Clark County Board of County Commissioners Zoning Meeting - March 4, 2026

The Clark County Board of County Commissioners held its regular zoning meeting on March 4, 2026, at 9:00 AM in the Commission Chambers at the Clark County Government Center, Las Vegas, Nevada. The meeting addressed routine action items, non-routine public hearings, an appeal, and ordinance introductions.

Consent Calendar

• Items 5 through 23 (excluding items 11-14 which were heard separately) were approved in a single motion, subject to staff conditions and additional conditions noted for item 6 (coordinate with public works for improvements on GIL Street) and item 9 (revised comprehensive planning conditions). These items included design reviews, zone changes, use permit extensions, waivers, vacations, and plan amendments.

Public Comments & Testimony

• Mark McIntyre (3408 Wilmot, Las Vegas) spoke against items 11-14 (zone change and related applications) stating the project does not meet the definition of mixed use, will increase blight, and lacks sidewalks and street lamps. He requested the Commission not approve the zone change at this time.
• Vonnie Montoya (owner of four properties on Wilmont Street) opposed items 11-14 citing safety concerns from increased traffic and commercial trucks in a residential neighborhood, risks to pedestrians (including school children), and negative impacts on property values. She requested a comprehensive traffic impact study and mitigation plans.
• Sheila Mahoney (last name Marino, area resident) opposed items 11-14, arguing the project height and traffic are inappropriate, that only immediate neighbors were contacted, and that the neighborhood lacks sidewalks.
• Ron Marino (owner of six properties) opposed items 11-14, stating tenants may move out if the project proceeds, and that the area is a neighborhood without sidewalks.
• Jack Valero (property owner on Frontier and Pioneer) opposed items 11-14, stating the development is out of scale for the neighborhood, that the area is already surrounded by shopping centers, and that a previous nearby school had to be demolished due to homeless issues.
• Cynthia Chapel (234 Molly Court) spoke against items 41-43 (senior housing development) during the first public comment period; the chair noted those items would be heard later and she deferred. Later, during the hearing, she testified that the project was unanimously disapproved at a neighborhood meeting, would reduce home values, block views, and that the zone change allows too many residents in a small area. She also noted that the adjacent homes are million-dollar homes and a low-income apartment does not fit the community.
• Al Rojas (Sunrise Manor resident) spoke during the public hearing on item 36 and during final public comment. He urged the applicant and businesses to secure trash enclosures to help combat homelessness and encampments, and recommended the creation of an ordinance enforcement coordinating committee to ensure uniform enforcement of new ordinances, especially the no-camping ordinance.

Discussion Items

• Items 11-14 (Isabelle Investments): Combined hearing for a plan amendment, zone change, vacation of rights-of-way, and waivers with design review for a proposed mixed-use shopping center (retail and restaurants, no nightclubs) with a two-story parking garage at Decatur and Pioneer. The applicant (Sheldon Collin) noted a neighborhood meeting was held, the project includes landscaping, detached sidewalks, and a parking garage shielded by vertical elements and trees. Commissioner Jones moved for approval, stating the project will increase property value and address crime/homeless issues. The motion carried.
• Item 24 (Lofts Phases 2 & 3, LLC): Fourth extension of time for a zone change to CR and use permit for a residential condominium development. The applicant reported significant progress on phase three (drainage/traffic studies completed, off-site bond approved, approved for Mylar) and requested one additional year. The public hearing saw no opposition. Commissioner Jones moved for approval with a one-year condition, and the motion passed.
• Item 25 (Nobles & Clark): Holdover amended use permits for a stable and related waivers for a single-family residence on 1.25 acres in Enterprise. The applicant (Brandon Clark) met with staff to address ingress/egress concerns. Commissioner Jones added a condition to coordinate with public works on an on-site turnaround, potentially relocating landscaping. The motion carried.
• Items 27-28 (Hearts Alive Hooves, LLC): Combined hearing for vacation of easements and use permits for housing for agricultural employees and a stable on 5.09 acres in Kyle Canyon. The applicant (Melissa Yeri) detailed the horse rescue expansion, including 53 horse stalls, indoor arena, and agricultural worker housing. Waivers requested due to topography (retaining walls up to 11 feet, fill up to 12 feet). Commissioner Becker noted the rockery wall condition to blend in with the natural environment. The motion for approval carried.
• Items 29-30 (2151 Sunset, LLC): Vacation and waivers for an office/warehouse complex with outdoor storage on 2.46 acres in Paradise. The applicant (Lucy Stewart) explained that the waivers address a drainage channel and shared driveway that prevent a double wall and landscaping. Commissioner Gibson praised the project and moved for approval subject to town board conditions. The motion carried.
• Item 34 (TCB Enterprises NV, LLC): Waivers and design review for a vehicle maintenance facility on 0.97 acres in Enterprise. The applicant (Christian Barthes) stated that flipping the building orientation to avoid doors facing Silverado is not feasible due to a 100-foot utility easement. Commissioner Jones expressed concern about parking spaces opposite the driveway and suggested holding the item for two weeks to allow further discussion. A motion to hold until March 18, 2026, passed.
• Item 36 (T & P Investments, LLC): Waivers and design review for storage containers at an existing office/warehouse in Sunrise Manor. The applicant (Lucy Stewart) noted the building predates current code and cannot meet street landscaping requirements; a fee-in-lieu will be paid. Public comment from Al Rojas urged proper trash enclosures. Commissioner Sagerblum moved for approval with condition to pay into the tree fund for buffer and street landscaping. The motion carried.
• Items 41-43 (Mai Huan Quan & Zhong Qing): Combined hearing for a plan amendment, zone change to RM32, and use permit for senior affordable housing (167 units) on 4.70 acres near Silverado Ranch Boulevard. The applicant (Bob Gronauer) detailed six neighborhood meetings, design changes (from four-story to three-story with pitched roof at 39.5 feet, elevator shafts at 44 feet), and a commitment to deed-restrict affordability for 50 years. Commissioner Jones noted that the site currently has illegal activities (idling trucks, dumping) and that the project will address those issues. He moved for approval with conditions including providing a public drainage easement and physically blocking Walmer Castle Lane within 30 days. The motion carried.
• Items 44-45 (Babcock Riverwalk, LLC): Zone change to IP and use permits for outdoor storage and truck parking on 2.81 acres near Nellis AFB. The applicant (Melissa Yeri) described a secured facility with crash gates, cameras, and a guard shack. Commissioner Kirkpatrick added conditions: replace fence with code-compliant fence, no advertising, emergency contact info, no overnight sleeping, no unhitched trailers for more than a week, no idling near residents, install off-site improvements on Las Vegas Boulevard North, and provide a roving security guard at all times. The motion carried.
• Items 46-49 (Wigwam and Eastern, LLC): Zone change to RS5.2, vacation, waivers, and tentative map for five single-family lots on 1.13 acres in Paradise. The applicant (Robert Cunningham) argued the development is compatible infill, with single-story homes next to a horse property and larger lots. Public opposition from Robin Rocky (neighbor) stated the Town Board recommended denial, that five homes are too many for the parcel, and that the adjacent character is low-density. Thomas Papania also opposed, noting the area is rural and five homes would cause traffic and aesthetic issues. Commissioner Jones noted the previously approved church use would be more intense, and that the project conforms to the land use. He moved for approval. The motion carried.
• Item 52 (Appeal AC-26-900052): Appeal of the denial of a reasonable zoning accommodation request for backyard chickens at 6163 Port Tack Drive (Sunrise Manor). The applicant was not present. Staff argued the request lacked evidence of therapeutic need for chickens specifically, posed a public health risk, and would fundamentally alter the residential zoning. Commissioner Sagerblum stated he had learned about support chickens but could not refute staff's reasoning and moved to deny the appeal without prejudice. The motion carried.
• Items 53-55 (Ordinance Introductions): Introduction of three ordinances: a development agreement with Tripp Family Investments for commercial development (1.21 acres), a development agreement with DR Horton for single-family residential development (4.84 acres), and an amendment to the official zoning map. Staff recommended introduction and setting the public hearing for March 18, 2026. The Commission approved unanimously.
