Good morning.

This is the recommending committee for May 4th, 2026.

We officially called the order, and we am assuming we're in compliance with the open meeting law.

Yes, we are.

Thank you very much.

Item number three is public comment.

Comment during this portion of the agenda must be limited to matters on the agenda for action.

If you wish to be heard, please come forward now.

Hearing and seeing none, we'll close the public comment period.

Item number four is for possible action to approve the final minutes by reference of the April 13th, 2026 recommending committee meeting.

I entertain a motion.

And post.

And those are passed.

Moving on to we're actually gonna go out of order if that's okay.

We're gonna trail items five and six and move on to item number seven, which is bill number twenty twenty-six-16.

For possible action authorizes multifamily and mixed use development that includes a residential component as a conditional use on property zone for commercial use in accordance with state law proposed by Seth D.

Floyd, executive director of community development.

And I will turn it over to Mr.

Lewinstein.

Thank you, Chairman Peter Lundstein for the record.

Uh in 2025, the Nevada legislated adopt AB Assembly Bill 241, which requires local governments to adopt an ordinance authorizing multifamily housing development or mixed use development that includes a residential component on property zone for commercial use.

As such, Title 1912.010's land use table will be amended to conditionally permit mixed use development in the POO CDC one C2 and CPB zones, as well as permit multifamily residential within the CPE zoning district as a conditional use.

The definition of mixed use has also been updated to allow for horizontal blending of uses across the site to provide more flexibility for developers to create mixed use projects that deviate from the traditional ground floor commercial upper floor residential model of mixed use development.

The City of Las Vegas 2050 master plan defines mixed use in a similar way without restricting development to vertical integration.

Staff therefore recommends uh requests your recommendation of approval.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

This is a public hearing for anybody who would like to comment.

Hearing and seeing none, I'll close the public comment period.

Are any questions up here?

I would say this this puts us in line with what the state uh expects.

Um, and I wish I understood what you said, but I I don't.

Sure thing.

Yes, it puts us in line with the the assembly bill that was passed in the past legislative cycle.

Um we already do have provisions that allow for mixed use and residential and commercial zoning districts.

So this just tightens it up just so slightly.

We've already been in conformance with it.

Thank you very much.

I appreciate it.

And Mr.

Chairman said the floor for the record.

It might help also to have a a a little history of how this bill got there.

So the the idea was that in an effort to open up more land for residential development.

Uh the request from the sponsor of the bill was originally to uh have all jurisdictions allow as a matter of right residential in all commercial zones.

As uh Peter just mentioned, we already had a version of that.

This is just to line up our code with the language from the bill.

So the idea is allowing residential in more places.

Perfect, thank you.

I will entertain a motion.

So moved.

There's a motion, please vote.

And the item passes and will be up for adoption on the May 20th, 2026 City Council meeting.

Moving on to item number eight for possible action amends.

This is bill number 2026-17 for possible action amends LVMC 19.17 and 19.18 to revise the term affordable housing to attainable housing.

Update attainable housing tier descriptions in accordance with state law and revise criteria related to attainable housing bonuses and incentives.

And this is proposed by Seth T.

Floyd, Executive Director of Community Development.

Mr.

Lowenstein.

Thank you, Mr.

Chairman.

Peter Lonstein, once again for the record.

This bill amends the Las Vegas municipal code 19.17 and 19.18 to revise the term, as you said, from affordable housing to attainable housing throughout those chapters, and we'll update attainable housing tier description to conform to assembly assembly bill 540, which was adopted by the Nevada legislature in 2025.

This bill will also amend bonuses and incentives within the Las Vegas municipal code 1917 for the development of attainable housing to be in compliance with the Assembly Bill 540 and will clarify certain procedural aspects of the reimbursement of fees or taxes for attainable housing projects.

Staff therefore requests your recommendation of approval.

Thank you.
