Staff recommends approval.

May we have the staff report, please?

Madam Chair, Jonathan Boyles for the record.

The proposed development represents an opportunity for adaptive reuse by utilizing a vacant and underutilized motel for supportive facilities, which is an explicitly defined goal within the vision uh master plan for downtown.

The requested waiver and exceptions are minor in nature.

Staff finds the proposed development will be compatible and harmonious with development in the surrounding area and recommends approval of the site development plan reviews subject to conditions.

Please note additional documents for support were received after publication.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Good evening.

If you could please state and spell your name for the record, give us your address and tell us about this project.

Good evening, Chair Taylor.

My name is Gina Venglas.

It is spelled G-I-N-A, and my last name is V-E-N-G-L-A-S-S, and I am the city engineer for the City of Las Vegas Public Works Department here tonight to request approval for our item for 2033 Fremont Street Transitional Housing Project.

As they mentioned, this project is for transitional housing on a 0.66 acre parcel located on the north side of Fremont between Bruce and Charleston and one of the older unused motels.

At the end of the day, the city will be providing 28 transitional housing units for the unhoused population that are transitioning back to stability.

The project will also be composed of a new parking lot, secured fencing, trash enclosures, and the other amenities necessary to make the project possible.

The sponsoring department is neighborhood services, and tonight I have Patrick Petrie with me tonight.

Um but we respectfully request approval for this project.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Okay.

Oh, are you coming down, ma'am?

Yeah, folks, feel free if you hear your item come up and you want to speak.

Come on down so we can catch up to the microphone.

Uh good meeting, uh members of the commission.

My name's Laura McSwain, MC S W A I N.

I am a resident of McNeil, which is in close proximity to this project.

And I'm also the founder and president of the Water Fairness Coalition.

I am here primarily to object to any kind of reduction in landscaping.

I think that uh we've got a lot of anecdotal evidence within our community relative to all the hot elements that we're allowing that were complicit in helping provide Southern Nevada Water Authority is introducing artificial landscaping, artificial turf to our children's playgrounds.

And while this uh project is um it's also not following the form-based code as I understand it.

And I apologize I didn't get to hear the whole application, but um if I'm off base, uh please you know shut me down now.

I did bring an article about landscaping and urban planning uh for the record, and also some uh general information about um Lake Mead's condition.

Um what I hope for is that we don't uh panic and allow for uh density where it may not really be uh responsibly provided if we're having to give up too many things.

If I remember correctly, this item has seven waivers, and um having served on this board many years ago.

Umscaping was really kind of a beautification issue.

Now it's really kind of becoming an imperative relative to quality of life.

So anyway, thank you for your time.

Thank you very much.

Anyone else?

Okay, seeing that I will go ahead and close public hearing.

Um you'd like to come back up to the microphone.

And is there any response?

Or anything else you wanted to add?

So the waivers that we were asking for are generally minor in nature.

We are providing landscape on the property.

As you know, this is an existing motel.

There is a two-story building on site and a one-story building on site.

Those will remain and be remodeled and rehabilitated.

So I the parcel is 0.66 acres, very tight spot, hard to provide much more landscaping than we're currently showing, providing.

And I do have a the landscape plan here if they can want to show it on the screen, or if planning can there we go.

Perfect.

So we're showing several new trees and bushes and shrubs with decomposed granite.

Okay, thank you very much.

Um that we'll go ahead and pass it back to the commission.

Is there anyone that has comments?

Commissioner DeSalvio.

Uh thank you, Madam Chair.

Excuse me.

Convalescent care facility is what it's listed under, but you keep saying traditional housing.

I'm just trying to get figured out.

Thank you, Commissioner.

Um, I'm gonna actually ask Nicole, maybe she can help on that one.

We um the name of our project is called Transitional, but planning had to advertise it under convalescent, and I'm not quite clear why.

Yes, so this will be um kind of the step in between you know being in a shelter and fully being on your own.

So in that capacity, some of these um clients, you know, are probably some of them will need additional support services.

You know, there may be some you know medical issues that haven't been addressed in a while.

So we we um in looking at the code, and this is in the form-based code area.

We determined that the convalescent care would be the best fit for what they're gonna be for the services they're gonna be providing in the facility.

Thank you.

Okay, thank you.

Anyone else?

All right, Commissioner Schlottman.

Yes, uh, Chairwoman through you.

So I uh full disclosure, I live in the area directly across the street, and I'm within the notification area, but uh it won't affect me any greater or lesser than anyone else, so I will be voting on this matter tonight.

Um, you know, when when we first had the county housing that come in across the street from the Fremont Street LOPS, um there was a lot of concern from the residents and and people from the neighborhood about what's gonna happen, why'd the city allow this to happen in our neighborhood?

And this isn't you know, really um supporting the goals of the district and and pushing the neighborhood along.

But you know, after living next to it for the past year and a half, two years, um, it's actually kind of cleaned it up uh quite a bit, um, which I'm I'm shocked to say that because uh what we had was you know, drug dealing temps, prostitution, um you know, everything you could possibly imagine going down in these hourly hotels right across the street, and it it's just a a nuisance.

And uh we we would see police and and uh the police helicopters and uh and and people running through there uh you know every night, two and three times a night, cops would end up having to show up.

I have to say, within the past two years, I hadn't seen any of that.

And um, you know, this is uh one one other hotel that you know uh I'm not gonna say we've had as big of issues out of, but you know, we've had issues out of every one of these uh around there.

So hoping that if the city is actually operating this one and operates a goodsa county, uh, that it'll help uh clean that that hotel up as well, uh or motel up.

Um so I I don't have as big a concern with this.

It looks like we are.

I I know that um there is an exception for those uh three trees.

I it looks like we're we're still planting quite a few trees on this property, and um anyway.

So I I'm gonna welcome this to the neighborhood and hope that you'll operate this and and you'll be hearing from me if uh if we need to make some adjustments to it.

Thank you.

Are you prepared to make a motion?

Yes.

Uh Madam Chair, through you on item number 20.

Sorry, 20.

25-0442 SDR 1.

Uh move to approve subject to staff's conditions.

Thank you.

And you agree to all conditions?

Yes.

Okay, there's a motion on the floor.

Please cast your vote.

Please post.

And that does carry.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

And that is final action tonight.

Must appeal to the city clerk in 10 days.

Thank you.

Okay.

Thank you very much.

All right, let's go back to item 16, abeyance 25-0363 SDR1.

Applicant Owner Iona LLC for possible action on a land use entitlement project request for proposed parking facility with waivers of appendix F interim downtown Las Vegas Development Standards Area 1 on the east side of 4th Street, approximately 150 feet north of Gas Avenue, Ward 3DS.

Staff recommends approval.

May we have the staff report, please.

Madam Chair, this is McKenzie Caldwell for the record.

Please note revise plans we received today, December 9th, showing a five-foot wrought iron fence along the front and rear of the property.

The driveway along 4th Street will not be gated.

This eliminates the need for a waiver of the maximum fence height along the front property line as an eight-foot fence has previously been requested.

The waiver condition has been eliminated in the staff report located in your supplemental packet.

Staff finds the proposed parking facility to be appropriate and filled development within the civic and business district.

The requested waivers are minor and will not detract from the existing pattern of development in this area.

Staff or staff therefore recommends approval subject to conditions.

Please note there is an additional letter of protest submitted after public publication.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Good evening, sir.

If you can please state and spell your name for the rectus record, give us your address and tell us about the project.

Hi, y'all.

Hope you're doing good.

My name is Angelo Venzone, A N G E L O, V E N Z O N.

I'm with Kimley Horn.

Address is 6671 Las Vegas Boulevard 89119.

How do I turn the is the camera or are you on?

Sorry.

Perfect.

Thank you.

So as you can see, so this one, it doesn't deviate too far from what we've seen from a month ago.

So this still has the 14 stalls, seven chargers, 14 uh charging uh parking spaces.

Uh the main conversation that we've had with Commissioner Slotman and our neighboring uh lawyers to the uh uh to the south is the area around here around the amenities building and the back part around here.

The main concern was in regards to the unhoused, and so to mediate that concern, we've added the five-foot rod iron fence to match the facade of both the south and north neighbors, and we've also added gates around the amenities building.

Kind of hard to see, but it's located here on the frontage along fourth street right here, all the way up to the uh to the street facing facade of the amends building, and then we've also gated off this area right here with uh access code um accessible through uh the application on on the on the phones.

So that helps me mediate the uh the unhoused from pooling up or camping around in this area.

And um per our client this facility is also monitored 24-7 uh from uh remote um surveillance um building.

Okay, thank you.

This item has been noticed for public hearing.

Are there any members of the public wishing to be heard on this item?

Okay, seeing none, I will close public hearing.

I will pass it back to the commission.

Does anybody have any comments or questions on this item?

Yes, madam chair, through you.

Uh we held this in abeyance last month because uh Mr.

Greg Greg Cope uh the attorney next door had some questions and there was uh quite a bit of confusion uh about the fence and where it was located, and uh that's been resolved.

The the there wasn't a fence at the back, but the the the uh the elevations were showing a fence at the back.

Uh they have agreed to that fence at the back, and they have agreed to the other fence going around the container, which was uh which was great because that would definitely be a place for people to hide out.

Also, there was a request at the last meeting.

Uh well, it it kept the the eight-foot fence kept being thrown out there.

There's no eight-foot tall fence any longer.

It's a five-foot fence.

Um it'll meet city code.

Um, and so I did speak to the neighbor earlier today, and he was a hundred uh and a uh a hundred percent support of the project with the way that it it it's now being designed.

So there's no other comments.

I'm ready to make a motion.

Okay, just checking again, no other comments.

Anybody?

All right, please make your motion, Commissioner.

And uh chair on item number sixteen abeyance two five-dill three six three sdr one moved to approved, subject to stabs conditions, and you agreed all conditions of approved.

Agreed.

Okay, thank you.

Thank you very much.

There is a motion on the floor.

Please cast your vote.

Please post.

And that motion carries.

And that is final action tonight, unless appeal to the city clerk in 10 days.

Thank you very much.

Okay, item number 17 abeyance 25-0390 SDR1, applicant Keyvon Corsid Owner Dental Training Center and Digital Lab Inc.

for possible action on a land use entitlement project request for a proposed six-story 70 unit mixed use development with 2177 square feet of commercial area with waivers of appendix F interim downtown Las Vegas Development Standards Area 2 at Southeast Corner of Gas and 7th Street Ward 3 Diaz staff recommends denial.

May we have the staff report, please.

Madam Chair, as demonstrated by the numerous requested waivers pertaining to required on-site parking spaces, landscape buffers, lot coverage, and building setbacks that do not conform to Title 19 development standards.

Staff has determined that the proposed development has been overbuilt.

Also, the proposed six-story 88-foot tall development is out of scale with the surrounding area in the founders district, which predominantly consists of two and three-story developments.

Therefore, staff recommends denial of the requested site development plan review.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Good evening, sir.

If you could please state and spell your name for the record, give us your address and tell us about this project.

Good evening, Sheldon Colin, C O L E N, 2140 East Pell Road.

The project, as staff uh described, it's a first-story uh retail project with five stories above it for uh apartments, and it'll have parking on the first floor and then going down into a basement.

Um we have redesigned uh the project based on meetings with uh Commissioner Schlottman and with the staff was presented with a redesign for 56 units.

That is what will be on there, and it still has the same amount of parking at 42.

When we also discuss this project with uh you, uh Commissioner, um we have uh since revised the site plan, and I can provide this to staff if needed.

Um we have added um trees on 7th Street.

There's four new trees that we've shown on this, and on gas, we recessed the building almost five feet on the first level.

It'll still extend out on the second floor and up, which will then create a shade method along this area right here.

And in addition to that, we've included another tree and landscaping on the corner to help with the continuation of um shade and the requirements that the city has adopted.

And also there is uh a rendering showing what the concept is for the building.

It doesn't have the latest things that we discussed today, but we're in agreement on those items.

I'm here to answer any questions.

Thank you very much.

Uh this item has been noticed for public hearing.

Are there any members of the public wishing to be heard?

Okay, seeing none, I will close public hearing.

I will turn it back over to the commission.

Commissioner Schlotman, I'll take you last, but is there anybody else?

Okay, I just want to say thank you so much for um at the last minute taking um my suggestions and input and feedback.

I think this is a really beautiful building.

Um it's a great project.

I think it's gonna be a good sort of foundation for future development.

And um, and again, I just really appreciate being able to have the conversation with you about the city's goals on urban heat island, planting trees that we just talked about in past last month, walkability.

Um, and so I just really again want to just say thank you so much for making those changes.

Really appreciate the collaboration.

Um, and I will pass it to Commissioner Schalotman.

Uh Chairwoman, could could we pass it to uh Nicole for just one second?

Sure, absolutely, Miss Eddie's.

Thank you.

Uh Madam Chair, for the record.

Um, I does uh Mr.

Colin, do you have a copy of those that you have presented tonight that we can give to the clerk to make a part of the record?

Okay.

Um with the new site plan and landscape plan.

I would then need to revise condition of approval number two to read all development shall be in conformance with the site plan and landscape plan date stamped 12925 and building elevations date stamped 11425, except as amended by conditions herein.

And this uh madam chair will get this new landscape plan and site plan officially on the record, and as part of the uh development that you're approving or reviewing tonight.

Okay, thank you.

Thank you.

And then the one question we didn't talk about real quickly, and I couldn't see it because the print was small.

Are you what size trees were you putting in 24 inches?

Uh 36 or 24 inch blocks.

Okay.

It's on there.

But it's on there perfectly.

There's a landscape plan in there too, with all that called out.

Okay.

Specifically.

Okay, thank you again.

Commissioner Schlottman.

All right, Madam Chair, through you.

Um Sheldon, thank you for meeting with me a couple months ago and holding this uh in abeyance.

There they're I completely understand uh steps recommendation for denial based on where they see uh the founders district going.

Um, you know, I I do have a little bit of a different perspective, um, just you know, understanding uh the three to five year supply of land that we have here in the city of Las Vegas uh as was presented to city council just a couple of months ago and uh the need for more housing and and and density and uh when I look at the founders district, I look at it a little bit different.

I look at Craig P.

Kinney and his three or four story, a look at the academy and the new three-story parking garage, the big auditorium that the Academy is about to build, uh the the uh huge law office with the big rotunda over the top of it, and just to the west side of uh to the west side of the academy.

Um I look back at the apartments, the eight or ten story apartments that were built off of uh well that were proposed off of uh maybe 10th street in Charleston that I wasn't really in support of, but it went to council and and and did get support.

Um, and you know, there is another apartment complex approved in this neighborhood uh, you know, within the past few years that that did have some density.

And the reason why we're seeing exceptions and waivers and so much on this particular property is because it it is being built out to the property line and in most areas in the arts district or in other parts of uh Fremont and we would be encouraging you to do that, but we're not necessarily encouraging you to do that in this this neighborhood.

But I I have I have a vision and I feel that this that's where that neighborhoods can go.

It's not gonna stick to single story and two-story um uh houses.

Um I it I feel that there's a higher and better use, and this is probably what we're gonna see more of.

So for those reasons, I appreciate you bringing it down.

I didn't want to didn't want to put the burden of having 70 70 units with only 40 parking spaces in this area.

If it was in the arts district, it would be a little bit different because there's a ton of surface parking lots, there's a city parking garage, there's other reasons, but when we're in this area, it's uh a newer area that uh that you know we kind of do enjoy a little bit more uh parking on the streets, and uh I just don't want to burden all the neighbors with one project coming in and taking up all the off-site parking.

So I appreciate you and your owner uh the owners of the project um uh acknowledging that and making that adjustment.

You have a little bit higher parking standard at 0.75 spaces per per uh per unit.

Uh that's a little bit a lot higher than what we have uh applied to some of these other other uh apartment complexes down the arts district, and and for those reasons I I appreciate you doing that.

So if there's no other comments, I'm written to make a motion.

Please do.

And uh you did hear the uh the condition that uh Miss Eddo's read into the record about adding the trees and the date stamped uh uh plan and all of that.

Yeah, we agree to that.

Okay, and you agree to all other conditions of approval.

Yes, we do.

Okay.

Um item number 17 abandons 25-0390 SDR1 move to approve subject to staff's conditions based on the testimony heard tonight.

Thank you.

There is a motion on excuse me to clarify that's amended conditions and along with the edit condition.

Okay, thanks.

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

Please post.

That motion carries thank you again.

And that will move on to city council on January 21st.

Item 18, 25-0303, applicant owner KCRH3 LLC for possible action on the following land use entitlement project requests at the northeast corner of Cow Canyon Road and Schaumber Road, Ward 6 Bruni.

18A 25 0303 V A R 1 to allow 83 parking spaces where 133 spaces are required and one loading space where two are required.

18B 25 0303 V A R2 to allow a 54 foot residential adjacency setback where 96 feet is required.

18 C 25 0303 SUP1 for a major amendment of an approved special use permit.

22 0172-SUP1 for proposed 200 square foot expansion and a 900 square foot outdoor patio area to an approved 3,800 square foot alcohol on premise full use, 18D 25 0303 SUP2 for proposed 2500 square foot alcohol on premise full use and 18E 25 0303 SDR1 for a major amendment of an approved site development plan review 22 0172 SDR1 for a proposed one-story 10,349 square foot commercial development with a 900 square foot outdoor patio area and parking lot reconfiguration with waivers of building orientation, building facade and perimeter landscape buffer requirements.

May we have the staff report, please.

Yes, madam chair, this is Christian Gates Community Development for the record.

Staff finds the proposed development is not consistent with the vision of commercial development in this area as described in the Kyle Canyon Special Area Plan.

Requested waivers, exceptions, and variances of Title 19 requirements further demonstrate the proposed developments in compatibility with future development in the surrounding area.

Therefore, staff recommends denial of all requested entitlements subject to conditions if approved.

Please note the parcel number on the agenda is incorrect, and the correct parcel number is APN 126-01-301-013.

And please also note that additional letters of support and protest were submitted after publication.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Good evening, sir.

If you can please state and spell your name for the record, give us your address and tell us about the project.

Yes, good evening, Madam Chair.

Planning commissioners, my name is Tony Celeste address 1980 Festival Plaza Drive here on behalf of the applicant.

Also with me in the audience is Adam Corrigan, who is uh the applicant and property owner.

Um, first, if I can just direct your attention to the overhead.

You can see um our site here is uh highlighted in yellow on the northeast corner of Kyle Canyon and Schaumburg.

Uh before I get into this application, I think it's important uh for me to just give you a quick background on the current entitlements of of this project and how we've gotten to where we are today's submit for the uh request for the these entitlements.

Um back in November of 2022.

This uh this site plan was approved.

It was approved, allowing for a 3,800 square foot tavern located here on the corner of the site, or excuse me, internal the site, and then on the corner, a drive-through uh restaurant that was about 2300 square feet.

Total square footage was about 6100 square feet.

Um and again, this was approved three years ago in November of 2022.

Um, shortly after these entitlements, uh Mr.

Corrigan did buy this site.

He was not the property owner at the time who did entitle this site.

Uh last year we did come in for our first extension of time.

Reason being is when this was first entitled was still a lot of uh development plans that were going through and being approved for the surrounding residential, including what is now approved around us, which is Tri uh Tri-Point Homes.

Also, the extension was necessary just to allow additional infrastructure and improvements to get closer to the site.

Uh this past year we have been working uh more on his development plans and what for more his type of uses, and in conjunction with that, we have worked extensively with ward six in particular councilwoman Bruni, planning committee or chairwoman uh Taylor to go over this site to go over their vision and make sure we uh provide uses that are compatible with the the vision out there.

Um I'm proud to stand up here today thinking that we have been able to do that and now presenting you our revised plan.

Um as you can see right here from our site plan.

We are proposing one building instead of two.

Um the total square footage is about 10,300 square feet, so it is about 4,000 square feet total more than what was previously approved, however, located in one building.

Our tavern will be located on the west end cap here, slight increase from the 3800 to about 4,000 square feet.

What we are proposing here is the main anchor tenant is rustic house.

It is a non smoking uh restaurant with uh restricted gaming and on-premise consumption of alcohol.

This will be his fourth location.

Other two are in Boca Park in the city, one in the city of Henderson on Eastern and Serene, and one in Clark County on Sunset and Grand Canyon.

So we this is a great family use, non-smoking, family-oriented with the restricted gaming and non-smoking.

So that was one of the things that we discussed with Ward 6 about the type of restaurants they like to see, and this was the one that was identified, and we're proud to bring it here.

You can see in the middle, we have about another 3,000 square feet that'll be retail, not quite identified yet, but a lot of ideas about potential bicycle shop, Pilates studio, some type of neighborhood commercial use.

And then finally, we have a secondary restaurant, which would also have uh liquor on premise consumption, but no no gaming.

This one would be more uh geared toward breakfast lunch, um, there we offsetting the uh peak hours of what the tavern would be.

Um so we are this is the site plan we are proposing.

Along with that, there are a couple of uh as noted variances associated with this.

In particular, it is uh having to do with the design of Schaumburg or what will be Sheet Mound Parkway.

This site originally started with a little over two acres that was going to be developable.

It has shrunk to about 1.8 acres.

Um we have worked extensively with uh public works and planning on the design of Schomburg.

Um this has been a little bit of a moving target, not not just for us, but but for the city as well, and we greatly appreciate them uh working with us on what this final design will look like.

Just by way of example, you can see right here, or here's the excuse me, the elevations of the building, obviously be first class uh building.

You can see right here is the Schaumburg alignment or Mount Sheet Mound Parkway, which will extend up to Moccasin.

You can see highlighted in blue now is residential that is going in.

That is tri-point.

We are highlighted here, or we are the unhighlighted portion on the corner.

This is what the street section of Sheet Mound Parkway is going to look like.

Basically, it's gonna require 60 feet of dedication on our side plus the required 20 feet of landscaping.

So that essentially it's about 80 feet of usable area for us to develop, and that's what has triggered some of the landscaping uh butt waiver and the parking.

Um, with respect to the landscaping, it occurs right here on Sheep Mound Parkway.

Uh we are supposed to provide a 20-foot common element within that 20 feet would be five feet of landscaping, a five-foot detached sidewalk, and then an additional uh 10 feet of landscaping behind that sidewalk.

We are providing the five feet of landscaping, five feet of sidewalk, but only seven feet of landscaping behind the sidewalk.

Reason being is we do already have a parking reduction required, and if we were to even provide three additional more feet, it would eat even further into that parking reduction.

We feel that the parking we have right here will actually work and works well with his concept of well, you know, well-established operator along with the different type of hours of operation and retail use that this will be sufficiently parked at the 83 spaces.

We are going to offer to add an additional 36-inch box tree in this location right here in the landscape strip, five foot landscape strip.

And also we are going to add uh some additional landscape planters there at portions where we can make sure that it's ADA compliant.

But we definitely want to provide a little bit of landscaping here to soften the appearance from Kyle Canyon Road.

One of the other things I want to note is that we have also worked with our neighbor Tri-Point to the north here.

This is their, it might be, I don't know if we can zoom in, but this is their street section alignment along Sheet Mountain Parkway.

Um I'll read it to you because it is a little bit small, but basically we are uh matching theirs, in fact, providing a little bit more landscaping than theirs.

They are providing a five-foot-wide landscape strip, five foot uh sidewalk detached, and then additional five feet behind the um lands behind the sidewalk there.

Uh, the goal when we were having these meetings over the summer uh with public works in particular and planning was to try to provide a uniform streetscape frontage along Sheet Mound Parkway.

Um we feel that this plan now does match and uniform to that.

There'll be a little bit of tapering down here up here in the north to match what the approved plans are for Tri-Point there.

Um so we appreciate uh you know, staff's review and several meetings.

We appreciate meeting with Tri-Point, our neighbor.

Greatly appreciate the guidance and working with uh ward six.

They've given us a lot of vision and direction.

Um, and hopefully, because of some of the hardships here, a little bit of flexibility and consideration for the parking.

Um, just as a side note, I did a little research as far as other parking waivers um recently granted by the city, one very similar earlier this year in March on Smoke Ranch and uh uh Smoke Ranch and Rainbow, I believe.

Um there was a 10,000 square foot uh about 10,500 square foot uh retail center that was approved actually in addition.

Uh there was originally about 7,000 square feet and then a 3,500 square foot addition.

That addition obviously uh triggered additional parking waiver and very similar to uh to ours.

Um the parking was reduced from 138 spaces to 79.

We're asking to go from 133 to 100 to 83, so about the same ratio, 40 percent on a similar size uh shopping center, both 10,400 square feet.

Um while this is now obviously much more developed out, what we know is coming that Sheet Mountain Parkway and Cyle Canyon Road will be looking very similar to this commercial with uh residential around it.

So we think that's a good guiding point, um, previous precedent that the city has reviewed this um at least at the planning commission city council level, and we're uh supportive of those parking reductions.

Uh we are um agreeable to all the conditions of approval, and like I said, we're we do want to add that one additional tree, and I'm more than happy to answer any questions you may have.

Thank you very much, Mr.

Celeste.

Um, this item has been noticed for public hearing.

Are there any members of the public pushing to be heard?

Please come on down, state your name and spell it for the record and give us your address.

Tom McRae, uh T-O-M-M-A-C-R-A-E.

My address is 10475 Drasky Street.

I'm northwest of this location up in the rural estates.

Um first of all, I want to thank everybody for what you've done at uh Kyle Canyon and Sheep Mountain, everything up there turned out beautiful.

Um the parking reduction we think is crazy of myself talking to other people.

I think they bought it, they know what it is.

They you guys gave the Sheet Mountain.

We lost all the parking, um temporary parking up on Cal Canyon when you get off the freeway because of the developments.

And this is gonna be the first spots, the only commercial spot you guys approved on the master plan.

They're gonna be buried.

Given up parking's crazy.

Um as far as the S250303 SDR, he just talked about landscaping.

I think you should have to put every bit of landscaping in there possible.

It's a desert dirt area where people are gonna be parking.

That's it.

Thank you very much, sir.

Anyone else?

Okay, seeing none, I will close public comment and turn it back over to the applicant.

Uh just a couple things um I would uh say in response.

Uh one, we're gonna be responsible or help coordination with the the city on the full improvements of Kyle Canyon and Sheet Mountain Parkway.

It is gonna look substantially different here in the coming years with those improvements with Tri-Point being built, and like I said, just showed the streetscape that we're uh matching along uh Shamber, Sheet Mound Parkway, and providing the full landscaping and uh development of Kyle Canyon.

Um we're gonna have homes around us.

We think it can be a walkable area as well.

So we do think that the landscaping and the parking will be consistent with the other approved developments and what you're gonna see in three or five years from now.

Thank you very much.

Um okay, we'll turn it back to the commission.

Um okay, then I will just say um thank you so much to you and your client, Mr.

Celeste, for all the work on this.

Um, this is the second commercial development that has been up for review by the planning commission on Kyle Canyon Road, and I think that with all of the residential developments that have been approved, this is just gonna be a really welcome opportunity to really create the community that um ward six has envisioned for Kyle Canyon Road.

Um I'm I'm very excited that you are bringing a smoke-free tavern so that all of the families that are moving up to Kyle Canyon have a place that they can feel if they're not comfortable with smoking, that they can bring their kids and themselves.

Um I think that it's a really tough site.

And while I appreciate very much the concerns about parking, um, I think it's gonna be a really welcome addition.

Um, and hopefully the parking will kind of work with the way that your client has envisioned staggered uses.

Um I really appreciate the work that you've done to um uh coordinate with the residential subdivision adjacent to you.

And I I think that the that it's really creating a great neighborhood and community that can have walkability up there on Kyle Canyon Road.

So I just really again want to thank you for all the work.

Couple questions, and then possibly I need to just that we for all of the collaboration that we did in terms of what it was going to look like, what the use would be.

We never, and I know you said 36-inch box, which I appreciate, but what we've been talking about in terms of a condition for trees instead of just the 36-inch box was again, and I think we may have discussed this the designation of large fast growing trees from the Southern Nevada Water Authority list with a three-inch caliper, six inches above ground level.

100% we we agree to that rev revised condition or however it should be.

But yes, we 100% correct.

Thank you.

All right.

And then can we put in the condition for the added tree?

And thank you again for doing that.

And then can we put some kind of condition in for the site development?

Um review to have the planter landscaping at the front side of the building.

Yes, we can agree to.

We will absolutely put some type of planter.

We just have to make sure ADA compliant.

Right, understand.

Correct, correct.

Okay.

So Missettos.

I don't know if you want to do you want to craft things and have Mr.

Celeste come back or do you want to Madam Chair?

We have so from what I understand in the discussions, there was going to be an added tree on that five foot landscape strip neck next to Schomber.

We have that condition.

Um we I have a condition we can add for the minimum three-inch trunk caliper on the 36-inch box trees.

Um I can and then I'm sorry, and then the the next was a planter box adjacent to the we'll go back to the 36-inch box.

The language that we've been using, that fast, large growing trees species with the three-inch caliper.

Okay, we can craft that up.

And then maybe something like inclusion of um additional um planter-based landscaping, not to occlude ADA parking or access.

And if I may add along this south elevation on the south elevation, yeah.

Yeah, madam chair, I I worry about adding that condition because you have to maintain a an ADA pathway.

Okay, which is 36 inches.

So you would then be pushing that out another three feet, and I don't know that they're gonna have that enough room or space to give up an additional three feet and then keep the required drive aisle width.

Okay.

I I would hate to make that a condition because then if they can't make it work, they have to come back and do a review of condition.

Um if we can get um I I think Mr.

Celeste would do his best to try and make it work.

I think he will.

I think he will.

Um it's gonna be a for first class.

I know it is that, yeah.

I know it's gonna be great.

Um I'm I'm really excited about this project.

So okay, so let's not put that condition in.

Maybe as you start to develop it, we can just we'll keep you posted for sure.

Okay, perfect.

Um, maybe you can put some stuff on the patio, like on the edge of the patio.

Um, okay, but so the 366 box and the addition of that one last tree.

If the if you can just read those conditions.

Yes, madam chair through you, we would amend condition number 11 of 25-0303-SDR1 to add the technical landscape plan.

Shall include the following changes from the conceptual landscape plan.

A fast growing tree with the three-inch caliper base, 36-inch box tree shall be placed at the northwest corner of the subject property within the five-foot-wide landscape buffer adjacent to Schombra Road.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Um, okay.

Anyone have anything else?

All right, otherwise, then I'm gonna make a motion to approve 25-0303.

Um, and all of its subpart with the added in conditions, and you agree to those in all existing conditions.

We agreed all the revive the additional revising exists in all conditions.

Thank you.

Okay, great.

Thanks.

There is a motion on the floor, please cast your votes.

Um please post that motion carries.

Thank you, Mr.

Celeste, for helping to again create a great neighborhood up there on Kyle Canyon Road and appreciate again all your collaboration.

We appreciate uh ward six and working with us, and we look really look forward to this development.

Thank you very much.

And that is final action tonight.

Let's appeal to the city clerk in 10 days.

Thank you.

Item 19, 25-0420, VAR1.

Variants, applicant owner, the Alma Family Trust for possible action on a land use entitlement project request to allow an existing home addition and residential accessory structures, shed and straight shade structure, and propose patio cover that do not conform with Title 19.06 development standards for setbacks, separation, and lot coverage at 305 LaRue Court.

Ward 1 Knutson staff recommends denial.

May we have the staff report, please.

Madam Chair, no evidence of a unique or extraordinary circumstance has been presented in that the applicants has created a self-imposed hardship by constructing a home addition, shed and shade structure without permits that do not comply with the current Title 19 setbacks and separation requirements, as well as proposing to construct a patio cover that does not meet Title 19 setback requirements.

Therefore, staff recommends denial the variance requests.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Good evening, sir.

If you can please state and spell your name for the record, give us your address and tell us about the project.

Good evening.

Uh Commissioners.

Edgar Montalbo, M O N T A L B O, 3606, Calico Brook Court, Las Vegas, Nevada, A9147, on behalf of the client.

And uh pretty much this is a residential project where the clients saw that they were one of these projects on the client thing, then they can do whatever they want just because it's their property.

So now they got uh this uh notice of regulation and we're trying to make it compliant.

So we're trying to make it work in the way that they have it.

Pretty much they they built an additional um bedroom on this corner.

They have a patio and they have uh these shade structure on the corner, then they agree then they're gonna be removing it because it doesn't add anything to their their property right now, just covering the the pool equipment and this uh storage on the corner.

They did a beautiful work and they did it very to look very very nice on the house.

The thing is, and they don't have any permits.

So the issue that they have right now is the uh the setbacks, they're omitting the setbacks on the property.

And uh, but uh they they got the approval from more than neighbors, all the six neighbors and they have I just sent to it, they have uh additional letter, so I want to leave it here with you so for for the case.

So pretty much that's what we're looking for.

Your your approval for the lack of the thank you very much.

Well, the uh this is on the setbacks, and uh we're willing to uh to work with you if you have any conditions, and of course they're willing to accept it.

They uh they're a beautiful couple, uh it's Anna Anilda, and they're gonna have uh they're they're expecting the twins right now, so they don't want to have any more uh problems on on the house because they're just expecting the baby.

So that's why they couldn't be here because they have a medical medical appointment tonight.

But I'm here to answer any of the questions that you might have.

Okay, thank you very much, sir.

This item has been noticed for public hearing.

Are there any members of the public wishing to be heard?

Okay, seeing none, I will close public hearing.

I will turn it back to the commission.

Anyone have comments or questions on this item other than Commissioner Rogan.

No, okay, I will pass it to Commissioner Rogan.

Uh thank you, Chair.

Um, I just for the edification of the other members of the commission, I met with Edgar and his clients uh yesterday evening to take a look at the project and speaking with them.

A lot of these additions, the additions to the home, the shed were actually constructed by the prior owners, not these folks, which in my mind makes a difference.

Um they did agree to take the detached shade structure down in addition to it not being serving any useful purpose.

It's also adjacent to homes that themselves have set back issues that have not been approved by this commission or the city council, and so I think that it would be a fire hazard if one of those caught fire would certainly spread to um all of the neighboring structures that are just immediately adjacent to that shade structure.

So they've kindly agreed to take that down.

Um the additions are aesthetically compatible.

The shade structure that is attached is large, but it is aesthetically compatible and it does provide that shade.

I had no problem with it in looking at it.

Um Edgar, you agree to take down that shade structure, right?

Yes.

Okay, and you agree to all the other conditions.

Yes, we are.

And Ms.

Eddoes, I believe there's some amended conditions uh due to that agreement to take down the detached shade structure.

Madam Chair, the following conditions are amended to read as follows.

Number seven, a variance is hereby denied to allow zero foot side yard setback where three feet is required, detached shade structure.

Number eight, a variance is hereby denied to allow a zero foot rear yard setback where three feet is required, detached age structure.

And number nine, a variance is hereby denied to allow 53% lock coverage for 50% is the maximum allowed.

Thank you.

And that's only because the detached shade structure brings you down below 50 percent.

Yes, thank.

All right, and since there are no other comments, I'm ready to make a motion with regard to agenda item 19, project 25-0420 VAR1.

I move for approval subject to staff's conditions as amended here tonight.

Thank you.

There's a motion on the floor, please cast your votes.

Commissioner Rodford.

Oh, great.

Please post.

And that motion carries.

And that is final action tonight, unless appeal to the city clerk in 10 days.

Thank you very much.

And uh Merry Christmas to all.

Thank you very much.

Item 23, 25.

Thank you, Mr.

Dewar.

Thank you.

Um item 23, 25-0483 V A R1, applicant owner Guadalupe Gene Viva Ramirez for possible action on a land use entitlement project to request land use entitlement project request to allow an existing residential accessory structure carport that does not conform to Title 19.06 development standards for replacement, separation, and aesthetic compatibility at 86 Page Street, Ward 3 Diaz, Steph recommends denial.

May we have the staff report, please.

Madam Chair, no evidence of a unique or extraordinary circumstance has been presented in that the applicant has created a self-imposed hardship by constructing a carport without permits that do not comply with current Title 19 setbacks and separation requirements, as well as proposing to construct a patio cover that does not meet Title 19 setback requirements.

Therefore, staff recommends denial the variance request.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Good evening, ma'am.

If you can please state and spell your name for the record, give us your address and tell us about your project.

Hello, my name is Guadalupe.

Um G-U-A-D.

L-U-P-E.

Ramirez R-A M-I-R-E-C.

And so, yes.

Um asking for you guys to let me continue having my uh pario cover.

It's just for personal use, and the problem right there with the in the house is that we get the sunlight directly to our windows.

So um we ask um to have our windows replaced, and it was like more than five thousand dollars.

So I couldn't afford it.

So then I ask one of the handyman if we could do something, and then um this person told me if it's you can ask for a variance, but if it's gonna be wood, um you have to ask for permit, and then say um, but only if it's gonna be wood and if it's attached to your house, and if he has like electricity included or something like that.

So um, so I say, okay.

Um what about if it's a metal one?

Because I see my neighbors.

Um I don't know how you can see I have pictures right here.

They um in the same street, four of my neighbors had the same structure, um, kind of like it's uh the same material which is metal.

Um so uh I asked one of my neighbors and they say they they have it for years.

They they need it, they did not need a permit, they just did it.

So that's why I went ahead with the project.

And so like I said, it's not bothering nobody.

It's just for personal use.

When it rains, even the water comes inside my property, not outside.

So if there is a way that you guys can let me have it, I'll appreciate it.

Thank you very much, ma'am.

This item has been noticed for public hearing.

Are there any members of the public wishing to be heard?

Okay, seeing none, I will go ahead and close public hearing.

I will pass it back to the commission.

Does anybody other than Commissioner Schlottman have any questions or comments on this item?

Okay, seeing none, Commissioner Schlotman.

Yes, uh, Madam Chair, through you, I appreciate you coming out today and presenting to us.

I you know, I looked at this and I looked up and down the street.

I I did see one or two, but uh uh houses uh further down with carports.

However, um the carports uh I traditionally have never supported this because that it doesn't meet our code.

It it uh protrudes almost all the way out to the front of the uh the your front property line, and you know, and then we look aesthetically uh is it compatible with the house and is really not compatible with the house.

Unfortunately, the person who ever advised you on this um advised you incorrectly, and um and I mean if it's somebody that you paid, I would suggest going back to the contractor's board to get your money back out of that person uh because they shouldn't be uh giving you that bad bad advice.

But I I just uh I I can't support it just because uh front front patios, I I I've seen them a hundred times, and I just uh have never uh been able to find a way to grant a variance on uh the front these front patios, unless if anybody else has any other comments, I'm ready to make a motion.

Well, um I'm thinking if it's your concern is about safety, um, which of course being in my house and uh being used for my my children and my grandchildren, I appreciate it, and I'll follow the rules definitely um to be in compliance with it, but just by saying, Oh, it's just it doesn't come with the the you know the other houses, but um I don't wanna go against of course my neighbors or anything, but it just I find it kind of like unfair just because somebody say oh, does uh that person have permit for that, but it's not the um it's not about safety.

Like I say, other neighbors have it too, and definitely I'm not the kind of person that I'm gonna point fingers at my own neighbors, you know.

Right, madam, madam chair.

Yes, I'll just address that.

I it and it's not about safety, it's uh it's not about having a building permit or not having a building permit.

If you would have had a building permit, you uh and went to the building department, you would have found out that this wouldn't have been allowed, you would have come to this board to ask for the variants, and then we would have told you no, we could have saved you all the money and heartache of having to build this.

And if the other neighbors come forth uh, you know, before this board here within the next couple of years while I'm still on this board, they're gonna face the same same issue just as the past you know, 60 or so people that have come and asked for this variance, and very few cases where there is a uh a huge setback on on a property of residential estate or something where the house is you know 50 feet, 75 feet back from from the property line if uh if a patio enclosure would encroach five uh you know three, four or five feet, but this uh the entire patio enclosure is encroaching.

So um, and if it was about just anything coming into your windows, uh light or whatever, you could use shades.

Uh there's a lot of other other reasons, but you know, it's not the worst one that I've ever seen, but there have been some pretty bad ones that have come before this board, and you know, I just can't I can't find myself trying to prove one whenever I've told so many people know uh it would be unfair and unjust to every person who's come before us for the past 14 years while I've been up here.

Well, maybe we can make changes, right?

We could uh but this is one where there's uh where I feel that there's good reason why we don't do this, and I could show you plenty of reasons uh at some other time why why we don't do this, and uh because there are some really really bad ones out there.

So but sorry about that and sorry about somebody misguiding you, but uh I do have to stick to our our city code on this one.

Okay, would you like to make a motion?

Thank you.

Yes, uh Madam Chair, on item number 23, uh 25-0483 VAR1 move to follow staff's recommendation for denial.

Thank you.

There's a motion on the floor.

Uh yay vote is for denial.

Please cast your votes.

Please please post.

And that motion carries.

And that is final action unless appeal to the city clerk in 10 days.

Thank you.

Item 24, 25-0499, applicant owner 300 Charleston Apartments Q's QOZB L L C for possible action on the following land use entitlement project request at the southeast southwest corner of Charleston Boulevard and Fourth Street Ward 3 Diaz.

Staff recommends denial on the land use entitlement project 24A 25-0499 EOT1 for mixed use development.

24B 25-0499 EOTEOT2 for proposed eight-story mixed use development consisting of 501 residential units and 20,313 square feet of commercial space with a waiver of the 70% build to line requirement.

May we have the staff report, please.

Madam Chair.

On October 22nd, 2019, the planning commission approved a special use permit and site development plan review for entitlements related to an eight-story mixed-use development at the subject site.

This is the third request for an extension of time of these entitlements.

Due to this being the third request for an extension of time, staff has determined the applicant has not demonstrated the ability to develop the site in a timely manner.

Therefore, staff is recommending denial of both extension of time requests.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Good evening.

Um can you please state and spell your name for the record and give us your address and tell us about this project.

Sure.

Hi, Laura Drea, 520 South 4th Street.

Drea is spelled D R E J A.

I'm here on behalf of the applicant and the current owner.

As staff did mention, uh, this technically is the third extension of time of an entitlement established in 2019.

However, this current applicant bought the property in August of 2022.

This is only the extension of time for this party as they have had the property for a little over three years.

In that time, the applicant has submitted a minor modification to improve upon the design.

The improvements included daylighting a lot more of the amenities and also the units.

And then they also um switched up the unit count to reduce the studios and add more one and two bedrooms.

Uh these modifications were approved approximately nine months ago in January of this year.

We've only had nine months to enact that design.

But regardless, the uh master plan aims to attract more residents to the arts district and to promote residential infill.

Uh this project remains perfectly aligned with these goals.

We're moving in the right direction, and we're confident that you will see the appropriate progress by this time in 2022 as or 2027, excuse me, as per the conditions.

Thank you.

Uh this item has been noticed for public hearing.

I will um pass it back to the commission.

Does anybody other than Commissioner Schlottman have any questions or comments on this item?

Okay, seeing none, Commissioner Schlottman.

Yes, uh Chairwoman, through you.

Um look forward to seeing this project being built.

Um, can you remind me when uh how far you've made it on plans on this particular project?

On this particular project, we did develop the structural plans.

They haven't been submitted yet.

We've also uh extensively designed the landscaping plan.

We hope if things go to plan that we'll break ground by January of 2027.

Okay.

And we did have a conversation about this particular project, and um, and just to put it on the record, what we did discuss was I I want to see progress here within before the two years is up.

I want to see, I want to see civil plans, I want to see building plans, I want to see it in the building department, uh, or I want to see it going up in the air.

Um if that significant progress is not made um and uh two years come around and I'm still sitting up here, you're not gonna see my support, so don't even ask for an extension of time.

Um, you know, unless if you're just so close where we're just waiting on final signatures on plans.

So if you I would encourage the owners to get after this as quick as they possibly can because it takes a while, especially with a project of this size, and they're probably gonna burn up a year and a half, two years working on their plan.

So you'll have to have to really go out this hard.

But other than that, we need this housing downtown.

We need it in Arts District.

We need to support all the businesses that are down there.

So uh for those reasons, I'll be supporting this matter.

Okay, thank you.

Commissioner Schlotman, did you want to make your motion?

Yes.

And this is on item number 24, 25-0499.

Uh move to approve.

Uh that would be on 24A and 24B uh subject to SaaS conditions and you agree to all staff's conditions if approved.

Yes.

Thank you.

Thank you.

There's a motion on the floor.

Please cast your vote and please post.

And that motion carries.

Thank you.

And that is final action.

Let's appeal to the city clerk in 10 days.

Thank you.

Item 25, 20-050.

Applicant owner LV Medical District Hotel LLC for possible action on the following land use entitlement project requests on the southwest corner of Charleston Boulevard and Pay Horde Drive, Ward 1 Knutson.

Staff recommends denial on the land use entitlement project 25A, 25-0500 V A R1 to allow a zero-foot perimeter landscape buffer adjacent to a T3 designated parcel where 15 feet is the minimum required.

25B 25-0500 VAR2 to allow a building address to be assigned on Charleston Boulevard, where the building address shall be assigned to the primary street from which the major ingress and egress occurs.

And 25C, 25-0500 SDR1 for a proposed five-story 140-room hotel development with waivers of Title 19.09 form-based code development standards.

May we have the staff report, please?

Yes, madam chair.

The proposed development encourages medical tourism as an economic growth strategy for downtown Las Vegas, which would be supported by the hotel development.

However, the associated variances and waivers of Title 19 requirements demonstrate the proposed developments and compatibility with adjacent residential development in the immediate area.

As such, staff recommends denial of the requested variances and site development plan review.

Subject to conditions of approved.

Please note there is a revised staff report and landscape plan in your supplemental packet.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Good evening, gentlemen.

If you can please state and spell your names for the record, give us your address and tell us about this project.

Good evening, Madam Chair for the record.

John Curran, 10660 Royal Pine Avenue here on behalf of the applicant and from the development team.

John Mulkey, J O H N M U L K E Y.

I reside at 8913 Players Club Drive, 89134.

We're pleased to present uh site development review with accompanying variances for a five-story 140-room uh hotel in the heart of the uh medical district.

The subject site is an assemblage 1.4 acres on West Charleston between Rancho and uh Martin Luther King.

Uh the hotel's tastefully designed with a little nod to the neighborhood, did incorporate some mid-century modern uh thematic elements.

You've got your breeze blocks and your stone veneer.

Um wanted wanted to present the site as well.

You'll notice the hotel is positioned right along West Charleston to maximize uh walkability in this core.

Uh, we also included a 1300 square foot cafe, uh, and all these things again are to advance those goals in the uh downtown 2045 downtown master plan.

Uh the site is in the heart of the medical district, it has been well received by neighbors, including UMC Valley Hospital and uh Kirkakorian School of Medicine.

All of them have uh uniformly said there is a demand for high quality uh extended stay hotels in the uh in the medical district.

The site does meet minimum parking requirements per code.

However, the uh development team is quite experienced when it comes to hotel operations and are uh sensitive to the parking needs of this of this project.

Um for your information, they did uh the team does uh lease a adjacent parking space, parking lot with 50 additional spaces, but uh to really maximize the guest experience, you want as much on-site parking as you can.

Uh so with that in mind, that did necessitate uh a variance of a landscape buffer here on this southern residential adjacency.

Uh 15 feet is required.

We're requesting zero feet.

However, I want to point out um we did double the density of these trees.

In addition to that, uh we we've called out on our uh landscape plan that these trees are to be 36-inch box tree with a minimum three-inch caliper.

These are willow trees, they're uh relatively fast growing, big canopy and should help address that uh concern about the residential adjacency here.

I also wanted to point out the hotel, of course, is all the way tucked along Charleston.

So as far as you can get away from that uh from that residential adjacency.

Um the other variants we are requesting is for a Charleston address.

Of course, that just helps with wayfinding and marketability of the project.

Um but uh we're really excited.

This is uh a Hilton home to suit, so it'll fly under that uh that brand uh tastefully designed.

I think it's gonna be a real asset to the burgeoning medical district, and uh we're excited to to get to work on it.

The development team has worked closely with staff for many months on this project and wanted to shout out EUD City Manager planning public works and uh as always just been a joy to work with.

So uh with that, we respectfully request your vote for approval.

Otherwise, and uh happy to answer any questions you may have.

Thank you very much.

Uh, this item has been noticed for public hearing.

Are there any members of the public wishing to be heard?

If you're gonna speak on an item, come on down when the item gets called.

Thanks.

Hi, Laura McSwain again for the record, MCS W A I N, also with the Water Fairness Coalition.

First of all, I want to apologize to the applicant on item number 17.

I saw the 25 and thought because I was late, um, they clearly had landscaping.

Um to that point, I'm hoping that the document that I provided can be moved to this item and not put on item 17.

I I did submit um an article about urban landscaping.

I do like to see that uh that they did upgrade the landscaping here.

The only question I have, and I'm uh anxious to hear your conversation, is about the form-based code.

A lot of work went into that, and I don't think I've seen an application yet being used form-based code, so I do worry about precedent.

Um again, we live up the street.

Uh, but it sounds it looks lovely so far.

So, anyway, thank you so much.

Thank you very much.

Anyone else wishing to be heard?

Tara if anybody else wants to be heard on this item or any other items, please come down when the item gets called so that we can just have people up at the mics.

Tara Anderson for the record, T E R A A N D E R S O N 1213 Eaton Drive.

Um, I completely respect um and and appreciate as a resident of the area the need for development and infill in this area, but I implore this body to please require conformance to form-based code.

This is precedent setting.

My biggest concern is the commercial value.

We already have very overburdensome land prices, and if we're not conforming um to this, we're going to exacerbate that problem.

We have an entire commercial core of downtown that is underutilized and underdeveloped, and projects of this nature are better suited there.

There's also the heart of the medical district in which form-based code anticipated the density and the use and the like.

And so, very, very concerned about setting precedent on a newly recently adopted form-based code that we have yet to proceed with implementing in the city.

And just for the record, we're we have a project asking for a variance, and with all due respect to the commissioner, just two applications ago, we didn't award a negligible variance to a resident on an affordability issue in a marketplace where they put a carport on their home, and we're allowing and considering large-scale developments such as this nature not conforming to the standards that the city has adopted.

So please take that into consideration before allowing the variance.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Um, the applicant want to come back up and oh, sorry.

Anyone else want to be heard on this item?

Okay, seeing that I will close public hearing.

I'll bring the applicant back up for any response.

Yeah, I would just point out again, this site is uh you know strategically located right across the street from UMC.

Um, you know, patients who often have long-term stays have families and friends who come to visit, and that that proximity is is critical to have a sort of high quality extended stay.

Again, we've heard unanimous sort of feedback from those from those hospitals that this is a uh a really strong demand in the area.

Um I'd point out that uh a hotel of this size might typically be built on a you know two and a quarter acre type site.

Uh this assemblage was uh is 1.4 acres.

Again, we do control additional parking on the other side of the street, but um you know the the irregular parcel size and uh you know trying to get this onto this site just necessitated that uh that variance and um you really think we made some pretty good accommodations to try to uh you know do the best we could on this.

Thank you very much.

Um okay, with that I will pass it back to um the commission.

Does anyone other than Commissioner Rogan have any comments on this item?

Okay, I have just a couple comments if that's okay, Commissioner Marvin.

Um I just want to say again, um thank you, Mr.

Kern and your team for working on the landscape and trying to make sure that we have the best possible opportunities to meet what we just passed last month in terms of um tree and urban trees and urban forestry and trying to promote walkability.

I also just want to say anecdotally, what an incredibly important project I personally think this is.

Um I had a family member have to have an extended stay in a hospital in another major environment and major city, and there was not a hotel nearby.

I had to take a cab back and forth, and so I appreciate the thoughtfulness of this project.

Um so I just again wanted to say thank you for working with um with the city and and listening to my concerns on you know one of the priorities that I really see that we need to be working towards for the city, and with that I will um pass it back to Commissioner Rogan.

Thank you, Chair.

Um coincidentally, I was going to the same hospital that your family member was and had the same issue where there was no uh hotel in the vicinity of the hospital, um, and so uh had to take a cab, had to go further afield to um to find a place to stay for a long period of time.

And uh it it is difficult when you're undergoing that kind of medical treatment to even uh have to travel.

And so having a hotel like this um in the vicinity of a hospital is a major boost to not only um uh the city, but it's also particularly to to UMC.

Um that being said, I did have concerns with some of the requests that you had brought forward, and we were able to work through some of those.

The major concerns I had were were twofold.

First was the orientation of the entrance to the hotel along rather being on Charleston Boulevard rather than in the rear.

You made your best efforts, you brought several designs forward to me.

It just wouldn't work.

The choice is either having the cafe front Charleston Boulevard or having the hotel front Charleston Boulevard.

And I think the cafe makes sense, a cafe in the rear or a smaller cafe really isn't going to work.

It would never, it would never um, it would never survive at that location.

Um the second concern was the neighbor to the south with the zero-foot landscape buffer along that residential property.

That was a no-go.

I would have killed that project, this project for that reason alone.

But you came up with a great idea to approximate a landscape buffer by putting in more um parking islands with trees, and um at my request and uh chairs request having those fast growing larger trees so that the neighbors are uh to the south is not um greatly affected.

And I believe you're also working on the lighting as well to make sure that that lighting doesn't spill over to the neighboring um residents, which I think is is very important as we move forward with these types of form-based code projects along Charleston Boulevard and elsewhere.

So you've done everything that that I asked of you, um, and I appreciate that very much.

Um the waivers that of the form-based code that have been requested are relatively minor.

For example, the the main building body is a depth of 105, where a hundred feet is um is the maximum allowed.

I I I those are negligible.

I don't think that uh to the naked eye, it's gonna be determinable whether a building depth is 105 feet versus 100 feet.

And the the remainder of these ri waiver requests are also negligible, a 16-foot corner side yard back where 15 is the maximum allowed.

It's it's the same, it's the same issue for me.

So I didn't really have an issue with those.

Um I have to say I agree with the uh Miss McSwain and Miss Anderson for coming down here.

This is precedent sending setting, and I I did talk to to you, Mr.

Mulkey, when we met that it's very important that this is done right because if we start granting waivers, huge waivers and huge exceptions to the form-based code, everyone's gonna expect it.

And then the design is gonna deteriorate, and we're not gonna meet the goals of the form-based code and the goals of transit-oriented development if we start allowing that to happen.

But that being said, these are relatively minor, as I said before, and I I have no problem with them.

With that record made, are there any other questions before we move on?

Um did was there any amendments to conditions related to the um parking lot island trees?

Do we have it as 36-inch box as per the plan, or did we and can you agree to the fast growing large, fast growing trees with a three-inch caliper at six inches above?

We submitted a new landscape plan into the record yesterday, so that does call out the three-inch caliper, 36-inch box.

The species specified are on the SNWA list.

They are all they're none of them are they are moderate to fast growers.

Okay, and they're large on there.

They're large designated trees.

Yes, the the southern uh adjacency, these are all uh the large willows 363 inch caliber, and that's a big canopy, big canopy.

Yeah, okay.

Thank you.

Madam Chair, the updated plans and the staff report is in your supplemental packet that is on your um dia set there for you.

Okay.

Yeah, it was received after posting, so we have to make it a part of the record um during this hearing.

So we provided a hard copy for you.

Right.

Um for you to review physically.

Okay.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Apologies for having to ask the question.

Thank you for submitting that plan.

Okay.

Um, Commissioner Rogan, would you like to make your motion?

Yes, thank you, uh, Mr.

Kern.

Before I do, uh, you've had a chance to review the re the conditions in the supplemental packet.

And you, on behalf of your client, agree to all of those conditions.

Yes.

Okay.

Um, with that being said, um, with regard to agenda item 25, project 25-050, subparts A through C and make a motion for approval subject to those conditions.

Thank you.

There is a motion on the floor.

Please cast your votes.

Um please post and that motion carries.

And that is final action unless the Pial of the City Clerk within 10 days.

And for the city clerk, I believe the item that Miss McSwain referred to that she submitted something was actually out of 20.

So if her um document could be included with from item 20 with this item.

Thank you.

Uh okay.

And item I'm gonna call items 26 and 27 up together for presentation.

We will vote on them separately.

Um, but just again for efficiency.

So 26 is item 250539, applicant Greystone Nevada LLC, owner, state of Nevada Division of State Lands for possible action on the following land use entitlement project request at the northeast corner of Washington Avenue and Las Vegas Boulevard, Ward 5 Summers Armstrong staff recommends approval on the land use entitlement project 26A, 25 0539 DIR1 regarding the adoption of the Grant Soy Development Agreement between the City of Las Vegas and Greystone Nevada LLC.

26B, 25 0539 TMP 1 for proposed 290 lot single family residential subdivision, and then item number 27, which is 25 0540, applicant Greystone Nevada LLC owner City of Las Vegas for possible action on the following land use entitlement project requests generally bounded by Washington Avenue, Maryland Parkway, Sagman Street, and Las Vegas Boulevard, Ward 5, Summers Armstrong staff recommends denial on the land use entitlement project 27A 25 0540 DIR1 regarding the adoption of the Cashman Development Agreement between the City of Las Vegas and Greystone Nevada LLC 27B 25 0540 VAC1 petition to vacate portions of right-of-way Harris Avenue and Maryland Parkway and 27 C 25 0540 TMP 1 for proposed 781 lot single family detached and attached residential subdivision.

May we have the staff reports on 26 and 27, please.

Yes, madam chair.

For item number 26, the proposed development agreement conforms to the requirements of NRS 278 regarding the content of development agreements through the proposed development and design standards.

The development will be consistent and compatible with the surrounding area, and we provide much needed housing stock in downtown Las Vegas.

Staff therefore recommends approval of the proposed development agreement and tenant map.

Please note there is the revised staff report and landscape plan in your supplemental packet and note an additional letter of protest was submitted after publication.

For item number 27, the proposed development agreement also conforms to the requirements of NRS regarding the contents of development agreements.

Again, through the proposed development agreement and design standards, the development will be consistent and compatible with the surrounding area and would provide much needed housing stock in downtown Las Vegas.

Additionally, as staff has no objection to the request to vacate city interests and portions of right-of-way on Harris Avenue and Maryland Parkway.

Staff recommends approval of all requested entitlements with the vacation intended amount subject to conditions.

Please note there is a revised staff report and landscape plan in your supplemental packet, and also note that additional letters of protest were submitted after publication.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Good evening.

Can you please state and spell your name for the record?

Give us your address and tell us about this project.

Good evening, Madam Chair Commissioner Stephanie Grown Hour, 1980 Festival Plaza Drive, Grown Hours G-R-O-N-A-U E R.

Here on behalf of the applicant Lenar Homes.

We were here several weeks ago with the associated master plan amendment and zone change for both the Grant Sawyer property as well as the Cashman property.

We're excited today to share with you the actual plans for broke both projects.

We have tenative maps for both both sites as well as development agreements for both sites.

We very much appreciate your staff's recommendation of approval on the entire project and entire application.

Your planning department, your public works, your fire, and your city attorney, as you know, are stellar and have been just as stellar on this project as they always are under a bit of a time crunch.

So we really appreciate all of their hard work and effort on this.

I'm going to start with Grant Sawyer, which is item number 26 on your agenda.

This is about 22 acres, located on the north side of Washington.

It's just east of Las Vegas Boulevard.

The state of Nevada is the seller of this property, so if this is approved, Lenar would buy this from the state, demolish the site, and redevelop it with homes in this area, which we're hoping will be a catalyst to a whole lot of great things in the downtown area.

The plan that's before you is for 290 homes on this property.

There will be a gated entryway off of Washington.

You can see here, and I I do have a new landscape plan and concept entry concept that I'll share with you in just a second.

But this main entry will be located here.

Right as you drive in, you'll have your main amenity area with a pool and tot lot for the residents in here.

There'll be a secondary resident entry and exit off of Vision Park Drive here.

A lot of open space.

The roll curb is in the property as well as guest parking.

We exceed the parking requirements, and we have 101 guest parking spots in here for residents.

All of these homes, they're colored by product type, but all of them have two car garages, which is great for any home buyer in here.

They're all four sale units.

The yellow are the larger detached units that are between 2,500 or 2,055 square feet up to 2405 square feet.

So decent size homes with two car garages.

The blue are more like detached town homes.

So we're in the downtown urban core.

This is going to be dense, and the goal is to keep these as attainable as possible from a price point.

So those are a little bit smaller.

Those are 1705 to 1945, but again, all with the two-car garages provided.

So excited about that.

The development agreement does allow up to the R3 density, which is 24.99 units to the acre.

But as I mentioned, this site plan is 290 units.

It's about 12 units to the acre, so it's well under that density that would be allowed.

But if we were to do anything, we'd have to come back before you, obviously, with a revised tentative map to show any revisions.

This is that landscape plan I mentioned.

So you can see we've got a lot of ample trees, connectivity.

There's a trail along Las Vegas Boulevard.

The entry feature, again, it's concept, but it'll look really nice on the eastern edge of that entryway.

This is not going to be the name of the community, but again, again, just to show you a concept for what this master plan community really will look like on the north side of Washington.

That is the highlights for Grant Sawyer.

It takes me to Cashman.

So here's Cashman on the south side of Washington.

This is about 55 acres of property.

On the south side of Washington, Las Vegas Boulevard is again to the east.

You'll see on our map, we've set aside about 2.6 acres of land on Las Vegas Boulevard for future commute commercial development.

So it's not a part of our plan, and some at some point will come through and develop that commercial property.

I know there's a huge demand in the downtown area, and especially with all these homes for commercial, so that'll be a nice added area for the commercial.

For the site plan, we have this is our site plan.

Again, the main entry will be on Washington with a really beautiful long entryway located here.

There will be two other access points on Maryland Parkway along the south, one that's a gated egress and ingress, and one that's just an egress here.

As I mentioned, that future commercial will be located here along Las Vegas Boulevard.

It needs to be parceled out, so at some point after this, it will be parceled off and sold and developed as commercial.

This one has an even more dense cross section of product.

They're designated by color as well.

The yellow are those detached homes, all of which are three-story.

The orange, the pink, and the blue are all townhomes with different variations, so it'll look different and live different in here.

Most of the homes have two-car garages.

Some of the smaller ones, which are the blue here, have either a single car or tandem.

But for the most part, these all have two car garages.

They're again all for sale units.

So everyone in this whole neighborhood, it'll be a new neighborhood, will own their property, own the land under their property with either a town home or a detached single family home.

Again, we there is guest parking and roll curbs in this uh community as well.

We have a hundred and sixty nine guest parking spaces for 781 units.

We have a total of 950 parking spaces total in here.

Um, and again, a mix of sizes.

They go from as small as 1,300 roughly, or actually sorry, 1,100 square feet all the way up to that 2,000 uh plus in the yellow units.

So um the goal again is to make sure that these homes are attainable for people that want to buy in this area that live in this area and haven't been able to afford housing or live in this in this area for new home buyers.

I mean, this really is an exciting new addition to the downtown area, and hopefully, as I mentioned, it'll be a catalyst to to change in the overall area.

As I mentioned, we have a new site plan that's uh in your backup that also shows the connectivity.

If you've been to Cashman, this is that area where there's a huge drop in elevation.

So this is really difficult to develop this area, but there will be connectivity in there with uh trails.

There's also a pool area, cabanas, and and um totlot space here for the kids in the community.

The units will have some of their own private space as well, open space as well with balconies or patios.

Um, many of them.

And then again, this is the uh concept for the entry.

There is an accidental S that has been added to this, so this will not be Cashman's plural, it will be Cashman.

But again, this is just in concept so that you can see what it'll look like.

It'll look really nice in this downtown area and be a nice new gated community.

Um so with that said, I'm happy to answer any questions you have on either project.

We again appreciate staff's recommendation of approval and we'd ask for yours tonight.

Thank you very much.

This item has been noticed for public hearing.

Are there any members of the public wishing to be heard?

Seeing none, I will close public hearing.

I will pass it over the I will pass it back to the commission.

Does anyone other than Commissioner Munford have?

Oh I'm sorry, did you want to speak, ma'am?

I am so sorry.

You need to come down.

If you're gonna speak on items, you need to come down.

Good evening.

Thank you, ma'am.

Sorry about that.

Yeah, please state and spell your name for the record.

Give us your address and um we can go ahead and make your comments.

Oh, okay.

Well, my name is Ron Sheeta.

Uh, my last name is her H-U-R-T.

Um, R-A-W N S-H-E-T-A.

My dad named me.

Um I was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Um, November 10, 1990.

Unfortunately, here in Las Vegas, it'd be currently, you know, our current but uh pretty much been on my birthdays in jail out here.

I don't know, but it's kind of a tradition for me being from Las Vegas and I accent like, why are you always messing with people from Las Vegas?

And you know, you're like, no, they just like pick on us or something like that.

Probably guys we went to school with are total losers, but yeah.

But I was incarcerated for my birthday, and now I'm 35.

Ma'am, did you have comments on this project?

Yeah, okay.

So, you know, I was just I was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada, so we've been around that all of our lives.

Um fireworks, every UCV occur every day most of the time all the time.

People used to have meetups and like family projects there and car shows, and um I have my first um uh performing artist event.

So I've done music for 25 years now.

And uh write poetry books and things like that.

So it published online too.

My artist name is uh Ronnie Brands, you know, Google it, whatever.

I have music videos and I publish my book on um Amazon, Kindle is up on sale for Walmart and Amazon right now.

But being born and raised in Las Vegas, you know, Nevada, that we really don't have any art centers for certain people, like uh doesn't matter with ethnicity, just like just public speaking hearing to um support driving artists.

So being born and raised out here for 15 years, I've been um, you know, doing my own um music production and and things like that because I want to uh do the arts for uh all the talented is millions of talented artists out here.

Okay.

Ma'am, did you have were your did you have any comments on the project specifically?

Cashman field center, yeah.

I'll give you about 30 more seconds.

No problem.

I I performed there when I was 21 years old, and my mom was she took me there and as my biggest fan, and she told me if I was gonna mess up and she was gonna mess me up.

So that was my first um music performance there, and I I killed it and I nailed it, and um people came up to me and Sneak Dog and stuff.

A lot of people is like keep doing that, and that was 15 years ago.

So if the cashman center was gonna be something for us, you know.

Yeah, shouldn't ma'am.

Are you in support or denial of this project?

Um in denial, you know.

We need more support out here for struggling artists and buildings is ours.

Okay.

All right.

Thank you so much for coming down and sharing your thoughts with us.

Um call the applicant back up.

Just want to give you a chance to respond.

Uh I appreciate the comments.

I think she's right.

There's so much history on both of these properties, and the goal really is to not take it away, but preserve some of the sentiment of all of the history of this area, and you know, like I said, make it a catalyst into something new and hopefully have more people living downtown that creates more synergy and the arts district, all the things you've seen that have happened downtown with some of those other districts.

Hopefully will happen here as well.

Okay, thank you so much.

Okay, um, with that, I will pass it back to uh the commission.

Does anybody other than Commissioner Munford have any comments or questions on that?

Commissioner DeSalvio.

Thank you, madam chair.

Do you I totally dig the idea of doing what you guys are doing to that area because I mean it's it's well needed, like you said, affordable housing or obtainable housing is definitely will hopefully uplift that area.

The only thing that kind of throws me off is I would have liked to have seen a little bit more open space, like a park area, just because I feel that that area is missing that is missing that park element, especially now that Cashman Field will be going away.

Uh I just think that that would have been a great obeyance to that development.

But other than that, it's definitely needed, and I definitely support it.

Anyone else?

Okay.

I'm just gonna echo that it is uh a project that I think is gonna be good for the area.

It does make me a little maudlin because I spent so much time doing state policy work in Grant Sawyer, but um I think that the the area really needs this kind of a boost, and I appreciate your willingness to put in rolled curbs.

I appreciate your willingness to put in some more landscaping.

Um thank you for the work and thank you for bringing four purchase products to the urban core so that people have that opportunity.

Um Commissioner Munford, Madam Chair.

Yeah, I'm uh pretty much in agreement.

You know, this will be a good great project project.

Um, a lot of these new developments, they don't have enough guest parking.

I think you know, these this both of these sites will have good uh get nice guest park guest parking.

Um also I like the idea for that area that this the this property will be gated.

Is it gonna be electronic gating or is it gonna be with security or it'll be electronic games electronic gating, okay.

And then um uh I like the like the density.

I like I like the uh for the Cashman Center that the density is gonna be a little higher, but instead of Condo United one with town homes and um and single family and uh the the I've stated this before the the commercial space that's on the west end.

I'd really like to see um you know, hopefully we could get some kind of grocery store or something for that area.

It's kind of it's kind of a food desert as it is right now, and with all those people coming in, um, you know, we we talked about it, you know, that it's it's uh quite a ways to go grocery shopping, especially for all the people in there.

Um, you know, we we talked about it, you know, that it's it's uh quite a ways to go grocery shopping, especially for all the people in there.

So hopefully we you know the might be able to find a uh a uh commercial developer that that has a relationship with a uh major anchor grocery store or even us, you know, one of the smaller grocery stores uh operations that have been popping up in the city lately.
