staff correct me.

If I approve this, that doesn't necessarily mean he has to build it, correct?

That's the end of the process.

If we approve it with without the balcony, yeah, yes, then he would have two years to decide if he's gonna build it or not.

If he were to want to redesign and he met code, he technically can just go to the building department.

So for example, if he were to move, so let's say you approve the patio cover, would he move the balcony or the observation deck, attach it to somewhere else if he were to meet the setbacks and the heights and everything per code, he technically would just go straight to the building department.

I'm sorry, but the the setbacks is so far on these houses, and they're so close to the property line that I would have to get if I did that, I would have to get a waiver for the setback behind the garage also because right now the the the way that when they built the house, it was beyond what the code is.

So they had to get a waiver to put the the house there.

So if I if I put it here, if I put the observation there, that then I would have to get a waiver for that one, also because I'm I'm within like that only leaves me like three feet of a patio to or uh of a of a balcony to put there.

So then that I'm just for clarity.

So that means I would have to apply for another setback for that building, or can I just uh use the same setback if I get this approved, use the same same setback to uh across the property to be able to, and then that way I can I can you know submit those plans.

All right, so so look let me interrupt for a second.

So setback is what setback is.

So whatever the setback is, you're in you're encroaching on it on what you've presented here today.

If you move it and you're not within the setback, and then you don't have to have a variance, then you don't come back to us, you just go to the building department like staff was saying.

But if you are improaching on the setback with whatever new design you come up with, then you have to come back before us.

But but but before you before we keep continuing, let me let me let some of the other commissioners speak real quick.

So Commissioner Roy.

And and just to make one clear, you you made the comment earlier.

Why can your neighbor have a second story balcony, but you can't?

It's because I believe I would look at that property, but they didn't need a waiver for the setback.

So you are asking to have a balcony right next to your neighbor's wall, and that's why you need the waiver.

So this isn't us at the board saying, oh, your neighbor can have something you can't have.

You I again I'm not looking at your neighbor's property, but I imagine that their balcony it uh complies with the setback, and I think that's what the chair is saying right now.

If you want to go put it in a balcony that complies that you don't need a waiver for, you can go ahead and do that.

But for this, you need the waiver, and I think Commissioner, I won't speak for anymore, but but that is the point.

I just want to make that clear.

Unless I'm getting something wrong.

Staff, did I screw that up?

Just just you did a great point.

Hold on, hold on, applicant.

That was spot on.

Um Commissioner Kirk, did you add your line on for a minute?

Okay, all right, very good.

Um we'll get we'll get back to you.

We'll give you give me one second.

Commissioner Mohe.

Okay, I think there's one thing that we need to let's take a deep breath and it's back up.

Okay, a little.

Because if we approve your um patio cover today, that's your patio cover.

You cannot put the stairs and you cannot have your viewing thing and the story, no matter what.

I got so if you want if you're set on having your viewing tower and all that, you would have to do it in a place where it doesn't infringe and and and I'll give you a uh recommendation.

Stop saying that your neighbors did what they lost their own privacy when they buy no, that's wrong because you wouldn't want somebody saying that about you.

So please, I was hoping you didn't keep saying it, but you kept saying it over and over again, which kind of set us back.

Okay.

So um, so if you do if you're set on having your viewing tower for 4th of July and all that, I get it.

But you would have to put it somewhere where it doesn't infringe upon your neighbors and you don't need waivers.

And so my suggestion was to work with staff and see if there's a place in your property when this could happen.

Does that make any sense?

But but but this is an entirely different process.

I mean, we're talking one thing.

That's why Commissioner Gibson asked you, do you want me to approve this tonight?

It's it's it's very it's very simple.

We're confusing it too much.

It's very simple.

Do you want the patio cover approved tonight?

Yes or no.

Very simple.

I I get it.

And what my question is is if if I get this uh uh waiver and uh uh the approved today, if it goes through, does that does that waiver go across to where over here across the line to where I can now the the waiver is for the whole property, I guess my question from from uh across the way staff.

Can you help me out there?

Uh so in this zone, uh RS R S 820, correct.

Um there are different setbacks for detached structures uh and for the uh the primary residents.

So he's attaching the patio and the observation deck to the primary residence.

Um option might might be to attach it to the detached garage, which is a detached structure that would that has a reduced rear uh reduced rear setback.

So he could potentially build something there and meet the and meet the setback without having to come back to to you guys.

No, so if I understood correctly, there's a different setback from the D tax garage than there is from the house.

That's correct, right?

Yeah, it isn't we're getting into territory that I would agree with Commissioner Stone, where we're designing at the podium, and this is not what we're supposed to be doing here.

This this is getting really frustrating now.

I'm sorry, I'm just I just need clarity so I know where to go from here.

I don't I don't mean to be difficult.

Okay, I'm ready to make a motion.

Where am I?

Okay, this is item 30, correct?

Yes, motion to deny WS25078.

I'm sorry, I thought you were you were gonna deny it.

No.

I mean, I'm sorry, I thought you were gonna approve it.

You couldn't give me an answer.

We can tell we continue to go back and forth.

We are not designing the podium, but the respect of everybody's time in this room, it's denied.

You can resubmit.

I I misunderstood you, I'm sorry.

I thought you were I thought it was already or you can appeal it to the county commission.

So if I resubmit, I have to pay the all the fees all over again.

Or I mean if you approve it, then I don't have to appeal it.

We'll save time for everybody.

I misunderstood.

You just want to argue with me, and I we all have places to be.

I and I I I I appreciate that.

I just misunderstood really.

I apologize to everybody.

I I thought that we were on the that you had approved it, and we were just talking about the setback because of that's what made me start talking about the setback.

If I agree to that one, or if you'll if you approve that one, then I can do something else over there, and that's why we started talking about the setback.

I apologize.

Can I withdraw my motion?

I will make an a motion to approve this WS 250785 item number 30 for a patio only, no observation tower, no stairs.

All right, motion on the floor, cast your vote.

The motion carries.

Good luck.

This is this is final action unless appealed.

Next items are uh items 32 through 35.

These are companion items and we'll be heard together.

Uh item 32, PA 257052, plan amendment to redesignate the existing land use category for ranch estate neighborhood RN to mid-intensity suburban neighborhood MN on 1.12 acres, generally located north of Smoke Ranch Road and West of Apricot Lane within the Mount Lone Mountain Planning Area.

Thank you, staff.

Name and address for the record and tell us about your application.

Hello, my name is Peter Banyer.

I'm in 5150 Smoke Ranch Road, Las Vegas, Nevada.

And I'm the owner of the land, and uh we are here to uh propose you know uh uh multiple proper you know eight properties at this corner and as um uh Mr.

I mean Commissioner McCurdy instructed uh collecting old uh signatures from the neighbors and uh and since last time I was here I collected even more.

I don't know, maybe it's not super professional, but if you if you put it on there, if you put it on there, it looks good to us, just uh the hearts are the the signed the the signed and and supported neighbors very and then the flower is the land sorry about that that just and and I have all the signatures and I'm here with gentlemen and he's the architect, he knows way more about the details all right.

So before we move forward, because the the applicant you know mentioned um the architect that's here, um the architect that may represent or speak.

Um he and I have worked on projects together, but I have no interest in this project.

Am I okay to run the meeting and vote on it?

Yes, you are.

Thank you.

All right, so moving forward.

Um applicants, I don't think you oh, they just want to show it to us, and then you want us to you want us to decide what's going on.

So I will um open this application up for a public hearing.

Does anyone in the audience want to speak on this application?

Yeah, yes, sir.

Take your time.

Come on up and and and give us your comments.

There's either um the handheld mic might work better for you, or if you can get to that that that's I'll yell into this one.

Okay, okay.

So I need your name and address for the record, and then make us your comments.

Barry B-A-R-R-Y, last name, spelling K-A-T's and Tom, Z and Zebra.

I live at 2510 Apricot Lane, Las Vegas, 89108.

I'm opposed to it.

Uh we only had one neighborhood meeting, and that was some time ago.

And we just got the notices about this.

Uh, not long enough to have any more neighborhood meetings.

So I'm gonna speak.

Uh I'm against it.

The uh I have uh about one year experience, and I've been uh testifying border in court numerous times on traffic.

Uh and the uh apricot lane is as it stands now.

There's easements on both sides, but the the Apricot Lane is a one-lane street, basically.

You have to have one car pull off into the dirt to let another car buy.

And it opens up on Apri on uh uh Smoke Ranch.

Originally, Apricot Lane was a dead end, and they opened it up on Roberta.

And what happens is people use Apricot Lane as a way of getting around the traffic signal on uh on smoke on Smoke Ranch and uh Gator.

Right.

So uh we get a lot of traffic down there, and we also get people test driving their vehicles on the street.

Uh I would say between 50 and 60 miles an hour.

And it doesn't happen often, but it happens enough.

Um this layout here doesn't provide even room for a uh fire truck or an ambulance to turn around.

They have to back out to uh get out of there.

I was thinking outside the outside the box, and uh I came up with an idea.

I got it.

I turned it and I we can see it.

Yes, ma'am.

Okay, so I turned it 90 degrees so that the traffic the access to the main apricot lane smoke ranch, and still remains the same.

All I did was take the thing for around like two degrees.

Now we have everybody parks their cars.

We don't park on the street, very seldom park on the street.

What are they gonna do with all these two five bedroom homes?

How many people are gonna be driving cars?

Number one, number two, nobody parks in their driveway.

I mean, uh in their uh garage, pretty much they have it filled with stuff.

So they park in their driveway, which increases prime uh access the way I turned it around.

I didn't change anything with their square one thing it does do for for my neighbor.

Um my neighbor who was worried about privacy is that the only thing that close to him toward his property is a uh in a closet just uh not conducive with what we have.

We have people riding their horses, my neighbor has horses.

Uh there's uh Lopez, he used to be a head of the uh Mexican rodeo association.

He has probably seven horses, you know.

You can sleep in in his stalls, they're rubber floored and everything, air conditioning, everything.

Uh and then we have uh the person down the street.

They ride horses and a lot of people ride horses on this street here.

So that's what I'm getting at that that the access should be to uh branch and not apricot lane.

All right, sir.

Does that conclude your comments?

Yes, all right.

All right, thank you so much for for that.

Um anyone else in the audience like to speak on this item, yes, ma'am.

Come on down.

Name an address for the record.

Thank you.

My name is Francis Schwartz, S W A R T Z.

I live on Python Dean Avenue.

I go up and down Smoke Ranch all the time.

And what they're requiring those are huge houses.

I have I live on an acre.

They live more a little more than an acre there, and I only have one big house.

And they won't put how many houses?

It's impossible.

I would don't accept this, and nobody asked my opinion about this at all.

Nobody came by.

Thank you, ma'am.

Yes, ma'am.

Name and address for the record.

Uh Margaret Rodriguez, uh 5244 Smoke Ranch Road.

Um, like the other gentleman said we only just received these cards like a few days ago.

And there's some terms on here that I really don't understand, like um allowing for an attached sidewalk.

I don't know what an attached sidewalk is.

And um there's another thing about um vacate and abandon a portion of right away.

I don't know what that is.

And um also when the gentleman came, uh my husband actually signed off on the project, but um, I still don't know how many houses he's gonna build, or if they're gonna be two-story, or my property is right on the edge of where he's gonna build.

Thank you very much.

Name and address for the record.

Hi, Julie Katz, 2510 Apricot Lane, buries my husband.

Um, the reason we're opposing, first of all, two-story houses, ridiculous, and there's gonna be eight on one, was it one point one two acres?

There's not gonna be any yards.

There, you know, where they want to come in and out, it's gonna create too much traffic on our street.

We have people who walk their dogs up and down our street because it's very quiet, and now with the Roberta opening up, there's just traffic going back and forth, back and forth all day long, and they're not going the speed limit, they're going way above the speed limit, you know, and I'm afraid to pull out of my driveway sometimes.

I really have to look.

So if when they want to put where you can go in and out on Apricot Lane, we don't want sidewalks, we don't want curb and gutter.

We're happy the way it is.

It's supposed to be a rural area, we're county.

Okay, so what I'm saying is that I'd like to see if they're gonna have to build them, if you're gonna want to approve it and build it, please turn it around so it comes out on smoke ranch where there's already curb and gutter and sidewalk.

That's simple.

Okay, thank you.

Thank you.

Yes, ma'am.

I'll name an address for the record, please.

My name is Patricia McLean, and I live at 5516 Cleary Court.

Um, I'm right around the corner from the property.

And when this came up about a year ago or so, the last time they were told maybe it would be approved for maybe four to five homes on the property, and they've come back with eight.

I live on a one block long call the sack street.

Ranch houses, very nice, but you get people in there that have not one car, two cars, but then the teenagers start driving.

Where and then grandma and grandpa come and they move in, and you know, where are all these cars gonna go?

Okay, I mean, and that's just cars, but it's such a rural area, um, with all half acre and one-acre lots, predominantly all ranch homes.

This is gonna be a little bubble of an eyesore as you go down smoke ranch, it just does not vote for the area.

So I think it's too many homes or the area, and where I would have never considered it.

I think coming out on Smoke Ranch probably is a better idea because I've been down Apicot Lane and all the way to Roberta at the couple homes they've put down there, and it's with people riding horses around there, um, even up and down Michael.

You know, they ride the horses.

It's just too many.

So that's my copy.

Thank thank you, ma'am.

Anyone else?

Yep.

Name and address for the record.

Good evening.

My name is Luz Almanza, 3308 Teresa Way.

I support the building.

Um, I think it's a good project.

It would it we it's a vacant lot right now, and it has been for a while now, so doing something there will be useful, and it would probably help home values go up since it's gonna add more properties there.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Anyone else?

Name and address for the record, please.

Sandra Flores, 5150 at Smoke Ranch Road.

Unfortunately, this lot has been used for um unsecured in no safety reasons.

They have been dumping trash in there, and um actually we if we can have a developed community that what is uh landscaping, nice yards, maintain yards, sidewalks, lighting, and it can provide ownership and properties that it can be built instead of even spending money because it's being unsafe right now.

And instead of even spending money because it's being unsafe right now, I have children's.

And it has unpermitted vendors out of it that they should not have been there and um illegal activities around that area, homeless people.

So I believe that if we can have and create a safer area for the community, it would be something nice that we can do for the future generations.

So basically that's that, and I hope that you guys consider and thank you for your time.

Thank you.

Anyone else?

Name and address for the record, please.

Raleigh Bautista, uh 27 North Michael Way.

I live right across the corner.

Um I think this will help Property Valley go up for sure.

Um I'm not really opposed to the project.

And I prefer that the I guess the entrance to the community would be on apricot because Smoke Ranch is a very busy street already.

Same thing as like any other street on that side of town.

Um if people were to be pulling out to app uh to Smoke Ranch, it would um I feel like that would cause more dangers for their people rather than just going on to a quieter street.

All right.

Thank you very much for the comments.

Anyone else?

Yep.

Yes, ma'am.

And um name and address for the record, please.

Las Vegas Nevada, 80 89108.

I support that project because uh I see um I understand the people is worried about the traffic goes to the apricot street, but I really understand it's on the corner.

So I I really like the ranches behind the project, but I don't think they're gonna bother all this stuff behind the behind the uh the project because if they have a horses and all that stuff, but I suggest something for that project to go forward.

Uh put us some bump-ups on the street.

So that can speed at a lower speed the the traffic goes into the apricot street.

All right, thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you for your comments.

Anyone else?

Anyone else speak on the item?

Okay, all right.

Well, I'm gonna close public comments.

I'm gonna ask the applicants to come back up.

And I'm sure we're gonna have questions from our commissioners, and um I will start down on my left, seeing no one none on my right.

Um, Commissioner Rockman.

This is mostly for staff, and I think I know the answers, but for the education of everyone here.

Uh, if they go forward and we approve this development, um, something's gonna happen with the street on apricot, right?

If you look kind of further north down that street, it looks like it's a little bit more built out, and there's room for two cars, and there's some sidewalks and gutters.

So maybe someone can confirm for me and for the neighbors who are concerned, admittedly, about traffic and safety and those types of things.

Is that part of the protocol here?

Yes, um, they're showing that they're going to be installing full off sites that includes paving that is adjacent to their property.

Um, they will have to transition the paving from their property to the existing um asphalt that's already out there, but they will be doing improvements along apricot per their plants.

And I just noticed that a little bit to the west from there, there's a development of homes that looks like they have at least six homes on a smaller lot, and then kind of a little bit to the south.

I mean, I'm just looking looking at Google maps here, but it looks to me like this kind of matches a lot of things that are going on there, and that apricot um, although it is a little underdeveloped, you know what again, this is just from satellite images, but I see tons of cars and RVs and trucks uh looks like maybe some containers in that area, and I imagine that this development will uh improve the neighborhood.

So for that reason, um, and taking into concerns, especially with Mr.

Katz, I understand the concerns about the traffic and stuff.

I do think this will improve your neighborhood, and so for that reason I can support the application.

Uh thank you, Commissioner Reutman.

Okay, I got more lights.

Commissioner Kirk.

Thank you.

Just for the audience's information, we are not considering the item before us is having the entrance off apricot.

We are not considering the the entrance off of the some was proposed off a smoke ranch.

So the item that we're gonna vote on is only has the entrance off of apricot.

We're not gonna design your project from the podium.

Even though it may be a good idea, maybe the maybe the developer want to take that back and consider it, depending on how the vote goes.

But um I'm kind of torn.

I'm okay with it.

I think I think the smoke the might be a little small, the lots, but I think it certainly will improve apricot.

They're gonna have to do their half-street improvement, so that's gonna make traffic uh better for sure.

And uh so I I'm tending to agree that I can approve the project.

Thank you.

Thank you, Commissioner Kirk.

Commissioner Clarski.

Thank you, Mr.

Chair.

Excuse me.

I remember this project.

And I remember sales.

Uh the two-story.

I am going to reiterate this one more time.

Two stories are allowed.

They are allowed.

I don't care if it's on an R in an RNP.

If somebody wants to put a two-story, they can put a two-story.

If they want to do it in an RS5,000 square foot lot, they can do that.

Two stories are not something that we will say unless it's possibly adjacent to an RP, and where they're all single story.

That is not the case here.

This is on a corner.

So I would never ever say no two-story.

But I do remember this.

And I do remember that one of the biggest concerns we had was the fact that this is in the middle of a rural neighborhood.

Land use.

Taking this particular corner will start to change what goes on along Smoke Ranch Road.

It will then the zoning comes in, and then we still then we start getting the higher density.

I think we need to leave it alone.

So um, unless you go down to maybe what are we looking at three to four houses, maybe I can't support it.

That would be the only way I could do it.

Thank you.

Commissioner Gibson.

Thank you, Chair.

Um, yeah, I mean, not to go on too much, but I think that traffic stuff gets resolved with the half-street improvement.

My my biggest issue is again going from ranch estate neighborhood to mid-density suburban, which allows up to the eight lots.

Um I'm not gonna be on board with eight, and maybe could get on board with six.

I think the eight's really a push.

So that's pretty much where I stand.

Thanks.

All right, thank you.

So um I'm gonna make a few comments and then we'll then I will allow the applicant to to um maybe give us some some more information.

And just for the neighbors that came out in support and also in opposition, um, when we talk about traffic, um I mean we we have a we have a big plan that's here, and it's just for staff.

Can you just put on a record that um traffic study will be required?

No, for not for this, no traffic study.

Um it does not meet the threshold, and it's not gated, so this one will not require a traffic study.

Okay, so that's even so.

So no traffic study is even required for this for this property.

So um let's see, what else was on my list?

Um I have oh I uh this this was just an interesting thing.

So the young I the young man that came up and spoke about park no one parks in their garage.

I just wanted to state on the record that I live next to my boss, so I park in my garage all the time.

I do not want him to know when I'm home.

But um, but the doc just a little humor.

I I do appreciate everybody participating in the process.

And um, I just want to say that um if the applicant wanted to provide some more information and some more backdrop as to why they're doing what they're doing.

Um, I can support the application, and I do appreciate the applicant.

I mean, for those of you that are may not know that they can they came before us, we we told them to go away and redesign and rework and work with staff, and they've been working with staff for over 13 months to get the plan and and the and the plan amendment and all of this stuff back before us.

So I do appreciate them going through all that process.

So I'm I'll be quiet now.

You guys speak.

Bob try um which one?

Yes.

So I'll try to demonstrate everything as much as I can.

So originally we we planned with Dan, but um, I spoke with the neighbor.

Again, I'm gonna pull up the hard chart.

Okay.

So that the direct neighbor over here, Leo.

Uh he told me said Peter, I support it, but I want to see max eight.

So that's why we designed everything.

We stand and when we are here also, you know, I got mentioned last time that 10 is a little too much, so that's why we reduced the eight already.

Um due to these construction costs and everything, it's it's still it's gonna be very challenging.

But um, what I want to tell you is that I live right here actually.

I live in this, I live like almost next door, and then we used to own this land here with this lot, right?

And um, there's what I can tell you and what my experience, I'm not gonna, I don't want to say that who's telling, you know, what is the realistic or not, or what is the reality or not, but all you see is people just walking, very, very few cars are passing in this area.

And uh that's my like I said, it's my opinion.

I go there, I turn every day, and um that's why on the other side, I don't unfortunately I don't have in this side of the map that they opened it up and they got approved for 12 houses in the end, and they made it very nice, and they opened wide the road in the other side of that, and also there's no traffic in there at all.

So I go and and bicycle with my children, or we run around in that area.

Um, what other thing I wanted to tell you is that what the staff was recommending, Mr.

Ruggles and everyone, or I think that we're gonna have I don't know what's the proper name, but I know we need to have landscaping on both sides uh here.

So that was kind of challenging, but we made it happen with with the staff, and I really appreciate everyone's hard work and also with um okay, yeah.

So yeah, so they made us made us do this to landscape, and you know, we had to pick out the bushes and everything.

So I think it's gonna be definitely it looks the way the land looks right now, it's not really appealing to the community at all.

And uh, like I said, I just ordered dumpster recently for a lot of money because everyone is dumping a lot of trash, and I have like people put cars in there, and I had to like I don't even know how to throw them away because tone companies they don't want to take it.

So I'm constantly dealing with this.

So I'm I'm I'm really hoping we put a lot of work, a lot of effort, a lot of stress with the staff and uh with the public works and everyone, and uh as Mr.

Commissioner Ed knows that we know we we've done a lot.

So I I hope I hope we get this approved and make this nice and yeah, that's all I can tell you.

Thank you so much.

My name is Lars Lohetek.

I'm the residential designer on the project.

Um couple things I want to add to this.

Uh um just addressing the uh the neighbors' concerns about parking.

Um with this layout, with the amount of houses we have on the property, we meet the minimum requirements of parking.

Uh that's required per code, and we also have some uh site parking as well that it's on the side plan and listed.

Um also the traffic part of it.

I I rather have a an entrance from Apricot Lane because obviously smoke wrench is uh uh uh wider road, bigger traffic, coming in and out for the cool de sac, it's not an option.

I don't think it's an option.

So um I consider all those uh informations that uh the neighbors uh give us all those feedbacks.

Uh but like Peter said, we were closely with Mr.

Richard Rogles to for six months going back and forth, make sure we're meeting all the requirements.

This was originally planned for 10 buildings.

Uh we reduced it to eight because of the the neighbors' concerns.

Um so this is the final uh layout we come up with, and um I really hope that we got an approval from the commission.

Thank you.

All right, all right.

So I I think the commission is done with their comments, and um I think we have enough of that.

So I'll I'm gonna I'm gonna make a motion.

Let me just make sure I get my stuff together, and we'll see where see where it goes.

So I'm gonna make a motion for approval of the plan amendment 25752.

There's a motion on the floor, cash a vote.

All right, that motion that motion carries.

And then I will make a motion for approval of the zone change, ZC 250836.

I can do all three of these together, correct?

Okay, and then on the vacation VS 250837 and the waiver of development standards WS 250838.

I needed my glasses.

Um so motion on the floor, cash or vote.

And that mo that motion passes.

Good luck.

Thank you so much.

Thank you for motion.

Uh items 32, 33, and 34 will be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners for final action on March 4th, 2026 at 9 a.m.

Thank you, staff.

Name and address for the record and tell us about your application.

Good evening, Mr.

Chairman, Commissioners.

My name's Bob Gronauer, 1980 Festival Plaza Drive.

I'm here representing George Acaikis in his development company.

Actually, Mr.

Jakeis is here in the audience.

As you may know, uh Mr.

Jakeis has been building uh senior housing for about 30 years.

Uh he's had multiple projects throughout the valley here, and not only does he build them, but he also manages them.

So from a sustainability standpoint and from a quality standpoint, it's from the beginning of the process of zoning and land use all the way through the entitlements and building.

He has held on to these properties and he manages uh the properties as well.

Uh what we have before you are several applications for a senior housing development.

Um, I'm pretty sure you know and you've heard the reports that are out there is that not only is Southern Nevada in a housing crisis, but more importantly, a report that just recently came out that it mentioned that we're short approximately 90,000 units for senior housing.

For those of you who are deal with that with your parents or like myself, you understand there's long wait list as far as trying to get into these type of facilities.

And so this is a need that's in that is definitely needed here in Southern Nevada and Clark County.

And matter of fact, with the plan amendment that we're asking for, we do meet your goals and policies, which is one of the goals is 1.1, which is allows for diversified housing.

And then goal 1.2 also goes a little bit further where it talks about long-term having affordable housing in an area such as what we're proposing here.

So let me uh show you where we're located, and I'll give you a little bit of background of why we believe that this is a compelling justification to approve these entitlements that are before you tonight.

First of all, highlighted in yellow is approximately a five-acre piece of property.

What is important to note that this is already zoned, RS2.

And I'll get back into my presentation talking about the 2018 entitlements for this piece of property.

But when you take a look over here to the east side of our property, here is a development that was approved under PUD for about three units to the acre.

And we have a drainage channel here, as you can see to the south, and along the west property line, we have a drainage channel that impacts our property, and then you have an existing office complex in this area.

When you go across the street on Gillespie here, this is Gillespie, which runs north and south.

You have the community center that is located here.

And then as you go further to the west, this is Las Vegas Boulevard, which you have the South Point located here.

And what's important to note is you have I-15 just to the west of this over here, where you have the on and off ramp in this location.

When you're familiar with the southwest area, there are only very few, there are very few major arterial streets that go east and west in this area.

Silver Rado Ranch Boulevard is one of those major arterial streets that has that full access of connectivity on the east side of town and the west side of town if you divide I-15 that runs north and south in that area.

Because of that, you're gonna have lots of traffic in this area.

So it's expected in Silverado Ranch Boulevard is built out to high to handle high amounts of traffic in this area, which is tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of cars that travel in this area each day.

Just across the street of us in the north area here, as you can see multiple of multi-family, the zoned RM32.

It's master plan for a higher density residential, which is something that we are asking for in this five acres that are located here.

However, we believe that the project that we're asking for when you're dealing with senior housing, as you know, is a lower impact than your typical multifamily developments.

And it's a lower impact because they don't create noise, they don't create extra traffic, there's no impact on schools or on the infrastructure that is surrounding in this area.

Matter of fact, in your use permit, you'll see if you review the use permit in the application here, the second paragraph to the end that mentions that a project like this is fits in well.

I'm paraphrasing in so many words, but it fits in well with the scale of what we're proposing here for a senior housing uh apartment complex that we're proposing.

So, with that being said, as I mentioned, is there's been some history here.

Uh, there is an existing uh zoning on the property as RS2.

Um, it was approved in 2018 for 68 townhomes, uh, triplexes.

As a matter of fact, I'll show you here.

There's 26 buildings, um, and I'll orient you the location of the uh on the site plan here.

So this is uh Silverado Ranch.

Uh there was a project that was approved in 2018.

These are the buildings and the layout of the building.

This is um Walmart Court, or excuse me, Walmart Castle Court is a street that I'll be talking about later on in my presentation.

But this is the eastern adjacent properties, the single family homes, and then to the south that I pointed out, we had the drainage channel and then the office professional in this area.

So you already have an existing project here, which we believe is more intense, if at minimum similar, but if not more intense, because as you know, when you have uh single family or in this in this case, you have triplexes that have been approved for this piece of property.

You tend to have more families, more impacts, more cars in this area here, and that's why the parking requirements are much more greater than when you're dealing with the senior project.

So I do want to point out that we do have a uh an approved project here already that's on near the RS2 uh zoning designation.

The next thing that I like to show you is uh the history that we've gone through for the development here because one of the issues that we've had in going through several neighborhood meetings is the height of the building that we're proposing.

So I'm going to take you through a little bit of uh of the history here of where we started and where we're at today with the height of the building that's being proposed.

Uh we started out our neighborhood meetings uh last May, uh and then we had a neighborhood meeting in June and July and August.

So we had four big neighborhood meetings with respect to the neighbors to talk about our proposed project.

Uh the first pro uh the first elevations that you see here, well, actually, when we first came in, we had a four-story product that was about 49 and a half feet tall.

Uh the neighbors had some concerns, had concerns with the height of the building.

In our second neighborhood meeting, we came in, and what we did is we had a three uh three-story and a four-story building, whereas you can see here on our south elevation where we're closest to the eastern property line of the neighbors.

We had a three-story building and then a four-story building where it was anywhere from about 39 feet for the three-story building up to about 49 and a half feet where we thought we could step the building back.

Uh, during that meeting, and that that neighborhood meeting, there were still some concerns with what we were proposing with the elevations.

So we ended up doing, we changed the elevations to a three-story building across the the property itself.

And in the three-story building here, we were proposing to come in with a 38 feet to the top of the parapet, and then in these areas here, which would be the elevator shaft, the elevator shaft would go up to approximately 42, 43 feet in that area.

Um, as we continue to go through the neighborhood meetings, and I'll get into some of the support that we got by the adjacent neighbors, is what we ended up doing, which is the what you're gonna see here is the elevations here tonight, is a three-story building.

Uh, we changed it from a uh modern type of uh architecture into something that was more conducive and applicable to what the existing homes are in that area.

So that's why you see some of the tan in this area and beige on the elevations.

But more importantly, what I wanted to point out is it was asked by the neighbors who were in support that we come in with the pitched roof.

And by coming in with the pitched roof, which is about 95% of our building, as you can see here, that is going to come in at a at a height of approximately 37 and a half feet.

Okay.

So although by the zoning district, we could go up to 50 feet, and where we started with four stories of 50 feet, we've brought it down to about 37 and a half feet for the majority of the property.

What I'm showing you is on this location here is the west elevation.

Because on the western portion of our property, we have the the this area here that you can see.

This is for the elevator shafts.

That area there, the elevator shaft goes out to about 43 and a half feet.

And the reason why I mentioned that is because as far away from the property from the closest residential property, we wanted to move the highest point as far away to the western portion of our property.

So, as you can see here, you can see majority of the buildings gonna be 37 and a half feet.

Unfortunately, some of the neighbors who are here in opposition do not like the massing of the building.

They would prefer to have it no bigger if we were to do anything 35 feet if something was approved.

But as we mentioned by trying to address some of the concerns there from the building sizes that we've come out and the architectural elevations that coming in with the pitched roof, we're gonna go over the 35-foot uh level there.

Next, I want to get into the uh site plan.

So on the site plan here, one of the things that we realize when we're going through the neighborhood meetings is there is a street in this area here that's that's known as Walmore Castle Court.

It's right up adjacent to the existing residential development.

Matter of fact, I'll show you on this map here is before I get back to the site plan.

Walmore Castle Court is in this area.

So one of the things that we did after I think was about our fourth neighborhood meeting.

We went out to the individual six neighbors that live here to see if we could get their support for the project and vacate Walmore Castle.

And by vacating Walmore Castle Court in this area here, instead of the half of their their half street going back to those six homes, we would we would buy that property back for them for basically what we are paying for the piece for the property per square foot.

In addition, uh, that is where we came up with that last elevation about the pitched roof for the architectural elevation and changing it from the modern look to the look that I have that I'm showing you.

So that is a part of the application that's before you tonight is a vacation application, and one of part of the ad vacation application is a remove Walmart Castle Court and also the tenant of map that staff's recommending approval of.

We wanted to move our building as far away from the east property line that's located here.

And by moving as far away from the east property line, we're about 83 feet from the existing residential property line.

We have intense landscaping in this area.

And mind you, the other issue that you have is the east side of the property here is about a foot to two feet higher than where our property is.

So we drop down a little bit, and then we have our covered structures that are located here for the covered parking.

We have approximately 167 units that we're proposing for our density.

We have amenities that are located, a pool and a little uh clubhouse area here or cabana area along with the pool.

We have a garden area that's located here, we have a dog park that's located here.

Um, and then um we also are asking for a waiver development standards for to allow the car ports to be located 10 feet, where 20 feet are supposed to be up along Silverado Ranch, along with moving our trash receptacles far away from the residential development in this area.

So with respect to the proposal of what we have here, we feel that we've listened.

Um, some of the issues that is uh also come up that I like to address is about traffic.

Uh their concern is we have a waiver development standard to reduce the throat depth located coming in off of Silverado Ranch.

And if you read the public works comments there, they're okay with the proposal of what we're proposing, but they didn't recommend approval because the overall application was recommended for denial.

Uh but in here, the reason why staff is supporting this is because we don't have any gates here.

This is not a gated community.

So typically, and you've approved this and and public works has approved it, is we actually only have a right in and right turn out on Silverado Ranch because there's a median that's located there.

Uh, there's concern that there's increased traffic by this development, and there's also concern that we need another ingress egress.

We're not required to have another ingress egress in this area, and as I mentioned to you just earlier here, we have a right in right out.

And then one of the things I do want to mention is we did a study with our other senior projects uh that Mr.

Jacekus has done.

About 58% of the people who would be living in their other projects actually have vehicles.

So although we're parked at, I think about 167 parking stalls, you take that down by another 40, 42 percent of a reduction in there.

So you don't have, as I was mentioning earlier, is you don't have that impact on traffic in the surrounding area.

One of the other things I want to mention here is what you're gonna hear about views.

Okay, and there's two points I want to make or three points about views.

One is as you know, views are not protected, but we've we've taken the liberty to try to excuse me to try to do the best as we can in design this building to make sure that we do not have any impacts in this area.

However, um, we do it through the town board meeting.

We had some neighbors that live down here off of Molly Court, and we had another resident that lives over here that complained about some of the views.

So, what we did is in listening to some of their concerns, we wanted to go out and take some line of sights.

So this is the entryway to the existing residential subdivision.

Uh, one of the gentlemen who lives in this house over here came out and said he couldn't see the view, he enjoys a view of the south point.

And what we did is we want to take a look from his view of what he sees today with the south point that you see up in the right-hand corner, which would be kind of a peek-aboo look in this area here between the existing homes that are up adjacent to our property, and then you would see what we what he would be looking at in that peek-aboo view there.

So that is the view of the of the concern that you may hear tonight that is under uh that will be under a part of our discussions about as you can see here.

This is the home where the gentleman lives in between the two homes.

You may be able to take a look at the south point, or you may see our building that's located there.

The other issue that you will hear tonight is on uh Molly Court, and we've heard that through the neighborhood meetings.

There's some neighbors that live down here on Molly Court, a few several hundred feet away from the existing development.

And what you'll see here is these are pads.

These pads are at least a minimum single-story office professional pads that are going to be constructed at some point in time, as you can see, which would be similar to the alignment and the architecture of the single-story office buildings that are located there.

When you take a look at the line of sight that we did from the existing homes on Molly Court with the one-story building right adjacent to them in this area, as I'm showing you, is you're not going to have your your view skewed by the building that's going to be located there that we're proposing.

And the reason is, as you can see, is because you'll have an existing uh location of another building located there.

As I mentioned, with the vacation application and the exhibit, we have some uh government patent easements.

We have a uh an easement, excuse me, a vacation for separation of sidewalk, and then this is for the Walmart Castle, excuse me, Walmart Castle Lane in this area to vacate the street located there.

So, in all, we believe that the application that's before you is a very good application.

It fits the need that we're talking about for senior housing.

Uh, we've moved the location of our building as far west as we could in working with the residents.

Not everybody's in support, but we did get the immediate neighbors in support to us because they had to fill out the applications for the vacation, and I believe some of them sent in some emails uh within the last couple days in support of the application, also, just as an FYI.

And so we believe we've done a really good job here.

We believe that the project that we're proposing is less impactful than the project that is already approved for a triplex development townhomes on this piece of property.

So that being said, I'm here to answer any other questions, and I could address additional issues and concerns that come up from the neighbors that are here to speak.

Thank you, sir.

Um, I'm gonna take this opportunity to open this application up for a public hearing.

And so anyone that would like to speak on this item, please come on up.

Um, I I I'm assuming we have a lot of folks that want to want to talk about items on this on this project.

Just know that we at the commission we we really appreciate everybody being a part of the process, and we understand um your your concerns in general.

So if your neighbor talked about traffic, we definitely understand that's a concern for the community.

You don't have to repeat a whole diatribe about traffic, just just FYI.

But I want you to get all your comments on the record, so so please name and address for the record and tell us your comments.

Uh Lewis Grandurie Jr.

279 Broadcast Avenue, Las Vegas, Nevada.

Okay.

Um I don't have a um elevation view from the developer.

So, in order to uh show you what's going on here, I went to the west side of Silverado Ranch, and uh there's some three-story development out there.

You can see that the cars here passing on Silverado Ranch with a three-story building.

Here's um Silverado Ranch and Valley View, and there's a development out there with three-story buildings.

This is the lot.

I'm sorry, sir.

Give me one second.

Can the engineer kind of maybe zoom out so we can see where he was pointing at or zoom in?

There you are.

Perfect.

Thank you.

I'm sorry.

This is the uh the lot in question.

Uh so what I did is I took the three-story building, put it on the property, and you can see where the elevation for two-story in our development here, and the single story and the uh property to the west is here, and this is what the concept view is of a three-story building on this property.

It doesn't fit with the with the area across the street on Silverado Ranch is single-story apartments.

We had them when they went through the development of this, it had them insure us that they would put single stories along Silverado Ranch, which they did.

This is the entrance to Walmart Castle Lane here.

This is what Silverado Ranch looks like here.

And this is trend, the single family, the single-story apartments along Silverado Ranch.

The property they're developing is here.

This is the complex on the other side of the lot back here, single story, and this is Gillespie.

It doesn't this three-story building does not blend well with this site.

There's no reason to put this site here.

They can build it on West Silverado Ranch Boulevard without a problem.

And they can go up to four stories if they wish, which was their initial concept.

Talking about the traffic, this is the lot in question, the divider alongside down the center of Silverado Ranch Boulevard.

This is what it looks like here.

The properties here.

So you cannot cross over when they come out of the property, you have to make a right-hand turn.

Period.

This is uh Walmart Castle Lane here.

This is the property again divided.

This is our entrance here to our property, and the lots over here.

They have to come make a right hand turn, come up.

They can't make a U turn at this point because there's no turning lane.

So there's you have to go up further, which brings you up to Placid.

There is a turn line here, which you can make a U-turn and go back westbound.

Other than that, you can't go westbound off this property.

Also, to get to the property, if you're going down Silverado Ranch to Gillespie, you have to make a U-turn on Gillespie and come back up Silverado Ranch to make a right hand turn into the property.

This is what the plot looks like here.

So they have to come up, make a right hand turn, come into the property.

Now, because this is a three-story project, I would assume that in case of a fire, that there would be a ladder truck involved.

And I seriously doubt the ladder truck would be able to make the turns into the property, make a U turn and come this way, or go around this way if there are cars coming out, try to escape the fire.

Um it's a real mess as far as uh fire access to this property.

This is Paradise Spa, which has been vacated and completely torn down across the way from there, or these towers here, the metro Manhattan, the Manhattan projects here on Serene and Las Vegas Boulevard.

So if they want to put put it here or on West Silverado Ranch, it's up to them.

But it doesn't belong where they're trying to put it.

They don't own the property, it's all based upon approval of zoning, and the density is too high.

Thank you.

Thank you for your comments.

Anyone else?

One other thing.

The to for clarification, the previous project for townhomes and condos was two stories, high-end purchase properties for seniors 55 plus.

Yes, sir.

Come on, come on up.

Yeah, thank you, sir.

Name and address for the record, please.

My name is uh Mark Holman.

I'm uh 997 Las Cienega, Las Vegas, Nevada, 89183.

I'm uh speaking for the uh East Wellington Homeowners Association.

Uh first thing I'd like to say to be clear is I'm not aware of any neighbors in the adjacent neighborhood that support this project.

Uh the neighbors did sign the vacation to vacate the right-of-way, but that is in the interest of moving this project as far away from the neighborhood as possible because initially they had were planning on using Walmer Castle for access.

It also moves at uh the intersection further away from the our intersection.

As you can see on uh this overhead, this property is surrounded everywhere by one and two-story buildings.

This is multifamily, as Lou pointed out.

This is all one story, two-story.

These are all two-story multifamily, and you have Silverado serving as a buffer from the single family headed this way.

This uh, this is a massive building.

This is almost 85,000 square feet of footprint sitting on this lot.

This pink is a crude representation of that.

It's over 400 or yeah, 400 feet long, it's over 200 feet wide.

You got 167 units, which is roughly twice the density that you have over here on a units per acre basis.

Um it's just it's out of place in this area.

It's the biggest building on Silverado Ranch, this side of uh Las Vegas Boulevard.

It uh under the code, the RM32 zone is supposed to serve as a transition between high density and commercial stuff, and this is the high density.

This isn't serving as a transition between anything.

Uh we uh we did support the previous proposal, it was only 68 units, as was pointed out, so we're not opposed to development, and I know some of the homeowners here would like to see something developed on this property just to prevent the homeless and uh used car lots and food trucks.

So we uh we oppose it, we urge you guys to go along with the staff report, which uh was uh voted in favor of denial, and the town board looked at it for denial just because it's so out of place in the area.

How many questions?

I'm happy to Mr.

Chair.

If I could just ask him to point out where he lives.

Thank you.

Thank you, sir.

Um, Commissioner Kalarski would like you to on your map point to your house.

My house is uh just off the map, right about here.

Okay, that's fair enough.

Thank you, sir.

Appreciate that.

Thanks, Mr.

Anyone else?

Okay, don't be shy.

I don't I we understand name and address for the record.

My name is Johnny Messer.

I live in the house.

You may you may not you may not need that microphone, but would you please pick it up for us?

Thank you.

My name is Johnny Messer.

I live in 9710 Los Sianega Street, which I'll find it here in a minute.

Wrong picture.

So here so back over where you have your papers, there's a dot, yes.

And if it looks good to you, it looks good to us.

Okay.

So here's the property.

Here's the street that has a variance request on it, along with the other four variances, which tells me this square peg don't fit in the diameter of this round hole.

I'm a construction superintendent.

I've been building here since 1989 in Las Vegas and the surrounding area.

This is my home right here, right at the main entry.

They are talking to these people because they want to buy this strip of property.

They don't care about the rest of us.

Nobody talked to me about how many times they're being gonna be going into the street, and it'll be up to five or six barricade programs, and the east-west will be shut off when they put the infrastructure in to do the tie-ins for Nevada Power, sewer, water, cable, and whatever else goes through there.

This street is very heavy traffic, especially since it's opened up here again recently.

I mean, it's I have a hard time getting from Silverado Bridge exit to my home every day because it's packed up.

The thing is not coming up.

This is a school right here over here on Placid.

This is all school.

Elementary school, street crossings right here, right in front of my house, actually.

Right here's where the lights flash.

They we seem to forget about these little things right here.

We got people crossing here all day long.

There's a bus stop right here.

They're going to this development over here.

So it's you know, and the more people we throw out here, it's becoming a real safety problem.

Uh it's just the project just doesn't fit on this property that they're trying to squeeze it into.

I have very I have huge concerns with that.

Uh the multiple requests for variances tells me the story.

It don't fit.

There's a total of five variances on this the school zone, a real problem.

Fire department never will sign this off and accept this project the way it's built.

As I said, I've built many projects in this town.

And Henderson and North Las Vegas, everywhere.

Silverado Ranch already has very high volume traffic east and west.

Just it doesn't need any more right now.

Single family housing would be great for some senior citizens over here in this property.

Single story.

Like I've just said, has a five minimum five barricade setups for infrastructure.

Which would be at night.

But I guarantee you it's hard, and there's gonna be some hole rams banging over there that everybody in this room and anybody that lives in the uh East Wellington estates is not gonna appreciate it's being submitted as senior housing.

I've seen this before, fellas and ladies.

They'll lease this out to whoever's got the first month's rent and the deposit.

Uh the property is suitable for single family residents only, single story.

The storm drain that runs through this property has to be accessible by public works to maintain it.

It's also occupied by homeless that get run out of there by metro regular on a regular basis.

Um what else, guys?

I ladies and gentlemen, we appreciate all your time, your patience.

And if this is the project that's current right now, and you're still looking at 167 units for senior citizens, and how many elevators do we have to get those people out of there?

If they're seniors, they don't get around very well.

There's a few of them in this room right now.

Might be me pretty soon.

I'm 72.

Still building buildings, but I keep going.

But you know, it's a big concern.

What do you do with a three-story building if you can't get people out of it?

Major concern.

We all have responsibilities in life, and this is one of them.

And the water districts, the other one that really concerns me.

We keep building, but the lake's going dry.

I get billed 400 a month on my house for excessive use.

I'll be talking to them soon, also.

I don't know.

Sometimes some point in time we've got to find a happy medium and stop building in this town.

At least slow down until the lake fills up.

And you know, the casino properties are running the whole thing, and we all know that.

All right, thank you for your comments, sir.

All right, thank you all.

Have a great evening.

You too.

Appreciate that.

Anyone else?

All right, name and address for the record.

My name is Jim Henning.

I look at live at 271 Iron Duke Avenue.

Um, I'm gonna use the same map that the gentleman before me.

I do live right here.

And my I do have a view of South Point from with, but with that development that's going on right now, I will I will lose that.

Um as far as any kind of uh residents that approve this, is they're they're taking along the line that these houses that are located right along here where they have to pay them with money, and of course they're concrete that as approval.

Well, if they paid all of us, we they'd probably have more approvals.

One thing, too, is that I wanted to point out is that this lot size right here is a little bit under five acres.

If you were to take the the development for Wellington East and Wellington West, that is a total of about 55 acres.

And there's there's 141 homes in that five-acre or 50 uh 55-acre area where this is five acres, which is like one-tenth, and they want to put 167 units in that same area.

I don't I don't care as far as I don't want to be a dead horse as far as traffic, but I don't care whether their study is showing that it's like 54% less cars or whatever may be, but that doesn't take into account for the for the uh for Uber Eats and for all the all the support traffic that has to go in and out of that place.

Um of course I oppose it.

Thank you.

Thank you, sir.

Appreciate that.

Anyone else?

Okay.

No, but um regards mother.

Yeah, make your way down, sir.

Name and address for the record.

Where's that mapping at name's Renee Pineda, P-I-N-E-D-A.

I live at 262 Iron Duke Av, which is right.

The need for high quality how senior housing is real, it's growing and deeply important.

Our community fully supports creating dignified accessible living options for older adults.

However, specific location proposed immediately adjacent next to a luxury-gated single family, uh, single-family neighborhood is not the right site.

Um East Wellington and West Wellington, the properties there are in the 700 to million dollar range.

For some of us, I know for me, it's one of my biggest investment.

Okay.

Um if I could just enumerate uh the land use compatibility matters.

Um, intentionally designed around low density residential zoning, controlled traffic patterns, predictable neighborhood character, long-term property value stability.

A senior unit, a multi-unit senior housing complex, regarding of its social value, introduces a high-density multi-tenant structure that is fundamentally incompatible with the surrounding land use.

This isn't about who the residents are, it's about the scale, intensity, and operational footprint of the building.

Good planning places like with like this proposal does not.

Number two, traffic service vehicles and operational impact.

Senior housing generates far more activity than typical residential homes, including medical transport vehicles, caregiver and staff traffic, delivery service vans, shuttle services, and emergency response visits.

These are normal and necessary for senior care, but they do not belong directly beside a low traffic security-controlled neighborhood.

Increased congestion near gated entrance compromise safety, privacy, emergency access, and the quiet residential character, homeowners paid a premium for.

Introducing a large multi-unit building, especially one built to low-cost standards.

Well, I don't know that what standards are gonna be, but um you know this create creates a visual and economic mismatch that can reduce buyer demand and depress resale values, even if the senior housing is well run, the percent the perception of density and institutional activity can deter future buyers.

It is the core responsibility of zoning boards and planning commissions.

Number four, seniors deserve better than squeezed in location.

Opposing dislocation is not opposing seniors.

In fact, seniors benefit most when housing is placed where they have walkable access to services, transit connectivity, proximity to medical facilities, retail and community amenities, social engagement opportunities.

Umone here mentioned the um the spa.

That I mean, that's a perfect location for this senior community senior housing.

Okay.

Um placing the the uh facility here is not only disruptive to the existing community, it's suboptimal for the seniors themselves.

So are there better sites, better sites uh number five, better alternative sites exist.

The city has multiple areas for better, far better suited for senior housing, including mixed zones, areas, near medical centers, transit quarters, commercial residential transition zones, underutilized commercial parcels like the spa.

So these locations provide greater accessibility, more appropriate density, better integration with services, stronger long-term sustainability.

So choosing a site that aligns with seniors' needs and community planning principles is a win-win.

So, in conclusion, we can and should support the development of senior housing, but responsible planning requires placing it where it enhances quality of life for seniors and preserves the integrity of existing neighborhoods.

A multi-unit senior housing complex directly beside a luxury-gated single family community, is a land, a land use mismatch, a traffic and operational burden, a threat to property values, poor fit for seniors' needs, and it is an avoidable planning mistake.

So the right project in the wrong place helps no one.

We urge the commission to reject this location and work collaboratively to identify a site that truly serves seniors and respects the character of the surrounding community.

Thank you for your time.

Thank you, sir.

Appreciate that.

All right.

Anyone anyone else?

All right.

Name and address for the record, sir.

Hey, my name is uh Josh Bunker, 9795 Los Sianica Street.

Appreciate everybody being here.

I know it's late, I'll keep my uh my comments uh succinct.

Um, I do appreciate um the folks that applied for this.

Uh they didn't talk to everybody.

I actually happen to live right here.

It's hard to see, but right where this pool is, right adjacent to this corner.

I wasn't talked to, um, we got it.

Okay, excellent.

Um my neighbors made a compelling argument.

I'll say this.

Uh, commissioners Gibson and Kalarski, I do appreciate your comments with regard to the previous applicants regarding the um uh privacy issue, and uh you said two-story houses are allowed, and they couldn't have a lookout tower for fear of privacy and and over encroachment to sum up your words.

Is that accurate statement?

Okay, fair enough.

So um, my concern is right behind our house, there's a bunch of us neighbors that live directly behind on here myself being one of them.

Now, I do appreciate you deny that, or we're about to deny that other gentleman his opportunity to build that lookout tower and things like that.

My question to you would be what is the difference with a three-story building, and then those folks looking from that three-story building into our um into our homes, and then we would have to draw our shades for our own privacy.

So, again, thank you all.

Those are my comments.

I appreciate that.

That's that was definitely something different, and not traffic.

Okay, um, sir, name and address for the record, and tell us tell us uh your comments, please.

So, my name is Wayne Brown, 9711 Lacianega, Las Vegas, 89183.

Um, my house is the one right next to that pink blob.

See if I ruffle some feathers here.

Okay.

First, um, as a member of the community and a member of the association, I do want to say that I support and stand with my neighbors.

Um, I stand with the association.

I get their concerns.

Uh, you know, there's some of them are valid.

Um, in general, the neighborhood is concerned with the headaches that this development's gonna bring to the area.

Um, however, some of us that share this property line with a vacant lot as it is, are currently dealing with headaches of a different type.

And those headaches are the type that come with a abandoned dead end road, a vacant lot, and access to a drainage channel that's covered.

So all the police activity, the vagrants, the vehicles, the trash, all that type of stuff is a headache in its own in its own right, and it's something that we're constantly dealing with.

So the motivation is not the sale of the property.

In fact, the last development that we signed off on uh didn't include the sale of Walmart Castle, it just included the land.

So I just want to share that perspective that um two things can be true at once.

Is this the best you know project in its current iteration to go there?

That's for you to decide.

Um for myself, uh, you know, I support the neighborhood, I support their opinions, I get it.

But there's also uh I support the neighbors.

I can speak to my immediate neighbors.

Some of us we see this project as progress, and we want to see something developed there, and then that's better than what we're currently getting with this vacant lot and abandoned road.

So hopefully the county and the community and developers and come together and find a way to make something positive.

Thanks.

Thank you for your comments.

Anyone else?

Okay, all right.

I think I think we've we've hit everything.

Sorry, so see no one else, so we're gonna close the public comments.

I'm gonna ask the applicant to come back up.

And I've got about 12 items I wrote down, so I'm sure we've got a lot to go over.

I'm gonna start on my left with Commissioner's Dove.

Thank you, Mr.

Chairman.

Thanks for picking me first here.

So I so light was on first.

Yeah.

So I may be all alone here, but let me remind you of why I come here every two weeks.

Because I'm a planning commissioner for Clark County.

Life safety and welfare is my number one concern.

It always has been as a planning commissioner, not the economics of the surrounding neighborhood.

Notwithstanding million dollar homes.

Let's let's put a let's put a uh bracket on.

We don't want senior housing next to million dollar homes.

What is that number?

You know what?

We don't have a number in Clark County.

Um I've said this before, I'll say it again.

I'm from North Las Vegas.

Planning commission, 1997.

And I remember the first time I heard the word senior housing.

We approved it, uh, Templeton Development, senior housing, and I remember all of the horrible things that were said about senior housing.

And I drive by this project every day for the last whatever, 20, 30 years.

I've never seen a human being walking around the neighborhood.

I've never seen a car coming in and out.

I've never seen one problem in that particular senior community.

Since then, I've approved I don't know, a hundred of them across the valley.

And I I would just say this.

Life safety welfare is our primary concern in support of balanced growth.

We're concerned about crime, uh, traffic, these things every week.

We have to weigh the scale of what's good and what's bad.

And tonight it's just so clear to me that some of the points brought up shouldn't have the weight that the uh the the folks are are indicating the weight is to us as a commission.

You know, we don't pick winners and losers that way.

Um dare I say senior housing probably would be the best neighbors you could ever want.

Um so I really disagree with the uh majority of the uh adjacent homeowners.

I think some points are valid, you know.

Let's talk it through.

But um senior housing is not bad.

Um this this we we deal with I'll end on this.

We deal with the not in my backyard sediment a lot, and uh it sometimes gets misinterpreted.

Uh you know, the new builder evil, the existing neighborhood, uh good, good evil, and I just wish we could get away from that.

So I I have to tell you, um I'm in full support of this project, and and I may be the lone vote on this, but those are my reasons.

I want to get them out.

Thank you.

Thank you, Commissioner Stone.

I'm gonna jump down to my right.

Uh Commissioner Klarski.

Can you do Commissioner Gibson first?

Because I'm still writing my number of things.

Sure, sure.

Thank you.

I appreciate Commissioner Gibson.

Yeah, just take just throw me on the spot here.

Um sorry.

So I mean, I know the answer to this, but staff there was a lot of bringing up about fire and access.

That's all gonna have to get resolved before this thing gets built, correct?

Okay, that was heads nod, yes.

Okay.

Um the current plan that's set forth, Bob.

Maybe you know or don't know, but what is the maximum height allowed for what could be built there?

35 feet.

And you're at the 95% of the buildings at 37 and a half feet.

So two and a half, I don't care about that.

Yeah, uh yeah, 37 and then uh the elevator shafts are at 43 and a half.

Yeah, okay.

Um development pains.

I don't care what gets built there.

Um the whether it's hard and there's gonna be hammers and excavators.

There's whatever gets built there will be a pain to the community, just like every other thing that's built in this valley is a pain to whoever lives next to it.

In regards to privacy, can you throw up your site plan with um uh uh your landscaping?

Hey, by the way, great point and way to call me out.

Appreciate it.

So, Bob, talk to me about this neighbor's concerns and what your plan is.

I mean, one of the differences between this application and the other application, the other application was asking to move their things closer to the neighbors.

I believe this has tried to move it as far away as possible.

But talk to me about how if I have this corner third story room, I'm not staring down at him on a Sunday afternoon.

Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna get the uh three-story elevation and take a look at that.

But uh first of all, as I mentioned in my presentation, you're about a foot or two, probably about two feet higher on the east side than you are on the west side.

Um and that's the neighbors know that you walk down that Walmart Castle, you'll see the slope of the property there.

Um so uh we have intense landscaping in this area, uh double row of trees.

I think it might be approximately is it 20?

15 to 20.

15 to 20.

Let's just say 15 minimum.

I I I'll double check for the 20 in there, but with double row of landscaping, and then we have the um uh covered parking uh that's located here.

So what we've done is we've increased the setback from where the original townhomes that are approved uh to about eight, I think it's 83, 84 feet.

Let's just say 83 feet to the building that's located there.

What we wanted to do, and we talked about the neighbors in our first neighborhood meeting.

We wanted to move as far as we could away.

So that's why you see the drive aisle.

This is the fire drive aisle in our drive aisle here, and so we comply with fire.

Uh we we moved this as far over to the west as we could.

And so that's why you have the drive aisle here.

That's why you don't have any parking here, is because we put parking here, you move the building a little bit closer over to to the area here.

So um the so we we work very closely, as I said, with the neighbors one way or the other adjacent to us.

Uh we had several neighborhood meetings to address the the the issue uh itself.

I'm trying to get to the elevation.

And so what you would have here, this is the east elevation that you would be seeing here down here.

So you have a three-story building at 83 feet away from that property line.

Um, I don't have a true line of sight elevations.

One that I showed you was across the street on La Sianica, looking into our development, that peekaboo view that I showed you.

Uh, and most of the people that spoke, I think, are in Wellington states to the east of us.

So this is what you're dealing with.

And so you're dealing with 10 foot plates.

You're probably actually probably less than about 30 feet in that area where you'll have top of window, and then when you have a person, you know, it's about a five foot, five five, I think the character is.

So you're really dealing with about a 25-foot height area looking if you're looking in.

So I don't think there's gonna be a significant impact with the trees and the wall that's already there, but nonetheless, that gives you a little bit of the visual.

So the and I know you're restricted by the county on specific species of trees, but can we ensure that we get as tall of trees in their maturity as we possibly can?

Yeah, we we can uh we were complying with the uh county code requirement for double row of trees for the uh intense landscaping, but if you want to put into a certain type of tree or size, we're more than willing to work with you with you on that.

Yeah, I I mean I think the gentleman has a legit concern, and I would like for you to do whatever you can to appease these neighbors.

Okay, thank you, Commissioner Gibson.

I will go to Vice Chair Mohican X.

Um thank you.

I I I don't thank you for being here tonight, and and um we do appreciate your comments.

Um views are not what we pay for, and the land and telling somebody to go build it somewhere else.

So who's gonna pay for that somewhere else land?

I mean you you can't tell something it's like somebody telling you put your one million dollar home somewhere else.

That's basically what you're saying to them.

And we're what we're trying to do here again.

Um what my fellow commissioners have said is that our number one priority is safety to the public, safety to the community, and as long as this is safe, and and that's one point I wanted to bring up was the traffic study.

There will be a traffic study.

So the gentleman that said he's concerned about the fire truck, so am I.

I'm concerned about a fire truck going in there too and having to make a U-turn and all that, but all that's gonna come out in the traffic study.

And seniors deserve a place to live as well.

So I um I'm sorry you feel that way, that's kind of sad.

But anyways, um I have a I have a question.

So in regards to the units, I I noticed that they're very small.

Is that because they're gonna be it living in there and being taken care of in there?

I just wanted to understand what the um senior apartments, so uh uh this is not assisted living, so they'll be able to take care of for themselves.

Okay, and they're they're close to the park, right?

Which is one of the reasons why you're putting it there as well.

Yeah, it's it's because you have some commercial uses in the area that is accessible, but and more importantly, you have this community center here that would be greatly it would be used by them in this area here.

So it's a it's an added amenity, and that's the attraction, and then also the demographics in the area show that there's senior housing that's needed here, so you keep people as they age out into a location like this.

And I did notice you have 167 units and 167 parkings, and not all of them are gonna have a car.

Correct.

We meet and we meet code, uh, the code requirement, and from as I mentioned, 58 percent of our residents and our other projects uh have vehicles.

So we know that although we provide more than what the code what we meet code, we provide more than what we know we need.

And that's very thoughtful because that parking can be used for like a caretaker.

Say if my mother is in there, I'm the one that's gonna park in that spot because she doesn't have a car.

So that that was forward thinking, so thank you.

I can support the project.

Uh thank you, Vice Chair Clarski.

I'm sorry, Vice Chair Mohica.

I was thinking Commissioner Kalarski next.

You were just looking at me, that's all.

Thank you, Mr.

Chair.

I just have a just a couple questions.

Each story, each floor has approximately how many units.

Because you got 167.

I I'm certain they're not evenly divided.

Yeah, yeah, to typically uh you the first floor is gonna have a little bit less because we have the common area, right?

But yeah, I mean, if you're doing the math, you're about 50 plus or minus.

50 plus or minus, okay.

And what are your sizes of the units, small to big?

I'm gonna let Georgia cake as God mentioned.

I'm an address for the record, please.

Mr.

Chair, Planning Commission member George or Cake is 2655 South Rainbow Boulevard, sweet towards zero one county.

Um square footage on each unit's around 650 square feet on a one-bedroom, two bedroom units or 850 square feet.

That's the Nevada Housing Division standards for senior housing.

We're trying to lower that, but we're keeping it at that square footage.

Thank you.

I really appreciate that.

Um we have two elevators.

We've owned an operating development like this for over 30 years.

Okay.

One on each end.

That is correct.

Okay, good.

Because I think when you were briefing me, we only looked at saw the one.

Yeah, it's on the north and south, uh, north and south of the building.

Okay.

So on the west side.

On the west side, yes.

Okay.

That's the board circulation all around the building.

And then is there a bus stop near yes?

Just to the uh east of us here is a bus stop.

Just east of the uh Jordy neighborhood.

Okay, so that would just make it so those that don't have a vehicle, they do have access and it's fairly close.

Absolutely.

And we provide their passes for our seniors as well.

Okay.

All right, thank you.

I I just want to say, I remember the first time that uh I got, and it was with a different developer, um senior housing, and that was over off of Nellis and Wyoming for those that uh Nellis and Charleston.

Okay, uh, or Nellis and Sahara, right in between the two.

And that was a three-story.

It's adjacent to an RP3, which is rural neighborhood preservation.

Um, it's only a three, and all those homes are basically all one story.

And this was the first three-story that had gone into this into this neighborhood, and uh it has worked out well.

We we've got other others now in the east side that are three stories, and they have worked well.

I am concerned about the density, but I don't know how you pencil it.

So I'm just gonna I I can say this when we were at four stories, the density was a lot higher.

We did listen to the neighbors, we reduced it to three stories.

Well, first we reduced it from four to three, and then now all three stories.

But comparing that density to what is previously approved, that was 64 units of family housing with a uh height of 35 feet, and that's uh the correct uh information on that according to your NOFA.

Well, you're you're basically matching what is across the street.

I think I think you are over if you use the the density and uh the zoning.

Maybe about 15 more additional units than what is across the street, and that's that's a very minimal number.

So uh, like I said, I initially I was concerned, but when I sat back and started doing the numbers, and I was a little a lot more comfortable.

So thank you.

Thank you, Mr.

Chair.

Thank you, Commissioner Klarski.

I'll go to Commissioner Kirk.

Thank you, Mr.

Chair.

Can you talk just for a moment about the classes and amenities that are included in the facility?

Yes, um, I already mentioned uh we do have a Dodd Park on the south portion.

Let me get to my side.

Okay.

Um so initially we had the dog park up in this area here, the northeast portion.

So down in this area, we have the dog park located here.

Um we do have a garden area that's located here, as you can see within this corridor area here.

Uh we do have a pool, uh cabana located here.

You do if you take a look up in here.

This is the I'm gonna call it the great room, the activity room of stuff.

You know, we do have also fitness facility and other uses that are located in there.

You have a cooking facility and so on.

So typical amenities that you have, and then what George does.

He also brings services also that come onto the property for the seniors.

And I know from my mom living in a senior place, they if anywhere that she's comfortable walking is around the building, and they do that once or twice or three times, and that's part of their exercises there.

So you'll have that also of them walking around inside uh the property.

Thank you.

And uh there's was an uh implication here that uh accused you of the bait and switch.

I think I heard that earlier where just give us the application, let us start building, and we'll switch it out to something else.

So tell me uh what safeguards does do do we have as a public that that won't happen.

Uh well, number one, which is what I'd always go to is the application itself.

You could put a condition on there to require to be senior housing to ensure that there's senior housing on this development.

Uh the second thing is as I'm I've represented George for many many years.

I have utmost respect for him.

He that's what he builds, and he has held properties on until you know in your development in North Las Vegas, or then one on Sahara that we just opened up, which is the one on Sahara, which is on Saharan Cimarron by Sushi Fever.

Uh, we were before you about three years ago, and there were neighbors in the rural neighborhood preservation area upset and they were concerned about property values.

We're built, we're running, have no impacts on them, property values have not decreased.

No, that's always a uh, in my opinion, smoke screen that people use to say our property values are gonna suffer.

I don't think their property values will suffer at all uh because of this facilities being built there.

And I appreciate the fact that someone mentioned that the a senior housing development light.

Now, this is not a an aid, you know, a uh it will be a for assisted living.

Yeah, no, no, it's not assistant.

Not assisted living.

This is a senior housing for healthy people that get around.

You're not gonna see a bunch of wheelchairs or scoot.

You probably see some, but but it's not their typical mode of transportation.

But someone mentioned the fact that uh a senior housing facility needs to be where there are facilities for them.

And as I look at the map, I see the Silvado Rec Center.

Yep, recenter.

I see South Point Casino not far.

I see I mean you can see there's uh uh a um restaurants, a car facility there, you know, a place to get your car fixed.

There's a Walmart.

I mean, there's uh I mean there are a lot of facilities surrounding this location that will be a good uh a good benefit to the uh to the neighborhood.

Now, how many of these facilities has your client built?

George, how many of you built in Clark County?

Over 2,000 units, which consist of about 10 different developments.

Okay, thank you.

Uh have you ever bait and switched them?

Have you ever started one and then fed up, we're gonna make it uh uh you know, uh no market rate.

We we we take pleasure indeed restricted our senior properties.

Thank you.

We have no problem with that.

Okay, thank you.

I'm I'm in full support.

I mean on the city council in Henderson, we had a lot of people would come out in staunch opposition to senior housing.

It was never the right location, it was always the wrong thing to put at the location which was uh designated, and yet it always has turned out to be a positive.

I don't see any negative, not one.

And I am in full support.

Thank you, Commissioner Kirk.

I got I got Vice Chair Mohiko for one comment and then me, though.

Give it over to Commissioner Roitman.

Yeah, this is very quick, and and we kind of touched on it already that it's not assisted living, that it is um for active seniors.

And so I wanted to confirm, and I think Bob did say that there is cooking facilities for everybody.

And the reason why I say that, George, is because um your studio is 512 square feet.

So that's very tiny.

Studios are 575 square feet.

Oh, well, according to our sheets, it's 512.

512, excuse me.

I apologize.

Yeah.

So it's uh page 39.5.

It's an open space.

And it does have full cookie facilities, all energy store applying in the unit, but additionally, there's like a clubhouse that they can absolutely go to and cook.

That's important because like I said, this is kind of tiny, and somebody may not want to cook in some.

I just I just want to know that they're gonna have all the amenities and comforts uh to live a nice healthy life and and be able to walk everywhere and go places and and all that.

So thank you.

That was the only thing I wanted to add.

Thank you, Vice Chair.

Thank you, Vice Chair Mohica.

I just wanted to I'll keep my comments high level.

Um I I definitely think we've touched all the details.

I want to thank the the neighbors who came out and spoke both for and against this this item.

I um I I think there were a lot of um very um thoughtful comments made, and um I do appreciate um your passion for your community.

I I I have to agree with um some of the high-level conversations about about the the product itself.

Um the dirt doesn't have to be developed, but it will be developed.

I think this particular product um will be less impactful than you think.

I know it's painful now, but I'm just I'm just again high level, I can support the application, and I'll turn it over to Commissioner Reutman.

Yeah, I'll try to not echo too much here, but um you know, I do agree that there is some not in my backyard here, but that's not a dig at the neighbors.

You know, whenever there's development, whenever there's something new come in, whenever it's different than what you already have in your backyard and it's big and it's a different type of use than what you're used to, that can be concerning.

And so to come out here and exercise your right to oppose it is is noble, even though I agree with uh my fellow commissioners here that it is not in fact our mandate to maintain any single neighbor's property value.

Uh I do think that this will be good for uh the county.

I think it'll be good for the neighborhood.

Um I think it'll be good for the direct neighbors, as as one of the neighbors has already come out and said, and I think the impact on the neighbors a bit further out will be a lot less than maybe what you fear today.

Um when it comes to fire and parking and all of those things, that is what our amazing staff is here to deal with.

There is no project that's gonna happen that is not signed off by the fire department and public works and all of the traffic, all of these issues.

Again, I I know 167 units sounds like a lot, but if half of them are driving, that's probably less cars than 68 townhomes with three or four people driving.

And when you look at the bigger picture and you zoom out from you know, respectfully, the neighborhood next door, no one's gonna notice these cars.

Um neighbor said, I think we should stop building because of the water and the put you know, someone earlier was worried about the air pollution and stuff.

Well, you know, I I this is no longer a little rural town outside of Los Angeles.

I mean, we are a full-blown city, we are a full-blown county, and these are just this is the growing pains that anyone who lives next to a vacant piece of land eventually has to deal with.

And some of our comments up here for the record may seem biting, but they're not to be, they're not to dismiss the concerns that you have.

Um I agree, I'm in a motion to approve this with some conditions.

One will be that it's restricted to the senior housing, which doesn't seem to be a problem.

Um I'm not going to make a condition, but I am going to encourage you to put up the largest trees that you guys are able to, in accordance with what Commissioner Gibson said.

Um I also want to I want to recognize that with this new use, I think you may be able to build up to 50 feet.

And so what I want to do is I want to limit you to the three stories where you're at and make sure that it doesn't go above um, I don't know if I can do this staff.

I know that we're at 37 and a half feet for the most part, and then there's a couple places on the west side, which I appreciate you guys putting them away from the residential that go up to 43.5.

Should we if we put a 43.5 limit that I mean, can we segment it like that to say but except for the elevator shafts 39 feet, and then in the place for the elevator shafts, we can go up to 44 to give them a a little bit of room, or is that not possible?

It's possible.

You can all right.

So can we do that?

So you guys say you're at 37 and a half, so I'm gonna say 39 for everywhere besides the elevator shafts, and at the elevator shafts, we're gonna go to 45.

That'll give them a 18 inches of grace.

Um that is my motion.

I do appreciate the neighbors coming out.

I spoke with some of them beforehand.

I do think this is a really good project and important for our county.

Um, but again, I do appreciate your guys' concerns also, and thanks for coming out.

And so with that, I will make the motion with the conditions on the plan amendment first.

Uh well, I guess the conditions go on to the waiver development standard.

That's correct.

So you're gonna you're gonna want to vote on the amendment.

I'm sorry, the plan amendment.

The plan amendment, the zone change and the use permit um can be together.

Okay.

Because the vacation and intended map will be voted for separately and we'll stop here.

Great at the planning commission.

But just to clarify your conditions, um, do you want to uh the first bullet point to be senior housing only?

Correct.

Um did you want to add the three-story max or did you just okay?

So so three-story max and then 30 39 feet maximum height for the building itself, correct, and then 45 for the elevator shafts.

Correct.

And then you just wanted to do do some type of advisory for the largest trees or something.

Excuse me.

I can I just ask this question.

We have a minimum, you know, like uh 15 gallon or 34 gallon or whatever the heck it is.

Is there a minimum that's and to encourage the case?

Yeah, so what I was going to do is with the with the go with the mature large trees, intense landscaping, because what I'd like to do between now and the board accounting commission is figure out the spacing between the 24-inch boxes, 36-inch boxes of what we'd be providing there because we're gonna do a double row of trees, is my understanding.

So our commitment is to do the mature trees and lay it out that way in the spacing.

So I I could do go either way, but my point is is we're gonna do the intense landscaping.

We gotta come back with our um landscape plan and make sure we lay that out and continue that conversation at the county commission.

Yeah, let's start with an advisory and sorry.

My intent behind what I said was not for him to put in a five-gallon tree that in 82 years is gonna be 35 feet tall, is to put in a bigger box tree to have a more immediate effect.

I think you got that.

Yeah, I got it in in the commission in this district.

I've worked on two other projects.

He doesn't want the trees to make sure they're above the block walls.

So I kind of already know how to maybe look at that landscape plan there.

I hear it's pretty difficult to deal with.

Um all right, so let's do an advisory for now.

And so I can do all three plan amendment zone change and oh, I start with the plan amendment.

Okay, great.

So I will start with PA 257053.

Uh I will motion with those.

Well, I don't need the conditions there.

So just motion to pass the plan amendment.

Motion on four, cast your vote.

Um Commissioner Frazier, yes.

Oh, there it is.

Great.

Motion passes.

And now I'll do the zone change amendment as well as the use permit.

The use permit.

So 37 uh sorry, 37 ZC 250853 and use permit UC 250854.

Um, with the conditions previously stated and the advisory.

All right, motion on the floor, cash your vote.

Commissioner Frazier, yes.

There it is.

I think I have to talk about it every time.

That motion carries.

And then finally, I'll do number 38 and 40, VS250852 and TM2550206.

And I apologize for those two items.

We do have uh technical difficulties, so if we can do hand votes, okay.

Uh so the motion on the floor, cast your vote.

Commissioner Frazier, yes.

Aye, aye.

Aye.

Everyone at 70, yeah.

No, no, no, no, no nays.

That the motion carries unanimously.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Uh items 363739 will be forwarded to the board of county commissioners for final action on March 4th, 2026 at 9 a.m.

Unless otherwise announced.

Uh item is 38 and 40.

Uh, this is final action unless appealed.

So next items item 41 ordinance.

Okay.

Yep.

All right.

Am I just um let me read it in if that's okay, and then there you go.

Um items.

And commissioners, this is um a discussion item for uh an ordinance that it's going to go through the public hearing process.

Um several of the requirements are due to state law that we're implementing the bills from last session.

Thank you, staff.

And so so this this yeah, yeah, this this item is just for um discussion.

Right, just for review.

For review, yeah.

And do we need to vote to move it on or no?

You don't need to vote.

Just make comments and then suggestions if you have any.

So I'm I'm gonna open, I'm gonna open up for comments on the commissioners on item 41 ordinance.

Go ahead, Commissioner Kalarski.

Hi, uh thank you, Mr.

Chair.

One quick question.

One of the it um items, and you're gonna have to go back and look, had a waiver for to allow attached sidewalks.

I think we approved it.

And so I'm guessing if you could just take a look because I think it's going to the BCC next.

So okay.

Well, look, you're saying if you'll just take a look at that.

I I I got my questions answered on on sidewalks and my concerns.

But I saw that and I thought about that.

Sorry.

Okay.

All right.

I don't think there's any further discussion on the on the ordinance.

So the last we'll move on to the final item in our in our meeting, which is public comments.

So this is the the last item in our meeting.

Um, per NRS, we have to allow public comments at our end of our meeting.

Uh, anyone in the audience wants to come down, make public comments.

The commission cannot speak or vote or discuss any items, and seeing no one coming down, I will close public comments and adjourn the meeting.

Good night.

Thank you, staff.

We need to have a lot.
