Uh UC 260049, holdover use permit to allow outdoor storage, waivers of development standards for the following.

Number one, modified residential adjacency standards, two uh reduce buffering and screening.

Three, eliminate street landscaping and four fence.

Design review for outdoor storage on uh 0.46 acres in CR commercial resort zone, generally located east of Fremont Street and north of Oakie Boulevard within Sunrise Manor.

All right, thank you very much.

Let name and address for the record.

Tell us about your application.

It'd be a 2909 Fremont Street.

That's uh the lot for Frank Stukey.

I'm here to represent him.

And uh yeah, so I know the last meeting here name, please.

Your name.

Joe Hegony, sorry.

Spell your last name.

H E A G A N Yes and that's just so we have the record clear.

No, yeah, yeah, for sure.

So uh I know the last time that whoever uh represented for Frank did it.

I know that they drew up Frank had his own for this law, his own drawn-up plans.

I know you guys wanted it all to uh to scale and drawn up with scope of work and everything in there, so that's what we went ahead and did.

I don't know if you guys have reviewed this on PDF form or whatever.

If you guys want me to flip through it here, but anyways, you know, he's looking at asphalt the whole thing for outdoor storage.

He's got a chain linker on the outside, and then in the notes there add two foot to the block wall in the back and landscape the front, add you know, two trees and two boulders and a little setback in the back of eight foot of landscape rock.

So he's been taking pictures as well of the the lot outside, and I know that there was an issue before of cars being parked along that from the tenant next door who's uh owning the car dealership, and that's all been cleaned up and they've been working to keep everything off of that.

So there's no work being done inside of this area is strictly just gonna be for cars to be stored in.

There's gonna be no mechanics work or nothing of the sorts, all the cars, they're not gonna be junk cars sitting there, you know.

Sometimes you'll see crappy cars that have been burnt, you know, and stuff like that.

These are all gonna be operable cars just sitting there for storage purposes.

So all right.

Um, so what I'll do is um if that's your presentation, I'll I'll I'll open this item up for a public hearing.

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

Now is the time to do so.

All right, seeing no one come down to speak on this item.

I will close the public hearing and I'll open it up to our commissioners for comments and questions.

I'll start on my left on Commissioner Kirk.

Thank you, Mr.

Chairman.

I just have one quick question.

The the um representation there you have in front of us shows landscaping along Fremont Street.

However, your waiver number three says eliminate last landscaping.

Um help me.

Do you are you gonna eliminate uh waiver number three or yeah, waiver three will be eliminated.

I'm not sure if the owner Frank himself has went and updated what waivers are gonna be in action because he's originally he didn't want to go do, he just wanted to asphalt the whole thing, and what I told him was look, that's not gonna be no, we want the area to look nice.

Yep, that that's the idea.

I sure I'm sure you guys agree with it too.

The ideal is for the area to look nice, you know, add a little bit of landscape, make it look nice.

So, and add it at a landscape area as well, so that cars aren't gonna be able to be parked without on the outside of that barrier.

You know, everything's gonna be kept there inside.

So that that eight foot of landscape in the front will be that's that's how it's gonna be on the plan.

So if that is a waiver in there, I'm not familiar with if Frank kept that in there as a waiver or not, but that that won't be the case, no.

So that that waiver will not be happy.

Okay, so for the record, then the applicant is uh offering to eliminate waiver number three, just so we know that.

Um, Commissioner, uh, I mean, uh, if that's the intent, we need to see the plan because uh originally what we thought was required was four trees, and now they're showing two trees.

So without reviewing the plans, unless they want to just redraw it and say they're gonna comply with the landscape later, whatever code requires, they can do that.

But without reviewing the plan, we don't know if that meets the that two trees only meets the requirement of the code.

Code requires four.

Um I I remember when we reviewed it, there were four trees shown based on their driveway size.

They said four trees uh will be um is requested to be waved.

Okay.

Is that I have a quick question.

Is that four trees on the entire lot or is it the spacing of them specific?

Or I'm not sure if any of you guys know that uh of that code or anything of the sorts.

So so I guess what I'm hearing is staff, you haven't had a chance to review the plans that are being shown on the podium right now.

Uh we received a revised plan today, this morning, after following up.

Uh we did not get a chance to do a thorough review, but uh what we saw triggered a few more waivers, basically.

So we advised the applicant that this item, if uh proposed as presented, needs to be re-notified.

All right, all right.

So um let me keep going.

Um Vice Chairman Hika, did you have any you had your line on earlier?

Are you okay right now?

Okay.

Oh, I'll I'll go to uh Commissioner Kollarski.

Okay.

I want to tell you that today I went by there.

I am the commissioner, planning commissioner for district D.

And you had cars still parked in the landscape.

You had a black and red and a white car, and you still had six cars parked on the street.

So that picture that you just showed saying we've cleaned it all up, is not in fact all truth.

You may have done it three weeks ago and it was clean.

You took the picture, but then it went back.

Okay.

I'm not done.

I'm looking at an original.

I think the drawings I have here.

Okay, the floor, the site plans shows landscaping in the back, but you're showing me this rendering that's got no landscaping in the back.

So I don't know what you're doing.

This is why I wanted Mr.

Stuckey directly to speak to the planner.

And I specifically said that at the last meeting.

Not one time, two or three times I said it.

He has not.

Okay, so that tells me that he's not interested in really getting this to work.

You need to have drive aisles if you're gonna have this as a storage place.

There are no drive aisles in there.

You need to have some landscaping in the front.

I'm okay with the wall.

But I do want to have some landscaping in the front and the back.

I don't know if your gates according to this plan.

And this plan shows a driveway with for access onto Fremont Street.

You got to get that through NDOT, which is Nevada Department of Transportation.

That if that's what he wants to do, otherwise, and I have to ask who are the owners of all these cars that are being stored.

I'm not sure exactly who the owners are.

I mean, I've uh will end dot still be required.

Are they a part of the the dealership next door?

I the direct owners of the cars, no.

Oh no, no, no, but I'm they're in there, they belong to somebody.

Yeah.

Are they being stored there and and and paying rent to be stored there?

I'm not sure on what the financial financials of uh if there's payments for the or if they're a part of the dealership next door, then that adds other waivers that need to be added.

That creates other problems.

We need to have that done if he wants this approved, and I don't think he wants us approved if he's not going to comply with the request that this board has made.

I I for sure I understand everything you're saying.

Is there uh I guess what I'm gonna ask from you is I have a couple items.

What specifically landscape wise would need to happen to get this passed because I I was the one who had these plans all drawn up for Frank.

I I work with Frank.

I'm not obviously the cars in the street from what I was told by the dealership were because I know the dealership was parking them all on the street, which I I'm with you.

That's 100% wrong.

The dealership should not be that's the whole goal here is to make this look better, and they were parking on the street.

So if that's the case, that's for sure wrong of them to do, and they didn't help anybody's cause by doing that.

You know what I mean?

I I'm for sure with you, but I guess what I would ask is what needs to be done landscape-wise to get it passed and with NDOT.

That that existing roll-up driveway curb is already existing.

What would need to happen there to get everything passed?

I'm just asking what needs to happen, what are the plans need to look like.

What needed to happen is that you needed to talk to the planner so that he could give you the whole thing.

So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna give you one last shot.

I'm gonna hold this for no date certain.

Okay, which means that, and and that's gonna mean Mr.

Stuckey is going to have to re-notify, you're gonna have to go back to town board.

You're gonna have to basically start all over.

I'm gonna do that, no date certain.

And if you're working directly with Mr.

Stuckey, then you need to get with Mr.

Demerit in current planning yourself and sit down with him and get together so that he can tell you specifically putting those two parcels together, what waivers you're gonna need because doing that is gonna create more waivers.

You don't have enough waivers here.

As far as landscaping goes, I want the landscaping in the back, and I want landscaping in the front.

I'm not uh and I want drive aisles.

This thing, you've got to have drive aisles.

You if if you can't get the the access out to Fremont, then you have to have cross access with somebody, either that vacant lot on your north or the car dealership on the south.

And I'm basically, I think that those two are are tied together.

I really do.

That's my which two are tied together?

The the dealership and the storage yard.

I believe they're based on the justification letter that I read.

Uh, yeah, they're they're tied together.

What was the justification that I'm I'm just looking for clarification on it because I know that these are two separate lots?

Okay, tell you what, tell you what.

Yeah.

Uh when when we get done here, I'll meet you right there and I'll show you what I'm talking about.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

I'm just curious on what the justification is.

Okay.

And but I'll sit with you and I'll show you right there.

Okay.

I'm not, I'm not trying to argue a hundred percent.

I just want to know what you're we're we're gonna give you the opportunity to fix it.

Okay, so let's go for a motion.

And like I said, the landscaping, just so long as you know that, but I'll tell you that over there.

Uh I'm gonna move to hold this for no date certain, and uh then you'll have to start the renotification process all over again.

And you need to get with Steve Demir, okay, as the planner.

That's my motion.

Then what is the meaning of no date certain?

I'm just curious for the that means that that's motion on the floor, Cash Revote.

All right, that motion carries.

Next item.

Thank you, guys.

Item 18, WS 260154, holdover raver of development standards to reduce the setback in conjunction with an existing single family residence on 0.22 acres in an RS 3.3 residential single family 3.3 zone within the airport uh environments AE65 overlay.

Generally located south of Twinkle Star Drive and west of Walnut Road within Sunrise Manor.

Uh thank you very much.

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

My name is Jesus Basua.

I'm representing my dad Juan Bazoa.

Just translating.

Um we come to we we he built something in 2015 uh a storage.

Uh and I guess they didn't have a setback of 15 feet from the wall, so we're just trying to get like so we could get a setback from like that storage that we did right here.

It's like the setback for the other side.

You can put your other pictures up all together or move that one.

Um you can do if you can fit them all on there.

Um the the engineer can then um yes, she can adjust or he can adjust.

The person can adjust.

Um I don't know if you need no, it doesn't fit.

So do you have a plan showing you um the property and the setback from the property line?

Is that good, John?

Uh yes, I should uh, stop the storage is back here.

All right, all right, I see.

All right, so um I'm gonna open this application up for a public hearing.

Anyone in the audience like to speak on this item now's the time to come down and do so.

All right, seeing no one coming down to speak on this item, we will close the public hearing and I'll open it up to the commissioners for any questions.

Commissioner Workman.

Uh just go on the record to say theoretically with the structure, I'm okay with it, but in staff's notes, they mentioned that the colors uh do not match.

So I would require that the building be painted as a condition in order to match the home and and the rest of the area.

Um but otherwise I think I would be okay with this, depending on the opinion of the rest of the board.

Uh thank you, Commissioner Workman.

Any any other comments, questions?

All right.

So so I'm I'm I'm definitely okay with it.

I agree with the commissioner workman.

We want to get it painted um to match the um the pro the uh main structure.

So what I will do is I will move for approval of Worry.

I'm sorry, you WS 260154 um with the added condition that the applicant must paint the structure to match the main the main building.

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

The motion carries.

Good luck.

All right, thank you.

Uh this is final action unless appealed.

Uh item number 19, WS 260172, waiver of development standards uh to reduce setbacks for existing detached uh carport in conjunction with an existing single family residence on 0.50 acres in an RS20 residential single family 20 zone within the neighborhood protection overlay.

Generally located north of Warm Springs and east of Hinston Street with an Enterprise.

Good afternoon.

My name is Francisco Salinas.

10201, Splendid Ridge Avenue, Las Vegas, Nevada, 89135.

And really, I'm just here to withdraw the uh his petition for the structure.

He decided that it's not worth it for him to keep it up.

So he's gonna take it down and um get rid of it.

Okay.

So are you saying you're withdrawing the application?

Is that what is that what I'm hearing?

Um whether we withdraw it, um the result is he's just gonna take it down.

Um yeah, all right.

So um no presentation.

Let me open this up for public hearing.

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

I'm opening this application up for public hearing.

All right, seeing no one coming down to speak on this item, I'm gonna close the public hearing, and then I'm going to um turn it over to Commissioner Workman.

Uh given that the applicant does not want to present their application, it appears that they would like to withdraw it.

Staff, can we amend the application to a withdrawal?

We can uh allow the uh applicant uh upon the request to withdraw the application.

Yeah, so so sorry about that.

Just for clarification, um I just want to ask uh the gentleman if he's the applicant or are they representing the applicant?

He's representing the applicant, and he's to he's stating that on rec on record that he wants to remove the structure, so there's no lead for application.

Okay, uh that's a good point.

So Commissioner Workman, um Commissioner Brady made a good point.

Um, because he's not the actual owner, it might just be best to go ahead and just deny the application, and then that way we we we do our part, and he can go do his part.

Okay, I motion to deny the application.

Application WUS260172.

All right, there's a motion on the floor, cast a vote.

Thank you very much.

That that motion passes.

Good luck to you.

Uh this is final action unless uh appealed.

Uh item number 20, uh WS 260178, waivers of development standards for the following.

One, eliminate setbacks, and two, reduce building separation in conjunction with an existing single-family residence on point uh 0.18 acres in an RRS 5.2 residential single family 5.2 zone.

Generally located north of Halburn Avenue and east of Abeston Way within Sunrise Manor.

Thank you very much.

Name and address for the record.

Tell us about your application.

Uh Larry Beckman, 1228 Osbeston Way, Las Vegas, Nevada, 89110.

And I have a carport there on the north side of my property.

I put up for classic cars now, but eventually uh RV.

And I understand that the setbacks are not to what the codes are by masking for that waiver.

Neighbor north of us have a signed approval letter for you.

Okay, all right.

That um that that's applicable presentation.

So we're gonna um open this application up for a public hearing.

Anyone in the audience would like to speak on this item now's the time to come down and do so.

All right, seeing no one come down.

We're gonna close the public hearing and I'm going to open up to commissioners for questions and comments.

Um that the letter from your neighbor is is was that presented to staff.

Do we have that on record?

Okay.

Yes, I do.

Any questions from the commissioners?

Commissioner Workman.

Uh, for staff, do we know if it looks like there was two protest cards?

Do we know if either of those are from the immediately adjacent neighbors?

I can tell you.

If you look at your map, uh see where it says Avenue, right there on the corner.

Commissioner Roitman.

That one was opposing, and then the other one is over there off of uh challenge lane and rabbit springs.

But I can tell you what's a little odd is directly across from the opposer, which is two doors down from this house.

They supported it.

So you have neighbors right across the street from each other.

One opposed, one supports.

Okay.

Um I I honestly don't have an issue with the application.

Um, especially because you got this neighbor that's got the that's right adjacent.

So um we'll turn it over to Commissioner Kalarski.

Oh, I'm sorry, Commissioner Brady.

Sorry, one thing I just want to mention is with the carport when it rains, the way that the water is gonna come down, is it gonna go underneath the shingles or anything like that?

And I'm just thinking more on the building side of it.

It seems that that could be a future issue coming.

You have spacing six inches on one side for the water to go inside the wall, and then approximately the same on the other.

Yeah, I just wanted to I just wanted to throw that out there for future damage of the property, but I'm gonna leave it to the other commissioners.

So Commissioner Whiteman.

I was just can't I'm just kinda spinning around here on Google Maps, and it looks like there's a lot of very similar things here.

So I if it's good with the rest of the commission, I can support this application.

Commissioner Klarski.

Okay, um I keep approving these, I'm not a big fan of them, but I do approve them.

Uh and and I know that uh you're on the inside, so you're adjacent to the neighbor to your north, and that's the one you got the letter from.

Uh near six inches, right?

From your six inches from the neighbor to the north.

Yeah, the the overhang yet.

The overhang, yes.

Yes.

Commissioner Klarski.

Is that is that attached to the wall?

I I I've got to answer.

No, it it's freestanding.

Okay.

Commissioner Kalarski, if you if you wouldn't mind, I can I give a couple of questions.

Sure.

Um, how long is this carport been up?

Uh August of last year.

I went to do the building permit afterwards, and it's been approved with structural and design waiting for the waiver if you give it to the case.

Okay, fair enough.

So what what I Commissioner Kalarski, what I would what I would offer is that um if you move forward with approval that we just and I hate I don't want to be a burden on the on the homeowner, but just maybe have a two-year review period so they can come back and we can just maybe reassess quickly before we allow them to go away forever.

I'm always okay with the review period.

So that's what I'm gonna do.

I'm gonna I'm gonna follow what they want want me to do, but you have a year to complete now.

Is can we do that year to be after that year for the completion?

I got staff.

Can we can we do the two-year review from now for after finishing permits?

After no, I I'd like to do it before or from the date of approval, and then they have a year to get the permits done.

We can do that.

Sorry, you mean um keep the condition for one year to complete the billing permit and inspect inspection process as is, and then add a separate condition for one year review from today or from the No, it would be two years from today, and one year for completion.

Sure.

So we keep the first condition as is, and then we add another condition for two year review.

And that'll mean that after he's gets it done, he'll have a year, so we can have a year for review.

Right, it's gonna be a total of two years.

Do you understand that?

I'm confusing the heck out of them.

So once I get the uh inspections, it's permitted.

I just reapply for here, or what do I have to do to fit that?

Talk to your planner, and they can tell you which or go ahead, Jason.

So just to clarify, uh within one year from today, the building permit needs to be issued, inspected, finalized, done, and then two years from today, you'll have to come back and apply for an application for review with our department.

Okay, yes.

Okay.

So keep your neighbors happy.

Make sure you put it in your your calendar.

Okay, so that's my motion.

All right, there's a motion on the floor.

Cash to vote.

That motion carries.

Good luck.

Thank you guys.

This is final action unless appealed.

We're jumping over to item 27.

Uh PA 26700005.

Plan amendment to redesignate the existing land use category from neighborhood commercial NC to business employment B on 4.128.

Excuse me, staff.

Um, how about 21?

Do we do that?

So uh those items have been uh 21.

Yeah, 21.

Yeah, thank you.

Do you have 21?

21.

Well, let's uh let's go ahead and re-uh just do that over.

Sorry about that.

Um item 21, uh WS26 uh 0185 waivers of development standards for the following uh reduce setback and uh two modify neighborhood protection overlay standards uh for proposed uh addition in conjunction with an existing single family residence on 0.45 acres in an RS20 residential single family 20 uh zone within the uh neighborhood protection overlay, generally located north of Lone Mountain Road and west of Sweetie Court within Lone Mountain.

Are you the applicant for 21?

Uh yeah, I did the application.

Okay, can you introduce yourself, name and address?

My name is Corey Franco, and I live at 5527 San Palazo Court, Las Vegas.

Tell us about your application.

It's uh about 39 by 18, and we're looking for a setback variants.

Do you have any images or anything with what you're trying to do?

Um I have the plans all printed here and some pictures.

Can you set them in the middle?

There's that where you see that box if you set them in there and show we can all see it on our screens here.

You have more than one.

Can you separate them?

Yeah, can you please separate them and so that we can see them?

So if they look good to you, they will look good to us.

Yeah, if you can just go through an example, okay.

So you're gonna piece them all together.

Oh no.

Will you be making a presentation to us and explaining what all this is?

Or sure.

Yeah, go ahead.

So this picture here is that's the existing garage.

We want to extend the building to that side.

It's gonna look exactly like that, same color paint, same roof, same trim, same stone detail that you see there.

Yeah, and are you taking this to the and you want to go five feet off the fence line?

Is that correct?

It's more than five, but less than ten.

Okay.

Um one thing I'll mention is I drove by the house today.

Um I took pictures of of the house, I took pictures of the neighbors' houses, I tried to drive around the area and see is there anything like this out there?

Um I didn't see anything when I was driving around.

Um, I saw a car port or RB port like a block away.

Um, so I'm trying to that's kind of a statement there.

Yeah, so so if if if if it let's let's do a point of order.

Um, are you finished presenting?

I would just like to say that there is uh another garage on the same street on the same side of the road.

Okay, are you finished presenting?

With this, no.

Okay, so can um continue your presentation.

Okay, so this page here shows the existing conditions.

The elevation plans are pretty self-explanatory what the building will look like from the front.

The side.

And there's a site plan.

And that's all the drawings that I have, other than the picture of the uh other garage that's on the same street.

It's not attached, but it's uh it doesn't meet the setback requirements.

Engineer, can you zoom in on that, please?

Yeah, that's the guy there circled in red.

It's three houses down from our address.

And that letter is representing what uh this is something that the uh they asked me for when I was doing the preliminary application, and that letter just explains what it's showing that's our address there, and then that circled building there is where the uh detached garage is a similar condition in the neighborhood.

The only difference is it's not connected.

All right, not attached.

That concludes your presentation.

It does.

Okay, great.

Can I open this application up for a public hearing?

Anyone in the audience like to speak on this item?

Now it's time to come down, please.

All right, seeing no one coming down to speak on this item.

I want to close the public hearing, and I'll open up to commissioners for questions, comments, and and so Commissioner Brady, I think you had some some things you wanted to oh oh I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Commissioner Commissioner Kalaski.

Yeah, uh can you just show me the picture of where your separation is between for your second waiver?

The side interior.

Are you referring to something that's on the screen?

I'll I'm referring to what I'm reading here.

Allow the side interior setback to not be in accordance where required.

So I'm trying to figure out where it's at, and yeah.

Oh so so, engineer, can you zoom in on A4.

I think that is the one in the center.

Yeah, yeah, top center would be it, yeah.

Yeah, keep zooming.

Thank you.

So where is it that corner?

It's the entire side of the proposed edition is less than 10 greater than five feet from the property line.

Uh sorry, that's actually uh A10.

Okay, all right.

It's where that's my bad.

I gave wrong directions.

So um engineer, can you go to A1?

A1 point zero.

Yeah, but on the screen.

So this is street.

Yeah, it is.

Thank you, staff.

Oh, it's over here.

Yeah, so either of these drawings would show it.

I don't see any.

Okay, so it doesn't meet the the on the top, it doesn't make the setback.

That would show it too, yeah.

Sure.

Okay.

Zoom in on that one so we can take a look.

Perfect.

Oh, okay.

Thank you.

And now there's a existing grriveway with a gate there.

Right now, it looks like it's set up for RV parking.

That whole side of the thank you.

Commissioner Kirk.

Thank you.

Uh just looking at uh Google Earth.

I see, I think uh I just down the street, a couple of uh across the street, and uh north of uh uh a little bit.

I uh a few houses.

I see an uh a detached garage with two bays.

And frankly, I think that that looks worse than what you're proposing.

Um at least yours is gonna be attached uh to your house, and this one looks like it's probably it does not meet the code on uh setback requirements.

I would imagine it looks pretty close to the wall.

So I don't I don't I mean as long as it's architecturally meets uh your neighborhood guidelines.

Is there an HOA?

The HOA approved it already.

Okay, then I have no problem with it then.

Thank you.

All right, thank you.

Commissioner Whiteman.

Yeah, just just to pile on a little bit.

I I think I see a couple off of Lone Mountain as well in the neighborhood.

And yeah, if the HOA approved it, I don't have a problem.

All right, thank you.

Commissioner Brady.

Hi.

So you had when I was looking at the one on the right, you are right.

There's one set back away is on the right hand side.

I went and I have a picture of the one on the far left.

Yeah, it's 10 feet away from the wall, so it does meet that setback.

Oh, it is.

It is 10 feet away.

Um I also counted the cinder blocks, did the math, and it's actually exactly 10 feet away.

Um, though the one I do see across the street up the way, it doesn't just from the aerial doesn't seem as if it's 10 feet away.

You know, where I'm having a little bit of issue with this is this is within the RFP area, so it's the place where everybody in the neighborhood has been fighting to make sure that we keep a half acre minimum.

And so in this it's not a half acre minimum, so people can build tall things on the edge of the property line.

It's to protect the easements and to protect the separation between the homes.

Um so on the other side of this of your home, there's a huge area.

And uh by the way, I lived right down the street.

Um not the same street, but I lived right in that area for for a long time.

That's why I bought an area, is because I had that space.

I had that that breathable room.

Um, I had a garden on the side, it was just that's what that's why people moved to this area.

And so when we start encroaching and taking in on the easements, especially when on the other side of the property, there's plenty of that space.

That's where I have a hard time approving this because I know many of us have voted on other issues in this area, or a lot of times it doesn't even reach here because everybody in the neighborhood gets together and says we're not going to allow people to encroach on these areas.

Yep.

And that yet this is just a different way of doing it.

And so that's where I just have a little bit of concern.

Um so that's one thing I've been asked by people is to try to protect our our easements and separate and keep space in between the homes.

And that's why for me, I can't approve it.

If what the other commissioners can do what they want to do, but for me, I have to stand by and please move it to the other side.

All right, okay.

I'm yeah, I don't know.

So yeah, you can go ahead and make a motion, Commissioner Brady.

So let me pull up the number.

So um I'd like to make a motion to not approve and so to deny WS-260185 as presented.

All right, so there's a motion on the floor, cast your vote.

All right, so that motion carries, and um the staff can um give you your op your next options.

Thank you.

Uh this item is final latched unless appealed.

All right, uh item number 27.

Uh PA 26705 plan amendment to redesignate the existing land use category from neighborhood commercial to business employment on 4.12 acres, generally located uh west of Edmond Street and north of Oquendo Road within Spring Valley.

Uh 28 is a companion item, zone change, uh Z Z 2607 uh z 70.

Zone change to uh reclassify 4.12 acres from uh from uh RS20 residential single family 20 zone and a CP commercial professional zone to an IP industrial park zone, generally located west of Edmonds Street and North Oak Oquendo Road within Spring Valley.

And Edmund Street and Mohawk Street, a portion of the right of way being Oquendo Road, located between Edmonds Street and Mohawk Street.

A portion of it right away being Edmonds Street, located between Oquendo Road and Quail Avenue, and a portion of a right-of-way being Quail Avenue, located between Edmond Street and Mohawk Street within Spring Valley.

Item 30, WS 26072.

Waivers of Development Standards for the following one, reduce setbacks, two modify residential adjacency standards, and three alternative driveway geometrics.

Design review for a proposed office warehouse building on 4.12 acres in an IP industrial park zone within the airport environs, a E6C overlay, generally located north of Aquendo Road and west of Edmond Street within Spring Valley.

Thank you, staff.

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 app on behalf of the applicant.

Just south of Russell Road, which runs to the north, and on the west side of Edmund is where the site is located.

It sits between Quail Avenue to the north and Oquundo Road to the south.

The property right now is master planned as you can see in pink for neighborhood commercial.

And the request before you tonight is for a plan amendment and then corresponding zone change to take the neighborhood commercial to business employment, which you see approved to the north as well as across Edmund to the east, and there is some additional business employment as you travel southbound on Edmond.

The request is for an office warehouse project.

This is Edmund sitting on the east.

You have Quail to the north and Oquendo to the south.

Uh to the west side is where the residential is.

So a couple things that I want to point out on this plan.

First of all, there are no entrances or exits onto Oquendo Road or Quail Avenue.

Both driveways face and front onto Edmond Street, and as a reminder across Edmond Street is additional office warehouse.

The colors in blue are the buildings themselves.

And then as you move to the west, I want to point out that we are proposing to do a 30-foot wide landscape buffer.

Code would require 20 feet with two rows of trees.

We're providing uh 30 feet and three rows of trees.

Specific to the trees, um, we have talked to a neighbor that lives on the other side uh to the west of where this project is, and he is here tonight to speak.

But we did share with him a list of trees from the um approved tree list, and in specifically these two trees were selected uh for the way they look and for how fast they grow.

It's the escarpment oak as well as the Monterey Oak.

And what we plan to do is vary those two trees in the first two rows of trees closest to the west side, and then we'll mix in a different tree on that third row that's closest to the building.

It is also important to point out that we are not doing uh providing any travelways, parkways, parking spaces, loading spaces, even quite frankly, doorways to the west.

This is meant to be and will remain a landscape buffer.

In fact, uh down on the ends here on either end, we will be providing some gating so that nobody can get back there and perhaps stay back there inappropriately so.

It is entirely meant just to be a landscape buffer.

While I'm talking about the west boundary, I did want to bring up that another request was that we install a 10-foot block wall on the west boundary.

Um initially, I believe uh the staff report calls out an eight-foot block wall, but as a request from one of the neighbors, which we're happy to do, we would do an eight uh excuse me, a 10-foot block wall on the west boundary, and so along that line, we would ask a condition to be added that would read applicant to install a 10-foot decorative block wall along the west boundary of the site.

Just we have we do show that on our plans, but I think it's important to add it as a condition just so that um it's known that we intend to do a 10-foot block wall.

We prepared this exhibit in working um with our neighbor to the west, um, just to show how we were gonna handle the landscaping, the three rows of trees that I just presented.

So this would be uh the neighbor's property over here, and then on this side, you see the three rows of trees.

And what we're gonna do is for the first two rows of trees, we're gonna build that up about two feet or so that those trees get have the appearance of um getting taller quicker, and that is closer to the neighbor's side, and then that third row of trees, which sits closer to the building, sits um what I'll call at grade or the finished floor of what the building will be.

This gives you an idea of the front side of the building.

This is the side that will face towards Edmond.

Um the concept here, while yes, again, we're asking for the plan amendment and the zone change to go to BE and IP for an office warehouse, but we really wanted it to not appear that way, and so the goal here was to really provide some type of um exterior elevation that would look more commercial in nature, even though this is intended to be used as an office warehouse.

I wanted to show this exhibit.

So in the staff report for the waiver, we do have waiver number one, uh, which talks about removing the side setback for the fire pump room right here that would be adjacent to Quail Avenue.

We are asking to withdraw that.

We no longer need it.

We have found a place where we can uh meet code on that.

So we would ask for that waiver to be withdrawn.

In addition, waiver number two A talks about allowing a 40-foot um tall building.

And where the where the 41 feet came was in this idea that uh we would make the rear elevation or the west elevation of this building look more like retail.

Um oftentimes with warehouses, they're just very flat roofs.

So uh we added this decorative element that was just a pop-up along that west boundary.

But in talking with the neighbor that lives to the west, really for him, and I don't want to speak for him, he's very articulate and will speak for himself.

But he wanted to make sure that height came down as much as possible.

So we are now asking to withdraw uh waiver 2A because the height of the entire building will be 35 feet.

So this shows you what that building will now look like, three rows of trees, no pitched roof um elements, and so now the height will remain at 35 feet in total.

This exhibit, while not necessarily required, it was a point of discussion just in general, and I think it's important to point out.

So you can see the natural topography here has a lot of natural grading that comes from Oquendo and moves in this direction towards Edmond.

Um, what this project, if it's approved, will do is capture the flows under uh OQENO and then take them along this dotted line under ground and then deposit it here.

So that will open up this land obviously to be developed for the pieces that this is vacant, and even this neighbor's property, you can kind of see they haven't really been able to use that back corner of their property by taking that drainage the way we're gonna take it, it would um fix some existing conditions that are out there today.

So I'll wrap up my presentation by saying that I know um the uh Mr.

Cowan who's gonna talk after me.

We've had very lively discussions about this project.

I appreciate the debate of it.

The goal that we tried to achieve, knowing that this property was already master planned for neighborhood commercial.

There's a lot of intense uses that can come in commercial as well.

And yes, this is a change, and yes, it's an office warehouse, but the my goal was to have the developer present something that appeared um in commercial character with the elevations and really minimized any type of intensity next to that west boundary.

And we did that by making sure that we didn't have any access drive aisles, doorways, truck um deliveries.

None of that occurs west of that blue building.

We just have those three rows of trees, the 30-foot buffer.

We limited the height.

Um we really tried to do it in a way that was sensitive, understanding our neighbors to the west.

He's been gracious to meet with us a number of times, and I appreciate that.

So that was our goal and really the design of this building and how we approached this site.

I'll conclude my presentation for now and be happy to answer any questions after the public hearing concludes.

Thank you very much.

Um for a public hearing.

Now's the opportunity to come down and speak on this item.

Seeing anyone come on down and tell us your name and address for the record so the record is clear, and then give us your comments.

Bruce Cowan 5840 Mohawk.

They have made some efforts to make it not so bad, but it's still it's terrible.

And it is bad public planning.

And you know, the staff has recommended no for on every single line item is my understanding that you guys are looking at.

The town board you voted unanimously in opposition, and all the neighbors are opposed to it.

Um we don't think that it makes any sense for the community.

We think it's bad public planning for Las Vegas as a whole.

We don't think warehouses belong next to rural preservation areas.

We think warehouses belong in areas where there are people that uh that need work and don't have to drive 25 miles on the road to get to their locations.

Um it goes against the master plan.

What's the point of having a master plan if you're not gonna abide by it?

It goes against the zoning and is a major jump up.

We think that there's a reason to have a town board, and we think that the staff has its place to provide positive recommendation, and we appreciate the professional bureaucracy.

We don't think that just because developers and large law firms have a lot of influence that it's fair to the community.

If that's the way things are gonna go, then in all candor, which maybe you're not used to a lot of candor, I don't know, but in all candor, perhaps some of them the more populated areas of this county that are that are governed by you should be annexed by cities who will do a better job and follow their rules.

It doesn't make sense what what I see, and I and I happen to have properties all over in almost every one of your your jurisdictions, and I see a lot of things that don't make a lot of sense.

But uh one thing I definitely don't think is this that this project makes any sense at all.

But thank you for listening to me.

Thank you very much, sir.

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

All right, seeing no one else, I will close the public hearing and open up to commissioners for questions and comments, and I'll start with Commissioner Stone.

Thank you, Mr.

Chair.

Um I just want to make a statement.

I I sure hope what I heard from the gentleman uh during the public discussion.

I sure hope he wasn't disrespecting Clark County.

He sounded like he might have been, and uh, I don't want to get into a discussion with him.

I'm just saying that I'm proud to be a clerk county planning commissioner, and I don't appreciate being compared to the city that they would do a better job.

We've got the best staff in the state here and the best plan commission.

And uh I just want to remind us of that.

Uh having said that, I've got a question to staff.

Uh generally speaking on this application, how many notices did we send out?

You know, more or less we're gonna check for you.

It's a 1500 foot radius, but we'll get you a number.

Yeah, would it be more than 20, more than 50?

Minimum of 100.

Okay, so a hundred.

So uh I resonate with people coming out to protest.

And so if we've had a hundred or so application uh notices go out to the public, and we have one uh resident come to protest.

Um I'm not sure that that resident uh represents the whole neighborhood.

Uh just want to state that that's my view on on things.

So uh I think I can support the application as presented.

Thank you.

Thank you, Commissioner Stone.

Commissioner Reuteman.

Oh let me, I don't see any other lights and um Commissioner Brady.

Though I do also agree with what um Commissioner Stone said, like in comparing us against the city, I I don't necessarily appreciate that.

Um, and though I also will say this is not my area.

Um, and so what it comes down to though is I do see that everything around it is the half acre.

Um, and so to go less than just draws a little bit of concern to me.

Um, but ultimately it's not my area.

So, but I just wanted to um agree with uh Commissioner Stone on that.

All right, I got a few more lights on my right, so I'm gonna go with Commissioner Kalarski and then Vice Chair Mohica.

When I first read this, I wasn't really sure that I was how I felt about it.

I think the one thing that we have to also keep in mind is that directly north, Oquendo is how big?

Ocuendo.

Is that a big or is that an 80?

Uh it's a 60 foot right-away.

It's a 60 foot, and Edmonds should also be a 60 foot, am I correct?

Correct.

Okay.

So we're talking 60 feet directly north of that.

We approved BE, I don't know when, but that's that's also approved for uh what is it called business employment?

So what we're doing is we're just carrying it down.

And this is something that I've said when when we looked at doing this protecting larger lots, is that we start it with one and then we have to we start going down.

So we have to be very, very careful.

Uh what is directly south of the site?

Directly south of the site, these are I believe um office buildings in here.

So if they're office buildings, and we're looking at just kind of basically keeping the same thing along Edmund Street, which would then protect the low the larger lots to the west, in my mind, anyway, as a planner.

That's what I would look at.

Um so I can support the uh the plan amendment, and then I gotta re-look at all the other ones to see if I feel the same with those.

Thank you.

Thank you, Commissioner Klarski.

Um Vice Chair Mohiko.

Um I just wanted to add that I do took offense to what was said that if we don't, it was like a threat if we don't do what this person wants us to do, then somebody else could do a better job.

And I don't appreciate that because we're all here on our own time, and we do take our job seriously.

Um having said that, um, I do appreciate you taking the roofs down and making it even.

I think it makes it look cleaner.

So thank you.

I I can support the application.

I I think the applicant did a good job putting a good plan together.

I think it's probably gonna be the best um office building on the block.

And so I'll I'll go ahead to Commissioner Workman.

I don't I appreciate what everyone said about the comment.

Uh I know that people are passionate about their property, about the properties in their neighborhood.

And frankly, I I you know, since I've been on this board, I I I guess I was a little surprised at exactly how passionate people get, but I but I do appreciate it, and I know that coming out here and saying what you need to say in order to protect your property and your neighborhood and all that is um is commendable.

Uh you know, can you show me this is the plan amendment?

I'm sorry, is this the plan amendment?

Yes, this is the master plan.

Can you show me this the zone change?

Do you have the 27?

Yeah, 27.

I don't know.

This exhibit shows what the surrounding um property is zoned.

One thing to note that, and I don't know when I printed this map, this is now zoned IP, which is the same as this.

So half the site right now is zone CP and half is zoned RS20, and all of it is master plan for commercial and so maybe this is for staff, but this IP use if we accept this application and we go to IP and business employment.

Can you tell me in a little bit more detail what does that mean as far as a more intense use?

Because it looks like we have offices to the south, and we have some industrial to the west, and we're gonna have some industrial to the north.

So you you know, for a kind of uh for the people in the audience and everyone else here, when we say it's more intense, what does it allow?

And maybe the applicant can speak a little bit to what's the intention.

Um as far as the I guess the tenant or the what what the type what the owner occupant will be doing there.

So uh the question to your um answer to your question is that um the uh industrial park zone allows for various light manufacturing uses uh including vehicle maintenance uh distribution centers, warehouse, flex place, uh technology and light industry.

So very intense.

And so for the applicant, is there yet an understanding of what is gonna be in that use?

So your planning staff is right uh in terms of some of those uses, but then I think you have to go to the design review and see what it's not.

None of this is outside storage, um, industrial type uses.

You need to do some of the more intense uses, have to have IH, industrial high.

We're at the very low end of what you can do in business employment, which means it's office, and then there is a warehouse component to it where you could pull in a truck and you could store some stuff.

As a reminder, the height is 35 feet.

In other, I'll say more intense warehouse uses, you can go up to 50 feet, stack more, do more, do more things on the inside.

This is at 35 feet, which is the height allowable for a two-story home.

You can do that.

Uh so we intentionally kept that height low.

It has an office, but it does have a warehouse component, which is why we can't do it in commercial zoning because of that that indoor storage concept.

Well, that's why we have to have IP.

So I think that the site plan is really important when answering that question because it eliminates a lot of those more intense uses by the way it's designed.

As far as like manufacturing, could there be man with the sorry if I'm not hitting this all right, but IH is what you said?

Is that right?

With the IH, could we have manufacturing or just office storage?

Hang on, I'm looking at it.

So for IH, the you can have heavy uh heavy manufacturing.

Um this is IP that uh they're going for, but um to answer the question I is that um light well, maybe I misunderstood then.

Light industry, light manufacturing could be right, could be done in this zone.

Here, so I'll show this.

So maybe if you can zoom in, maybe this will help.

That'd be good.

So this this these from your Title 30 land use code, and this is industrial uses as the headline here, and then you ask specifically about a manufacturing type of use.

So now the point I was making is that manufacturing heavy, where you might be doing something with more intense products, if you follow that along, you cannot, it's not allowed at all in IP, it's actually not even allowed in IL, you have to go all the way over to IH and get a special use permit.

Now, to what staff was saying though, to be fair, you could do artisan manufacturing.

And I I will take a guess uh if there's um not a definition on that, but maybe you could be like you could um you've seen that bronze artwork, you could do something like that in this type of zoning category.

Um if you kind of go on to industrial light, like I'm just trying to pick some of these out so that you could see.

I guess that was my point is that there are different intensity levels within the industrial manufacturing uses, some of which are not allowed in IP at all.

And I guess where I'm going with I I'm generally okay with this application.

Um, but I would in order to um help the neighbor.

I think it's right that you said you've keep it you'll keep it at 35 feet, which is what we've been you would be able to do otherwise.

Now, are there any other uh conditions maybe that we could put on this that would allow you guys the use that you're planning on without necessarily having maybe some of the additional noise or traffic or any of the things that maybe the neighbors concern?

Is that a question for me?

Yeah, um so I I think that for us it was the absence of what I I will be straight up.

I think when we initially designed this, we showed outside storage to the north and the south, and um we have removed that you could add that as a condition, no outside storage allowed.

We don't show it, but we're also um okay with that condition.

Um from the standpoint of I mean, I think that that's the biggest thing because other than that, this really functions as a commercial building that happens to have some bay doors facing east towards Edmond Street where the other warehouses are.

Okay.

Then I will motion to approve the plan amendment.

Item number.

TA 26.

Do I got it?

PA267005.

Motion on the floor, cast your vote.

That motion carries.

And then I'll make a motion to pass the rest of them with the condition that there's no outside storage.

I assume that's on the waiver of development standards.

Is that okay, staff?

Yes, it is.

All right, motion on the floor.

I'm so sorry.

Could you just add one more condition?

It was the condition about the 10-foot wall.

Thank you.

And the 10-foot wall.

So motion to approve ZC260070.

Motion to approve VS 260071 and motion to approve WS260072 with the additional condition that there is a 10-foot wall and no outdoor storage.

And removing the waivers for the firehouse setback and the 441-foot walls.

Is that right?

To clarify that's uh waiver number one and two A.

I believe so.

Yes.

All right.

Motion on the floor, cast your vote.

Motion carries.

Good afternoon.

My name is Alina Condet's Y A Q U N D A with SRA uh 1950 East Warm Springs 89119 representing the uh the applicant.

Uh project is located on Decatur Boulevard between Robendale and Windmill.

The area is to is total of 2.64 acres.

We're asking for a master plan amendment um for the land use from neighborhood commercial to compact neighborhood.

Existing zone in CG, we're asking to rezone it to RS2.

This will give us the opportunity to develop housing for the area.

With this zone and use, there shouldn't be any negative impact on the adjacent properties.

We're proposing to build 19 homes divided into two buildings.

Each home will be a two-story to include a large garage on the first floor and a two-bed two bath on the second floor.

The garage is a large enough to fit in RV garage and up to four cars.

The second floor will have 1690 square foot lipable area with a large balcony facing east.

Elevations have variation of materials and colors and height to provide the required architectural enhancement.

We've had two neighborhood meetings and a town board meetings, and based on the results and staff recommendation, we have revised the plans and um sent them over.

We are proposing the north and um the north end portion of this of the east wall to be six feet with that waiver 3A and 3B are no longer needed.

Uh and by reducing the size of the open space located on the southeast corner of the lot, we are able to provide uh the 37 feet uh minimum required width for the private street with that waiver four um could be removed.

Thank you very much.

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

Anyone in the audience like to speak on this item?

Now's the kind of time to come down.

Right.

Seeing no one coming down, I will close the public hearing, open up to staff and maybe commissioners, Commissioner Kalarski.

I just have one question, and and because I'm a little confused.

You're asking for RS2.

Am I correct?

Yes.

Okay.

And staff, when I was reading this thing here, I saw where you said that you could support uh it's item 32.

I don't know which one that is.

On the zone change, it says that you can support our uh you find that the request for RS3 is appropriate.

So are we looking at should that have been RS2?

Just a typo.

Should be RS2.

Oh, I was asking staff if it was just a typo.

I want to make sure I know.

Based on the uh uh the report uh throughout is RS2, and I believe uh that area where the stop five stamp finding of RS33 is typo.

Okay.

Um then the other question that I had.

I'm going back and forth, I'm sorry.

Uh is on the cater.

Is there detached sidewalks or attached sidewalks right there?

I don't recall on top of my head.

I believe there is an attached sidewalk, but we're proposing a detached sidewalk.

Okay, so I believe one of the one of the lots, um, it's not been dicated yet, but the one that's uh been developed, um, and I believe there is a house in there.

I believe they have an anti-sidewalk.

I'm just wondering if there was a vacation that needed to be done.

Because if there if if we gotta go, this is in Commissioner Knaff's area, okay?

And I know that Commissioner Knapp likes detached sidewalks.

So usually when we if when we do those things, you you go with a detached, but there's always a vacation that goes in there.

There's an at least there's an existing vacation application from the previous application that was approved, so they are keeping that vacation application to move forward.

It's already been approved.

It's already been approved.

Okay, I just wanted to make sure that we just didn't uh not that's putting my nose somewhere where it doesn't belong, but I just thought about that when I was reading this, and I wanted to make sure.

Okay, that's all I needed to know.

Thank you.

All right, thank you very much.

Commissioner Wrightman.

I just want to put on the record that I appreciate Commissioner Klarski making sure that all the sidewalks are detached, and I know Commissioner Knaff would appreciate that too.

So you can stick your nose in that topic whenever you want, no problem for me.

All right, Commissioner Wright.

Let's let Commissioner Kirk go.

Yeah.

Let me thank you.

Sorry, I a little delayed there.

So I'm just trying to get my head around the design here.

And you're asking for a uh three-foot setback in the back.

A rear setback where 15 feet is required, but you're asking for three feet, is that right?

Yes, because basically um facing the I mean on the side of the cater, that's where um the rear is gonna be because they're providing private streets.

So this is gonna be the front, and this is gonna be the rear, and we're asking for the waiver, yes.

Show me the show me the front and the back of the building.

Sure.

So this is gonna be the front.

Basically, we're gonna have a private street coming in, and this is gonna be the front of the house uh of the house, yes, facing east, and then the rear, which is on decator, that's the site on the on decatur, that's gonna be um the rear.

If we're looking at the floor plan, so this side where the garage is gonna come in, that's the west side, and then this is facing the caterpillar.

So in the so the technically, I guess it's not really a rear set, but just it's it's three feet.

I mean, that's my problem.

But so there's no um that's a busy street, right?

I mean, right off Decatur, you're gonna have uh three feet and then a building.

Is that what I'm understanding?

Correct.

So we're gonna have 15 foot for the um detailed sidewalk and then three feet, and that's where the building is gonna sit.

But cars, they're gonna come in.

I'm sorry, no, no, I I got it.

I'm sorry.

I was confused there for a second.

So is this product been built anywhere else in town?

Not that I'm aware of.

Yeah.

Never done this before, first time.

Never done this project.

I'm not sure if they've done something different, but this is the first time for them.

Okay.

Thank you.

You know, before we go to Commissioner Royman, can you put your elevations up for us?

Yes.

Um we have this one and I have some um red lines as well.

Thank you.

Can I ask, are these detached or are they are they attached?

So they're at they're attached and divided into two buildings.

So if we're looking at the site plan.

So we're gonna have like basically it's gonna look like two separate buildings.

One of them is gonna have two ten units, and the other one is gonna have nine units.

Okay.

Just look at a quick one.

All right, so I I got two, I got two lights.

I'm gonna go um Commissioner Stone and then Vice Chair Michael.

Just a quick question.

Show show the the lower floor plan.

Is it all parking?

Yes.

Just get that on the screen.

Zoom in on that for me up in the booth.

Uh so it's so that's this one right here.

It's like a a podium type construction, like what you might see in a real multi-family deal.

I I have not seen anything like this.

Is anybody else see anything like this?

So you could conceivably park six cars in the first floor of your house of your house?

Plus you got a driveway, right?

Of what a short driveway?

It's 20 feet driveway.

20?

Yes.

Oh, I'm I'm cool with it.

That's right.

All right, um, Vice Chair Mohica.

Could you put the photos again up the yes?

The face, yeah, these.

So take me through uh let's start on the top.

Put your finger down the first one.

And so that okay, that would be the bottom.

But let's start on the bottom.

Where are these facing?

These are facing east.

So are these on is this the cater?

No.

Okay.

So they're facing this way, they're facing the private street that we're adding.

Okay.

The driveway.

All right, correct.

Show me it's uh it's a private street because it's RS2.

We were required to do a private street, not a driveway.

Drive aisle.

So point decator to me.

That's the cater.

Which is the same as this one.

So where the that's what it looks like.

So with the car, the car, so the car is sitting on decatur?

Because the cater is a heavily traffic.

Do you mean this one?

Street, yeah.

This is just showing a car that's passing on decatur.

This is not but how a car that belongs to the residence.

How many it's isn't the cater three and three?

Or is it two and two?

Uh right now it's two and two.

But it is a hundred foot right away.

So is it gonna eventually be three?

Um eventually, yes.

Um, but they're not showing parking on decatur.

They're just showing that as a all parking is on their site.

So this car right here, this is just part of the rendering showing a car passing on decatur.

Passing on the case.

But this is this is basically the private street that we're providing, and this is the 20-foot um drive aisle.

So the people with the dog they're walking on the detached sidewalk on the right.

So they're they're okay.

So they're part, and so they're walking on the sidewalk, detached sidewalk for Commissioner Knaft.

Um then this is a caterer.

So where the dog and the two people are, that's 15 feet.

Yes.

Where are the three feet that you're asking?

Back and sidewalk.

So it's probably gonna be easier for me to explain it on the um on the side plan.

I'm not gonna go.

Can you show it to me?

Ms.

Kenby's zoomed in.

No, can you show it to me on the photo?

Yeah.

So do you see like this right here?

This is the three feet that we're asking for.

So our property line basically sits right here.

And this is where the building is.

So the way I understand that then, excuse me, from the back of the sidewalk.

There's three feet, and then there's a building.

And because because the building, they're a little staggered, so some of them are gonna have three feet, and the rest they're gonna have five feet because they're two feet.

Okay.

Okay.

All right.

Commissioner Brady.

Uh I'm just gonna be really quick on this.

Um, St.

George has a product where they do park underneath.

Um, it's more prevalent in Utah, you see it a lot.

California, Hawaii, um, where land is very, very valuable.

Um, well, St.

George is actually in the older buildings.

One thing I'm really concerned about this, and it comes down to I know of course it's building department and everything, they say safety, but when it comes down to this, I have a one and a half year old, and I'll tell you he goes for that front door all the time, and sometimes he makes it out.

And how much time do you have to run in between that front door and decatur?

That is I just man, I wish I could see this as a different use.

But um, I just want to mention something.

This is not gonna be the front door, this is gonna be a back door.

It's a door.

My my kid goes out the garage, he goes out every door, he does not discriminate.

Um and man, he runs and he runs fast.

Um so and that's a one and a half year old.

Wait until they're three years old and they're running for the street.

And I'll tell you cars excite them.

Um my son almost got ran over there when he got snuck out of the school gate, who had a whole parking lot separating uh the place, and people caught him as he was stepping foot into the street and on to on Durango.

So that's where I just want to throw this out.

Is this is scary to me for young kids?

Um, and yeah, that's what I just want to make note, and it's up to you guys on this one.

Oh, thank you, Commissioner Brady.

I see Commissioner Kalarski, your light came back on.

Yeah, um this is the rear.

So am I correct?

That's okay.

Yes, especially.

So where your car door garage door is, that's at the front.

Correct.

Okay.

That's on the private drive side.

That's on the private side.

Okay.

I know.

I just wanted to make sure that because I was getting real confused over here.

Thank you.

I'm gonna be very brief.

I can support the application.

I I I think the product is pretty cool.

Um, you know, as as we start to grow or continue to grow, we gotta find, I think, creative ways to to build um very neat and useful products.

I would say I agree with Commissioner Brady on that door opening up, even though it might be a back door to a very busy street.

Um but I'm not I'm not designing this.

I'm just saying the developer might want to do some type of wrought iron or restrictive gate at those backdoor openings.

Um and I don't know what that looks like for waivers, I don't care.

I can approve it, but um uh turn it over to Commissioner Burgan.

Vice Chair Mehica, please.

I'm looking at the photos, and if the garage is in the back, right?

Well, it okay.

If that is the front, where is the door?

Okay.

It's probably not showing on the rendering because we do have it.

This is the front door, which is right next to the garage door.

But that's in the garage.

But here's the one.

I'm sorry.

Oh, you can't sort of see.

Oh, there's the source though.

Where?

That line is the door.

Right next to the door.

That would be a door.

That's the front door to the house next to the garage.

It's not, it's not showing on the on the rendering, but we do have it on the floor plans.

It's not showing correctly on the renderings.

Can the guys have the technical booth?

Can you can you go to the garage where the garages are?

Yeah.

So assuming there's a door.

So you so the doors would be to the right of the garages?

Correct.

That's a door, and then show me the next door.

Oh.

That's gonna be on this gray area.

That's weird.

Because it's angled.

Let me see if there's any.

So the front of the house is the garage.

Correct.

All right.

So I think we're good for you.

Commissioner Reutman.

This is this is gonna be me not designing from the Dais.

We don't need 20-foot driveways if we have garages that have six cars in them, right?

So theoretically, this is not me designing from the dais, but theoretically, if we had like a 15-foot driveway, then maybe there would be enough room to put this wrought iron fence so that if little Jimmy runs out, there's a fence there, and there's like a couple more feet, so they have like some amount of front yard.

This is this is I maybe this is me designing from the dais, but I think it makes sense that there should be a fence there.

Um I guess I wonder why we need these huge driveways.

Um if we have a six-car garage.

Uh maybe we can hold this for two weeks or a month.

If you guys need a month to look at this again, but I do think I share the concern that even if a car I know I'll tell you uh Commissioner Knaff told me, and I don't think I'm gonna get all the figures here right, but that these detached sidewalks give people jumping out of the way of curbing cars like seven seconds more to not get hit.

So my concern is that yeah, some car on decatur is gonna either jump the curb here or someone's gonna run out into traffic, and three feet of setback is not sufficient, and I wouldn't, I don't quite see why we would need that huge driveway if we have a six-car garage underneath.

So I'm gonna encourage the applicant to figure out a way.

I'm not saying that there can be no setback there, but I think I'd feel a lot more comfortable if there were some room to prevent Jimmy from getting hit by a curved car.

Metaphoric Jimmy, a little bit.

Point of information, Commissioner Reutman, if I could just jump in and to you uh so I hear what you're saying.

I would I would offer this for consideration.

The 20-foot driveway does afford parking for visitors, 15-foot would not afford visitor parking.

And I'm just throwing that in the mix of your thought process, and that might be important to some commissioners uh in the mix.

So I'm just mentioning that.

Um so uh just want to add something.

Uh per code, we're only required to have 10 feet um drive aisle, but we were asked by the neighbors and at the town board meeting that they would want they they would prefer it to be like 20 feet because they were asking what if someone just basically come and park in the middle of the uh private street.

So this was this was basically a request that we had to do it, but technically, I mean we can bring it down to 10 feet and then push the building street.

Can you show me the private street?

Yes.

Sorry, guys, I know this is so this is the private street right here.

Couldn't people park on the I don't know what direction we're looking here?

Opposite of the driveways, couldn't people park along this street?

Do you mean this side?

Yeah, couldn't if g guests, for instance, who are visiting.

Well, we do have we do have um we do have uh guest parking per code that whatever is required.

We are providing them.

However, um this was this was again like neighbors concerned that people just gonna park like on this side or on this side because technically it's a private street and they're not supposed to park on it.

Um that's why we have the 20 feet um drive aisles.

Commissioner Reichman.

So it's I mean, technically we can bring it down to 10 feet if this is um preference.

Oh, give me a second.

Can you zoom in on the the private street?

I'm I'm looking for the width of the uh fire line, and I can't read any of the dimensions, just in up in the booth, zoom in on that, keep going.

The pri the private street keeping on yeah, so the private street is 37 feet, and if you see these two lines, that's the 24 uh feet that's coming all along.

Okay.

But the total private street is 37 feet, then that's the minimum.

This is a fire lane from here.

But what about can someone park here?

Like if the visitors here, and we have a short driveway.

I don't know.

All right, Commissioner Stones done.

Commissioner Brady, just a thought process not to design from here either.

But leave the driveway the 20 feet, cut it down to a four-car garage with workbench area, then pull it back a little bit.

Um so scoot it back so there's a little bit of a yard thing in front with the with the pony wall keeping the kids from running out, and it'll actually stop a car a little bit from coming over and going into the front yard or in the front of the house.

I'd like to hold this.

I'd like to hold it.

Thanks.

Good idea.

Sorry, I think I think we have to look at this a little bit more.

I think the setbacks are on the undicator, aren't gonna work.

So maybe work with the staff and we'll see you guys back in 30 days.

Uh with that, I'll motion to hold this application 30 days.

Uh that is just so you know.

Uh June 16th.

That would be to June 16th planning commission.

Yes, 353.

Thank you, applicant.

I I I do like the product too.

I just I'm sure.

All right, so there's a motion on the floor for for holding and and um the applicant is going to get with staff and maybe even reach reach out to the commissioner, and you have all of our comments on record.

Yeah.

All right, that motion passes.

Thank you.

Uh Davi, sorry about that.

That will just change the BCC date as well.

Uh 30 days.

All right, next item.

All right, next item are companion items.

Thank you, Staff.

Um 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 south of Russell Road and just to the east side of Jones Boulevard.

As you look at this aerial, some things I just want to point out immediately to the west, there's a convenience store gas station and car wash.

When you cross over onto the other side of Jones, there's another gas station over there.

This is a retail project, and then this right here has been approved for a bar.

There's a sign on the property that talks about that.

We are requesting a plan amendment and related zone change to build a four-sale townhome community.

This shows you what the site plan would look like.

Both uh driveways come off of Russell Road.

Uh as part of our application, we are also asking to vacate uh Redwood Street so it wouldn't actually go all the way through to Russell.

And in addition, a number of the waivers of this application are driven by the fact that all of the townhome units have a two-car driveway.

That isn't required by Title 30, but it is something that's important in this district.

And so pointing out that all of these townhomes have a two-car driveway.

I did want to also point out that the front of the townhomes, they are all two-story in height.

Actually, on the southern boundary, this is where the residential homes are.

On the southern boundary, the front of the homes face towards the south.

The driveways, as you can see, face towards the uh private drive aisles that go throughout.

The setback from the front of the house to the southern property line is 30 feet.

Um you can see that we have landscaping adjacent to the wall, and then this gray area are the sidewalk or is the sidewalk that would get you to the actual front door, and then there's a further setback to where the actual home would be.

Uh, in doing first starting with our neighborhood meeting, um, we'd heard some concerns at the neighborhood meeting about leaving this as neighborhood commercial, given some other more intense commercial uses that have been proposed or approved in the area.

So at the neighborhood meeting, there was support for this project.

When we got to the town board meeting, there were two neighbors who came.

Um, I believe they lived right in this area, right to the south, but adjacent to the property, and I don't recall them coming to the neighborhood meeting.

They did speak in opposition, and after the town board meeting, I had an opportunity to talk to them.

Uh the town board did recommend approval.

Um they thought it was more appropriate of a buffer to have the four cell townhome project instead of neighborhood commercial here, so town board recommended approval.

But in talking with the neighbors uh outside of the meeting, they asked if we would consider doing two additional uh buffering types uh conditions on the south boundary.

And the first is that the application as it sits today proposed an eight-foot block wall on the south boundary, but the neighbors asked if we could um do 10 feet in height, and then they were also concerned about any lighting that we might have in this southern area, and they wanted to make sure that it was not really tall, tall lights like you would see in a parking lot, and that um whatever lighting we did have was really um directed downward.

So uh two conditions that um could address those if you are interested in adding these to the application.

The first condition would read the decorative block wall on the south boundary shall be 10 feet in height, and the second condition would read if pathway or landscape lighting is installed between the homes and the wall on the southern boundary, the lighting shall be limited to a maximum height of six feet and be directed downward.

So, with that, I'd be happy to answer any questions.

Thank you very much.

Um, we're gonna open this application up for a public hearing, and I want to thank those that are in audience coming down to speak for your patience and hanging out with us all evening.

Um, please come on down, give us your name and address for the record, and put your um your comments on the record for for the commissioners to hear.

Ma'am, ma'am, if you if you if you wouldn't mind me pick up the microphone, or there you go, perfect.

Janice Saverley, 6035 West Quail Avenue.

And a lot of complaints.

Most of these homes, as this development, were originally RE.

Most of these homes are built on no less than a third acre, and some on two and a half acres or more.

These have been lifelong projects for a lot of people.

My husband and I have been in the area since 79, built two houses in the area.

I really oppose this because I got these four items, and they were delivered to my home, registered mail.

And as I'm going through the neighborhood trying to figure out how people felt about it.

Nobody got any.

This is our home.

And this doesn't make any sense.

Commissioned, it was commercial.

But a medical building or something like that.

But 54.

I'm sorry, but I I can't even visualize it.

I'm on an acre and a quarter.

So their first thing is what's going to be a fourth of that?

17 homes on an acre and a quarter.

And I'm on an acre and a quarter.

I just I really vehemently oppose this.

Now I'm gonna let my friend talk because he's a lot better than I am, and they have done a lot of work on their beautiful home.

Thank you very much.

Bless you.

Name and address for the record and put your comments on record.

Michael Story, 6030 West Quail Avenue.

Um so I'm speaking on behalf of I'm sorry.

Um 6030.

It's the the property immediately to the south of the proposed property.

Um, and I'm speaking on behalf of three of my own properties in the area and to two other residents that are affected by this, and I'll reiterate uh what my neighbor already said.

I was one of those people who was not notified of anything, so that's why I wasn't at the town board uh meeting.

Um so we're definitely in opposition to this zoning change.

Uh additionally, I'll say just out of curiosity, I asked about subdividing my my parcel, which is 2.1 acres right behind that the proposal, and I was told that I can only go down to half acre per property.

Now you're talking about 54 units in four acres.

That's that's a lot.

Um so we believe obviously this this request is unnecessary and incompatible with the existing neighborhood.

Um apologize for the quality of this picture because this was just today's traffic, if you can even see it.

But um, Russell has backed up the entire length of that picture.

Um, and this was a light traffic day.

Um, and also say that if you can see on the left corner, that's that's the wall to the rear of my property.

Um, and uh is kind of relates to what uh Commissioner Brady uh was objecting to on one of the earlier um proposals, um not this one, but 30 30 feet away from that wall, basically a solid building all the way across my property would completely eliminate any scenic views, etc.

Not to mention the other things that they addressed, such as the additional lighting, uh, etc.

But current zoning already allows for a reasonable use of the property.

There's been no demonstrated need to justify a change that would increase the density and intensify impacts on the surrounding residents.

The proposal raises serious concerns regarding increased traffic, parking overflow, congestion, and public safety.

Our roads and intersections already experience significant traffic during peak hours, and additional density will place further strain on infrastructure not designed to support this level of development.

Overflow parking into residential streets will reduce accessibility and create additional safety concerns for residents, pedestrians, and emergency vehicles.

The project would also negatively affect uh neighboring properties through increased noise, lighting, loss of privacy, obstruction of scenic views, as I mentioned.

These impacts are inconsistent with the existing residential character of the area and would diminish the quality of life.

The residents, such as my neighbor already spoke, relied upon when purchasing homes in the neighborhood.

In addition, the proposal would would place added pressure on schools, drainage systems, utilities, other public infrastructure, increased runoff and drainage concerns would be should be carefully considered.

Obviously, I don't, since I wasn't at the town board meeting, I have no idea what they've addressed.

But um, things like that should obviously be uh considered before approving any higher density use of the property.

There's also legitimate concerns about the effect that overdevelopment and incompatible density have uh have on surrounding property values, approving zoning changes that substantially alter neighborhood characters that's a precedent that many residents find deeply concerning.

Um we also understand that similar zoning and density requests have recently been denied.

That's what I've been told, uh, due to many of the same concerns, including traffic impacts, incompatibility with surrounding neighborhoods, infrastructure limitations, and community opposition.

Consistency of land use decisions is important, and finally, and perhaps most importantly, as I alluded to, we're concerned that not all potentially impacted residents were properly notified of this zoning change in hearing.

Uh, because of the lack of adequate notice, many residents were not given a meaningful opportunity to review the proposal or participate in the process.

As a result, we did not have sufficient time to organize and pretend present a petition from affected residents, including some who themselves were never notified.

Um residents are not opposed to thoughtful and responsible growth.

However, any development should be necessary, compatible with the surrounding neighborhood, and supported by adequate infrastructure and community input.

This proposal does not meet any of those standards, and for those reasons, we respectfully urge the commission to deny this zoning change request.

Thank you very much.

Yes, ma'am, come on down.

Name an address for the record and give us your comments.

Marisol Story, 6030 West Quell, Las Vegas, Nevada.

Um, we I've been battling stage three cancer, so we have not been in our lovely home that's two acres that we've been joined.

We just purchased about two years ago.

So unfortunately, we were not notified about this town meeting, and I went and canvassed the area to talk to all of our neighbors in the whole area of Quail, all the way from Quail all the way past Oquendo and Patrick.

I think Patrick and a lot of the people are so upset that they were not notified and they wanted answers as to how this builder or investor or whatever notified our neighborhood because everybody has about an acre, half acre to two acres of land, and they're just they're just like why?

Um I I did canvas and put out the flyers and talked to everyone in the neighborhood, and they asked to please come to the board and voice for them to either allow us an extension or give us the opportunity to get get signatures to all the neighbors that can come and talk and voice their opinion because they've been there for years.

We we're like the newest, newest uh to the block, and they're just saying it's just not justifiable to not notify us when there's such a huge our neighborhood to protect the privacy of our homes.

So thank you very much.

Yes, ma'am.

Name and address for the record.

Destiny story, uh, 5'9 50 Spring Ranch Parkway.

I'm actually a couple neighborhoods.

I'm terrible at directions, but the other way, um, a private gated community, and so I was actually the one who kind of helped realize what was happening in the neighborhood.

Like my mom said, she's been battling cancer, so we've been kind of in and out a lot and dealing with her treatments and things like that.

But I've noticed all of the no trespassing signs, the fenced and areas, the developers trying to come in and take up this whole area.

And even for me being two neighborhoods, whatever way that is, the traffic has dramatically increased.

Even coming out of my private gated community, it can take me anywhere from 15, 20 minutes sometimes to just get on to Jones.

And that is pretty dramatic of an increase.

And then I would like to also note I don't know technicalities on like how far out people are supposed to be notified of these things, but I can also say none of my area was also notified.

And so at the minimum, we do like to request a uh extension or however the formal way of asking for it to elongate this.

So yeah.

Thank you very much.

Um anyone else want to speak on this item seeing no one else, um, I will close the public hearing.

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

I'm gonna just do one housekeeping thing with staff, and just for the record, can you provide the radius and the notification information just for the record?

Uh parole public hearing items, uh the standard is 15 uh hundred feet radius uh of the subject property.

Okay.

And then what I would do for me, I have I see lights, but I've got three things that I want the applicant to speak on, and then I'll turn it over to commissioners.

That's that's that's parking, and then traffic study, and then and then this one I'll I'll handle.

And it's gonna just for you know, I appreciate those in the audience being a part of a part of the public process.

And I just recently went through this.

Um I built a house, and the house across the street wasn't built yet, and I had a beautiful view of the mountain, and I was like, man, I can't, this is so great.

And now that house is complete.

And I walk out my front door and I see their garage.

So I was just saying scenic views, no matter what's going to be built there, it's gonna go away.

But um, so having said that, parking, traffic study, and then I'll turn it over to I'll start on this side, Commissioner Kirk.

Okay, so Jennifer Lazovich for the record.

Let me start in reverse order, perhaps with the traffic.

Um, I'll start with this application does require a traffic study if it's approved that uh will address any traffic concerns coming from here.

But I think more importantly, the comment that I want to make about traffic is that it is a proven fact that commercial property drives uh more traffic than a residential development does.

And the this is the the number one thing I want to start with.

The property itself may be zoned something which to the neighbors would convey a residential development.

I understand that that zoning of RS20 would lead someone to believe that it is going to be developed with half acre or 20,000 square foot lots.

But I like to say that um in this in unincorporated Clark County, even the property where the win or fashion show or the new hard rock guitar tower is built at one point that had that same underlying zoning.

You have to then go and look at what the master plan says.

And the master plan for this property shows it as neighborhood commercial.

It's the exact same master plan that allowed for the convenience store for the car wash, for the convenience store car wash, the retail project here, the bar that's approved here, that's that same zoning.

That kind of zoning allows for automotive uses, it allows for fast food.

Um, the one of the speakers said build a medical office building.

This is zoned for something more or master plan, excuse me, for something more intense than a medical office building.

When it comes to the second point that the chairman asked about regarding parking, um, two things.

Uh first of all, again, as I mentioned in this commission district, um, when it comes to a townhome development, it is required that every town home or as many townhomes as possible, in this case, it's every town home, has a two-car driveway or a 20-foot driveway.

So every single unit on this uh project has is able to on its property park four cars.

Then in addition to that, there are guest spaces that are provided here and in this area.

So, from a code perspective for this development, it is significantly overparked relative to what code typically requires for townhomes.

In terms of the um concern that was raised about uh neighbors parking, I'll say into the the neighborhood, um, the residential neighborhood that's behind us.

So part of this application requires a vacation or asks for a vacation.

So Red Rock Street, which is right here, and then this is Quail Avenue, and the site sits here.

We're asking that that street be vacated and not go all the way to Russell.

So what that means in reality is that this site has a block wall uh from the west to the south to the east, with the only two driveways going um onto Russell Road.

Uh there's no direct access to the neighborhood immediately to the south.

So for anybody coming out of this south, out of this site to get into this neighborhood, they would have to exit on Russell, then come down this street and then go wherever they would want to go, or I suppose they could come quit.

It would just be, I don't think very convenient relative to where the driveways sit.

And again, what I think is key is vacating Redwood Street, or excuse me, Red Rock.

I keep saying Red Wood Wood, Red Rock Street, so that it doesn't go through, um, which is right now, it could, I suppose, if this developed as two different commercial sites, that Red Rock Street could go through to Russell if if the application didn't include a vacation.

Thank you.

Um, Commissioner Kirk.

Thank you, Mr.

Chairman.

Just as a general comment, I I get the neighbors perspective because nothing has been built there.

And so your experience of the traffic issues you're having with nothing there are bad.

So anything that gets built there is going to have some impact on your infrastructure.

Traffic, sewer, water, whatever, you know.

There is going to be an impact on infrastructure.

And the second part of that is there is something going to be built on this site.

We know that.

Um the question is if not this, then what?

And based on the things that uh I've heard tonight, uh, the underlying zoning is neighborhood commercial.

That's the master plan.

Master plan, yes.

Okay, so and the um so what kind of um businesses could be built there with without even uh I mean what kind of things could be built there today?

That is with the master plan of neighbor commercial, right?

So with that, we or the property owner could come in for conforming zone change, would conform to the master plan, and they could ask for the property to be zoned, and I'll just take this zoning map and let's talk about this area, which is all in red right here.

This is the piece that has the um existing car wash and the convenience store.

Over here, you have convenience store, and over here you have a retail center with uh there's restaurants in there, trying to remember some of the other uses.

Uh that an automotive use was proposed for this site, and a bar has been approved for this site.

So when so pink on the master plan turns into red on the zoning map, and the kind of uses that can go in a red zoning district, commercial general, can include fast food, drive-through.

Obviously, we have it there today with the convenience stores, the car washes.

You can have um I'll say uh uh a retail center with dry cleaners, um you can have I'm just trying to go through the kinds of uses that you see when you're in, you could have a hotel, you could have that.

You could have not a resort hotel, but an actual like a um like a stabridge suites or a marriage, you know, one of those kind of um business type hotels.

You see that down a little bit farther where the autonomous hotel is, that's got partial commercial general zoning.

Um, those kinds of uses are high.

And you would say, oh, that would never be built right next to a rural neighborhood preservation area, and that is the precedent in the county to do that actually over off of Giles Street, immediately it's in enterprise and immediately adjacent to a rural neighborhood preservation with developed half acre and larger lots.

So that buffer that sits along Russell for commercial, I and I respect where they're coming from, and I echo what um Commissioner Kirk is saying that it's it's hard because there's nothing there today, and now something's coming, and it's the intensity of what that something is, but it's really um from a master plan standpoint, you're looking at a commercial use, and what we're asking for is to go to a residential use.

Right.

Thank you for that.

Now is Russell a section line road?

Somebody, staff, public works, I think they're checked.

I think they're checked.

And what's the right of way?

I know Jones is it a half section?

It is a section line.

It's a section line.

Correct.

So it's a major road.

And it's like Decatur, Jones, Rainbow, Buffalo, those are major arterials, yes.

Arterials that are about one mile apart.

And so what we really have here is Russell is a major arterial.

It's a major road.

There's nothing we can do to change that.

And so to think that in today's environment, uh, next to a you said that's a car wash on the corner?

Yes.

Yeah.

To think that someone's gonna come and build uh half acre lots next to a car wash on a major section line road, that is ludicrous.

It's not it's not good planning, and it's not gonna happen because the highest and best use for this property is gonna be some neighborhood or some commercial use, and that's what the owner has the right to ask for, and we are trying to find the use that is best um satisfies the the uh owner in some sense, but also does some protection of the neighbor in the neighborhood.

But um how one more question.

How tall uh are your buildings?

They have a maximum height of 35 feet, but I can 35 feet?

Yeah, but that's code, so let me hang on.

I mean, get to the elevations.

That's okay.

So I mean, if I built the house there, what would be my if I built a two-story house, what is that 32, 33?

Um, you would be allowed to go to 35.

Yeah, uh, but a two-story house is usually sorry, I have to zoom in here.

Um a two-story house, this is 11 and 8, isn't it?

Um a two-story house is usually about 28 feet.

Okay, so it's close.

So I mean, we're trying to balance the uses here, but and the fact that uh it's unfortunate that more people weren't notified.

I don't know how that happens.

Uh or they didn't get it, or they they came in the mail and they threw it away, which we all get those little yellow things, we just chuck them.

That's what I do.

Um, but the fact that it's on the section line and it's gonna be something commercial.

I think this is uh I think this is a better use than that, and so um I'm in support.

I'm gonna support the project.

I'm sorry to answer your question.

It was 30 feet for the height.

So 30, yes.

Thank you, Commissioner Kirk.

I will um go to Commissioner Brady next.

Um I have one question for staff on this.

So they're looking for a vacation of the road that goes in between both of the parcels.

What happens with the road in between that feeds into that in between 6030 and 5982 quail?

Does that stay in play, or does that vacation out for the homeowners below?

It stays the same, doesn't it?

So we're having a well um the request is to vacate it between Russell and Quail.

The portions that um have been dedicated to the South will go to each adjacent property owner.

So the portion two of um red rock on the west side will go to that 6030 property owner, and then the one to the east side will go to that property owner, um, and it will become part of their property, and then just like the um portions to the north will become part of this application.

So they'd inherently get more land essentially to their properties.

Correct.

Okay.

So I've actually walked with the home to 6030 before you ever bought it.

Um I walked through it a long time ago.

Um, so that would extend your lot line there.

And what one of the things I noticed also to the homes to the east of it, one of them looks like it's a um air conditioning junkyard, HBIC um condenser/slash jump junkyard, at least from the satellite view, and I've looked at before.

Then even the home uh over right in between 6030 and the other, so directly to the east, it's not really maintained um well.

Um this also if if we vacate this road in between those two homes, it'll actually keep the dust down it.

I think it brings some safety to the homes personally.

Um so I was really curious what happened to that road here because it does help better that neighborhood in some ways.

I I did I agree with what um Commissioner Kirk was saying.

I just don't see how this doesn't, and I don't know what else can go in this land.

I don't I think this is something that's benefit of, and so I'm I'm actually in support of this.

Thank thank you, Commissioner Brady.

Um so before I go to Commissioner Kalarski, I do I want to put something on the record for staff because uh I want to talk about the notification piece because I know we that we have notification and we get 1500 feet, and I know that it varies from time to time, so just separate and apart.

I'd like for us to to look at that because we might need to manage making it larger, and I don't know what kind of impact that is to staff and cost and all that good stuff, but so I just want to I just want to make it make it an administrative step, something that we can talk about going forward, okay?

So can we can we note that Jason?

Okay, perfect.

All right, Commissioner Golarski.

No course you oh sorry.

I forgot to ask when you briefed me.

Uh is there a median right there on Russell?

Is it right turn only, or can you make a left going out of that property?

I think I want to defer to public works on that.

I don't want to get it wrong.

Um, I don't show a median that goes that far down, Russell.

Okay, so if that's as busy as the neighbors say it is, then coming out of here, you're gonna have a bottleneck.

I don't know if a right turn and a safety possible safety issue down the road.

Well, that will be addressed in the traffic study that they provide if they need to extend the median or anything based off of their traffic study, that would be a requirement of the traff traffic study that they have to comply with.

Without the traffic study, we cannot tell.

I don't know what traffic mitigations are gonna be needed, if any.

So, but those will all be addressed during the traffic study.

Okay, and then and just gonna say to kind of touch on what uh the chair said.

Um for years, you know, we we've had and I haven't heard it for a long time, but views are not protected by law, they're just not so uh even if if uh it was empty and your neighbor across the street wanted to build a two-story home in an RNP, they're entitled and they could block your your view.

So I don't know, but the one problem I do have is that I have through the years struggled when we started to need more housing, and the density started to go up per eight, you know, dwelling units per acre.

And I struggled when we went down to four thousand feet for a lot, and I was I was saying no, and then we went down to 3,000 feet for a lot, and that that's hard because your houses get bigger, your lots get smaller, your garages get filled with your stuff because there's no room, you're putting in waivers for sheds and all this other stuff, and now we've gone down to 2,000 square feet.

Granted that they're mostly four town homes that were doing that, but I have a real issue, and I didn't see this yesterday, so I didn't talk to you when we briefed, but I don't know about 1700.

That is now we're getting to the size of an apartment, a large apartment, and and that's but we're only talking lot size.

Okay, we're not talking anything else.

So I'm having a lot of issues with that right now.

Um I don't know about that waiver.

That that's the that that's my issue right now.

I can I everything else I can go along with, but that way that particular waiver I'm having an issue with.

Okay, thank you.

Thank you, Commissioner Kalarski.

For the young lady in the audience, if you come down, I will recognize you.

We've already closed the public hearing.

No, though the one lady the lady in the back, yeah.

Yep, come down.

Say everything for everybody.

So so we already closed the public hearing, so I'm going to recognize you.

I need name and address for the record, so the record is clear.

And go ahead.

And the only reason we came to ask is to be able to get an extension because we weren't notified, and the neighbors are just asking.

We know there's gonna be something built there.

They would prefer something one-story, commercial, something.

I mean, we need more restaurants, more stuff there.

We have all along the way.

If you look at the next store next lot next door, it's a huge two-acre lot.

It was a home that was burnt down.

And that's gonna be hopefully built back up.

But it just doesn't make sense to have these town homes and then have these one-acre lots that are one story.

So we we understand there's gonna be something built there.

Please accept that.

But we we're looking for something one story, one one level, something restaurant, something, but not a two-story or multi-file complex.

All right, thank you very much.

Okay.

Okay.

Um Vice Chair Marika.

Um to the neighbors, we we really appreciate you guys coming over, and it's so late at night to be hanging out with us.

But and and maybe some people didn't see, but but please I'm going to ask you very nicely to stop saying you weren't notified, because that means that the people here in front of us who work really hard didn't send those notices out, and they just shared with us that they did send the notices out.

So everybody in that radius was notified, whether they got it in the mail and threw it away thinking it was a voting propaganda.

That's another thing.

We all do that.

So maybe you can say some people didn't see it.

That's maybe a better statement, but saying you weren't notified, that means you're telling us that everybody here didn't do their job, and I really don't believe that happened.

Thank you, thank you, um, Vice Chair Mohica.

I want to turn it over to Commissioner Roykman, and um and then we'll go from there.

Uh so um when my parents got divorced.

I know this this is relevant.

When my parents got divorced, my dad and my brother and I moved into a very small apartment, and it was on like Valley View and Sahara, basically.

And then after a little while, as me and my brother got older, we moved next door, literally next door on the other side of a wall into a townhouse.

And that townhouse was bigger than the apartment, and there was probably 40 or 50 townhouses there as opposed to 200 apartments that was right next door.

And then about 10 years later, my dad got remarried, and I had a stepbrother, and the five of us moved into a four-bedroom house just across the wall in a beautiful gated community called Spanish Oaks.

And I never noticed my neighbors at the townhouses next door, and I never noticed my neighbors at the apartment complex two doors down from that.

And I suspect that you guys don't really notice that just across Russell, there's a whole bunch of houses.

There's a whole bunch of houses, and they're a lot smaller than the houses that are right there.

And so to the point that's being made, which is when you move in next to a vacant lot, chances are that at some point that's gonna get developed.

And the houses that were being built on Russell in the 1990s are not the same houses that are gonna be built on Russell in the 2020s.

And yes, maybe you would like a restaurant, maybe you would like a school, maybe you'd like a park, but the owner of this parcel has certain limitations on what they can do and what makes sense for them in 2026, and after looking at this and hearing what the applicant has done to accommodate the people around them, I can absolutely support this project.

Sometimes you have to build townhouses next to half-acre lots or in the same neighborhood, and that's just the way this county is going because we got a lot of people who want to live in Clark County, and that's a good thing because we got an amazing people here, we got an amazing planning commission, and we got amazing neighbors, and I appreciate you all coming out.

Um, but I do believe that everyone received their notices because I know you guys up here do a really good job.

And so I want to thank the staff, and I want to thank the commission for thinking about this thoughtfully, and I thank the neighbors for coming out as well and voicing your opinion.

And with that being said, I can motion to approve this with the conditions.

Sorry, let's motion to approve the plan amendment first, and then we'll get to the waiver development standard.

Motion on the floor for approval of the plan amendment PA 267014.

Cast your vote.

Alright, the motion back the motion carries.

Next item.

I'd like to motion to approve ZC 260182.

I'd like to motion to approve VS 260181, WS260183, with the condition that there be a 10 foot wall and lighting no higher than six feet facing downward.

I do I think procedurally that should go on the um on the tenant of on the WS.

Are we at the WS26?

Oh, sorry about that.

Okay, sorry about that.

Do you got those the 10 foot wall downward lighting no more than six foot?

And motion to approve TM265050.

There's there's a motion on the floor, cast your vote.

That motion carries.

Good luck.

Items uh 35, 36, 37, uh, and 38 and 39 will be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners meeting for final action on June 17 to 2026, unless otherwise announced.

All right, so that brings us to our last item of the evening, which is public comments.

So this is a time of the evening where anyone can come down and make public comments.

The the planning commission cannot vote or act on any of those items, but you're sure welcome to come and put something else on the record.

Are you coming down?

Yes, ma'am.

Okay.

Name and address for the record.

I'm sorry, ma'am.

We just just wait to you wait till you get down so the record is clear.

I apologize.

Okay, very good.

Janice Abberley, 6035 West Queel Avenue.

You said everything was delivered, and I appreciate everybody works hard.

I got the first four registered mail.

Is that normal?

But I never got this fifth one.

This last thing that said 54 houses.

And yeah, Russell and Jones are a headache.

But I didn't get the last part.

Is she building a wall on Russell so she doesn't have to comply with commercial?

So then we're gonna have uh 57 new homes or whatever, with a minimum of two cars, plus parking for extra people on two lots that are gonna feed through Red Rock onto Jones or go down quail to uh Russell, Doonville, or Oquendo, depending on the direction they're coming.

The impact on Jones and Russell is a joke, but these are neighborhood streets, and I've seen the cars come off of Jones going 45, kicking up dirt, come down quail so they can avoid the traffic.

And I think this needs to be looked at seriously.

So is there gonna be a wall on Russell?

Is that how we're getting across away from the commercial aspect of this?

So everything is in our neighborhood, and it's gonna be a two-lane street on Red Rock that will go all the way to Quail, Oquendo, and probably Ponderosa, trying to escape the traffic.

And I guess that's all I have to say.

Thank you very much.

Sure.

Can we appeal this and let the rest of the neighbors know?

I mean, 1500 feet, that's like maybe 10 houses in our neighborhood.

So so you're on record and and and you can't appeal staff.

I'm sorry, please help me with that.

Uh this is gonna be actually forwarded to the board of county commission, but I can't help the applicant explaining the uh process.

For sure.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Anyone else?

All right, so I'm gonna I'm gonna plop, I'm gonna close the up coming down, coming down, okay.

All right, just a quick destiny story.

Sorry.

5950 Spring Ranch Parkway.

Um, just a quick question.

Is it required to notify?

It is, correct?

I mean, so yes.

Okay.

Staff answered that question for you.

Got it.

It is, yes.

So knowing that, I think that has been the most confusing part for me.

And as someone who has recently moved here and an aspire aspiring professional in this area, this was really concerning to me.

Just kind of how all this played out and even comments made back to neighborhood neighbors.

It it's concerning and it felt more of a, and again, this is just someone kind of learning this community.

It felt more of a defending jobs versus really investigating what happened here and why we're here today.

Because we're here today because we just found out about this like yesterday.

Even today, I was trying to just figure out how all this works.

And it was frustrating.

Just not being notified, certain things not being happening, and I'm also confused on how we're even here without this property even being owned by these people yet.

So that is also confusing to me, and we can talk on the side or I can research it, whatever.

But I just wanted to express that that it was concerning.

So thanks.

Thank you very much.

I think we're good now.

No one else is coming down, so we're gonna close the public comments and adjourn the meeting.

Thank you, everyone.
