These comments, the Board can't act on them or question and answer any of those comments, but you're more than welcome to put anything you want to on record. All right, seeing no one coming down for public comments, I'm gonna close that section and we'll get the meeting started. Go ahead, staff.

The next item on the agenda is approval of the agenda with any additions, holds, or deletions. At this time, we have the following requests.

If there are no requests by the Planning Commission or any members of the public, the agenda is ready for your approval.

Thank you. So we're about to approve the agenda. For those in the audience, please note that item 21 is being held to be heard and looked at a different date. So it will not be heard tonight. Having said that, I'm willing to entertain a motion for approval of the agenda.

If there are no objections, the public hearing is now open and the routine action portion of the agenda stands ready for approval.

All right. Thank you very much. Before I recognize you. All right. So at this time, this is a part of our meeting where we're going to approve the routine action items. So if you are in disagreement or if you are in disagreement with the item itself or staff's recommendations for approval of the routine items, Now's the time to come down and have one of those items removed and to be heard separately. And so we're about to approve items four through 17 in one vote. So now's the time to come pull something off of the routine action items if you'd like to do so. Is it 18? I'm sorry, four through 18. Okay, yeah, four through 18. So name and address for the record and which item would you like to hear?

Good evening, Lucy Stewart, 1930 Village Center Circle. I'm representing item 14, 15, 16, and 17. We actually have no concerns about 14 and 15, but 16 and 17 have a condition we're concerned, but I don't know if you want us to pull, because they're all related, if you want us to pull all of them off and discuss them.

Yeah, I think we should keep it all uniform, so we'll pull 14 through 17 off. Thank you. Thank you very much.

All right, so seeing no one else, I'll entertain a motion for approval of routine action items.

We're gonna hear 14 through 17, or 18.

Motion to approve items four through 18, holding items 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18.

No, just 17. 17. All right, there's a motion on the floor.

Mr. Chair, just to clarify, the motions that hold, we're just going to hear those separately.

Oh, I apologize. No, we actually are hearing 14, 16, 14, 15, 16, and 17 in its order. Thank you.

Okay, motion to approve routine action items 4 through 18, hearing items 14, 15, 16, and 17 separately.

All right, amended motion on the floor. Cast your vote. Thank you very much, that motion carries. Next item.

For items four through 10, this is final action unless appealed. Items 11 through 13 will be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners meeting for final action on September 16th, 2026 at 9 a.m. unless otherwise announced. Next item on the agenda is item 14. These are companion items, so I'll read through them all first. Item 14. It's a plan amendment to redesignate the existing lineage category from business employment to outlying neighborhood on 1.28.1 acres, generally located west of Moapa Valley and south of Wildlife Road alignment within Moapa Valley. Item 15. Zone changes for the following. One, reclassify one acre from RS40, residential single family 40 zone, to an RS80, residential single family 80 zone. And two, reclassify 50.03 acres from IL, industrial light zone, to RS80, residential single family 80 zone on a portion of a 128.1 acre site. generally located west of Moapa Valley Boulevard and south of Wildlife Road, alignment within Moapa Valley. Item 16, vacate and abandon a portion of right-of-way, being an unnamed street located between Moapa Valley Boulevard and Saddle Street alignment within Moapa Valley. Descript... Sorry. And then item 17, is a use permit for mining and extraction, waivers of development standards for the following. One, reduce gross lot size. Two, reduce net lot size. Three, increase building height. Four, eliminate parking lot landscaping. Five, eliminate buffering and screening. And six, allow outdoor storage adjacent to residential uses. A design review for existing mining and extraction facility with all ancillary structures. and uses on a portion of 128.1 acres in an RS-80 residential single-family 80 zone, generally located southwest of Maupo Valley Boulevard and north and south of Simplot Road within Maui Valley.

thank you staff so uh... we we understand that you know these are on consent and you have a couple items couple issues with staff recommendations so just give us the cliff notes and then we'll deal with the two items you have issues on happy to do so lucy stuart nineteen thirty village center circle uh... representing the applicant uh... this is

This request is for the Simplot Mine, which is out in Moapa Valley and has been out there for almost 100 years. Actually, the mine is further outlying from this area, and this is the area where they actually process the silica. They load it onto train cars, and then there's a railroad spur that they load it onto, and it gets transported elsewhere. And this all started when they went in for a temporary building, which is like a membrane building, because when the wind blows, and as you know, in Southern Nevada, the wind blows quite a bit, the silica would blow all over, and we weren't being very good neighbors. So it would blow onto the neighboring property. So we went in and requested the membrane buildings, and then that sort of opened a whole can of worms. It turns out that the... Again, the mine's been out there and the property's been owned by Simplot since 1928, so almost 98 years, almost 100 years. But as people have decided they wanted to move out or sell their homes or relocate, they came to the mine and asked them if they'd like to purchase it, so they did. So they've accumulated property around them, but they didn't go back and get a use permit. And again, the mine's been out there since before zoning even existed in Clark County. So when we went to get the permits for the buildings, the fire department authorized us to have a temporary building, but in order for us to have permanent, we have to have permanent zoning. And so we thought it would be best if we master-planned it all for residential because in most of Clark County, most of the mines are actually in what used to be the RU zone. It's now the RS-80. So we're master-planning at RS-80 with a use permit for the mine. Really what we have our concern is about is on agenda item 16 and 17, and that's where staff has asked us for a drainage study. We're not changing anything, we're not adding anything, we're not grading anything. And so for us to do the drainage study, which would take quite a few months, one either to prepare and then get approved, that holds us up and fire department will extend our temporary permits these structures on the site to keep the silica from blowing on our neighbors and away from our site. So we're happy to any condition that in the future if we do any major construction or any building, and I don't know how you would word that, but we happy if we're gonna actually build something, change something, grade something, do something different, then we'll be happy to do a drainage study. But we just, we can't get our permanent permit on the site without, with the drainage study condition. So with that, we ask for approval. Sands, that condition.

Thank you very much. So I'm going to take this time to open this application up for a public hearing. Anyone in the audience like to come down and speak on this item? Now's the time to do so. All right, seeing no one coming down, we're going to close the public hearing. And I'll open up to commissioners for any questions or comments about the applicant's request. All right. Commissioner Stone, I think you're the only one who has light on.

Okay. Public Works, the drainage condition comes in on the vacation 16 and the use permit 17 or just the use permit?

For the vacation and the use permit, Commissioner.

Okay, so what we'll do is let's knock out the plan amendment and the zone change separately, and then we'll circle back to those two items, staff, if that'll work for you. With that, let me make a motion to approve PA26-70029 with staff if approved conditions. All right, motion on the floor, cast your vote. That motion passes. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Now I'll make a motion to approve item 15, ZC-26-0377, the zone change with staff if approved conditions. All right, motion on the floor. Cast your vote. Motion passes. OK. Item 16, the vacation abandonment. I'm OK with the vacation abandonment with every condition except for the drainage study. And I'll discuss that now for the board. So I'm going to ask the applicant. So this is a mine. This is for storage of mining materials, in this case, silica sand. And you want to leave every structure in place which are really not structures. Maybe if you could just flash some of those photos I saw earlier about what is on the site.

Okay, and overhead, this is what started it all, whatever the temporary membrane structures to keep the silica.

Right, we'll end with that. So just show us the site right now.

The site is, this is the equipment where they, This is not really in my wheelhouse, but this is apparently where they bring the silica to the site and then they load it and they transfer it over to train cars and then it's taken off. And I don't know the year that these were out there, but they've been out there for quite a few years. So we're not grading, changing anything, not adding any new equipment. The only thing that is new is the temporary structures. And then there's, you know, there's some houses that were there that were acquired. And then there's like some warehouse. This is like their main office. We had a neighborhood meeting in the area and that's where we had it in the main structure, in the main office. But for the most part, it's really just mining equipment.

Okay. So go back to that arched structure you guys are proposing. So this structure here is a glorified Rain fly to protect the courts silica sand that you've piled up correct. there's it would appear to me that there's no finished floor elevation defined by concrete, as would normally be. expected in a habitable structure with doors and windows which is typically what we are looking for on a drainage study to elevate finished floor to protect life safety of people that uh either are working in it or living in it in this case this is again a glorified tent over a pile of sand um so you know uh this vacation and then the subsequent use permit i don't see a need for a drainage study right now i would i would probably add a condition that in the future anything of habitable building with the finished floor uh that the whole site be evaluated with the drainage study but right now um i don't see it near Any regional flood control master plan facility or even a regional facility? So, Mr. Chairman, I'll hold off if there's any other questions, but I'm ready to make a motion.

And if I might add, we still have to go to the county commission in about a month, and we're happy to work with staff and see if we can address what their concerns are with regard to the drainage.

Thank you. Thank you, Commissioner Stone. I don't have any questions, and I don't think the rest of the board does either, so you can go ahead.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move to approve item 16, Vacation VS-26-0376, with staff, if approved conditions, accept the requirement for a drainage study with the understanding that a full master drainage study may be required in the future when they build a habitable building with a concrete finished floor.

And we agree to that.

That's my motion. All right, motion on the floor, cast your vote. That motion passes.

Thank you very much.

We have one more to go, right, 17? Correct. Mr. Chairman, am I okay to make a motion?

Yes, yes, please.

Thank you. Mr. Chairman, I'll move to approve UC-26-0378 with staff if approved conditions, accepting the requirement for the drainage study with the justification and comments I made on the last item.

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

Missing someone?

All right, there we go. That passes. Good luck.

Thank you very much. Have a nice evening. Items 14 through 17 will be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners. Meeting for final action on September 16th, 2026 at 9 a.m. unless otherwise announced. Next item on the agenda is item 19. SDR 260407, sign design reviews for the following. One, increase the area of electronic message unit, static sign, and two, increase the number of freestanding signs in conjunction with an existing shopping center on 25.59 acres in a CG commercial general zone generally located south of Silverado Ranch Boulevard and west of Eastern Avenue within Enterprise.

Good evening, Lexa Green, 1980 Festival Plaza Drive, here on behalf of the applicant, who is Silverado Ranch Plaza. This application is a request for a sign design review. The subject site is over 25 acres. We're located on the southwest corner of Silverado Ranch to the north, and then we have Eastern Avenue to the east. The site is Master Plan CM with a zoning designation of CG. We are proposing a freestanding sign in this northeast corner of the site. Currently existing on the site is a pylon sign that is at the eastern entrance. Currently sits back 123 feet from eastern, so you lack visibility of that sign when you're driving down eastern. If you can see here, it kind of gets lost in the traffic and landscaping and also the other buildings. You can't really make out what those tenants are. So with that, we are proposing and requesting a second freestanding sign. It will consist of an LED screen that will be an addition to this existing Silverado Ranch portion at the bottom for a total of 310 square feet. It'll be static, so it'll be a certain time limit for each portion. display and it'll rotate and it's strategically angled towards the center of that intersection to not impact their residential neighbors around there so in addition to there is a automatic dimmer so it'll dim in the evening times and just based on weather conditions it'll also factor in that natural lighting as well so based on that i thank you all for your time and consideration and i'm here to answer any questions you may have

All right, thank you very much. All right, so we're going to open this application up for a public hearing. Now's the time. Does anyone in the audience like to speak on this item? Now's the time to come down and do so. I see no one coming down. We're going to close the public hearing, and I open it up for questions, comments from the commission. All right, seeing none, I'm okay with the application, but I'll defer to anybody else. Go ahead, Commissioner Workman.

I'm OK with it. I just want to make sure that that automatic dimmer is a part of the remains. I don't know if condition's the right thing, but would that be something we need to add there? Or is that just part of the plan for staff, probably?

It's not included with the conditions. I mean it would have to be typically seen at the building permit stage Okay, can we add it as a condition?

Yeah, okay, so I'll move to approve item SDR two six zero four zero seven with the condition that it has the proposed automatic dimmer All right.

There's a motion on the floor cash a vote.

I

Motion passes. Good luck.

Thank you, Commissioner Reutemann. Thank you, Commissioner.

This is final action unless appealed. Item 20, UC 260375, a use permit to allow outdoor storage and display, waiver development standards to modify residential adjacency standards, design review for modifications to an existing site, to accommodate a proposed outdoor storage and display facility on a 1.34-acre portion of 5.96 acres in a CG commercial general zone, generally located west of Boulder Highway and south of Tropicana within Whitney.

Thank you. Name and address for the record. Tell us about your application. Yes.

Good evening. Erin Ben-Samakan for the applicant, 5600 Boulder Highway. Okay. So this property is at 5660 Boulder Highway. Our owner, Mr. Brennan, has owned the property since the 70s. It used to be a bait and tackle store and a bar. About five years ago, we did close the building down due to safety concerns and liability concerns. We have been looking for alternate uses for the property in the last five years. The adjacent property, Sportsman's Royal Manor, is also commonly owned by us and managed, and we have very proudly made it a very quiet, safe area of Chop and Boulder, trying to keep it that way. So we've been looking for alternate uses. A few years ago, we came in looking to put storage units and that was approved at the town board level. But due to construction costs and the over absorption of storage units in the area, we decided to hold off on that. So this brings us to this evening. We are looking at a business that we have entered into a franchise contract. It's called Cool Bins. It is not in Las Vegas. We would be bringing the entire valley or we would own the entire region. and they are portable, I'll show you a picture, portable storage units, kind of like a pod, but they have AC units. So this is the map of the area. The office would be at the building, so we'd have the office at 5660 Boulder, and we are asking for an outdoor storage and display so that we can display the units inside the fence, but along Boulder Highway, They're vinyl wrapped. They're really nice. They're brand new. And basically, they would be out for rent in the valley. So they would only be on the site when they're not rented unless customers want to store them there. But our goal is to have them out for rent. So our goal is not to have them on the site. We do have room, though, if they want to store them. We do also feel that our tenants at the adjacent property could use them as well. So we are just trying to find a business that has low impact, low crime, Monday through Friday, eight to five. We're trying to use all the existing improvements that are there. So that is why we're asking for the fence to stay. We have a very expensive wrought iron fence that is not screened currently that we'd like to use. The building, we have been gutting to renovate it. We'll put new signage. We want it to look nice because we also own the property next door, so we're not trying to make it not look nice. We have 24-hour security on site that would also be checking out the property at night, and our staff would be managing it as well. So I'm here for any questions.

Thank you very much. I'm going to open this application up for a public hearing. Now is the time to come down and speak on it if there's any comments from the public. Seeing no one coming down, we're going to close the public hearing and open it up to commissioners for questions, comments. Go ahead, Commissioner.

I have a couple of questions. So you said that the pots are going to go out. Are you ever going to keep them there? So is it a parking lot now, kind of?

Is it open space? Yes, I have a couple of photos here. You can see it's a very large parking area. and I can also show you the...

So if I want to get one, but I don't want to take it to my house, are people going to be able to leave it there and store their things there?

Yes, ma'am. Is it going to be a different price whether I want to deliver at my house or I want to keep it there? It's the same business model as a pod. I'm sure you guys have heard of a pod. So if you're moving, we can deliver the pod to your driveway. You fill it in, you fill it up, and then we would deliver it to your new home. But if you're not ready to move yet, we would store it for you.

And how long will you store it for?

There's no maximum or minimum time.

So I can order one, fill it up, and tell you to come and pick it up, and then you're going to charge me to keep it there? Yes, ma'am. Correct. So there's kind of two uses to the model. One, renting the pods, and that's that. And then there's also the pod and the... Property. Yes, ma'am. Yes. Okay. My other question is, you said a wrought iron fence. Do you have a photo of that? Yes.

Let me find that here. You can kind of see a part of it right here. The fence is completely all along Boulder Highway right now and Tropicana. It goes around the entire Sportsman's and... it goes all the way down boulder it's already been there and it was very expensive so we're trying to keep it and it looks really nice we think so we keep it up we paint it we keep it nice so that's why it does not have any screening that's why we're asking for a waiver on that

So your fence, it's not just part of that cool bins, but it's along your other businesses, you said, right?

Yes, it's completely fenced in, but this property also is fenced in. You can kind of see here, there's a front gate. There's also a fence to block it from our apartments, so it is its own section.

So it's kind of uniform throughout your businesses?

Yes, ma'am.

Thank you.

Thank you, Commissioner Mohica. Commissioner Kolarski? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Just so I'm clear, this is kind of like a mini-warehouse. except they're individual. Am I correct? It's not like in a building where you have overhead doors that go up and down and you can put your stuff in?

Right. These are completely individual. Here I have a picture of them. They have a couple different units. I just was talking more about the... There's also a freezer unit. There's a concession stand unit. There's a flex unit, like for a construction site. So there's four different types, but the majority will be the pod type of unit with an AC for residential.

Okay, so you have other models that it can be utilized for? Yes, ma'am.

Okay.

So that's why we're asking for outdoor storage and display. We're going to display one of each. on Boulder Highway inside of our fence, and then if customers want to store them, they'll be stored there. Our goal is to have them out in the valley and not stored, but just in case we need both uses.

So they can always be seen from the street then?

Yes.

Okay, I'm not certain I like that part. I think we should have some sort of screening because then it looks, I don't know. That's my concern is that they're not screened. And I don't want them to look like a lot of pods like you see in people's driveways. And I don't know if that's the look we're gonna have when we're trying to revitalize and beautify Boulder Highway. So I don't know if that's the right way to go.

I will say our frontage has artificial turf and the wrought iron fence. We're only putting one of each type off of the fence. The rest will be set back.

But you'll be able to see them from the street.

when you're driving down Boulder Highway. So that is pretty quick, too, that people drive really fast down Boulder Highway.

I know, but I drive Boulder Highway quite a bit, and I see a lot of the stuff down there.

I think we also think they look really nice. They're brand-new, vinyl-wrapped. Okay.

They're nice. That part just kind of concerns me. That's all. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Commissioner Kolarski.

Commissioner Roikman and then Commissioner Kirk.

I'm pretty okay with this. I hate to say it, but my concern is that people are going to try to live in these things, and they're air conditioned and climate controlled. And so although I am sympathetic to the idea that maybe it's not going to look so nice, or some people might not think that it looks nice, these pods, that putting a big wall around them may make securing having security there and making sure people aren't jumping the fence and living in there and trying to do stuff. We were talking about this with that compound we saw, whatever, last week or two weeks ago. So I would say I would be a little bit concerned about the security here and would really want, like you said, there was going to be 24-hour monitoring, like cameras, daytime hours, on-site security, like making sure that people aren't, you know, putting any people in these things, quite frankly. I know that sounds grim, but yeah.

We do have over 60 cameras on the site. The site right now with our apartments is 20 buildings. We do have over 60 cameras. We have 24-hour security, usually more than two guards roaming in a golf cart. They're going to be responsible for this site as well, because these are really expensive, so we don't want people stealing them or living in them. But like I said, our management has really learned what, you know, on Boulder Highway, how to navigate these things. We do have a lot of lighting on the site and in the area.

And maybe not just visual cameras, but audio cameras. So if someone's inside of one of those things and they're banging on it, I mean, I don't know. I don't know what people do on regular storage units. Maybe that doesn't get required, but those are my thoughts.

Thank you, Commissioner Koerken. Commissioner Kirk.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I've had the opportunity to meet with the applicant, and she explained a lot of that during our briefing. And I think I don't have a problem with it as long as the applicant is open to a two-year review. So that means that in two years after you get your permits to get going, that you'll come back before us so we can have a chance See what the neighbors have to say about your operation and see what kind of issues there have been if there have been anybody living in them There's been a lapse in security Those kind of things we'd need to review that so with that I will if long as you're okay with the to your review

I believe two years is better than none, so yes.

Good, then with that, then I'll move to approve UC260375 with the staff's, if approved conditions, and with the two-year review.

Thank you, Commissioner Kirk. On the motion on the floor, cast your vote.

Sorry, Mr. Chair, if I could clarify before you do. I just want to clarify, we'll do two years from the issuance of the business license?

Yeah, I mean, how long would that take? What's a typical time for them to get a business license?

Well, it's going to be after they're done with whatever permits they need, so the fencing and all that.

Yeah, that's a good point. Let's do that after the business license is issued. That'll give them a good full two years of operation. Thank you.

All right, very good. So the motion on the floor, cast your vote.

The motion passes, good luck.

Thank you. Thank you.

This is final action, unless appealed. Next item on the agenda is item 22, WS260353, waivers of development standards for the following. One, eliminate setbacks, and two, eliminate building separation for an existing carport in conjunction with an existing single family residence on 0.26 acres in an RS-10, residential single family 10 zone, generally located north of Rocklight Avenue and east of Vermeer Street within Sunrise Manor.

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

Edgar Leon, L.R. Nelson Consulting Engineers, 6765 West Russell Road.

Good evening. Miguel Sanchez, 6142 Rock Lake Avenue, homeowner.

The homeowner engaged the services of a contractor to construct a carport It's our understanding that a neighbor nearby wanted to construct a similar shade structure and they may have started investigating the requirements. It's also our understanding that this may have somehow sparked a notice to the homeowner. As such, like the term says, buyer beware was emphasized in this case as the homeowner believed that all the permitting would be taken care of by the contractor. We are here to request the waivers mentioned, which are mainly setback requirements, setback waivers, and we recognize that if approved, there will be more requirements to address. As an example, we've already met with Clark County Fire Department, and they're okay with the carport, but they may likely require a firewall along the side perimeter. and we've already met with Clark County Building Department and they will likely require a structural wet seal review from a structural engineer saying that it's okay or retrofits may be needed to adequately make sure that the structure is sound and safe. And there might be other requirements as well, perhaps additional welds or a weld log. With that said, we're here to write something that we thought was moving in the right direction. But like I mentioned, buyer beware, and we're here to answer any questions you might have.

Thank you very much. All right, so we're going to open this application up for a public hearing. Anyone in the audience like to speak on this item? Now's the time to come down. All right, seeing no one coming down, we're going to close the public hearing. And I'll just say for the record, when you're presenting something, if it looks good to you, it looks good to us. Okay? All right, perfect. So I am going to start with Commissioner Marjica.

Hi. I'm concerned about the water flowing into the neighbors.

We did discuss that with... a few folks from the Clark County Building Department, and they recognize that we do have some clearance between the perimeter wall and the structure, and they're okay. Well, they wanna see how we address it via a rain gutter.

Yeah, I don't see much clearance at all. I don't see how they could be okay with that.

We could show a different picture. Let's see if we have a different rendering. where is the clearance that's even worse this may not do justice but uh there are there is some leeway there and if we need it there there'll be some retrofits to make sure that uh storm water flow does is not conveyed to the neighboring property yeah i wouldn't be able to approve this without knowing that there's a storm drain and that's clear going to bounce off depending on how hard it's going to rain to bounce off into the neighbors

Thank you, Commissioner Hica. Before I turn it over to the commissioners, I'm okay with the application. I know that you're going to have some boxes to check with, like you said, both building department and fire. And they're going to make sure that if you need a gutter, that you will have to install one. if you have to have, like you said, a structural wet seal proving that the structure was actually installed properly. So you have permitting issues you have to get through, and the fire department's not going to let you put something up that's going to be a detriment to your neighbor. I would say that, so I can support the application, but I'll see what other commissioners have to say. Commissioner Brady?

Just really quick, so there's no separation between lot lines at all, right? It goes right up to the lot line and then also to the house, correct? There's and then it actually, it attaches to the wall, or there's poles there, so it doesn't attach, but it butts up, like literally again.

It does butt up, but it is freestanding. Okay.

That's just what I wanted to confirm. I want to kind of see what they say down there.

Thank you, Commissioner Brady. If no other lights, I'll go to Commissioner Kolarski.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. You're on the end. You say that this is freestanding on the perimeter wall that's adjacent to your neighbor. How far from the wall are your posts?

They're basically butted against the wall. Okay, I need... You might be able to slide a couple sheets of paper, a piece of cardboard between it, but that's about it.

I need about six inches or a foot. I prefer a foot from the wall that it be brought in. If you can do that... and then have gutters going north to south along that wall or along your roof? Is that possible?

I don't see why not. So the original idea was to be able to maximize that space. We do have the AC units right there right beside. Right where? Parking the vehicle. And if we would have brought it back in the required five feet, I believe we wouldn't be able to open up the door. how how wide is from your home to the wall currently right now it's 18 feet it's 18 feet 18 feet but the ac units do protrude quite a bit i'm sorry where's the ac at uh you can't really see it in that picture but it's it's literally right here right next to the house there's two units two pretty big units that was the original idea

I just do not want this abutting the wall, and I want to make sure I have room for the gutters, which is why I was talking a good six inches. Nine inches, if you can give me nine inches, I can split that. Can you bring that in nine inches, do you think?

I think we can manage.

Commissioner Kolarski, I would just offer that, you know, if you have a requirement for the post to come off the wall, that maybe you allow the applicant to have some leeway because I don't know what type of engineering he may have to do, but the building department can manage that.

Okay. So let's just say that, how would I word that then, staff? Because we have a good GC here.

So if you want to just have it so that you have gutters that are on their side of the property, then with that condition, they'll have to work everything out to somehow provide those gutters.

Okay. Then I'm going to require you to have gutters on the side that's adjacent to the wall. And I want to ensure that those posts are not attached to the perimeter wall. Okay. So there's none of that. Understood. Okay. And that would be my motion.

All right. All right. Great motion. Motion on the floor. Cast your vote. Motion passes. Good luck. Thank you.

Thank you. This is final action unless appealed. Next item on the agenda is item 24, WS260390. Waivers have developed standards for the following. One, eliminate and reduce setbacks. And two, reduce building separation for existing accessory structures in conjunction with an existing single family residence on zero 0.49 acres in an RS 20 residential single-family 20 zone within a different protection overlay generally located west of Westwood Road and north of Edna Avenue within Spring Valley Thank You staff name name and address for the record and tell us about your application

Hello. Good evening, guys. My name is Jim Barton. I live at 5680 Edna. This is my wife, Bridget. We're asking for a few waivers on some setbacks on a carport.

Mr. Chair, if I could, I don't mean to interrupt the applicant. We accidentally skipped number 23. We're okay to, I just want to make sure the applicant for number 23 doesn't leave. If you want to hear 24, we can do that. That's the one that Rich just read.

We accidentally skipped 23, and I apologize. I didn't catch that. So, no, we're going to hear yours. It was read into the record. We'll go ahead and hear 24. Applicant for 23, you're next.

I'm sorry. I'm kind of new at this. I've never done this before. I'm not sure... What questions?

You're fine. Just tell us. We're people just like you. Just tell us about your application.

Okay. So we had this RV port constructed. Okay. There's the full picture of it. And we're asking for some waivers off of the fence. And there's also a tough shed in the back, as you can see, for a waiver for that. This is approximately a foot off the fence. As you can see, there's the wall with the uprights. They're not attached. As far as drainage, the drainage comes into my property as far as coming off the fence. So kind of got a little tutorial there.

just shy of five feet off of our house. Yeah.

Which I don't know if I have that picture.

We have started with the building department.

but they put a pause on it until we went through this process. I didn't realize we had to do this process. So there was a permit in process and we were working through that. So I just want to let you guys know that.

Not a problem. All right. All right. So let's open up application up for a public hearing. Anyone in the audience want to speak on this item? All right. Seeing no one, we're going to close the public hearing and I'll open up to commissioners for comments, questions. Commissioner Kirk.

Mr. Chairman, thank you. I see your neighbor has a similar structure. Is that right?

Yes, sir.

Did they get a permit? Do you know?

He's in the same boat I am. He just hasn't got to this yet.

I mean, they look really nice, but I just want to make sure.

Thank you.

All right. Any other comments? Go ahead, Commissioner Rickman.

So I assume your immediate neighbor to the, I don't know, the one who's in the same boat as you are. I believe 5690. Yeah, doesn't have a problem with this. Have you spoke with any of your other neighbors?

I do. I have some signed letters from the folks in the neighborhood there. Okay.

What about your direct neighbor, the other one? Correct. The other direct neighbor who is not also violating the code or whatever, are they okay with this? Yes, the whole cul-de-sac.

We're just on a small cul-de-sac. Yeah, I'm looking at it. Yeah, it's okay.

Okay, I'm okay with this. All right. I would say turn those letters into staff if they don't already have them. Okay. I would also say you might want to give your neighbor a heads up that he should get letters from you guys. He's out of town right now on a treatment, so, yes, he's aware of the process. All right. All right. So go ahead, Commissioner Kolarski.

You may want to just get with your neighbor and hold his hand when he has to come down here because by that time you'll be old bros.

Okay. Do you want to make a motion? No problem. Thank you.

Okay. All right. Go ahead. Ask the only neighbor on the block who doesn't have one of these yet. Ask him to apply for the permit before he puts it up.

Noted.

Okay. I don't see any gutters.

Negative. There's no gutters on it.

But the edge of the canopy, if you will, it's actually on our side because we have a foot offset. On the left? It drains into my property. Yeah, any rain. His rain drains into his property, my rain drains into, or water drains into my property. If that's the question, I'm sorry.

So on the left, the part that's on the left next to your neighbor, that's a foot away?

Yes, ma'am.

From the fence, the actual fence.

Okay, no, so that's... Go back to the previous photo. So the neighbor's on the right?

Yes. As I look at the house, he's on my left. This is my front gate.

This is his property over here.

This is from looking back to our front.

Yeah, to the front. Looking south. Looking south. This picture right now is looking south, down the driveway.

The RV I'm looking at is your neighbor?

No, this is my RV. This is my RV. And this is in my backyard looking down the driveway. Into our front yard.

I want to see your neighbor.

You want to see my neighbor's aspect? Yes. I don't have a picture of that.

Well, this one kind of... Here's his.

That's what I'm saying. So this left... If I'm looking at your RV, I'm talking about the left side, isn't that flowing into the neighbors?

No. No.

So... Do you still have to go through permitting you said pardon me? Yeah, because I would like So how do I word is I would like to see a gutter there if necessary if after permitting they decided need a gutter. I

Yes, when we go to the building department. Is that what you're saying?

So do you want me to add it as a condition or?

No, we're working through that process right now.

I'm talking to staff.

Yes, you could add that as a condition similar to the last item that we had.

OK, I can make a motion to. approve item WS260390 with the condition that a gutter be added if permitting decides one is needed.

Thank you very much. There's a motion on the floor. Cast your vote. Motion passes.

Good luck. Thank you. Thank you for your time.

This is final action, unless appealed. Okay, returning to item 23, WS260386, waivers of development standards for the following. One, reduce setbacks, and two, reduce building separation for an existing and proposed structures in conjunction with an existing single family residence on 0.12 acres, and an RS 5.2 residential single-family 5.2 zone, generally located east of Everglades Street and south of Tahoe Drive within Sunrise Manor.

Thank you very much. Welcome. Name and address for the record, and tell us about your application.

My name is Jose Alvarez, and she's Laura Alvarez, the owner. We are located in 2828 Everglades Street. The reason we are here is we just try to get approval. We're in the same boat as the other people that just left. I'm not good explaining everything, but I'm just trying my best to get to your knowledge, and you guys can ask questions if you have any.

We definitely understand the application. If you put your displays up there, whatever you put up there, if it looks good to you, it looks good to us, and then we'll work through the application.

Okay.

All right, so grab the handheld mic or there you go, perfect.

this actually is our home right here it's a mobile home that's already set on the ground and so it's not movable it's already placed as a home what we try here to do is we just have a shed up here though it's too small and it's just bothering us on the driveway because we want this space open for our our dogs and our backyard clear so that's why we um ask you guys for um the physical For you guys' approval, we had an existing shed that I'm building. I have some couple pictures. It's not finished yet because we received the notice from the public words that we don't have permit to do it until, well, we are new and owning a home, but just like... It's not finished. This is one of the pictures that I have right here. It's not completely finished. We're still working on it. We stopped the building on that moment when we received that letter. The shed is not finished yet. I try to see if I get a good picture of that here. This is more like the spacing is sitting in there. These are the measurements that I had. Sorry for the stuff that is there. It is the time that I have to send the picture. It wasn't the great time to send it. We are not planning to attach to the house because we want some clearance for exiting-wise. In case of emergency, we have a path to follow so we can exit out of the house. in both directions. As you can see on this one, this is an exit we can go through on the side of the house for both sides. So you can exit this way or you can exit this side. Also, we want to add a patio in the front of the house and a new sunroom on the west side of the building attached to the unit. Let me see if you guys can have this clear picture. This is pretty much how it looks right now. I still have a lot of work to do on the property. I try my best to get all the permits it's required. I try to do nothing after I get the notice that I can add nothing or attach anything to my property until I get approvals from the council. So I'm open for you guys to any questions if you guys have.

All right. Sounds good. Thank you very much. All right. So I'm going to open this application up for a public hearing. Anyone in the audience want to speak on this item? Now's the time to come down. All right. Seeing no one come down, we're going to close the public hearing. And I'll open up to commissioners for questions, comments. Go ahead, Commissioner Roigman.

Can you put both those photos of the shed back? And do you have any other photos of the shed or just those two? I have. Yep. And you have one more?

You can leave them all up there. Yeah, great. There you go. And then the...

Okay, so this right here, the dish, and here on the left side, that's the house, yeah. No, no, no, the other side, the left side. Yeah, that's the house, yeah? Yeah.

Okay.

And then over here on the other one, on the other picture, that white fence, yeah. and this fence on the left side, yeah? That's your neighbor's, that's the fence between you and your neighbor, yeah?

Yes. I spoke with my neighbors and we have a letter from them before we put it on. They signed us an agreement that they are not complaining about it because they also had the shed on the other side and that one is attached pretty close to my property. I don't have Any issues or any concerns about it? We are really good neighbors. We look up each other, so we are always good with the neighbors. And what are you doing? As the same as the one on the back, she signed me another letter.

Did she write a letter? Yeah, yeah. I have the letters. What are you doing in the shed?

Just storage stuff. I have chairs and tables, pretty much. It's nothing, no electrical, no power source, no gas. No one's living there? No, no, no. No, nobody.

This is where you're going to put your climate-controlled storage pod. Just move right in. Okay. It looks a little tight to me, but I'll hear what everyone else has to say.

All right, I'll go Commissioner Brady. Well, Commissioner Clark, I didn't see your light. Oh yeah, okay, Commissioner Brady and then Commissioner Mohica.

You know, there's, and as far as fire, that's what a concern is with here, and right now it could be, dry goods, it could be whatever's stored in there. My concern is what happens when you decide to sell one day and the shed's there and then there's lacquer in there or some type of flammable substance and then all of a sudden we have combustion and then now your place is on fire also.

Yeah, the only reason I built this shed is we have so many chairs and tables that we rented out. So that's why it's the only reason I have that to make that bigger from the other one because it didn't fit. So it's just like pretty much it's just like nothing major than the chairs.

Yeah, I believe that's what it'll be used for now. It's just what's it going to be used for 10 years from now?

Well, we are the owners of the house. We're not planning to sell the house. We're planning on living in there. That's why we are doing improvements to the house so we can keep it in good shape inside.

Yeah. That's just my only concern for everybody here is that we are within a distance. Eventually, everybody sells. There's that mine that we talked about earlier. It's at 98 years. Maybe they'll sell in a little bit, but who knows? All right. Well, thank you. That's my concern. Thank you, Commissioner Brady. Commissioner Mojica?

I have a couple of questions. Number one, the white fence to the left of the photo that I'm looking at? Yes. Perfect. I like the fact that you point it. Yes. That's your neighbor?

That's ours.

That's your trailer?

No, that's the fence. The one on the right side is the house. It's this one right here.

Okay.

This one has this side. Let me show you the big picture so you can have an idea.

Oh, I'm so glad you brought that picture. The little one that you say that it's in the way, the other one, that one, is that coming out?

It's already out.

So you got rid of that?

I removed it completely.

Okay. That was one question. The other question is I agree with Commissioner Brady in regards to the fire and all that, but there's no electrical in there.

You have no... No electrical, no power, no water, nothing, no utilities, nobody's living there. It's just for storage.

Okay, so let's go back to the other photo. My suggestion would be, now, I'm hoping you're going to get rid of all that.

Yeah. That's what we're planning to do. It's just like...

The bicycles and the... Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

Well, keep in mind that those things look like they have... No, they're... Butane tanks.

I mean... Yeah, they don't have propane. Propane, sorry. Nothing is stored inside either. So the propane, it's always... When we need it, we... uh you say from uh someone else we don't we don't storage nothing on the property because our hoa doesn't approve that either do you have a photo of your your unit where you live that's a trailer

Wow, it looks like a house.

Yeah, I don't have an old picture that I can show you. We are working on the house, try to make it the neighbor.

Okay, and I'm glad you said that because the one thing that I would, if this was mine, that I would condition would be that you make it look aesthetically pleasing just like your house. Yeah. That the outside looks just as nice as your house.

Yeah, it is. Oh, inside. I have pictures on my phone, but I cannot show it on my phone, so.

Yeah, if you could please do that. I know this is Commissioner Kularski's, but I would really appreciate it if you make it look nice and match the house. And I can't see how close it is to the neighbor, but as long as your neighbor's okay with it.

Yeah, I have the letters that I sent to them. This is one of mine. That's the one on my right, right on the back of the fence that you saw first. This is one of the letters that I write to them, and they agree with it, and they sign it. That's one, and I have the other one that it's the next. if you saw the houses on your left and the left this is the other lady that signs and it says she's agreed with it she don't have any issues with the visibility or anything that bothers her son sunlight or any other type of events okay thank you thanks thank you commissioner mojica go ahead commissioner kowalski

Okay, we seem to be focused on the one shed. So that one is waivers 1A and 1B, am I correct, staff? So number one is that's to the wall in the back? Or where is the front of the house? Can you point to it? Oh, that's right here. Okay, that's the front of the house. Yes. So your shed, your backyard is, okay, over there, your shed that you're talking about is the one in the northeast corner.

Yes.

And it's adjacent to your neighbor who is at 2820?

2820 and yeah. Can I get the technician to zoom out so we can see that together?

2828 is over here. 2820 and this is the 28 drive on this side.

Okay. So 2820 is?

It's right here.

Okay. Now, we're looking at, the two feet and two feet the rear and the side yes ma'am building has to approve this they have to do your roof they may require you to have some sort of fire rating on this thing so you may have to possibly

We work with Public Works, and they were aware of it, so they already know about it, and then they say it was okay.

So you've already gone to building, and that's kind of when you got caught?

No, no, no. The reason that, because you got court enforcement patrolling the area. I don't know what was the circumstances, and I think it's just like, that's why I'm doing this now.

Okay, well, you have to do it. I'm not that worried about the shed. We've done worse sheds. The only thing that I'm going to do is I'm going to require you to have rain gutters.

Yeah. Where you are adjacent to the wall? How do I say it in the beginning? It's not completely finished yet. I'm still working on it. That's why the construction stopped because I didn't have this permit. So I don't want to put more money into it if it's not going to be approved and I got to tear it down, you know? But essentially everything, as I explained to my neighbors, everything is going to be covered in all the water or debris or whatever falls into that shit. It falls onto my property, not onto theirs. That's what was the agreement with them.

Okay. So I'm going to move to approve WS26-0386 with staff. approved conditions i'm going to leave the bullet number eight um i'm sorry I'm going to move to approve WS26-0386, staff if approved conditions, noting that your shed will have gutters so that the rain waters will be away from your neighbors, that it falls directly onto your property. And you have a year to complete the permit process. Okay, and that's part of the conditions. Now, with that, that's my motion.

Thank you very much. There's a motion on the floor. Cast your vote.

Is this the Dime? Are you in the Dime mobile home park? The Dime?

No.

Okay. No, it was just a question. I know the Dime is around there.

Everyone vote.

It's Winterwood.

All right, thank you very much. All right, that motion passes. Good luck.

Thank you, staff. Name and address for the record and tell us about your applications.

Good evening, Mr. Chairman, Commissioner, Stephanie Gronauer, 1980 Festival Plaza Drive. Here with me is Lexa Green. We've been tag teaming this application this evening. We are here with a very small infill parcel. If I could direct your attention to the overhead. This site is under two acres of property located at the corner of Grand Canyon and Serene Avenue. It's just to the south of Blue Diamond Road. It's a unique parcel because it really is infill. You can see everything around it has pretty much been developed out and is being developed to the south of it. Interestingly, the master plan on the property is corridor mixed use, which is the most intense commercial mixed-use zoning you could have on a piece of property, which really does not fit in the neighborhood. As you can see on this map, it's the one red dot in the entire area. On the corner, there is a Green Valley Grocery, actually, that I represented. This is at Blue Diamond in Grand Canyon, so there is some commercial zoning. on the corner and then up and down Blue Diamond you've got a ton of commercial obviously in this area so huge saturation of commercial in the area and this is just not the appropriate site for it so in looking at the property Summit Homes looked at what would make sense on a small two acre site from a residential standpoint and we're before you tonight with a townhome for sale townhome project Lexa is going to get into the details, but I do want to tell you we appreciate you holding the item at the last planning commission. The reason that we held it was to address some of the comments that came up at town board. There were no neighbors in opposition, but town board did have some good suggestions, so she'll walk through the changes that were made between town board and here, and then we're happy to answer any questions.

Good evening. So yes, as Stephanie said, we did hold this item to address some of the concerns that were brought up. So I do want to talk through some of those. One of the concerns was parking. To help address the parking, we did add two additional parking spaces here. Some additional up here just north of Lot 17, as well as two additional just north of Lot 6. So we're providing a total of 65 parking spaces where 58 are required. Additionally, we are... of meeting and exceeding open space requirements. So code requires 120 square feet per unit. We're providing just about 132 square feet per unit, so a total of 3,434 square feet of open space in addition to connectivity throughout the site. So as you can see, we have sidewalks along the site which then provide access to this open space area which was moved as one of our modifications. It was initially along the west sides of lots 22 through 26. We relocated it here to provide that buffer between those residents to the east. as well as to provide connectivity. This is a very walkable area with the detached sidewalks, so we're providing the detached sidewalks along the perimeter, which then provides safe access to the Blue Diamond Trail that's up to the north as well. So with that, we're also providing, within each of the 26 units, we'll have a minimum rear yard, private rear yard of 10 feet in addition to the open space that we're providing. As you all know, and we've discussed with you on other applications, code does allow a 10-foot driveway, which causes a lot of issues with residents attempting to park in those driveways with the cars hanging out into the streets and blocking the pedestrian access with the sidewalks. So we are coming in with a PUD to request the reduced driveway, which we feel is a benefit, versus the RS-2 and RMS. RM 18 standards that would be permitted here with the 10 foot driveway so Additionally in meeting with Commissioner Commissioner Brady Did request some more greenery so we are adding additional trees So we will be providing 34 trees where a total of 19 are required that's putting us at about 79% over what's required as far as the tree count goes so with that I thank you for your time and consideration and

Just real quick, because we had this discussion just a few weeks ago on the driveways, and I think it's important because Summit Homes, when they were making their revisions, I specifically said, do not come back with 10-foot driveways. The Planning Commission does not want 10-foot driveways. So the only way to do a five-foot driveway is with a PUD. So that's the reason for our PUD application, or one of the reasons for the PUD application. Also, if this were just a straight RM18 application, you wouldn't see those benefits that Lexa just walked through, which is the added parking space. All of these townhomes do have two-car garages, so they will have their own personal garages that they'll be able to park in, but then also 13 additional guest parking spaces. So about one per every two houses they'll have an additional guest parking space, which is not required if we didn't have the PUD and the flexibility to do that. Also, this open space here along Serene is internal to the community, so it is actually usable space. They'll probably put some benches and activate that space a little bit for dog areas or benches. So I did want to point that out because she mentioned the usable open space. But we think that this very much is compatible, more compatible with the area than the commercial mixed use. It would be a really intense use to put on this corner. There's all homes around it, so what can you do on two acres or less than two acres? It's difficult, but we think that this layout is a really positive layout for the neighborhood, for sale products, so it'll help the price points in the area or it won't hurt the price points in the area. We very much appreciate Public Works approving approval on the two of the three waivers. We worked closely with them on that. One of the waivers is impossible. You have to have the waiver to do townhomes in Clark County, so that's the reason for one, but the other two, they do support. We appreciate their support on those applications. So with that said, we're happy to answer any questions and we would ask for your approval.

Thank you very much. All right, so I'm going to open these applications up for a public hearing. Anyone in the audience want to speak on this item? Now's the time to come down. Seeing no one rushing down, we're going to close the public hearing, and I'll turn it over to staff. I'm actually fine with the application, so I appreciate you working with Public Works and our staff to put that in front of us. And I'll start with Commissioner Kolarski.

Thank you. We all know how much I like PUDs. I still don't like them. I think that the only benefit that you have is the five-foot driveways. But I see nothing else as far as benefit to the community. There's no place other than a bench. If you're looking at these to be affordable, that would be starter type homes. Starter type homes have kids, and there really is no place before I get to play. While I appreciate the additional trees, I also think that if we lose a couple of lots, then you can at least try and build a community here. I understand it's only two acres. I understand that losing two lots will not pencil. I get that. but I just don't see any other benefits that this design is showing me. And so with that, I can, the plan amendment I can live with, the zone change I can live with, the PUD, no, design review, no. And so that's where I'm gonna probably land when we do our vote.

thank you much any other comments commissioner rickman um i i tend to agree with commissioner kolarski for certain and you on the plan amendment and the zone change i you know if the alternative some heavy commercial use there i just don't think that's going to fit in the neighborhood um you know i i'm looking at the walking path i see what's going on there like Like you said, they can follow that to the trail. I'm okay with the PUD. I don't have the same maybe fundamental problem with it generally or in this instance. So I could support that part of the application as well.

All right, Commissioner Brady. I get where both commissioners were coming from. So not to design on the spot, but if you were to just remove one unit and put a park in there, that would, I think, solve some people's issues potentially. But we don't really design on the stand. But that's just a thought.

Go ahead, Commissioner Mohica.

What's mine? Yes.

Oh, I mean, I think everyone said their piece.

Okay, I met with the applicants at length, and there are, 52 parking, there's two parking for each unit, and there's 13 additional parking spots. I really doubt everybody's gonna have a party at the same time, so I think 13 units, it's more than enough. As far as the open spaces, I do see some. I mean, we can't have it all. There's some walking areas. So I'm okay with this application, so I am ready to... Oh, I do have one question, and I'm gonna defer to Public Works on this. In regards to waiver number two, reduce intersection offset three feet, are you guys OK with this?

We are OK with it. If it's not offline from offset that much by three feet, it's not going to cause any left hand conflicts you'll be able to see they're also in condition for a traffic study and compliance if the traffic study believes that they need to add a median the compliance part would mean that they would have to install a median to mitigate those left turn conflicts wonderful so that would come up in the the traffic study will let them know whether they need to install the medium correct all right so i am ready to do this let's see

Motion to approve Plan Amendment 2670026.

Thank you, motion on the floor, cast your vote. Thank you, the motion passes, next item.

Okay, and I can do the rest all in one motion, correct? Yes. And I'm going to approve items 26, 27, 28, 29, and 30.

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

We're waiting for me because I'm trying to figure out which one I'm gonna vote no on because I'm voting no on the PUD. And that would be number, I don't know how to do this.

I'm gonna vote. Mr. Chair, can we vote on the two that Commissioner Clarkson's gonna vote against separately from the other?

Absolutely. So can we, so do we just not vote on this and then Commissioner Mohica can just read them in individually? That'd be fine.

I think you do like 25 and 26 together, right?

Is that right? You can do 26, 27, 28 together.

Okay.

26, 27.

Okay, motion to approve items 26, 27, and 28.

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

And then motion to approve 29 and number 30.

Motion on the floor, cast your vote. Motion passes, good luck.

Thank you very much. Name and address for the record, and tell us about your application.

Good evening. This is Andy Rezazadeh, 6233 Mighty Flotilla, a property owner.

I'm Sean Rezazadeh, property owner.

We are planning to develop two adjacent property at a parcel at north of Lake Mead, east of Maroon Drive, on the west side of the Nellis Boulevard. This improvement is going to be automotive related, which is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. The construction is going to consist of three buildings. On the west side of the property, we are going to have US Auto Service, which does minor auto repairs. On the east side of the property we are planning to have auto sale and on the back side we are planning to have automobile related details. We are planning to have a loading bay over here on the front of the building property. in order to reduce the conflict on the ongoing traffic over here and also we are going to have 19 extra parking which is desirable for like auto sale businesses. So I'm glad to answer any other questions if you have.

Thank you very much. So we're going to open this application up for a public hearing. Anyone who wants to speak on it, now's the time to do so. Seeing no one, we're going to close the public hearing. And I'll open it up to commissioners. Commissioner Mojica?

Yeah, I have a problem with a couple of your waivers. The first one would be the reduced landscape. I happen to agree with comprehensive planning with staff's comments about reducing landscaping. I don't see why there's a need to do that. And number, waiver number four, I also agree with staff in regards to Lake Mead Boulevard and Arterial Street and high traffic street, and that would create stacking of vehicles. So I would not be able to support item 33.

Regarding the reduced landscaping, we have like 255 feet, almost 256 feet of frontage on Lake Mead, and we are just reducing landscaping from 10 feet to 5 feet only on almost 20 feet of that section. And also regarding the reduced drought depth, This property is not going to be a busy shopping center, so we are not going to have any heavy traffic in and out. So we believe that cars are not going to line up and go back to the Lake Mead Boulevard. That's why we think that 10 feet of throat depth will be sufficient. And also, if we look at the other adjacent properties, we are compatible with the orders. None of the auto sales and auto-related businesses have 75 feet. All of them are almost 10 feet.

They have 75 feet and you're requesting 10?

Yes. No, the requirement is 75. We are requesting 10.

Okay, so thank you for the explanation. Any other comments from commissioners? Well, I would just say, I mean, in general, generally, I love the site plan, appreciate the fact that you're developing that piece of dirt. I don't know, I'm not going to, it's not a hill to die on for me for your waivers, but we'll see where the motion goes. Commissioner Hoytman?

So you have the bay doors, maybe I'm, this is probably for staff. Don't we usually prefer that the bay doors are not facing the street?

Generally speaking, yes.

So maybe we can walk through a couple of, I think I'm fine with the plan amendment and the zone change. We're kind of looking here on Google Maps, and I think you're right, there's like a ton of, auto stuff up and down the street um you know you'll have to get this through the board we're just going to recommend to them so they'll take a second look at that and if they have a problem with it you know this is we're just recommending on that one um i guess more of my issues may be on the i'm okay with the use permit and the vehicle sales for repair and maintenance um i tend to agree i don't know if reducing the landscaping on this is going to make that area you know if we're going to go and increase this and say okay let's put in this maybe more intense use and there's a lot of you know kind of run down cars i see on the neighborhood but we don't necessarily want to say oh because they're doing it let's do the same thing maybe we want to spruce it up a little bit so i think that's maybe one where i would say i don't know if we need that Increase maximum parking? I don't have a problem with increasing the parking, I don't think. Yeah, I guess for me it would be the reduced landscape and the loading space within the front setback, right? So like if we were to say to them, yeah, sure, put your auto repairs and retail sales place here, we have no problem with that. Our comment probably would be, turn the bays inside right which may reduce the parking because they would have to figure that out on the inside um and put in the street landscaping which would probably blow up these waivers so I think, again, I don't know if that's a hill I would die on either, but I think those are probably my thoughts is that I'm fine with the zone change. Again, just to repeat myself, I'm fine with the plan amendment and the zone change, and maybe we could work a little bit more before this goes to the big board on the design kind of aspects of it.

No lights. You want to make a motion? Oh. It's Tick's area. I'm sorry, TS. Sometimes I got to remember who's in whose area. Go ahead, Commissioner Kolarski.

Thank you. Okay. I am pretty much okay. What I want, just to make sure, and I was looking just to double check, is the property to the east and the property down towards the west have all got landscaping in front and I want you to match the width of the I can't tell probably the one on the west if you can match that width I don't know if that's Eight feet? I don't know if it's 10 feet.

The property on the east side? On the west. On the west side.

And the one on the east looks like five on Google Earth? On the east. So they both look like they're on either side. They're both 10? I just wanted to match so that it's all the same.

I'd say just keep it at the 10.

Okay, we are recommending. Let's go ahead and do the 10. I'm going to deny waiver number one because I want you to do the 10. Then I am going to go ahead and approve the rest. So I am going to move to approve item 31, which is PA26700028 with staff conditions.

I'm going to approve. Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah, that motion on the floor. Cast your vote.

That motion carries. Next item. And I'm going to move to approve ZZ26-0358 and UC260359 with The use permit waivers.

Mr. Kowarski, let's do this one separately. So there's a motion on the floor for item 32ZZ260358. Cast your vote.

That motion passes. And then I'm going to move to approve UC26-0359, the use permit waivers two, three, four, the design review, and deny waiver number one.

Motion on the floor. Cast your vote. That motion passes. Good luck.

Items 31 through 33 will be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners for final action on September 16th, 2026, at 9 a.m., unless otherwise announced. Items 34 through 38 are companion items and will be heard together. Item 34 is TA 26-700-030, Plan amendment to redesignate the existing land use category from neighborhood commercial NC and corridor mixed-use CM to low-intensity suburban neighborhood LN and compact neighborhood CN on a 14.92-acre portion of a 17.72-acre site generally located west of Dean Martin Drive alignment and south of Richemar Avenue within Enterprise. Item 35, ZC 260392, zone change and reclassify 14.92 acre portion of a 17.72 acre site from RS 20, residential single family 20 zone to an RS 10, residential single family 10 zone and an RS 3.3, residential single family 3.3 zone. generally located west of Dean Martin Drive alignment and south of Richmore Avenue within Enterprise. Item 36, WS260393, vacate and abandon easements of interest to Clark County located between Richmore Avenue and Silverado Ranch Boulevard and Polaris Avenue and Dean Martin Drive within Enterprise. Item 37, WS260394, waivers to development standards for the following. One, increase retaining wall height. Two, modify residential adjacency standards.

Design review for a single-family residential detached development on 14.92 acres, an RS-10 residential single-family 10 zone, and an RS-3.3 residential single-family 3.3 zone, generally located west of Dean Martin Drive and south of Richmore Avenue within Enterprise. And item 38, TM26-500098, intended map for a 113 single-family residential lots and common lots on 14.92 acres in an RS-10 residential single-family 10 zone and an RS-3.3 residential single-family 3.3 zone, generally located west of Dean Martin Drive and south of Richmar Avenue within Enterprise.

Thank you very much.

So name and address for the record. Tell us about your applications. Good evening. Mark Mulhall, 1980 Festival Plaza Drive here on behalf of the applicant. So as mentioned, the site is approximately 14.92 acres located at the northwest corner of Dean Martin Drive and Silverado Ranch Boulevard, indicated in yellow. The green portion is going to be reserved for future commercial development and is not a part of this application we are just west of the i-15 so as mentioned we're requesting a plan amendment to both compact neighborhood and low intensity suburban neighborhood the site is currently planned for commercial with the more intense corridor mixed use along the more let's say 60 percent of the site which will be reserved again for that future commercial development and neighborhood commercial with our proposal um approximately 1.8 acres at the northern portion of the site will be low intensity suburban neighborhood to provide that buffer zone at the northern end of the site with the compact neighborhood being there in the middle as you can see along the i-15 there's planned industrial uses on undeveloped land and planned commercial uses that's been approved for the Maverick gas station. To the west is currently land owned by the federal government. And then to the north, we do have those ranch estate neighborhoods. The applicant is proposing 113 lots on the site. As mentioned, this is the compact neighborhood, RS 3.3 zoned portion of the site. This is the site being proposed for the low intensity suburban neighborhood and RS 10 zoning. All of those lots will be greater than 16,000 square feet, single story. We'll have the commercial down here eventually. you'll have the homes in between, and then you'll have that buffer at the top. This creates a cohesive transition from Silverado Ranch to the commercial, to residential, then up to Richmar where those ranch estate neighborhoods exist. So on this site, we do have three waivers of development standards. The first waiver is along this southern boundary line of the site. And so the site requires six feet of fill, so a six foot retaining wall. Ultimately, this is where it will be located. So it's significantly set off of Silverado Ranch Boulevard. Once there's subsequent development, no one will ultimately see it. So the aesthetic concerns are mitigated by that from the future commercial development and being set off from Silverado Ranch Boulevard. Additionally, there's a waiver regarding buffering. That's for these three lots. So this area has the RNP overlay. It does have a planned land use designation of open lands, which is not residential. And as mentioned, that is owned currently by the federal government. Staff is recommending approval of such waiver. additionally for the site we have access off dean martin drive and the important part about that is that dean martin drive has a signalized intersection so that residents can come out access silverado rents from there access to 15 allowing for a full range of motion we did increase that entrance to reduce any queuing and traffic concerns on dean martin drive public works is recommending approval on that and noted that it will enhance the overall site circulation. Dean Martin Drive is the ideal location for site access here. Additionally, for the tentative map, staff noted that we have the one access point We have addressed concerns related to emergency access via the stub streets. We'll all have emergency access. So this one is not currently shown, but we worked with fire to address any of those concerns through the common element. There's also emergency access to access this portion to address any of those concerns. The stub street down at the site is not wide enough to accommodate a gated entrance point. and there is not enough throat depth, this access point is more than capable of accommodating that. And again, Dean Martin Drive is the appropriate place for an access to be located for this development. So happy to answer any questions. Thank you. Thank you very much for your presentation.

I'm going to open this application up for a public hearing. and thank you for being very patient out there in audience. Come on down and you can speak on this item. As you're coming down, I need name and address so the record is clear and then give us your comments.

Good evening, my name is Pam Kaiser. I reside at 3485 Vicki Avenue. I've seen all of you before. Sorry about that. I would like to address a couple of the concerns. Portion of the development, as he already restated, is in the overlay. Right next to what they're building are two horse ranches. Not even a quarter mile away from there, I have another horse ranch. So we're requesting per, and I believe it was Commissioner Jones that requested this, that along Polaris, those should be 10,000 square foot lots. Because that is the overlay and we are losing all of our property and it is within half a mile of South Point. So relatively speaking, somebody could come in there and buy that for another horse ranch. because right now i have people calling my place which i'm a private facility trying to get their horses into my place this is one of the hottest places around for horse ranches so ten thousand square foot lots i believe would be appropriate being as the overlay is stating it is rural and we do have rural horses there also all of us people that have the horse ranches I open my place up if kids want to come see them. I do not appreciate them coming over my walls, which has happened, and parents allow it, but that puts me at risk. So to reduce the number in the KB homes, which I also helped get the other development for KB homes on Dean Martin. It's not that we're anti-building, it's that they're overbuilding. There's 33 acres there right across the way on Silverado Ranch and Valley View, just under 600 units. So rather than stacking more houses, please adhere to the 10,000 square foot lots along Polaris. I live at the corner of Polaris and Vicki. If you guys wanna look, you can see my horse ranch. I live right next to Wyndham Hills. I have a very good relationship with all of them. but that is one of the things and i'd also believe the enterprise town board recommended also players have the ten thousand square foot lots so that's one of the things we cannot get behind the congestion And is it not, and I'm not sure how they can work it, and if the crash gates work, then I'm okay with it, but is it not supposedly that you have to have two ingress and egresses on these, a lot of track that big? Can somebody address that for me?

We'll get a response for you. Okay. Yeah, yeah, go ahead.

But as far as, you know, I've met with KB Homes on a number of occasions. We've requested, as they did with... Keep going.

No, no, keep going. You're fine.

We've requested along Valley View to match the Wyndham Hills, the rural type landscaping. We're trying to get it so that it's uniform out there rather than hodgepodge and everybody doing their own landscaping. So that would be another thing that we would like to address. The KB homes on Vicki and Dean Martin have adhered to that. So thank you very much.

Thank you, and we appreciate you being a part of the process, so welcome to see you all the time. All right, sir, name and address for the record and tell us about your application. I mean, give us your comments.

Terrance McGee, 3280 West Richmar. I'm directly across the street from this project. I'm addressing the waivers that they have and the increased waiver for the fence height. that they're they're asking for we'd like to see them stay consistent with what we already have in the neighborhood what they've done at Wyndham Hills what they've also done up there at Valley View and Richmar on the on that east side there that's what we'd like to see it would be consistent that's what we're looking for we want to make sure that uh... we would like to have you deny them the off sites Because it is a rural preservation area, and we want to see it stay the same. So we'd like to see that as well.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much. Any other? Yes, ma'am. Take your time. Don't run. Don't run. You're okay. No, that's okay.

I wasn't going to speak. This is right across. Oh, Heidi McGee, 30. Oh, my lips are not working. Heidi McGee, 3280 West Richmark Avenue. Mark, can I get one more? I don't have any, but I just want to show where we're at so that we can keep our protection. We're in the RMP. We're in the overlay. We've been out there for 33 years. We've been a part of this whole process forever for 30 years. And I just would like to make sure... Oh, I can't stop shaking. I would just like to make sure that you protect us with the 10,000 square footage, which is right across the street from us. You carried on down Richmar, and then you carried around to Polaris. It's been a process forever, and I know it's late, but I know we're last. But it's a constant process to protect yourself across the street when you're in the RMP.

Thank you very much for the comments, we appreciate it. All right, seeing no one else coming down, we're gonna close the public comments and we're going to open it up to the board. I guess I'll start and I'll start with staff. So let's talk about the site plan and try to answer one of the questions, ingress, egress. So I'm sure this has come before you and is our staff okay with the ingress, egress that's presented?

which part because if the two accesses would be a planning question okay um but with the widening of the driveway for the access um we are okay with it we think having a wider driveway to allow for it to be gated and would go for better movement and reduce any stacking in the street and stuff like that but the two accesses would be better thank you and i'll direct that to

that to ingress, egress question to planning.

So the standard is two through access drives for a property that's over five acres in size. So for that reason, staff had recommended denial of the tentative map.

Okay. All right. All right. So denial. Then I'm going to ask the applicant to maybe speak on this waiver for fence height. And this is a KB product, right? And KB also has the product that the neighbors are speaking about up by, Yeah, Vicki and Dean Martin Windham Hills. Is that the same builder? That's correct. Okay, and so that builder is very familiar with the area and can continue to be very consistent as it builds through the process and adjacent to the RMP. Is that a correct statement?

Yes, that's correct. And if I could just address those just briefly. Well, quickly, I'll address the wall height that it's... It is only occurring on the southern property line. So away from the existing residences of the cross section here for reference that it only occurs down here at the south. So it's not something that's going to be visible to neighbors or impact the aesthetics of their community. it faces out towards Silverado Ranch. And I do think that with this, you know, we hear the concern about the 10,000 square foot lots and buffering, and that's why we have those larger lots that exceed 16,000 square feet at the northern portion along Richmar Avenue. Again, we would just disagree on these portions of these three lots that are adjacent to the undeveloped property with a non-residential planned land use that's currently owned by the federal government to have those buffering. But we do definitely respect those concerns and have the buffer there at the northern part of the property fronting on Richmar.

All right. Thank you for that. I'm going to turn it over to commissioners. Go ahead, Commissioner Rickman.

Yeah, just to be clear, what the neighbors, I think, want is 10,000 foot lots, and that's what is usually we look for as the buffer from the RMP, right?

That's correct.

And these are 16,000 foot lots, so quite a bit bigger than that? That's correct. That's pretty satisfactory to me. When you were talking about the move forward, that's why I was a little confused. I was like, isn't that what's happening here? I agree that you shouldn't have to put them next to the undeveloped land. The other comments I heard were about landscaping and off-sites and maybe the chair was kind of getting at this. I wonder if we can address those concerns by trying to make sure that the landscape is uniform and that if there's a way, maybe this is for public works or planning, but is there a way to allow some flexibility on the off-sites so that maybe we don't Again, I don't want to do anything that's unsafe, obviously, and I think that's probably why some of those things are there, but maybe even on the north side so that they can maintain some of this rural aesthetic.

Thank you, Commissioner. And just a comment on off-sites. This is Public Works. We prefer the off-site improvements because especially when it helps with the drainage aspect of the improvements. We have already received calls from the property owners to the north about the drainage and it reaching their property. So with the installation of all-site improvements, that will get rid of those aspects of it and help the overall development in this area. And also with the KB Homes on Vicki, north on Dean Martin, Public Works had to go back and put asphalt sidewalks on Dean Martin for the KB Home homeowners because they wanted to travel on Dean Martin to reach the park because both subdivisions are separated, so Public Works went in after the fact, after the off-site improvements were waived, to build an asphalt sidewalk for those property owners to reach the park.

Okay, understood. And so there's obviously a ton of different types of off-site improvements, but maybe, so like say we're not talking about drainage or paving, maybe we're talking about certain lights that need to go up or other things that are maybe more aesthetic that could, I don't know.

We are working as far as public works on rule light, down lighting, friendly towards that area as well. We have not finalized that design, but we have been working with Commissioner Knapp's office on that type of, those type of improvements, so.

Wonderful. Yeah, okay, I think I'm okay with this, so. Okay, thank you.

Thank you, Commissioner Workman. Commissioner Kirk?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just a couple questions. Can you point on the map where the Maverick gas station, I think you mentioned that, right? Yes. Is that already been approved?

That is approved.

Are they under construction?

I don't think they're under construction yet.

And did you have any neighborhood meetings?

Yes.

And how did that go?

So we had a couple of neighborhood meetings, the first one, and one of the reasons for the Dean Martin access point is that I believe at the first meeting we came with about five or seven different plans. They were laid out differently. We had a Polaris access point previously in the concern with that. is that if people are wanting to get to the 15, they're gonna have to make a right or they're gonna come back up into the area. Dean Martin was the preferred access point. So we work to have that in, expand that access point. so then they can access the signalized intersection. There was discussions too previously about the buffering. There was kind of two camps at the time about having lots such as what we did that front out on to Richmar where you have those or having this 50-foot landscape buffer. We did decide to go with the homes. It would have been a landscape buffer with a walking path essentially to nowhere. So we felt that the homes brought more value to the community in having those buffer homes.

And share with me what the feeling were with the neighbors with respect to the 16,000 square foot lots that you proposed.

Again, I think the sentiment was mixed. I think They like, one, that there is a buffer versus having smaller lots coming up and that they were larger and single story. Again, some wanted more landscaping setback. Some wanted, as the request tonight, more 10,000 square foot lots to continue on.

And what are the lot sizes for the majority of the development?

Yeah, so there are 3.3 standards, so they range from around 3,500 square feet up to 5,000 square feet.

And the property to the west is 40 acres, right?

That's correct.

And that's BLM?

Yes.

Is that in disposal boundary, do you know? Has it been...

My understanding is that it was a reservation for a school. I don't know if that reservation has changed.

I don't have any money. So my point is this, what we are to do with the board. What we decide on this parcel is going to be what we're going to get next door. I just lay that out there as what's going to happen. Because when this 40 acres is disposed of, and when a school is not built, and it's determined to be residential, we're going to have more of this 3,500 square foot lot. So I'm not saying that's bad. I'm just saying that's what's going to happen.

And it's important to note in that case that this southeastern portion of that 40-acre site is already planned for compact neighborhood, which is what we're requesting tonight.

I rest my, you proved my point, thank you.

Thank you, Commissioner Kirk. Commissioner Brady.

So my biggest concern on this is the area and what amenities the area has. When it comes into where's grocery shopping, where's restaurants, where is all the amenities that this that really Southern Highlands lacks. It gets to a point where that I just don't, when I'm driving here and I'm driving to California, I'm like, all right, do I wanna stop somewhere really quick and get something to eat? And what I always find is that if I don't want Jack in the box, I've gotta go all the way down really, really far. There's nothing as far as food, there's nothing as far as just, commercial is just really lacked in the area so that's where my concern is we're going to take this from commercial and exacerbate the issue that's my concern here so i don't know how everybody else feels on it um that's that's a strong part for me on on most of this

I would just, before I turn it over to Commissioner Kowarski, I hear all the comments from my commissioners. I am on the fence, I have mixed feelings. And I want to just say to the residents, I do appreciate how engaged the RNP is in our process. I think with the future commercial development, I would like it to be less dense, but I do appreciate the applicant taking the time to put oversized lots up against the RNP. And to Commissioner Kirk's point, that's probably, if we approve this, that's what we're gonna get the rest of the way through. Even though a portion of that BLM land is already designated for RS-10, I would imagine that... we would build it out the same way where we'd have buffering lots all the way on the RNP with the more dense coming back toward, what is that? Is that 15, 215? So I guess I'm on the fence, more so I can support the application, but we'll just see where the motioner goes. And that is, Commissioner Kolarski, do you want to go next?

Yeah, I was just going to reiterate, but I don't want to, but I concur with everything that Commissioner Kirk just said, because that was my thoughts entirely. I realize the compact to the south on that adjacent property. But again, I think that if we don't buffer these properly against that, we're already giving permission for the next group of buyers, and they may not want to put that buffer up against Richemont. So I think that we need to I THINK WE NEED TO KIND OF LIKE IF YOU REALLY WANT TO HAVE THE 10,000 LOTS ON THE POLARIS SIDE ALSO.

THANK YOU. THOSE ARE ALL OUR COMMENTS. COMMISSIONER MOJICA.

CAN YOU POINT TO THE POLAR IN YOUR MAP. NOT THIS ONE. THE OTHER ONE. THAT ONE. Can you point to Polaris?

Yes. This is Polaris. It's currently undeveloped, so the applicant will be doing half-street improvements.

So I thought when the neighbor spoke, I thought maybe she was a neighbor on Polaris.

On the other side.

Oh, on the top. On the top part. Okay. But that corner, that Richmond and Polaris is where the 16,000 square foot lot is?

Yes.

Okay. And then the portion below that 1600 square foot lot, that is not, that hasn't been, that's vacant land?

This is vacant, yes.

Okay. So basically where she's at is where the 16,000 square foot lot is?

Yes, that's correct. Okay. Adjacent to existing.

Okay, one. So that's covered. The other thing is, the other concern was the crash gates. And so you work with the fire department, correct?

Yes, that's correct. For emergency access at all stub streets and across into the cul-de-sac.

And that was a requirement from the fire department and you had a hearing to that?

Yes, that's correct.

Okay. And then you work with Public Works on that entrance?

Yes, and Public Works is supporting that.

And Public Works, are you okay with this? Yes. Okay, thank you. Where was the other concern? It was the entrance, so we discussed that. We discussed the RMP, 10,000 lot. It's not 10,000, it's 16,000. It's next to the neighbor. Oh, off-sites. So I'm a little confused, so help me out with this. Were the neighbors for the off-sites or against the off-sites?

I think they'd prefer rural. We are currently showing off-sites. As mentioned, it was largely related to drainage, and then also we have land saving, but we are showing off-sites currently.

Okay, so the neighbors prefer no off-sites, but Public Works requires off-sites. So we have to go with public works requirement because we don't want the same problem as indicated before.

We think from a drainage perspective in this area would be an improvement.

So the other thing I want to address is the uniformity to the Wyndham, what they keep referring to, Wyndham Hills, is that what it's called?

I'd have to double check. Don't know exactly if it's Windham Hills, but yes, the other KV development.

So have you talked to these neighbors or is this the first time you see them?

Two out of three of them were at the neighborhood meeting at the McGee's. I haven't spoken to Ms. Kaiser on this project.

Okay. So I'm ready to move on this. And I don't know where, and I'm going to ask staff. If I want to put a condition that they have to work with the neighbors in regards to the uniformity to make it the same as the other one so that it looks aesthetically pleasing.

Do you have specifics on what parts of that you want?

Well, they keep referring to KB. And they're saying that it's the same KB is your builder, correct? Yes, that's correct. And KB is the one that built Windom? Am I correct?

Yeah. No, not the other KB build that she was referring to. Desert Oak. Desert Oak. Desert Oak did the Windom.

Okay, can we talk to them?

Do you want to have them come up? Okay, all right, so we can keep the record clear. I will recognize someone from the audience. One person can come back up and just talk to me about, so we can make sure that we address the uniformity of the adjacent properties.

Okay, Wyndham Hills went in and Desert Oaks built Wyndham Hills.

I think you have to state your name again, I'm sorry, and address.

Pam Kaiser, 3485 Vicki Avenue, 89139. Desert Oaks built Wyndham Hills. When KB Homes came to us, because we worked with KB Homes on the Dean Martin project, they matched the rural, and yes, they did put the asphalt in, but the asphalt originally was supposed to go in per Commissioner Jones's request. So that was nothing new that that went in. The KB homes matched the landscaping, and then recently the new homes, and I believe KB's over on Valley View too, right? Yeah, because I was at the County Commission meeting for that, and they, April Becker and NAF also, I asked for uniformity down Valley View because Wyndham Hills is on Valley View to just match the landscaping so that we don't have a hodgepodge all the way down Valley View because that's all gonna get developed. So they have 10, pardon me? Valley View and Silverado Ranch and all the way down. They've got a whole bunch of different developments going in there. And they're supposedly going to match the landscaping towards what Wyndham Hills has, okay? The KB Homes that has already gone in has already done that. I think you guys can pull that one up and see that. We did work with them.

All right, I think we got enough.

Okay.

Thank you very much.

I'm ready to make a motion. Motion to approve Plan Amendment 26700.

I thought I saw another light, I apologize.

Let's try that again. Motion to approve plan amendment 70030. Motion on the floor, cast your vote.

That motion passes.

Okay, motion to approve ZZ260392 and VS260393. All right, motion on the floor, cast your vote.

That motion passes. We didn't need a super on that, okay.

Okay, motion to approve WS260394. Is this where I put the condition to work with the neighbors in getting some specifics on matching the Valley View, but they keep referring to landscaping?

Yeah, I don't think we, I don't think it's to work with the neighbors. Let's just, if you want the types of material, landscape materials to match what's on Valley View at the Wyndham Hills development, that's what the condition will be. Correct.

Perfect.

All right, motion on the floor, cast your vote. Yes, yep, WS26, yeah, the waivers of development standards. The motion passes, next item.

Motion to approve TM26500098. Motion on the floor, cast your vote.

That motion passes. Good luck.

Thank you. Thank you. Items 34 through 38 will be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners for final action on September 16th, 2026 at 9 a.m., unless otherwise announced. Next, we have items 39 through 41, which are companion items and will be heard together. Item 39, PA 2670031, plan amendment to redesignate the land use category from Rancho State Neighborhood, RN, to Neighborhood Commercial, NC on 0.72 acres, generally located south of Russell Road and east of Topaz Street within Paradise. Item 40ZC260409, zone change to reclassify 0.72 acres from an RS-20 residential single family 20 zone to a CP commercial professional zone, generally located south of Russell Road and east of Topaz Street within Paradise. In item 41, WS260410, waivers of development standards for the following. One, reduce buffering and screening. Two, reduce driveway width. Three... allow attached sidewalks to remain, and four, modify uniform standard drawings. Design review for the conversion of an existing single-family residence to an office use on 0.72 acres in the CP commercial professional zone within the airport environment's AE60 overlay, generally located south of Breslau Road and east of Topaz Street within Paradise.

Thank you very much. Name and address for the record and tell us about your applications.

Good evening, Chairman Frazier and Commissioners. Labanie Ohini, 520 South 4th Street, representing the applications. This series of application, which is three of them, consists of a plan amendment, rezoning, and waivers and design reviews to convert an existing single family residence to an office use office building. To orient you to the site, the parcel is located on the south side of Russell Road, basically midway between Topaz Street to the west and McLeod to the east. On the plan amendment portion of the application, Just to explain this area, this area over the past 20 or more years has been slowly in transition to commercial uses on both sides of Russell Road. So with the land use plan, the northern portion has basically all converted and the master plan shows that is basically the NC category. To the south, which is where this lot is located, a few of the lots have converted, but it's not completed. Therefore, that's why you don't see the master plan changes on the parcel yet. On the zoning map you can see the CP zoning mostly along the north adjacent to us to the east. There's a residence to our west and then there is a commercial center that converted actually when I was still at the county. And so our request is to convert that existing house On the plan amendment and the zoning classification staff has recommended approval. The justification is the same justification I gave, which is the houses front Russell, which is a material and it's in transition. And therefore the plan amendment and zoning can be supported by staff. The third application, which is 41 is where staff has an issue, um, with the application. And just to state as a fact that all the conditions are existing. So the waivers, I'll go through the series of waivers under item number 41. I'll go through the planning waivers first. This residence is more than 3,500 square feet. It is on 0.72 acres. The first waiver, which is 1A, is to reduce the landscaping adjacent to the residence. And so showing you basically the property, this is the existing conversion. This is the residence. These walls exist and the fence was put in to match the other one to the west. So on the landscape plan, The landscape plan, the intent is to reduce it to 10 feet adjacent to the house, but provide 15 along the entire frontage. The next waivers are for these existing block walls. They are 4.5 feet or more. This is to the west and the south, and the request is to maintain those wall heights and Basically, it's not really a reduction. It's basically to maintain existing conditions. To our east, of course, is the other residents. So those are the planning waivers. With the public works waivers, I wanted to show you pictures that depict the frontage. This is to the east, where there's an existing... street light, a public street light, which is about five feet from the existing driveway. So for our first waiver, what we requested was to provide a 20 foot wide driveway. Now on this second picture, if you lay it together, there's the light pole and then there's a water meter. So then code requires that you provide 32 to 36 feet commercial driveways, which is impossible to do because it would mean relocating this street light, also relocating this water meter, which would involve going into Russell Road. This is a small business. It's a pool company, and the intent is to convert to use it as their office and for some display. These are things that are cost-prohibited. prohibited. So we're asking to maintain the current standard. We have discussed the driveway with Public Works. We've been working with them. I believe staff had stated that the report should have said 32 or 36, but it says 24. But the minimum requirement for a driveway per fire department is 24 feet. We're more than happy to provide that 24 feet because it wouldn't involve removing any of their utilities, that will be expensive to do. Based on the driveway as well, Public Works wanted a commercial driveway, which the same would happen, which would involve removing their utilities. And also for detached sidewalk, for miles from the freeway, to into the airport except for newer developments along East Russell that's attached sidewalk. We're located at mid block. This would be the only property that would be providing a detached sidewalk for miles from 15 all the way through the airport unless it's a newer development. So with that said, we did do a neighborhood meeting, conducted a neighborhood meeting on June 24th. No neighbors showed up. No neighbors showed up to the town board. Town board understood the request and agreed that trying to get a small business owner to provide these things and moving utilities out of the way will just stop the project. And so they recommended approval. So we would like to ask your consideration to approve the project as requested. However, we're willing to do the 24 fee to comply with minimum driveway to comply with public works minimum standard. I'm here to answer any questions you may have. Thank you.

Thank you very much. We're going to open this application up for a public hearing. Seeing no one in the audience, we will close the public hearing, and then I'll open up to commissioners. I'm fine with the application. Commissioner Kirk? No one knows your area. Commissioner Kolarski?

Thank you. Just one quick question. You have this big open space. You're a pool company. This big, right where your hand is at, that is not going to be storage. Am I correct?

Yes, ma'am. It's supposed to be landscaping. They were already moving earth I'll be more than happy to accept a condition that we all know CP, they can't do storage, but sometimes it's good to put a specific condition. But they are supposed to landscape it more as a display for the few customers that may want to see what they provide. If you look here, their patio cover is here, and the intent is, If some people come to the site, not a lot will come to the site because most pool companies go to their customer's site, then they would have that, and then they will landscape this area more as a display for people to see what they can do as well.

Thank you. And then one other thing. With the rewrite of Title 30, because this used to be the old CRT, so the old CRT had the design standards where they had a residential, I remember that, We don't have that overlay anymore, do we?

No. We don't have CRT anymore, no.

Okay. I just wanted to verify that. And that's all my questions. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Commissioner Kowalski. Commissioner Kirk?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just one quick question for Public Works, and that is on waiver number two. If when I met with Lebanese earlier, she said she'd be willing to withdraw that. And so my question to you is was 24 feet acceptable?

so per title um it 20 or 32 feet well actually it's an 80 so 36 feet is what's required per code um but fire code allows 24 feet so we did agree with working with her on the driveway geometrics to come up with something that works for public works plus works for a fire

Okay, so we don't necessarily want to withdraw waiver number two, then we'll leave it. Correct.

Yeah, that's why I didn't ask for it after they clarified it.

And then Nelson, I don't know if anybody really cares about this, but Nelson explained to me about a commercial pan driveway versus a commercial curb return driveway. I don't think I could tell you what he meant right now, but I understood at the time. And I don't have a problem with it. And I don't have a problem with the attached sidewalks either. I think if you look along Russell, it makes complete sense. So with that, I will move to approve, let's see, PA 2670031. All right, there's a motion on the floor.

Cast your vote. Motion passes. Next item.

And then I will move to approve item 40, 41, item 40 and 41.

Thank you very much. There's a motion on the floor. Cast your vote. Motion passes. Good luck.

Thank you, commissioners, and have a good night, good evening, good night.

So, go ahead, staff.

Items 39 through 41 will be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners for final action on September 16th, 2026 at 9 a.m. unless otherwise announced.

All right, and then item 42, ordinance.

Item 42 is Ordinance 26900606, review an ordinance to amend Title 30 regulations as previously directed by the Board of County Commissioners to add language within communication tower, delete language within massage, and make corrections and clarifications as appropriate, and providing for other matters properly related thereto.

And there's no voting on that, that's just information and it'll be forwarded to Board of County Commissioners?

Yes. Okay, thank you very much.

And then the last item on our agenda is public comments. So now's the time anyone can come down and make public comments on the record. Seeing no one in the audience, we're gonna close public comments and adjourn the meeting. Thank you, staff, good night.
