Welcome to the Clark County Zoning Meeting. Before we begin, we'd like to briefly explain how today's meeting works and how you can participate. Today's agenda includes different types of items the Board of County Commissioners will discuss and may vote on. Some items are routine and may be approved together in one vote, while others are considered individually and may include a public hearing. Sometimes an agenda item may be held at the request of a commissioner or county staff. When an item is held, it will not be discussed or voted on during today's meeting and will be brought back at a future meeting. There are two opportunities for public comment during this meeting, and it's important to understand the difference. The first public comment period takes place at the beginning of the meeting. This public comment is only for items that are listed on today's agenda. Comments during this time must relate to a specific agenda item. If you wish to speak about a particular agenda item, you may comment at the beginning of the meeting, or you may wait to see if that item is discussed later and includes an opportunity for public comment when the item is being considered. Some routine items may be approved together as part of what is called the consent agenda. If you do not agree with a staff recommendation for one of these items, you must request that that item be removed before the Board takes action. If it is not removed, it may be approved early in the meeting as part of a single vote. Items that are not routine are considered one at a time and may include an opportunity for public comment before the Board votes. When it's time to speak, please come forward. There are three microphones available, including the handheld microphone if you have documents you would like to show. If you wish to show a document, an overhead camera may be used at the direction of the board chair. Please do not display documents that contain personal or sensitive information. When speaking, please talk directly into the microphone, clearly and at a steady volume. This helps ensure your comments are heard and recorded as part of the public record. Speakers are required to state their name, spell their last name and state their address. At the end of the meeting, there is a second public comment period. This final public comment is for items not listed on the agenda. No action may be taken on those comments at that time. All public comments are limited to three minutes unless otherwise announced by the chair at the beginning of the meeting. During all public comment periods, board members may listen but are not allowed to respond. Thank you for being here and for taking the time to participate in your local government.
I wanted to explain, but I didn't.
Good morning. The zoning commission meeting will come to order. Mr. Oswein.
Good morning, commissioners. The first item on the agenda is public comments.
As first sign set aside for public comment, anyone wishing to come forward, speak on an item on this agenda, please come forward at this time.
Seeing no one, we'll close public comment and turn it over to Ms. Salson. Thank you. The second item on the agenda is the approval of the... Oh, I'm sorry. Welcome.
Good morning. Chris Teachman, 6280 South Valley View, Suite 116. I sent an email into planning holding item number 46 to the September 16th meeting agenda.
That's going to have a separate public hearing. Yeah.
At the next portion of the agenda, I'll go ahead and read that in, and I've added that one to the list.
Thank you.
Okay, second item is the approval of the agenda after considering any additions or deletions of any items. Sorry, there's somebody else.
Public comment period. Steve Small, 8565 South Warbonnet Way, 89113. uh... commenting on the buffalo serene and uh... silver uh... project that's on today's i received taped to my front door the following commissioner jones sir this this item is this letter was sent to the commission to mr amerson sir this item was requested to be your response can you just hold on one sec go ahead yeah
Sorry, this item has requested to be held. You can speak today on it, but I just wanted to let you know that as part of what will be read in today.
Based on the response to that letter that was taped to my front door, which is a rebuttal, this letter then was supposed to keep me from showing up today to speak on the problem. So I don't know what your response to that letter was, because that's their letter to you. Based on my representation, I want to know what your response to the letter was. Are you going to hold it for two weeks? I can leave. If you could state right now that
So again, sir, you are welcome to speak. I just said that that has been requested to be held.
I will, if it stays on the agenda, I'll stay to speak. But otherwise, you're wasting my time and yours.
Commissioner, I think he's contesting the hold. I think that's what's going on.
That depends on your response to the letter.
It's up to the board, and we'll deal with that when we approve the agenda. Yeah, if you want to sit down for a minute, then you'll see what happens, and then you can decide whether to stay or not.
Well, I asked before the meeting with the attorney, the civil attorney representing the board. But he didn't know.
Because the attorney can't predict what the board's going to do. So if you want to sit down for just a minute, then we'll go ahead and decide on the hold. If you want to sit down for a minute, then we can go ahead and decide on the hold, and then you can make a decision as to whether you want to stay or not.
Well... All right, and I'll wait to see if it's pulled off the agenda.
2-2-2, Karen Avenue, Unit 1505. I signed up a sheet to speak on item 15. I don't know if this is the time to speak or if it will be, I can speak later.
Now is the time to speak.
Now is the time to speak. So I attended the Winchester Town Board meeting where Tyler Fairbanks presented on behalf of the Boring Company with regard to the complex of tunnels that is ongoing for the Boring Company and had some questions with regard to our property, which is listed as a proposed station. We're a private residential tower community at 222 Cairn Avenue. It's still unclear what exactly is being planned with this request as a proposed station. Currently, we are simply like a pickup, surface pickup spot to utilize Vegas Loop, similar to Uber or Lyft. They come by, they pick us up, and they take us down into the Westgate tunnel access. Question we have is, what are they asking Clark County to do with regard to 222 Cairn Avenue? What is the future plan for this station? Will it remain a surface station on our private property utilized for only our residents? Or is this something totally different planned for the future?
If I could respond to that. Ma'am, if you'll, I don't know if you wanna wait through the whole meeting, but if you'll reach out to me, I'll have a briefing with you and explain to all the Turnberry people what's going on. It's nothing nefarious, but I'll try to tell you what I know.
Okay, third time's a charm, I hope. Second item on the agenda is the approval of the agenda after considering any additions or deletions of items. Staff has received the following requests, which may require re-notification fees in accordance with Title 30. Hold to the September 2nd, 2026 zoning meeting, number seven, AR-26-400-060, ZC21-0095.

If there's anything left, I would move for approval.
There's a motion for approval. Please cast your votes.
And Mr. Chair, I just want to clarify, sir, those will be held till October 7th. Thank you.
All right, next item on the agenda is approval of the minutes. The minutes of the July 22nd, 2026 zoning meeting are ready for approval.
Motion to approve. We have a motion by Commissioner Sagerblum. Please cast your votes.
Motion is adopted. Next are the routine action items, which consists of items 4 through 27, except for any items which have been held or withdrawn. These items may be considered together in one motion and are subject to the conditions listed with each agenda item. Staff would like to clarify that on item 15, UC-26-0383, assessor's parcel number 162-21-810-004 is not a part of the application. With that, if there's no objections from the audience, the public hearing is open and the routine action agenda is ready for approval.
Motion to approve. It's a motion by Commissioner Segerblum. Please cast your votes.
Motion is adopted. Next is item number 28, SDR-26-0395, sign design review to increase the height of freestanding signs in conjunction with the proposed gas station and retail store on five acres in a CG zone, generally located north of Silverado Ranch Boulevard and east of Dean Martin Drive within Enterprise.
Welcome.
You were asking for one through 27. I'm here for item 12.
Item 12 has been approved. Item 12 has been approved.
I want to speak on that item. That's what I'm here for.
That would have happened during the public.
I have a hearing issue, so I'm sorry I didn't hear what you were saying.
So we'll go ahead and reopen public comment.
My name is Janet Justin Kane. I live at 2940 Shondaren Circle, which abuts Lindell, which is catty corner from this particular location. You know, many of you probably, you knew my husband quite well. He and Bill Flangus, Governor Gwynn, they built that building years ago with donated labor. It was called the Patowski League. It has four NBA basketball courts in it and five handball courts and so forth. It then became a Boys and Girls Club and a live memorial.
Ma'am, if you could just move over. You gotta be in front of that microphone or we can barely hear ya.
Okay, thank you. I'm sorry. Anyway, in fact, I personally worked on the construction of that. I chaired the... mesh when they were getting ready to pour the cement for iron. My husband was also a business agent for the iron workers. Frank Kane, I'm sure you all knew him because he was the president of the building trades for 40-some years. And to allow this, I have here a neighborhood meeting that we had back in January of 25 regarding them taking over that school. Everybody except one individual was opposed to that and that individual had a child going to Pinecrest and actually I think Mr. Jones has one of his children going there, so he probably should have recused himself when they were voting on this. Then I got this in the mail on the 28th of July at 3.30 in the afternoon when the mail comes for a meeting that was gonna be held that evening at the Spring Valley Town Board. Now I don't know how many other people got that that late, That was going to be held that very night at 6 o'clock. Well, what's going on here? No wonder we have newspaper articles after newspaper articles of people like Jimmy Floyd. I'm sure you all know who I'm talking about. Does anybody pay attention to their constituents? We were opposed to this school being taken over or this facility being taken over. This past week, we had to have Metro out there. to handle the traffic. They have absolutely devastated our neighborhood. We had a beautiful little residential area there. I've lived there 40 years, 40 years in that same house. And now it's like, does anybody care what the people that live around there? have to say i'm not in favor of giving them any extensions and certainly not wavering the buffering and so forth that had uh it blended what was there blended into the neighborhood we have across the street from there a whole block of a church ma'am thank you so much It looks like part of Circus Circus. They painted it white and maroon, and it's like, are you kidding me? This is my neighborhood. You know, it's terrible.
Ma'am, thank you so much. We received your public comment, and we'll now resume our hearings starting with item 28. And if... Turn it over to Commissioner Jones.
Ms. Kane, I've known you for probably 20 years now. Just for the record, my children do not go to nor have they ever gone to Pinecrest Academy. I have one child left in school, and he goes to CCSD school.
I'm sorry, Justin.
You accuse me of not disclosing that my children go to Pinecrest Academy. That is false. Okay? I do not nor have I ever had a child that goes to Pinecrest Academy. Thank you, Miss Kane. You can sit down now.
They said that you had a child going there. I only can go by what they say.
So we're back to number 28, which I've already read into the record.
Everybody else. And now here, you know, people are at work. They can't be here. And I'm 94 years old. Can you believe it? And I have to come down here and fight for my neighborhood? This isn't right. We didn't need another school. We have Elaine Wynne there, we have Roundy, and then the county spent countless millions renewing Doris Hancock up at Lindell.
Thank you, ma'am. If you just step back, we have to resume our meeting for today. I would encourage you to reach out to Commissioner Jones after the meeting, and he will speak with you. But right now, we have to resume our meeting. It's been approved. Thank you. All right, do we have a presenter for item number 28? Thank you, welcome.
Good morning, commissioners. My name is Tony Celeste, address 1980 Festival Plaza Drive, here on behalf of the applicant Maverick Gas Station. As you can see, I have your zoning map and master plan map in front of you. By just way of background, in November of last year, this board did approve a convenience store with gas station located along on the south side of Silverado Ranch and the west side of I-15 on the southern half of this five acre portion right here. We are now coming before you with a proposed signage for the approved convenience store. When we initially submitted this application, we were required to submit with respect to residential adjacency requirements and those are in your sign design review labeled as 1A and 1B. We are going to withdraw those without prejudice as those applications are not needed. So really what is only before you now is one sign and that will be sign application 1C. And the proposed location and the sign right here will be on the southeast corner of the site. Again, Silverado Ranch to your south, I-15 to the north. In a commercial zone district, which this is, you are allowed signage up to 50 feet. we have a request in our design review to increase that allowed height from 50 to 70 feet. The reason being is that when you drive out there, and if you'll excuse me, I'm trying to pull my photo here. When you're on the site here and you drive out in that area, you can see that the I-15 and Silverado Ranch intersection is at that location. At that location, the I-15 off-ramp to go to Silverado elevates, and you can see right here is the overpass for the interchange at Silverado Ranch. So essentially, the site is buried in a hole there, and that is the reason why we're requesting to have an increased sign so that so that we can get visibility above that overpass and visibility to the I-15 in this area here. You can see right here we've done some modeling of that sign. Right here is essentially kind of what it would look like going in both directions, allowing visibility down the I-15, both north and southbound traffic. There has been some prior examples of the county being willing to increase sign height. For example, while not in this area, but as a good example, there is the IKEA sign located near the bend at the 215 near Sunset Road there, where that sign again is similar situated where the property You have overpasses in there. The county did allow up to 75 feet. Another example is on relatively close to here, Las Vegas Boulevard and Silverado Ranch, where you have the Promenade Shopping Center. You do have a 75 foot tall sign there. I will also note across the highway from us is South Point. That sign exceeds 70 feet as well, as well as some billboards that are up and down the I-15 that also range in about the 50-foot height area as well, but those are not generally near the overpasses and things like that. So with that, we respectfully request to increase our sign from the 50 feet to 70 feet. Happy to answer any questions.
Thank you, this is a public hearing. Anyone wishing to come forward at this time? Welcome. If I could have someone in the booth turn up the volume on my mic a little bit.
morning commissioners tommy lopresti ninety three forty one d martin drive we were at the town board last week or two weeks ago i think on this uh... application and we did uh... make our comments known that we were uh... opposed to the seventy feet height uh... they had a little model up there with a A silhouette of a person standing next to it, it just seemed extremely aggressive. I think that we agreed, kind of, that 50 feet was enough to hit over the overpass. I mean, I'm not really sure. It's a gas station. I'm not sure how much more attention they need to draw to it. It's not a carnival. I mean, comparing it to the south point, I think, is a little bit much. There is supposed to be, in front of you soon, there'll be a project for housing development just across Dean Martin from this. So bringing those people into consideration, too, I can certainly appreciate that they want to bring... attention to their project, but 70 feet just seemed a little much, so we were requesting that 50 feet we thought was a fair height. I'm curious also, I haven't really been following it, there was concern about the sign that was going to be on Dean Martin. He mentioned withdrawing a few parts of the application, but at one point there was talk of a 35-foot sign on Dean Martin. We were requesting that it just be a monument sign, so if you guys can confirm that for me, hopefully that they They changed their design review to just a monument sign on Dean Martin. I would appreciate it. So again, as a neighborhood, we were just hoping to limit the height to 50 feet and a monument sign on Dean Martin to kind of lessen the aggressiveness coming into our rural neighborhood. We would appreciate it. Thank you.
Thank you. We'll close the public hearing and turn it over to Commissioner Jones.
Thank you, Mr. Vice Chair. Mr. Alswain, can you clarify the withdrawal of waivers A and B?
Yeah, so those were put on the application due to residential adjacency. But since we have streets that separate this property from any residential properties, they're not needed. And so the signage on the site is allowed to go up to 50 feet. So that one on Dean Martin would be allowed by right at the 50 foot height.
Okay.
All right. With that, I appreciate the request. I asked for some additional information. I appreciate what you've presented here today. However, I do think 70 is probably a bit excessive and so I'm gonna go ahead and with the withdrawals of waivers 1a and 1b I'll go ahead and move for approval of agenda item number 28 C or 28 1 C With a maximum height of 60 feet rather than 70. That's acceptable.
Thank you There's a motion cash your vote Motion is adopted.
Next item is twenty nine E. T. dash twenty six dash four zero zero zero four six U. C. dash twenty three dash zero five four zero holdover use permit first extension of time to allow a cannabis establishment cultivation in conjunction with an existing office warehouse building waivers of development standards for the following one eliminate street landscaping and detached sidewalks to security fence setback three full offset improvements for unscreened mechanical equipment and five access gate setback. design review for cannabis establishment, cultivation on 2.7 acres in an IL zone, generally located east of Redwood Street and north of Comer Road within Enterprise.
Welcome.
Morning, commissioners. My name is Adam Fulton with the law firm of Jennings and Fulton. My address is 2580 Sorrel Street. I'm counsel of record for Gomer Road 6670 LLC and the Cure Company, who have a Nevada cannabis cultivation license. We are requesting approval of the first extension of the SUP. The property is located at 6670 Gomer Road in an industrial light zone. It's right by the railroad tracks, kind of down by the south part of town. The original application was unanimously approved here in front of you on October 4th, 2023. Since that, the client has had massive theft. All the copper was stripped out of the property. The property was completely vandalized, and so they're in the process of trying to solve that problem and move forward. So for that reason, we're requesting an extension of time for this SUP. In addition, the client paid all the fees for the tree fund. And again, we appreciate the commissioners working with us on the tree fund. I think that's a great program for our community, and I think that went over well. So unless you have any questions, again, we appreciate staff working with us and the recommendations.
Thank you. This is a public hearing. Anyone wishing to come forward at this time, we ask that you do so. Seeing no one, we'll close the public hearing and turn it over to Commissioner Jones.
Thank you, Mr. Vice Chair. Mr. Pazian, do you have any other further comments or good to go? Thank you, Commissioner.
I think we're okay. I've sat down with you to determine what the off-sites in this area is going to look like, and I think we determined east of Redwood would be curb gutter and streetlights. We do have a condition for them. The original condition was the applicant to pay a contribution for roadway. and utilities, and since we've reduced it, that amount would be reduced as well when they coordinate with us for that payment.
Okay, understood. Absolutely. All right, with that, we'll go ahead and move for approval of agenda item number 29.
There's a motion, please cast your vote. Motion is adopted. Thank you. Thank you.
The next item on the agenda is number 32, which is companion with 33, you know, be heard together. 32 is VS 26-0368, vacate and abandon a portion of right-of-way being Spring Mountain Road located between Valley View Boulevard and Procyon Street within Paradise. And 33 is WS26-0367, waivers of development standards for the following. One, eliminate street landscaping. Two, eliminate buffering and screening. Three, eliminate and reduce parking lot landscaping. Four, modify driveway geometrics. And five, allow an attached sidewalk. Design review for proposed commercial building on 0.72 acres in a CG zone, generally located north of Spring Mountain Road and east of Valley View Boulevard within Paradise.
Good morning. Welcome. There's a handheld mic right in front of you.
Sorry, I moved this up in the agenda, so we're getting on here. All right. Okay. We'll start with the site. First of all, my name is Jared LeBeau, with the architecture firm LeBeau Design, 8607 West Sahara Avenue, representing the applicants, Harsh Properties, now known as Schnitzer Properties. So we're proposing to do a 5,000 plus retail building on the site on Spring Mountain and Valley View. As you can see, the use is harmonious with the area. We really don't have any issues with that. We're well oriented within a transit center. We're developing a use that makes very good sense for the site. It's actually a fairly tight site, so we try to kind of make the most of that. can discuss some of the waivers that we're asking for as a result. And some of them are actually kind of unique to this site. So the first one that we're discussing is the commercial driveway. We're asking for a waiver of our typical departure distance because, let's see. You can see. We have to arrive on the site along Valley View Boulevard. Unfortunately, we've worked public works and there's no way to get a commercial driveway on Spring Mountain Road. As a result, putting on Valley View Boulevard, you can see we don't have a large site. So there's just nowhere to put that drive, that commercial drive entrance except to the back northwest corner of that site, which is what we've done. So for that reason, we're asking for the waiver of departure distance. Otherwise, we effectively have no way into our site. That's really the only entrance we can have. So that's one of the waivers we are requesting. Another kind of interesting thing that's happening with the site, we're asking for a waiver of our 15 foot landscape for our detached sidewalk and landscape buffer that we would have along Spring Mountain Road. So this was interesting. We actually designed the site originally to have that on our site. And as we had gone through the planning process with planning and zoning, Public Works had brought to our attention a Public Works project that they're using to improve the Spring Mountain Road and that corridor, as you're well aware. So it was asked essentially that we accommodate for what will be a realignment of that road. Typically, an improvement project takes away land. This is one of those odd conditions where they're actually essentially decreasing the size of the right-of-way. As a result, what we did was we worked out our site to where we would basically bring our site forward and then the rest of the site that was gonna be part of the improvement project, the detached sidewalk and the landscape areas would actually be part of the county's improvement project. an odd condition with the exception of one one area which you can see right here kind of in our southeast corner of the site where we are providing landscape again we originally designed the site to have this on our site but in going back and forth with county public works had requested that we effectively accommodate for the improvement project which is why we're asking for that waiver so it's kind of an odd waiver to ask for because we otherwise would have had it but we're moving it back because of the improvement so hopefully that makes sense and we can speak to that a little bit more I think, let's see, what else do we have? We have another landscape waiver that we're asking for onsite. We're asking for a small landscape waiver for an island that we would have next to our trash enclosure to accommodate our six parking stalls. In doing so, we don't have to ask for a parking waiver. We're able to meet the parking that's required for this development, so kind of a small ask, we think, to accommodate that next to our trash enclosure. That is the crux of what we're asking for. I'll certainly open that up for questions.
Thank you. This is a public hearing. Anyone wishing to come forward at this time? Seeing no one, we'll close the public hearing and turn it over to Commissioner Jones.
Thank you, Mr. Vice Chair. I appreciate the applicant working with our public works team to try and accommodate what's a very tight site and to make it harmonious with our proposed phase three improvements on Spring Mountain. Mr. Posian, did you have any, I know we talked about different languages in the future, but I think we're just going to use what we got right now, right?
Thank you, Commissioner. Yeah, so because we do have a project in the future, we're not going to ask them to apply for a waiver to keep the attached sidewalks when we have a project that's going to reconstruct the whole frontage on Spring Mountain. And then as for the driveway on Valley View, they've put it as far north as possible, so we're okay with it and appreciate their willingness to help us.
Very good. With that, I'll go ahead and move for approval. Agenda items 32 and 33.
Motion is adopted.
Items 34 through 40 have been held. Next item is 41, WS-26-0113, holdover waiver of development standards for modified driveway geometrics, design review for a resort hotel on a 26.11 acre portion of 35.11 acres and a CR zone within the airport environs, AE60 overlay, generally located south of Tropicana Avenue and east of Las Vegas Boulevard south within Paradise.
Good morning.
Good morning, Mr. Vice Chair. I don't know if staff had anything else to read in. That was it? Okay. Good morning, Mr. Vice Chair, Commissioners. My name's Rory Reed. I'm an attorney. I'm here on behalf of Bally's. With me is Nick Tomasino, the Senior Vice President of the company that's in charge of all the development. In the audience is Doug Thornley, who you know has worked significantly on this project. He's with Holland and Hart, and Dave Hau-Raila, please say that correctly, Hau-Raila from Marnell, our architect, is here. This project will enliven one of the most important corners in our community. It will help us welcome another venerable sports franchise to town. The town board approved this application unanimously and the staff has recommended approval as you heard. We're talking about the 35 acres south of, I'm directionally challenged, so it's south of Tropicana and east of the strip. The nine acres in the center of this property is where the A's ballpark is currently rising from the desert and Bally's is committed to developing the balance of the property. Before you as an application for a resort hotel and a casino and other retail entertainment and dining opportunities and associated uses. And I think what's really important today is that we make a clear record because this is a, uh... community problem that we're solving here today the stadium is nearly forty feet above grade and if we don't uh... do something uh... to uh... expedite development there it will be impossible for people to get from the street to the stadium as you know this has been held a number of times because we've awaited of the project, and we've worked with comprehensive planning. I want to particularly thank Jennifer Ammerman for her help, Public Works, the Department of Aviation, and I want to thank Commissioner Gibson for his leadership on this to find a solution to how to get people from here to there as quickly as we can. As I said, I want to create a clear record because we're asking that you approve only portions of the application that's in front of you. On the screen you'll see a rendering of the project. The bulk of Bally's development is on the western part of the property where I'm indicating here along Tropicana. This is structured parking. retail entertainment and dining opportunities, shared facilities, and a plaza that will help deliver people from the street to this area and then to the stadium. We affectionately call this the Northwest Podium. So when I say Northwest Podium, that's what I'm referring to this area. Southwest of the stadium in this area is where the hotel and casino are planned in a subsequent phase. We're now here to seek approval to use that property as surface parking until the hotel and casino and other uses are approved and constructed. And to the southwest corner of the property is a standalone 2,500 seat theater which will house a very unique, you think Vegas, you've seen everything in Vegas, well you haven't seen this yet and I wish I could tell you about it but I can't. But that's also part of the project that we seek approval from today. I also want to show you a master plan phasing plan. The Northwest podium, first I should say that what you see in green is what the A's have already had approved. In yellow, various shades of yellow, 2A is the Northwest podium that I referred to. 2B is in the area where the resort and casino, the hotel and casino will ultimately be and where the surface parking will be located in the interim. And 2C is the theater that I referred to. The parking counts that will be provided with this portion of the development is also included on this exhibit and I'm going to have submitted and will ask that the rendering and this master plan phasing plan be included in the record just so everyone understands what we're approving here today. In short, today we are asking you to approve the waivers requested in the application and the initial phase of the development shown as 2A, 2B, and 2C here. And we're asking that the balance of the application, the hotel casino portion, not be prejudiced in any way by this approval if you're gracious enough to grant it today. And that the balance of the application be held for 30 days and hopefully, Within that time, we'll finally get the FAA clearance so we can proceed on the entire project. I have had a lot of conversations with your staff on the preliminary staff conditions that are recommended. I just wanted to clarify that the conditions related to the design review and the development agreement will be deleted that the performance agreement will be phased for the various portions of the project. And on the Department of Aviation Conditions, clarify that bullets seven and eight are deleted because they relate to the hotel. And having said all that, if staff doesn't have anything else, we'll make ourselves available for your questions and we're here to respectfully seek your approval of the items I described. Thank you.
Thank you. This is a public hearing. Anyone wishing to come forward at this time? Seeing no one, we'll close the public hearing and turn it over to Commissioner Kirkpatrick.
Thank you, Mr. Vice Chair. Mr. Gibson, as well as Bally's, has been working with our staff, so I think there's some conditions, and maybe, Jen, it'd be best if you and Public Works read the conditions into the record.
sure thank you um as mr reed said we're going to delete under comprehensive planning the first three bullet points because they do refer to the resort hotel we will clarify that the phasing the performance agreement and decommissioning plan will just show the decommissioning for phase two that we're talking about which is the podium and the theater I agree with what he said about the airport conditions, and I just want to add in that for comprehensive planning, the surface parking shown on phase 2B shall be constructed prior to certificate of occupancy for phase 2A. Certificate of Occupancy for Phase 2A, which is the Northwest Podium, shall be issued prior to or simultaneously with 2C, which is the theater. And then if the theater in Phase 2C is not constructed, the applicant shall coordinate with staff to ensure the area is properly graded and secured to maintain safe access for patrons of the ballpark and Northwest Podium. I also just want to clarify that signage is not part of this application. We'll have to come back for any signage.
And if I can, I just want to say that we agreed all that.
It's always helpful when that's the case. Do you have any, Antonia, that you would like to read in?
Thank you, Commissioner. I don't have anything to add, but I know because time is of the essence, and to help expedite this development or this podium to catch up with what's already being constructed, we've allowed certain permits to move forward. So I ask that they just work with the building department and my team to get construction going sooner than later, which means we get to deal with the civil plans a little bit later so they can start.
And I'm sure Commissioner Gibson will be all over it. So with that, and everybody is clear on what the conditions are, I would make a motion for approval.
We have a motion for approval. Commissioner, sorry, excuse me.
And hold the resort hotel portion until September 16th? Correct.
We have a motion on the floor. Please cast your vote. Motion is adopted.
Thank you very much. Next on the agenda is number 42, which is companion with 43 and 44, and they'll be heard together. 42 is WS-26-0332, holdover waivers of development standards for the following. One, reduce back of curb radius, and two, modified private street sections in conjunction with proposed single family residential subdivision on 32.36 acres in an RM zone, generally located east of Sloan Lane and north of Vegas Valley Drive within Sunrise Manor. Number 43 is PUD-26-0329, holdover planned unit development for 337 single-family detached residential lots with modified development standards on 32.36 acres in an RM-18 zone, generally located east of Sloan Lane and north of Vegas Valley Drive within Sunrise Manor. And number 44 is TM-26-500-086. Holdover tentative map consisting of 337 single-family residential lots and 55 common lots on 32.36 acres in an RM-18 zone, generally located east of Sloan Lane and north of Vegas Valley Drive within Sunrise Manor.
Good morning, Commissioners. Denicio Gordillo, 204 Belle Isle Court, Henderson, Nevada, 89012, here on behalf of the applicant for items 42, 43, and 44. As you can see on the overhead here, it kind of gives you some perspective, some context. It's a 32-acre development, same thing that you have in your agenda item, agenda packets, north side of Vegas Valley Drive. east side of Sloan, and then we're bounded by flood control channel on the north and kind of east side. Total 32 acres, and it's more or less an extension of our very popular development on the south side of Vegas Valley Drive, which we call Independence. MAYBE ITS OWN DEVELOPMENT, MAYBE AN EXTENSION, BUT CURRENTLY IT IS AN EXTENSION OF THE INDEPENDENCE PROJECT. SO WHAT WE HAVE BEFORE YOU TONIGHT OR THIS MORNING IS A QUALITY, ATTAINABLE HOUSING, HIGHER DENSITY, SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT. HOW WE WERE ABLE TO ACHIEVE THAT is what you have on item 43 which is the pud the plan you development so that's a mechanism that allows us to present forth our own modified development standards and in exchange we provide amenities that we wouldn't otherwise normally provide under the the traditional base zoning district for for this area some of the things that we're providing is an inordinate amount of open space if you look at the numbers in your agenda packet we're providing over 500% of the required open space on this development. Pocket parks, one overall park, of course we have connectivity. While the lots each have a minimum of two parking spaces onsite, we are also providing a substantial amount of visitor parking that's distributed throughout the development. In addition to the onsite and visitor parking, we also have wide 43 foot wide streets with a sidewalk on one side. which also allows on-street parking. And finally, if you look at the kind of the light blue color here, that's where it shows all the sidewalks on one side of the street. We have a substantial amount of connectivity that provides access from all the individual lots to all the open space that we have distributed throughout the site as well. So we are also showing detached sidewalks along Vegas Valley and detached sidewalks along Slow Lane. Sunrise Manor Town Board recommended approval, unanimous approval based on what we've presented, and we would respectfully request your approval this morning as well.
Thank you. This is a public hearing. Anyone wishing to come forward at this time? Welcome.
Test, test.
Excuse me, I don't want to ruin that microphone.
My name is Al Rojas. I live in Sunrise Manor. I approve this project. I think it's going to be something very good for our community. As you know, we have a police department that's being done. It's going to be staffed very recently, in the near future. What I do want to point out here to the commissioners is what I really like about this project is we have room for kids. Now, I'm part of a neighborhood watch program that we started about three and a half years ago in an HOA. You're not going to believe it, but our best participants of our neighborhood watch program are kids. Why are the kids so important? Because in their area, they're patrolling. They keep our area safe, and they keep us informed of any kids that are going in there and destroying property. As you know, in the community, a lot of people in HOAs are complaining, especially in senior citizens areas, that kids are going in there and kicking doors and creating a bunch of havoc. Well, our kids in our area are keeping our area safe. So my recommendation is for all of us that are developing here who think about the future of the valley should be thinking about kids. This is a great development. I do recommend that they put a gate on it. A gate would really help keep a lot of the homeless, as you know. We got a wash back here. That is an issue that we have to try to keep everybody in their lane. We're trying to help the homeless in our community, get them the services that they want, but we can't just make it easy for them to be all over the community. So again, great project. I love the thing for the kids. Let's keep thinking about our kids. They're our future. They're our future safety here in the Valley. Thank you very much.
Thank you. We'll close the public hearing and turn it over to Commissioner Segerblum.
Thank you. And to Antonio, we've worked with them and we're okay with the current plans.
We are, Commissioner. Thank you. So they're constructing an inverted crown road, and that's to meet the minimum drainage elevation criteria for a finished floor of their housing. So we're okay with it.
All right. Well, I'm going to move for approval. This company, Touchstone, is building 1,500 townhomes just across the street. They know the market. They know the group they're trying to deal with. They've said that even though their townhomes are doing well, there's a desire for single-family homes at the same price level, and that's what we're building here. So it's a lot of houses, but honestly, that's what we're trying to do here is provide housing for... you know, affordable housing, and that's what this is. So I would move for approval, but does anyone have, I would move for approval.
There's a motion, please cast your vote. Motion is adopted.
Thank you, Commissioner. Items 45 and 46 were held. Next item is 47, WS-26-0385, Waiver of Development Standards to Increase Retaining Wall Height in Conjunction with the Previously Approved Single Family Residential Development on 5.17 Acres in an RS 3.3 Zone, generally located south of Rochelle Avenue and west of El Capitan Way within Spring Valley.
Welcome.
Good morning, Mr. Chairman, Commissioner Stephanie Gronauer, 1980 Festival Plaza Drive. Here on behalf of the applicant, Lenar Holmes, if I could direct your attention to the overhead. This is an already approved project at El Capitan and Rochelle. It's really kind of a cleanup item. We had walls, increased retaining that was approved on the east side and on the north side. We also need a little bit on the south side and the west side as well. Town Board unanimously approved it, and we very much appreciate your approval today so we can continue with the project.
Thank you. This is a public hearing. Anyone wishing to come forward at this time? Seeing no one, we'll close the public hearing and turn it over to Commissioner Jones. Thank you, Mr. Vice Chair. Move approval, agenda item number 47. There's a motion for approval. Please cast your vote. Motion is adopted. Thank you.
Okay.
And items 48 through 59 have been held. That brings us to item number 60, which is a companion with 61. They'll be heard together. Item 60 is ZC-26-0326, zone change to reclassify 0.47 acres from an RS-20 zone. to a CG zone, generally located north of Patrick Lane and east of Pecos Road within Paradise. 61 is WS-26-0327, waivers of development standards for the following. One, reduce and eliminate buffering and screening. Two, modify residential adjacency standards. Three, allow an attached sidewalk to remain. And four, modify uniform standard drawings. Design review for a proposed office building on 0.47 acres in a CG zone. within the airport environs, AE60 overlay, generally located north of Patrick Lane and east of Pecos Road within Paradise.
Good morning.
You'll need the microphone, sir.
Joey DeBlanco, 2251 North Rampart Boulevard, here on behalf of the applicant. Since the town board approval, we've gone to the neighbors, we've resolved all their issues, and we've also agreed to seven additional conditions that were prepared by District G, and we're okay with those. So if you have any other additional questions, I'd be happy to answer them.
Thank you. This is a public hearing. Anyone wishing to come forward at this time? Seeing no one, we'll close the public hearing and turn it over to Commissioner Kirkpatrick.
Thank you, Mr. Vice Chair. So on behalf of Commissioner Gibson and his office, there are seven additional conditions. I'll read them into the record. So the first condition says the screen wall height along the north property line to be a maximum of seven feet in height measured with the highest property. So you're going to update the plan to reflect that, correct? Okay, perfect. Okay, number two is the retaining screen wall along the north property line to be constructed entirely on APN 16131-203-011. Retaining walls to be waterproof to prevent irrigation water damage. Number three, existing iron fence along the north property line to be removed by the applicant. Item number four, storage containers need to be relocated to allow installation of new walls. A temporary construction fence be installed on APN 16131203023 until a new wall is constructed. The next condition is the full cost of construction on the new screening and retaining walls is to be paid by the property owner of APN 16131203. Number six, property owners for APNs 161, 31, 203, 011, and 161, 31, 203, 023 agree to request to eliminate the required landscape buffer. along the north property line. And the last condition is prior to a building permit submittal, property owner of APN 16131203011 agrees to submit plans to the property owner at APN 16131203-023 to verify the northern walls meet a signed agreement. Is that clear?
It is.
All right, and if you've agreed to all those conditions, I would make a motion for approval.
Here's a motion for approval. Please cast your vote. Motion is adopted.
next item is 62 which is companion with 63 and they'll be heard together 62 is zc-26-0361 zone change to reclassify 1.15 acres from an h2 zone to a cg zone generally located on the west side of boulder highway south of desert and road within paradise And 63 is UC-26-0362, use permit to allow outdoor storage, waiver of development standards to modify residential adjacency standards, design review for an existing office with proposed site modifications and outdoor storage in conjunction with an existing building on 1.15 acres in a CG zone, generally located south of Desert Inn Road and west of Boulder Highway within Paradise.
Good morning, commissioners. Kip Barton, 8985 Southeastern, on behalf of the applicant. This project is basically a repurposing of an existing building that has not been used for 20 years, repurposing it to be a construction company's offices. They'd like to put a storage yard behind the property along Boulder Highway here. We're asking for a waiver of standards for that storage yard. The applicant is putting in the required 8-foot wall adjacent to the residential in the back. They also are required to put a 15-foot landscape buffer with a double row of trees in that buffer. We're also going to add extra landscape buffer and an extra row of trees in that area to buffer it even better. The applicant is going to use the yard for storage building materials that are not used on buildings, but they're not going to stack any higher than the eight foot. The only equipment they have out there would be a forklift, which would be used max three to five hours a week. And it would just be a small forklift to unload a truck. That's basically the project. We were approved by town board and we appreciate your approval.
Thank you. This is a public hearing. Anyone wishing to come forward at this time? Say no and we'll close the public hearing and turn it over to Commissioner Saverland.
Thank you. As the applicant said, it's been vacant for 20 years. It's about time we did something there. So I'm really appreciative of these guys coming down and doing this. We've worked on the buffer to the back there so the residences won't be impacted. And it's just a welcome project for Boulder Highway to take care of some of those vacant lands. So I would move for approval.
There's a motion for approval. Please cast your vote. Motion is adopted. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you, and I'd also like to add on that I'd like to direct staff to accept the application for the massage facility at the Bend.
Understood.
This is the last time set aside for public comment. Anyone wish to come forward at this time?
Good morning, commissioners. I was here for items 14 and 15 in reference to the proposed monorail that's in here. And the reason, I have questions on it. I represent the owner that has some properties located in that area, and I just wanted some clarification of how far it's coming down and where it's running. We were sent, we were sent these two maps and our properties are located off of Flamingo in the Rochelle area, so that's why I was asking how this is gonna impact that area around the Palms Hotel.
If you wanna hang back, you can meet with Commissioner Sagerblum or his staff after the meeting. Okay. And I believe also it's Commissioner Knapp, so you can reach out to his staff as well. Okay.
Thank you.
Again, this is Janet Kane. On item 12, I'd like a clarification. I would like to have that removed from the sort of way that you were approving all that. I'd like for you guys to take a look at that issue. They want to, they're asking for a waiver on the buffering and the screening. You know, this has been going on since January of last year, 25, and it's just impacted our neighborhood. You just got to almost go out there to review what's going on. because it's just ridiculous. We have two schools, three schools, none of them at capacity. Why did we even entertain bringing in a charter school and destroying something that was working very well for our community because The buses would drop children off after school. Their parents would be, they'd be safe there at the Lide Memorial till the parents could pick them up. It just, they have absolutely devastated that neighborhood. It's terrible. And this is where I have my home. Not only just me, you know, this is a little private street we're on, 13 homes. And the elderly people like myself, there's a couple of children on the block. There's one lady that's a widow, a black lady that lives, you know, we have a whole city block there. It's our black church in town. We don't have a problem with stuff like that. But we do have a problem with this school. You talk about border walls. How about a wall that's going to eliminate people coming from out of town and utilizing, I see in the paper this week, this school. here in town, teachers that signed up to help us out when we needed additional teachers, now they're displaced. Enrollments have dropped, so they don't need all this extra staffing. But a lot of the staffing that caused that was probably some of these charter schools that come in and grab some of our teachers. It's just such a mess, but I wish that you'd pull that off of that. from the agenda that you approved all those and revisit that number 12, we definitely need to have all the things that they promised us when they first proposed this, they want to do away with? This isn't fair. Who's looking at this stuff? You know, to get in and out of my street, it's just a nightmare. I know three minutes, I understand all that. But somebody needs to be looking into these things before they make headlines. Not right. I think you all could agree you wouldn't want to live under these circumstances. Especially that unit was built with donated labor. Everybody wanted that for their children, their grandchildren, or what have you. And now they propose to buy it from the city.
Thank you so much.
That's right. Thank you. That's our tax dollars, not Florida's.
Thank you.
Thank you.
All right. Anyone else wishing to come forward at this time? Seeing no one else, we will adjourn this meeting. Thank you.
