Staff Report Page One
** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing to expand an existing Towing/Impound Yard on the northeast

corner of A Street and Washington Avenue.
ISSUES
x The applicant is requesting a LI/R (Light Industry / Research) land use designation
and a M (Industrial) zoning designation on a portion of the subject site. This parcel
was previously Union Pacific Railroad right of way, but is now privately owned.
x A Variance to allow an eight-foot solid wall where five feet is the maximum allowed
with only the bottom two feet solid in the front setback area. Staff supports the
variance.
x A Special Use Permit (SUP-70714) has been requested to allow the expansion of a
Towing/Impound Yard without asphalt paving for operable vehicles in the storage
yard. This would continue the condition of the existing storage yard and staff
supports the request.
x A Site Development Plan Review (SDR-70720) for an Impound/Towing Yard
expansion has been requested and is supported by staff.
x Waivers to allow a zero-foot-wide landscape buffer where eight feet is required on
internal property lines and 15 feet is required along rights of way (Washington
Avenue, A Street and the Union Pacific Railway) has been requested and is
supported by staff.
x The site plan submitted depicts the wall being constructed within the right of way
adjacent to the southeast corner of the site. A condition requires documentation of a
legal right to build in that right of way, or that all improvements be on private property
owned by the applicant.
ANALYSIS
A portion of the subject site is currently designated as ROW (Right of Way) for both its
land use and its zoning. The applicant is proposing to amend the general plan to have
a LI/R (Light Industry / Research) land use designation and to rezone that parcel to M
(Industrial). The remainder of the site is already guided and zoned similarly.
PB
Staff Report Page Two
The (L/I) Light Industry/ Research category allows areas appropriate for clean, low-
intensity (non-polluting and non-nuisance) industrial uses, including light manufacturing,
assembling and processing, warehousing and distributions, and research, development
and testing laboratories. Typical supporting and ancillary general uses are also allowed.
This category may also allow mixed-use development with a residential component as a
transition to less-intense uses where appropriate.
The M (Industrial) zoning district is intended to provide for heavy manufacturing

industries in locations where they will be compatible with and not adversely impact
adjacent land uses. This district is intended to be located away from all residential
development. The M District is consistent with the Light Industry/Research category of
the General Plan.
The applicant is proposing to expand an existing Towing/Impound yard that is operating

on the parcels to the north of the subject site. The applicant is proposing to continue
the same perimeter treatment with this expansion. As such they have requested a
Variance (VAR-70718) to allow an eight-foot solid wall where five feet is the maximum
height with the first two feet solid. Staff supports this request as it is consistent with the
existing Towing/Impound Yard and will provide appropriate screening and security.
Further, the applicant has requested waivers to allow zero-foot-wide perimeter
landscaping where eight feet is required along property lines, expanding to fifteen feet
wide along rights of way. The site is adjacent to A Street, Washington Avenue, and the
Union Pacific Railway which would therefore require 15 feet of landscaping on the
south, west and east property lines. The applicant is proposing to have zero feet to
match the perimeter treatment of the existing Towing/Impound Yard. Staff supports this
request as it will be consistent with the existing Towing/Impound Yard.
The site plan submitted by the applicant depicts the proposed wall crossing a portion of
right of way that is not owned by applicant in the southeast corner of the site. The area
in question is at the top of a large retaining wall for Washington Avenue and leaving it
without a wall would create an attractive nuisance. Staff has included a condition that
requires the applicant to demonstrate a legal right to construct the wall within that right
of way, or the wall would be required to be constructed entirely on private property
owned by the applicant.
The Towing/Impound Yard use is defined as A lot or building used for the storage of
damaged, wrecked or impounded motor vehicles for a limited period of time, usually
awaiting insurance adjustment, transport to a repair shop, or recovery by the owner or
operator. The proposed use meets the definition as it will be an expansion of an
existing Towing/Impound Yard which is currently licensed and operating in the city.
PB
Staff Report Page Three
A Towing/Impound Yard is permitted in the M (Industrial) zoning district as a conditional

use. The applicant would like to continue the same treatment as the existing
Towing/Impound Yard facility of which this project is an expansion. As such, they are
requesting to not pave the areas used for the parking and storage of operable vehicles.
This is a requirement of the Conditional Use and therefore they have requested a
Special Use Permit in accordance with Title 19.12.040 (B).
The Towing/Impound Yard does not include any specific requirements in Title 19.12.
The LI/R (Light Industry / Research) land use designation and a M (Industrial) zoning
designation match the surrounding properties on the west and north and are compatible
with the commercially guided and zoned properties south of Washington Avenue and
east of the Union Pacific Railway. Further, the Variance (VAR-70718), Special Use
Permit (SUP-70714) and Site Development Plan Review (SDR-70720) will allow the
applicant to expand their Towing/Impound Yard with the same perimeter treatment and
surfacing as the existing facility. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the proposed
Towing/Impound Yard expansion.
FINDINGS (GPA-70710)
Section 19.16.030(I) of the Las Vegas Zoning Code requires that the following
conditions be met in order to justify a General Plan Amendment:
1. The density and intensity of the proposed General Plan Amendment is

compatible with the existing adjacent land use designations,
The proposed LI/R (Light Industry / Research) general plan designation will match
the surrounding parcels on two sides, and is compatible with the commercially
designated parcels to the east and south of the site across Washington Avenue
and the Union Pacific Railway.
2. The zoning designations allowed by the proposed amendment will be

compatible with the existing adjacent land uses or zoning districts,
The proposed M (Industrial) zoning designation will match the surrounding parcels
on two sides, and is compatible with the commercially zoned parcels to the east
and south of the site across Washington Avenue and the Union Pacific Railway.
3. There are adequate transportation, recreation, utility, and other facilities to

accommodate the uses and densities permitted by the proposed General
Plan Amendment; and
PB
Staff Report Page Four
The uses permitted in the proposed LI/R (Light Industry / Research) general plan
designation will have appropriate access to transportation and utilities as the site
is located adjacent to Washington Avenue with access via A Street.
4. The proposed amendment conforms to other applicable adopted plans and

policies.
The proposed LI/R (Light Industry / Research) general plan designation conforms
to the adopted plans and policies of the City of Las Vegas.
FINDINGS (ZON-70712)
In order to approve a Rezoning application, pursuant to Title 19.16.090(L), the Planning

Commission or City Council must affirm the following:
1. The proposal conforms to the General Plan.
The proposed M (Industrial) zoning district will conform with the proposed LI/R
(Light Industry / Research) general plan designation.
2. The uses which would be allowed on the subject property by approving the
rezoning will be compatible with the surrounding land uses and zoning
districts.
The uses permitted in the proposed M (Industrial) zoning designation will be the
same as the property to the north and west, and will be compatible with the
commercial zoning designations across Washington Avenue and the Union
Pacific Railway.
3. Growth and development factors in the community indicate the need for or
appropriateness of the rezoning.
The proposed M (Industrial) zoning district will allow industrial uses that support
the employment and tax base for the City of Las Vegas.
4. Street or highway facilities providing access to the property are or will be

adequate in size to meet the requirements of the proposed zoning district.
The subject site is adjacent to Washington Avenue, and will have access to
Washington Avenue via A Street through an adjacent parcel. Washington Avenue
is a collector street that also provides access to Interstate 15. These facilties are
more than adequate for a property of this size.
PB
Staff Report Page Five
FINDINGS (VAR-70718)
In accordance with the provisions of Title 19.16.140(B), Planning Commission and City
Council, in considering the merits of a Variance request, shall not grant a Variance in
order to:
1. Permit a use in a zoning district in which the use is not allowed;

2. Vary any minimum spacing requirement between uses;
3. Relieve a hardship which is solely personal, self-created or financial in nature.
Additionally, Title 19.16.140(L) states:

Where by reason of exceptional narrowness, shallowness, or shape of a specific
piece of property at the time of enactment of the regulation, or by reason of
exceptional topographic conditions or other extraordinary and exceptional
situation or condition of the piece of property, the strict application of any zoning
regulation would result in peculiar and exceptional practical difficulties to, or
exceptional and undue hardships upon, the owner of the property, a variance
from that strict application may be granted so as to relieve the difficulties or
hardship, if the relief may be granted without substantial detriment to the public
good, without substantial impairment of affected natural resources and without
substantially impairing the intent and purpose of any ordinance or resolution.
The applicant is proposing to continue the existing conditions of the Towing/Impound

Yard to the north of which this project is an expansion. The existing wall is eight feet
solid and the applicant wishes to continue that condition to maintain the appearance
and provide the necessary security for the yard.
FINDINGS (SUP-70714)
In order to approve a Special Use Permit application, per Title 19.16.110(L) the Planning
Commission and City Council must affirm the following:
1. The proposed land use can be conducted in a manner that is harmonious

and compatible with existing surrounding land uses, and with future
surrounding land uses as projected by the General Plan.
The proposed use is an expansion of an existing Towing/Impound Yard which has

been operating at the site for some time, the use can therefore be conducted in a
harmonious manner.
2. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use
proposed.
PB
Staff Report Page Six
The site plan submitted indicates that the site is suitable for use as a
Towing/Impound Yard expansion.

adequate in size to meet the requirements of the proposed use.
The project will add approximately 69 trips per day on Washington Avenue, A
Street and Main Street. Washington Avenue is anticipated to remain at 47
percent capacity, Main Street will rise to 31 percent of capacity, and A Street does
not have existing traffic counts but is believed to be under capacity.
4. Approval of the Special Use Permit at the site in question will not be
inconsistent with or compromise the public health, safety, and welfare or
the overall objectives of the General Plan.
The proposed Towing/Impound Yard expansion will not compromise the public
health, safety and welfare and is a use consistent with the General Plan.
5. The use meets all of the applicable conditions per Title 19.12.
There are no specific requirements associated with a Special Use Permit for a
Towing/Impound Yard.
FINDINGS (SDR-70720)
In order to approve a Site Development Plan Review application, per Title 19.16.100(E)
the Planning Commission and/or City Council must affirm the following:
1. The proposed development is compatible with adjacent development and

development in the area;
The proposed Towing/Impound Yard expansion will match the improvements of

the existing yard to the north and is therefore compatible with adjacent
development and development in the area.
2. The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan, this Title,
and other duly-adopted city plans, policies and standards;
PB
Staff Report Page Seven
The proposed Towing/Impound Yard expansion is a use that can be permitted in

the M (Industrial) zoning district with the approval of a Special Use Permit. The
improvements comply with the requirements of Title 19 with the exception of the
requests for a variance and waivers to allow the improvements to match the
existing Towing/Impound Yard to the north.
3. Site access and circulation do not negatively impact adjacent roadways or

neighborhood traffic;
Access to the site will be obtained through the existing Towing/Impound Yard to
the north and will not have a negative impact on traffic.
4. Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the
City;

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing to expand an existing Restaurant and Urban Lounge located
at 1208 South Main Street within 18b The Las Vegas Arts District.
ISSUES
x Per Title 19.16, a Major Amendment to the previously approved Special Use
Permit (SUP-71018) is required to expand the existing Urban Lounge use 129
percent.
ANALYSIS
The subject site located at 1208 South Main Street is not only within the 18b Las Vegas
Arts District, but also the Downtown Redevelopment Area. The proposed expansion and
renovation supports the Las Vegas Redevelopment Plans goals and objectives by
proposing a facility that will reflect a high level of concern for architectural, landscape,
and urban design and land use principles appropriate for attainment of the objectives of
the Redevelopment Plan.
The subject site is an existing 7,940 square-foot Restaurant and Urban Lounge that the
applicant has proposed to expand by 11,076 square feet. The expansion includes
encompassing recently vacated and acquired property to the south, as well as adding a
second story to the existing single-story building. Once completed, the newly expanded
Restaurant and Urban Lounge would be 19,016 square feet.
The first floor remodel and expansion will include new dining areas, an expanded bar
area, new covered and uncovered outdoor dining areas, mens and womens restrooms,
and an elevator leading to the new second-story addition. The expansion includes a 375
square-foot wash room which will cause the loss of one parking space. Fifteen (15)
parking spaces will remain onsite.
The second story will add additional dining area, a meeting room, new bar, kitchen, and
restroom facilities. The second floor addition also includes a balcony area where diners
can overlook Main Street and the 18b Las Vegas Arts District while they dine.
NE
SUP-71018 and SDR-71019 [PRJ-69976]
In addition to the remodel and addition, the applicant has proposed a complete facade
renovation to unite the expansion area with the existing facility, and update the facility
as a whole while maintaining their established theme. The faade improvements include
towers, pop-out elements, and bay windows to add depth and interest to the overall
appearance of the new two-story structure. At its tallest point, the newly renovated
Restaurant and Urban Lounge would be 44 feet, four inches.
The goal of the Arts District is to encourage building design that contributes to the
quality of life in an active, aesthetically considered manner. The proposed street level
design expands the existing enlivened street atmosphere by expanding the existing
exterior faade elements along Main Street and by proposing the addition of a second-
story balcony that will overlook Main Street. The proposed renovations will enhance the
visual continuity of activity from interior to the pedestrian experience outside. The
architectural details proposed include all elevations of the subject building.
In accordance with the 18b Las Vegas Arts District of the Downtown Centennial Plan,
all structures located within 18b The Las Vegas Arts District are exempted from the
automatic application of the building setbacks called for in Title 19.08. This exemption
does not prohibit the Planning Commission or the City Council from imposing a setback
in connection with the approval of a Site Development Plan. The proposed structure
will not see any significant alterations to the existing footprint, only a minor expansion of
the interior dining area to the southwest and the addition of outdoor patio dining as part
of the overall expansion to the south. The existing structure is built-to-line along the
north, south and east property lines, with the existing parking lot and outdoor patio
areas also extending to the property lines along the west and south property lines.
Residential adjacency does not apply as no residentially zoned property is within the
vicinity of the subject site, as the residential property would need to be within 133 feet of
the subject sites property lines to be applicable.
The subject site is currently served by the LVVWD (Las Vegas Valley Water District) but
does not have the required backflow prevention per NAC 445A.67195. Civil and
plumbing plans will need to be submitted to LVVWD for domestic meter sizing, fire flow
sizing and backflow retrofit.
The Department of Public Works notes that normally it would require that portions of the
existing adjacent public sidewalk path be brought up to current Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) Standards; but due to the current construction project the City has
underway for Main Street, and is in the preliminary design stages of a construction
project on California Street, upgrading the existing improvements adjacent to the
subject site is not required for this Site Development Plan Review.
NE
SUP-71018 and SDR-71019 [PRJ-69976]
According to the Traffic Division of Public Works, this project will add approximately
1,010 trips per day on Main Street, California Street, and Charleston Boulevard.
Currently, Main Street is at approximately 58 percent of capacity and Charleston is at
approximately 71 percent of capacity. With this project, Main Street is expected to be at
approximately 63 percent of capacity and Charleston Boulevard to be at approximately
73 percent of capacity. Current traffic counts are not available for California, but it is
believed to be under capacity.
Based on Peak Hour use, this development would add into the area approximately 86
additional vehicles or about three vehicles every two minutes.
Special Use Permit
The Urban Lounge use is defined as an establishment that:
1. Is licensed for the sale of alcoholic beverages for consumption on the

premises where the same are sold, and the sale, to consumers only and
not for resale, of alcoholic beverages in original sealed or corked

depicts 11 bar stools with lounge seating for 24. The second floor bar is
for service only.
3. The use is subject to the provisions of LVMC Chapter 6.40 relating to

gaming and LVMC Chapter 6.50 relating to liquor control.

wrought iron, concrete roof tiles, and stucco. These materials are appropriate for
the area and the City, no landscape materials are proposed at this time.

NE
SUP-71018 and SDR-71019 [PRJ-69976]
The proposed building elevations are not unsightly or obnoxious in appearance

and create an aesthetically pleasing environment. The proposed building
elevations will enhance the established building theme and are compatible with
the 18b Las Vegas Arts District.
The existing and proposed expansion of an Urban Lounge will continue to be

subject to regular site inspections by such agencies as the City of Las Vegas
Department of Planning, Licensing Division and the Southern Nevada Health
District.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a Special Use Permit request to allow a Beer/Wine/Cooler, On-Sale

Establishment within 400 feet of a protected land use. The subject site is located at
1745 South Rainbow Boulevard, Suite C.
ISSUES
x A Special Use Permit is required for a Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment

when the use does not meet the distance separation requirement. Staff supports
this request.
ANALYSIS
The applicant is proposing to establish a Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment use

within an existing 1,400 square-foot restaurant located within a shopping center. The
use is listed as a conditional use in the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district.
However, the applicant must obtain a Special Use Permit because the subject site is
located within 400 feet of a Church/House of Worship. The proposed Beer/Wine/Cooler
On-Sale use is approximately 384 feet from Bahai Faith Center.
Per Title 19, the Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment use is defined as An

establishment whose license to sell alcoholic beverages is limited to the sale of beer,
wine and coolers only for consumption on the premises where the same is sold. The
proposed use meets this definition as the applicant intends to operate a restaurant with
the option to sell beer, wine and cooler beverages to be consumed on site.
The Conditional Use Requirements for this use include:
1. Except as otherwise provided, any beer/wine/cooler on-sale establishment (hereinafter

establishment) must be more than 400 feet from any church/house of worship, school,
individual care center licensed for more than 12 children, or City park.
The proposed site does not meet this requirement as it is located 384 feet from a
Church/House of Worship.
CS
SUP-71072 [PRJ-68964]
2. Except as otherwise provided in Regulation 3 below, the distances referred to in

Regulation 1 shall be determined with reference to the shortest distance between
two property lines, one being the property line of the proposed establishment
which is closest to the existing use to which the measurement pertains, and the
other being the property line of that existing use which is closest to the proposed
establishment. The distance shall be measured in a straight line without regard to
intervening obstacles. For purposes of measurement, the term property line
refers to property lines of fee interest parcels and does not include the property
line of: a) Any leasehold parcel; or b) Any parcel which lacks access to a public
street or has no area for on-site parking and which has been created so as to
avoid the distance limitation described in Regulation 1.
The requirements of this condition were used to determine the distance of the
City Park from the proposed Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment.
3. In the case of an establishment proposed to be located on a parcel of at least 80

acres in size, the minimum distances referred to in Regulation 1 shall be
measured in a straight line: a) From the nearest property line of the existing use
to the nearest portion of the structure in which the establishment will be located,
without regard to intervening obstacles; or b) In the case of a proposed
establishment which will be located within a shopping center or other multiple
tenant structure, from the nearest property line of the existing use to the nearest
property line of a leasehold or occupancy parcel in which the establishment will
be located, without regard to intervening obstacles.
N/A
4. The minimum distance requirements in Regulation 1 do not apply to: a) An

establishment which has a non-restricted gaming license in connection with a
hotel having 200 or more guest rooms on or before July 1, 1992 or in connection
with a resort hotel having in excess of 200 guest rooms after July 1, 1992; or b) A
proposed establishment having more than 50,000 square feet of retail floor
space.
N/A
5. All businesses which sell alcoholic beverages shall conform to the provisions of
LVMC Chapter 6.50.
A condition of approval has been placed on the Special Use to ensure this
requirement is met.
CS
SUP-71072 [PRJ-68964]
While there is a protected land use located within 400 feet of the subject property, the
proposed Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment use will be situated within a
shopping center over 600 feet from the nearest protected land use property. There is
no direct access from the protected land use to the shopping center. Other alcohol
related uses have operated within the subject shopping center in recent years. During a
routine field check, staff found that there were illegal signage issues on the subject
building. This information has been forwarded to Code Enforcement. The approval of
this Special Use Permit will only allow customers of the restaurant to purchase an
alcoholic beverage to consume on site and it can be conducted in a manner that is
compatible with the surrounding land uses; Therefore, staff recommends approval,
subject to conditions.

The proposed Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment use can be conducted in

a manner that is harmonious and compatible with neighboring commercial and
residential uses in the area.
proposed.
The subject site is located within an existing shopping center development that is
physically suitable for the intensity of the proposed land use.

Adequate access to the site is provided by Rainbow Boulevard, an approximately

150-foot Primary Arterial as classified by the Master Plan of Streets and
Highways.
CS
SUP-71072 [PRJ-68964]
Approval of this Special Use Permit will not compromise the public health, safety
and general welfare of the public. The use will be subject to licensing restrictions
and regular inspections.
The applicant meets all conditions of Title 19 except for the distance separation
requirement, for which a Special Use Permit is being requested.

Clark County approved Zoning Case (ZC-0004-85) which allowed a
02/06/85 zoning reclassification from R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone to C-

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing to construct a 3,060 square-foot, single-story building at the

northeast corner of Adams Avenue and 4th Street to house meetings and activities in
conjunction with an existing alcoholic rehabilitation center (Samaritan House) located
at 1001 North 4th Street.
PROJECT UPDATE
These items have been held in abeyance three times by the applicant. Since the
Planning Commission hearing of June 13, 2017, the applicant has revised the site and
landscaping plan to add additional trees in front of the building and the south and west
elevations to make faade changes that would give the building more of the appearance
of an office. Staffs recommendation remains denial.
ISSUES
x The site is zoned C-V (Civic), which allows certain development standards to be
approved through a Site Development Plan Review if compatible with adjacent
properties. No waivers or exceptions are therefore required.
x A Variance is required to permit six parking spaces where 11 spaces are required.
Staff recommends denial.
x A Variance is required to permit the backing of any motor vehicle onto a public street
from the parking area along Adams Avenue as proposed. Staff recommends denial.
x Half-street improvements on Adams Avenue and 4th Street are required except as
modified by VAR-69804.
ANALYSIS
Development of the site is subject to Title 19.10 standards for developments within the
C-V (Civic) zoning district. The C-V District may provide for any public or quasi-public
use operated or controlled by any recognized religious, fraternal, veteran, civic or
service organization and is consistent with the Public Facilities category of the General
Plan. The proposed development on this site would be operated by the same entity that
operates the residential rehabilitation facility (termed an alcohol rehabilitation center
when first approved in 1967) across the street at 1001 North 4th Street. When both
sites were rezoned to C-V in 2002, the use was termed a Special Care Facility.
Neither term is used by the current version of Title 19. The proposed building would be
used as a gathering place for group meetings and special activities, characteristics that
are similar to an office use.
SS
VAR-67949 and SDR-67950 [PRJ-67708]
Through adoption of the Downtown North Land Use Plan, the General Plan designation
of the site was amended from PF (Public Facilities) to M (Medium Density Residential).
As the zoning of the property remains C-V and the use is closely affiliated with the
existing residential rehabilitation facility at 1001 North 4th Street, the proposed
development is compatible with surrounding land uses and therefore appropriate at this
location. The City, at its discretion, may opt to amend the General Plan designation to
PF at a future date in order to keep the zoning and General Plan designations
consistent.
Per Title 19.10, the minimum development standards for property in the C-V District
shall be established by the City Council in connection with the approval of a rezoning
application or in connection with the approval of a site development plan. Additional
standards relating to the height, perimeter and parking lot design and landscaping are
not applicable to this site, as it is not located adjacent to properties zoned for single-
family use. Due to the narrow width of the lot, the building is configured such that
parking must be reduced (by 45 percent from the minimum Title 19 requirement) and
located along the frontages, with three parking spaces configured to allow vehicles to
back onto Adams Avenue. Offsite improvements, including standard sidewalks, curbs
and gutters, must also be modified to allow for this configuration. The Department of
Public Works has no objection to vehicles backing out into the public right-of-way in this
situation, with the understanding that the majority of persons using the proposed
building on this site will be walking from the residential rehabilitation facility across the
street at 1001 North 4th Street. In addition, there are similar conditions in the area
where sidewalks, curbs and gutters are lacking; therefore, the Department of Public
Works also supports the proposed modification to offsite improvements, provided the
variance to allow vehicles to back out into the right-of-way (VAR-69804) is approved.
However, as the design of the building creates the necessity for reducing the number of
parking spaces and locating three of these spaces such that vehicles must back out into
the right-of-way, staff cannot support the request for both variances.
Half-street improvements are required on 4th Street and Adams Avenue adjacent to the
site. There are currently no sidewalks along the east side of 4th Street or the north side
of Adams Avenue. As part of this plan, a sidewalk is proposed at the corner of Adams
Avenue and 4th Street, with tie-ins to future sidewalks north and east of the property. In
lieu of a sidewalk along 4th Street, which is not practical given the onsite parallel
parking configuration, a pedestrian walkway is provided onsite that connects to an
accessible ramp at the corner. In a similar way, a walkway is provided behind the three
parking spaces on Adams Avenue. Pedestrian access easement(s) must be granted for
public use of these walkways.
SS
VAR-67949 and SDR-67950 [PRJ-67708]
The proposed building would consist of a painted corrugated metal exterior with a
sloped corrugated metal roof. The base of the west and south elevations would include
simulated colored stone veneer and glass doorways. A revision to the elevations dated
06/20/17 added additional stone veneer trimming around the windows on the west
faade and along the south faade to improve the aesthetic appeal where most visible
from public streets. The primary entry from 4th Street would be sheltered by a sloped
canopy. These materials are compatible with other development in this area of the city.
Landscaping will be provided on the site, mostly on the interior adjacent to the building.
One 24-inch box Chilean Mesquite tree is provided at the northwest corner of the site
for screening of mechanical equipment, and shrubs are located around the tree, in front
of the building and at the corner. The materials provided are appropriate for the site.
The use is appropriate for this site. However, the site cannot accommodate a building
of the size proposed, along with the required number of onsite parking spaces. A
smaller building constructed to the frontages would allow for the provision of onsite
spaces behind the building without forcing vehicles to back out onto a public right-of-
way. Staff therefore recommends denial of the two variances and the Site Development
Plan Review, subject to conditions. If denied, permits for development of the site as
proposed cannot be issued.

VAR-67949 and SDR-67950 [PRJ-67708]
No evidence of a unique or extraordinary circumstance has been presented, in that the

applicant has created a self-imposed hardship by proposing a building that is too large
for the site to accommodate the required parking for the proposed use. Reducing the
size of the building and altering the site design would allow conformance to the Title 19
requirements. In view of the absence of any hardships imposed by the sites physical
characteristics, it is concluded that the applicants hardship is preferential in nature, and
it is thereby outside the realm of NRS Chapter 278 for granting of Variances.

building of the size proposed, along with the required number of onsite parking
spaces.
the Design Standards Manual, the Landscape, Wall and Buffer Standards,
The configuration of the building and parking lot requires variances to permit fewer
parking spaces than required and to allow vehicles to back out into public right-of-
way. The development otherwise is consistent with development in the C-V
zoning district.

Primary access to the site is from Adams Avenue, a Minor Street. Secondary
access is provided from 4th Street by way of three parallel parking spaces. No
onsite circulation is proposed. Refuse will be picked up from a trash enclosure
located along the 4th Street frontage.
City;
Building materials consist of corrugated metal roofing and siding, stone veneer
base and aluminum and glass storefront features. These materials are
compatible with surrounding development. Landscaping consists of one Chilean
Mesquite tree and a variety of five gallon drought-tolerant shrubs labeled as
bulletproof (low maintenance) by the Southern Nevada Regional Planning
Coalition Regional Plant List.

The building elevations presented create an aesthetically pleasing environment

and are harmonious and compatible with area development.

A pre-application meeting was held to discuss submittal requirements
for a Site Development Plan Review application for a proposed
building on a vacant site. Due to size of the lot, the applicant claimed
11/10/16 that the building could not be placed at the front setback and parking
could not be located at the side or rear of the building. Variances
would therefore be required for this standard and to allow vehicles to
back into a public street.
A neighborhood meeting is not required, nor was one held.

This project will add approximately 34 trips per day on Adams Ave., 4th St., Las Vegas Blvd. and Washington Ave.
Currently, Las Vegas is at about 75 percent of capacity and Washington is at about 49 percent of capacity. With this
project, these capacities are expected to be unchanged. Counts are not available for Adams or 4th in this vicinity, but they
are believed to be under capacity.
Based on Peak Hour use, this development will add into the area roughly 5 additional cars, or about one every twelve

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing to develop a vacant parcel on the northeast corner of Dorrell
Lane and Hualapai Way into an 18-lot single family residential subdivision
ISSUES
x The Interlocal Agreement designates this site as within Planning Area B, which
states that During the term of this agreement, the areas identified as Planning Area
B must remain residential and maintain a minimum buildable lot size of 10,000
square feet and the City must not amend its land use plan, rezone such properties or
approve special or conditional use permits to allow industrial or commercial uses or
residential lots with a buildable area of less than 10,000 square feet within the areas
identified as Planning Area B. Staff is recommending denial of the proposed project
because it violates the Interlocal Agreement.
x Rezoning (ZON-70762) would rezone the property from R-E (Residence Estates) to
R-1 (Single Family Residential).
x Waiver (WVR-70763) would allow a street offset of 208 feet and 214 feet for the
proposed north/south street, where 220 foot offsets are required by Title 19.02.140.
x Vacation (VAC-70765) would vacate U.S. Government Patent Easements.
x Tentative Map (TMP-70766) would allow Connor Hills 3, an 18-lot single family
residential subdivision.
ANALYSIS
The applicant is proposing a Rezoning (ZON-70762) to R-1 (Single Family Residential)

on the subject site, which is in conformance with the R (Rural Density Residential)
general plan designation.
The purpose of the R-1 District is to provide for the development of single family
detached dwellings in a suburban setting. The R-1 District is consistent with the policies
of the Low Density Residential category of the General Plan. (The Master Plan Land
Use Designations Table also indicates that the R-1 District is consistent with the Rural
Density Residential and Medium-Low Density Residential categories.)
PB
The applicant is also proposing a Tentative Map (TMP-70766) for an 18-lot single family
residential subdivision with lot sizes ranging from 7,638 square feet to 9,494 square
feet. The existing General Plan land use designation R (Rural Density Residential) has
an allowable density of 3.59 dwelling units per gross acre, which would translate to a
maximum of 18 units on this 5.2-acre parcel.
The Interlocal Agreement designates this site as within Planning Area B, which states
that During the term of this agreement, the areas identified as Planning Area B must
remain residential and maintain a minimum buildable lot size of 10,000 square feet and
the City must not amend its land use plan, rezone such properties or approve special or
conditional use permits to allow industrial or commercial uses or residential lots with a
buildable area of less than 10,000 square feet within the areas identified as Planning
Area B. The proposed lot sizes of the Tentative Map (TMP-70766) range from 7,638
square feet to 9,494 square feet, which is in conflict with the requirements of the
Interlocal Agreement.
The applicant has requested a Waiver (WVR-70763) of Title 19.02.140 to allow offsets
for the proposed north/south street that are below the 220-foot minimum required. The
southern offset would be 214 feet and the northern offset would be 208 feet. The
applicant has also requested a Vacation (VAC-70765) to Vacate U.S. Government
Patent Easements on the property. This Vacation request should be sent to all the
utilities, as no right-of-way is proposed to be vacated, and thus no franchise rights are
involved. It is not necessary to wait for responses from any of the public utilities or other
parties interested in preserving a right in this patent easement. Since only City interests
are involved; any utility companys interests will need to be addressed with each
respective utility company and will not be affected by the City relinquishing its interest.
The submitted east/west cross sections depict maximum natural grade greater than 2%
across this site. Per the Tables in Subdivision Code 19.06.050 a development with
natural slope greater than 2%, is allowed a maximum 6-foot retaining wall. A 6-foot
maximum retaining is shown on the east and west property lines.
The submitted north/south cross section depicts maximum natural grade less than 2%
across this site. Per the Tables in Subdivision Code 19.06.050 a development with
natural slope less than 2%, is allowed a maximum 4-foot retaining wall. A 2-foot
maximum retaining wall is shown on the north property line and no retaining wall is
shown on the south property line.
Clark County School District has indicated that the proposed development will add 3
elementary school students, 1 middle school student and 2 high school students. The
schools in the area, Darnell Elementary School and Centennial High School, are over
capacity for the 2016-17 school year. Darnell Elementary School is 128.86% and
Centennial High School is 125.94% of program capacity.
PB
The Department of Public Works has provided the Average Daily Traffic (ADT) for the
proposed 18-lot single family residential subdivision and approximately 171 trips per day
on Hualapai Way, Dorrell Lane, and Deer Springs Way are anticipated. Currently,
Hualapai Way is at about 79 percent of capacity and Deer Springs Way is at about 17
percent of capacity. With this project, Hualapai Way is expected to remain at about 79
percent and Deer Springs Way at about 18 percent. Counts are not available for Dorrell
Lane in this area, but it is believed to be under capacity.
In summary, staff supports the requested Vacation as it is appropriate for the area.
However, staff finds the Rezoning, Waiver and Tentative Map to be in direct conflict with
the requirements of the Interlocal Agreement and recommends denial of these
applications.

The sites general plan designation is R (Rural Density Residential) which allows
for the proposed R-1 (Single Family Residential) zoning district.
districts.
The proposed R-1 (Single Family Residential) zoning district allows single family
residential development at a density that would be compatible with the
surrounding neighborhood, so long as the lots are a minimum of 10,000 square
feet in area in conformance with the Interlocal Agreement.
The Interlocal Agreement designates this property as within Planning Area B,

which does not allow for the creation of lots below the 10,000 square foot
minimum. Therefore, the proposed rezoning can be compatible with the growth
and development factors in the community if the 10,000 square foot lot minimum
is maintained.
PB

The project will add approximately 171 trips per day on Hualapai Way, Dorrell
Lane, and Deer Springs Way. Currently, Hualapai Way is at about 79 percent of
capacity and Deer Springs Way is at about 17 percent of capacity. With this
project, Hualapai Way is expected to remain at about 79 percent and Deer Springs
Way at about 18 percent. Counts are not available for Dorrell Lane in this area,
but it is believed to be under capacity.
FINDINGS (WVR-70763)
No substantial evidence has been presented to warrant the requested Waivers of Title
19.02.140 to allow street offsets of 2087 and 214 feet where 220 feet is required.
Therefore, staff recommends denial of this request. If approved, staff has included
recommended conditions of approval.
FINDINGS (VAC-70765)
This vacation application is a request to relinquish the City's interests in U.S.

Government Patent Reservations generally located on the north side of Dorrell Lane,
east of Hualapai Way. This Vacation request should be sent to all the utilities however,
as no right of way is proposed to be vacated, and thus no franchise rights are involved,
it is not necessary to wait for responses from any of the public utilities or other parties
interested in preserving a right in this patent easement. Since only City interests are
involved; any utility company's interests will need to be addressed with each respective
utility company and will not be affected by the City relinquishing its interest.
FINDINGS (TMP-70766)
The proposed Tentative Map is in conformance to NRS requirements for tentative

maps, however it requires a Waiver from Title 19 Development Standards and is in
conflict with the Interlocal Agreement and therefore staff recommends denial. If
approved, staff has included recommended conditions of approval.

(Class II) [Garage] in the rear yard of 4013 Tyler William Lane. The subject site is zoned
R-PD2 (Residential Planned Development 2 Units per Acre), which requires a 10-foot
side and rear yard setback for Accessory Structures. The proposed garage does not
meet the minimum rear yard setback requirement of 10 feet. The applicant is requesting
a Variance to allow a five-foot rear yard setback.
The proposed structure is a 16-foot tall, single story structure designed to match the
existing primary dwelling unit with stucco walls painted to match and a tile roof.
Due to the requested Variance being a self-imposed hardship, staff is recommending

denial of this application.
order to:

NE
VAR-70643 [PRJ-70586]


applicant has created a self-imposed hardship by proposing a structure within the
required rear yard setback area. Alternative site design or a smaller Accessory
Structure would allow conformance to the Title 19 requirements. In view of the absence
of any hardships imposed by the sites physical characteristics, it is concluded that the
applicants hardship is preferential in nature, and it is thereby outside the realm of NRS
Chapter 278 for granting of Variances.

The City Council approved a request for a Reclassification of Property
located on the northwest corner of Gilmore Avenue and Thom
10/06/93 Boulevard from R-E (Residence Estates) to R-PD3 (Residential
Planned Development) [Amended to R-PD2] for proposed single family
dwellings. The Planning Commission recommended approval.
The Planning Commission voted (5-0-1) to hold VAR-70643 [PRJ-
07/11/17 70586] in abeyance to the August 8, 2017 Planning Commission
meeting.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a Variance to allow a three-foot side and rear yard setback for a
945 square-foot Accessory Structure that consists of a 567 square-foot garage and a
378 square-foot casita at 4100 Nancy Margarite Lane.
ISSUES
x A Variance is required to allow a three-foot side and rear yard setback where 10
feet is required for a proposed Accessory Structure.
ANALYSIS
The applicant has proposed to construct a 21-foot by 45-foot Accessory Structure

(Class II) [Garage and Casita] in the rear yard of 4100 Nancy Margarite Lane in order to
provide living quarters for an elderly family member as stated by the applicant in the
justification letter. The garage portion of the accessory structure will house other
vehicles. The subject site is zoned R-PD2 (Residential Planned Development 2 Units
per Acre), which requires a 10-foot side and rear yard setback for Accessory Structures.
The proposed Accessory Structure does not meet the minimum rear or side yard
setback requirement of 10 feet. The applicant is requesting a Variance to allow a three-
foot setback for both the rear and side yard.
The proposed structure is a 16-foot tall, single story structure designed to match the
existing primary dwelling unit with stucco walls painted to match and a tile roof.
Due to the requested Variance being a self-imposed hardship, staff is recommending

denial of this application.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The request is for a Special Use Permit and a Site Development Plan Review for a
proposed six story, 133-room Residence Hotel at 824 South Decatur Boulevard.

Commercial) zoning district. Staff recommends approval of the request.
x A Site Development Plan Review has been submitted to allow a six story, 133-room
Residence Hotel. Staff recommends approval of the request.
x A previous request for a Special Use Permit (SUP-67136) and Site Development
Plan Review (SDR-67137) for a 140-room, four story Residence Hotel was
withdrawn without prejudice at the 02/01/17 City Council meeting.
x At the 07/11/17 meeting, the applicant was directed by the Planning Commission to
hold a neighborhood meeting, which was scheduled to occur on 08/02/17, after the
date of this report.
ANALYSIS
The request is for a Special Use Permit and a Site Development Plan Review for a
proposed six story, 133-room Residence Hotel at 824 South Decatur Boulevard. The
site is zoned C-2 (General Commercial) and is currently developed with an operating
Motor Vehicle Sales (Used) facility. The site is located within the Las Vegas
Redevelopment Area and the 175-foot Airport Overlay District. The site is adjacent to
an R-1 (Single-family Residential) zoned parcel to the south; however, the site is utilized
as a church, which is a non-residential use. As such, residential adjacency standards
do not apply to the subject property. The site receives access via two drives from
Decatur Boulevard, and the proposed six story building is located generally at the center
of the subject site. Surrounding the building, 133 parking spaces are provided where
133 are required, and 118 of those spaces are proposed to be covered parking.
The building elevations depict a six-story hotel building constructed of overseas

containers with glass curtain wall and concrete accents. A porte-cochere will be located
in front of the building directly over a portion of the parking area. Rooftop mechanical
equipment, if installed, will be required to be screened from view. The upper floor/roof
of the building include a swimming pool/recreation area and larger suites (included in
the 133 room total).
PB
SUP-70769 and SDR-70770 [PRJ-69479]
The applicant has requested a waiver to the requirements of Title 19.08.200 (B), to
allow a building with no changes in wall plane, color, material or relief. Staff supports
the waiver request due to the unique construction method that is being proposed; using
overseas containers for the main construction material makes providing relief and
changes in wall plane unrealistic, and the consistent colors and materials are part of the
architects efforts to provide a cohesive design.
The landscape plan depicts the required perimeter landscape buffer widths along the
property lines. These buffer areas are planted with the required 24-inch box trees every
20 feet on-center. The front-yard perimeter landscaping enhances the street front along
Decatur Boulevard in an area where landscaping is generally lacking along the right-of-
way. Tree species used include Fan Palms, Arizona Mesquites, African Sumacs, and
Rio Grande Ash. Provided shrubs include five-gallon Blue Ranger and Red Yuccas. On
some of the submitted plans the perimeter landscape buffers are depicted as having
natural grass, a condition of approval clarifies that an approved ground cover would be
required instead. The plans indicate covered parking for the vast majority of the parking
required and therefore parking lot landscaping is not required in those areas. The
applicant is considering covering the tops of the parking canopies with plantings as well.
The floor plans depict a consistent room type for the main floors of the structure and
larger suite units on the rooftop near the swimming pool. The units include kitchen
facilities and are consistent with a typical Residence Hotel room.
The proposed development is appropriate for the C-2 (General Commercial) zone and
the Las Vegas Redevelopment Area. The adjacent uses will not be adversely affected
by the proposed residence hotel, and the site is adequately buffered from the multi-
family residential development to the west and the house of worship to the south. The
proposed landscaping will enhance the Decatur Boulevard street front, and measures
have been taken to ensure that the building is aesthetically compatible with the
development in the area. Staff recommends approval of the Site Development Plan
review.
The Hotel Residence use is defined as a multi-dwelling facility for extended stay
lodging, consisting of:
1. Efficiency units or suites with a kitchen containing a refrigerator, sink and cooking
facilities (such as a stove or microwave) suitable for long term occupancy;
2. Customary hotel services such as linen, maid service, telephone and upkeep of
furniture; and
3. Optional resident and guest amenities such as meeting rooms, club house and
recreation facilities. This use does not include facilities which qualify as other
types of dwelling units defined in this Title.

The site meets the minimum Special Use Requirements of a Hotel-Residence and it is
located an appropriate location. The floor plans depict rooms with full kitchens and
private bathrooms, which are consistent with a typical Hotel Residence room. The hotel
will provide customary hotel services as required, and a pool and recreation area for
hotel guests is proposed on the roof. Staff recommends approval of the request.

Parcel 138-36-802-004 is currently served by LVVWD but the existing domestic meter is
not large enough to serve this development. Civil and plumbing plans will need to be
submitted to LVVWD for domestic meter sizing and fire flow availability. Proof of parcel
consolidation will be required prior to civil plan approval by LVVWD.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request to amend the General Plan land use designations and rezone three
parcels located at 5640, 5664 and 5686 North Rainbow Boulevard, approximately 85
feet north of Ann Road for a proposed 28,800 square-foot commercial development.
ISSUES
x A General Plan Amendment is requested to change the land use designations from
DR (Desert Rural Density Residential) and R (Rural Density Residential) to SC
(Service Commercial).
x A Rezoning is requested on this site from R-E (Residence Estates) to C-1 (Limited
Commercial).
x A Waiver is required to allow a zero-foot landscape buffer where eight feet is
required along the eastern perimeter of the subject site. Staff supports this request
due to an existing access easement for an existing well.
ANALYSIS
The subject sites are three adjacent single family detached residences which are
proposed to be merge into one lot for the development of a commercial building. In
order to accomplish this, the applicants are requesting to amend a portion of the
Northwest Sector of the Las Vegas 2020 Master Plan from R (Rural Density
Residential) and DR (Desert Rural Residential Density) to SC (Service Commercial),
and to rezone the three subject sites from R-E (Residence Estates) to C-1 (Limited
Commercial).
The applicant is proposing to construct a 28,800 square-foot commercial building. While

there is no specific tenant proposed for this development, the applicant is proposing the
development as a Retail/Grocery Establishment. If approved, the site could be
developed in any manner that is in accordance with the proposed C-1 (Limited
Commercial) zoning district and to accommodate a different land use allowed by the C-
1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district. These land uses include, but are not limited to
the following:
x Banquet Facility
x Clinic
NE
x Health Club
x Rental Store
x Restaurant
x Trade School (Includes outdoor training for such skills as large equipment
operators)
x Wedding Chapel
Once the subject site is rezoned, the property does not have to be developed in the
manner proposed; however, a Site Development Plan Review would be required. A new
application could possibly include three separate commercial developments. In
addition, all land uses permitted as of right in the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning
district would be allowed through the issuance of a business license. Additionally, all
land uses that are Conditional in the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district would be
allowed to operate once the conditions set forth by Title 19.12 were met without review
through the public hearing process. The following Conditional Uses would be able to
meet the conditions set forth by Title 19.12:
x Auto Broker
x Auto Parts Store with Accessory Installation
x Auto Smog Check
x Automobile Repossession Agency
x Building Maintenance Service and Sales
x Check Cashing Services, Limited
x Drive Through
x Hospital
x Light Assembly & Fabrication (Wholesale Printing, Stained Glass Assembly, etc.)
x Mixed-Use Development (Subject to Residential Adjacency Standards)
x Multi-Family Residential (as part of a Mixed-Use development)
x Open Air Vending
x Recreational Vehicle and Boat Storage
x Secondhand Dealer (Limited to 5,000 square feet)
x Social Service Provider
x Teen Dance Center
x Thrift Shop
There are Permitted and Conditional land uses associated with the C-1 (Limited
Commercial) zoning district are too intense and inappropriate for direct adjacency to
large-lot homes that are zoned R-E (Residence Estates) within Clark County.
NE
Due to this direct adjacency of the subject sites to property under the jurisdiction of
Clark County, staff reached out to Clark Countys Comprehensive Planning Department
and received the following feedback from management:
Thanks for the opportunity to review the proposed project. The County opposes this
request as it is in conflict with the Citys proposed Rainbow Boulevard North Corridor
Plan and its effort to maintain the low density residential character of Rainbow
Boulevard north of Ann Road. Additional commercial in this corridor is not appropriate
and will negatively affect residents in this area.
Additionally, on December 21, 2016 an Interlocal agreement between the City of Las
Vegas and Clark County was entered into to establish a joint position on corporate
boundaries, planning and public facilities/services provision. Section Two (2) of this
document for Joint Land Use Planning identifies areas to remain residential and their
allowed densities. The existing residential homes directly north and east of the subject
sites are within Planning Area A1 of this interlocal agreement ,which states, During the
term of this Agreement, the areas identified as Planning Area A1 and A2 must remain
residential and designated at a density of no greater than 2.0 Units per Gross Acre on
the Parties respective comprehensive plans. The Parties agree that they shall not
accept any General Plan Amendments (GPA) nor amend their respective
comprehensive plans, rezone such properties or approve special or conditional use
permits to allow industrial or commercial uses or residential densities above 2.0 Units
per Gross Acre and each lot will maintain a minimum buildable net lot area of at least
18,000 square feet with a goal of at least 18,500 square feet. As a result of this
agreement, the surrounding properties to the north and east of the subject sites will
remain large-lot residential homes with a maximum density of two units per acre.
Although the subject site is not included in the agreement, the proposed intensity
allowed by the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district is not compatible with the
existing surrounding rural neighborhoods.
On February 15, 2017 the City Council adopted the Rainbow Boulevard North Corridor
Plan via Resolution 7-2017. This corridor plan includes the 1.6 mile section of Rainbow
Boulevard located between Rancho Drive to the south and the CC-215 terminus to the
north, and all adjacent properties along the right-of-way. The subject sites are included
in this plan. The plan seeks to preserve the essence of the small amounts of remaining
rural character along the Rainbow Boulevard North Corridor by emphasizing uses that
serve the corridor community and encouraging development patterns that align with the
single family neighborhoods. It is important to note that this plan does not exclude
commercial or multi-family residential uses along the corridor; rather it seeks to
encourage those uses to contribute to the needs of the neighborhoods and aesthetically
blend in with the community. The corridor was divided into three Character Areas, in
response to each areas unique physical form of the built environment, density, and land
use. The three Character Areas include Tropical-Rainbow, Ann-Rainbow, and Rancho-
Rainbow.
NE
The subject sites are located within the Ann-Rainbow Character Area. This area
accounts for the majority of the land share of the corridor (44%), with a majority of this
land zoned residential. This Character Area also includes the intersection of Ann Road
and Rainbow Boulevard. Three of the 17 commercially zoned parcels within the corridor
plan are three corners of this intersection. The subject sites are adjacent to one of the
three commercially zoned corners, the northeast corner of Ann Road and Rainbow
Boulevard. This corner is zoned C-1 (Limited Commercial). The applicant is requesting
to further encroach into the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district into the existing
rural neighborhood to the north.
As stated by the Rainbow North Corridor Plan, Non-residential development should be

limited to the portions of the plan area defined as:
a) Rancho-Rainbow; and
b) Ann-Rainbow, exclusively if adjacent to the Ann and Rainbow intersection
and south thereof.
This Site Development Guidelines of the Rainbow North Corridor Plan specifically
excludes the subject sites since they are north of the Ann and Rainbow intersection.
The preferred development outlined by the Rainbow North Corridor Plan for this section
of the Character Area is residential and include:
x Duplexes that retain the bulk and scale of the surrounding neighborhood
developments;
x Townhouses that are oriented to Rainbow Boulevard.
Whether it is commercial development or the types of residential development

mentioned above, according to the Las Vegas Water District (LVVWD), the subject
parcels are not currently served by LVVWD. They are served by an existing quasi-
municipal well and any water approval would require approval by the Nevada Division of
Environmental Protection (NDEP) Division of Water Resources.
The proposed landscape plan did not specify the spacing of the proposed trees, or the
specific placement of the proposed shrubs. Due to this, staff was unable to confirm the
proposed landscape plan met the minimum landscaping requirements set forth by Title
19.08. To ensure compliance, staff has added a Condition of Approval requiring one 24-
inch box tree to be planted every 20 feet on-center, with four, five-gallon shrubs for each
required tree.
Due to the existence of this quasi-municipal well at the rear of 5686 North Rainbow
Boulevard, an access easement is necessary to provide access to the well for
maintenance and service. This access easement prevents the proposed development
from providing the required eight-foot landscape buffer adjacent to the property line as
NE
required by Title 19 and a Waiver is necessary to allow the required eight-foot

landscape buffer to be located adjacent to the west perimeter of the access easement.
This extraordinary site condition prevents the applicant from meeting the minimum
standards for landscape buffers; therefore, staff supports the Waiver request.
The subject parcels are not currently served by LVVWD (Las Vegas Valley Water
District), as the subject parcels have an existing revocable permit well that is permitted
for domestic use only. Civil and plumbing plans will need to be submitted to LVVWD for
abandoning the well and the establishment of domestic and fire service from LVVWD.
Proof of parcel lot consolidation, or a commercial subdivision, is required prior to civil
plan approval by LVVWD if this application is approved.
The Department of Public Works has waived the Complete Streets requirement for the
proposed development if approved. The adjacent northeast corner of Ann Road and
Rainbow Boulevard is currently entitled for commercial development with approved half
street improvement requirements. If approved, the proposed commercial development
will be required to match the previously approved Site Development Plan Review (SDR-
58147) for half street improvements to the south for sidewalk and roadway consistency.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff finds the proposed General Plan Amendment, Rezoning, and Site Development
Plan Review to be incompatible with the existing residential development that surrounds
the subject sites. Staff does not support the continuing encroachment of commercial
development into a predominantly residential area, especially when the proposed
commercial development is directly adjacent to property zoned R-E (Rural Estates
Residential) within an RNP (Rural Neighborhood Preservation) area in Clark County
Nevada. In addition, the subject sites are within the North Rainbow Corridor Plan which
specifically recommends residential type uses such as townhomes and duplexes for the
subject sites if developed. For these reasons, staff is recommending denial of these
requests.
FINDINGS (GPA-67883)
Section 19.16.030(I) of the Las Vegas Zoning Code requires that the following
conditions be met in order to justify a General Plan Amendment:
1. The density and intensity of the proposed General Plan Amendment is

compatible with the existing adjacent land use designations,
NE
The density and intensity of the land uses permitted by the proposed SC (Service
Commercial) General Plan designation and associated zoning districts are not
compatible with the existing single family detached homes that are directly
adjacent to the north and east of the subject site. These existing home sites are
on an average over three-quarters of an acre each and are rural in nature.
Intense commercial development is not an appropriate buffer for properties
designated RNP (Rural Neighborhood Preservation) in Clark County.
2. The zoning designations allowed by the proposed amendment will be

compatible with the existing adjacent land uses or zoning districts,
The proposed Service Commercial General Plan designation supports the

proposed C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district along with the O (Office) and
P-O (Professional Office) zoning districts. While there are existing commercially
zoned properties to the west and south of the subject sites on the corners of Ann
Road and Rainbow Boulevard, this proposal would allow the C-1 (Limited
Commercial) zoning district to further encroach into an existing rural residential
neighborhood directly adjacent to the subject sites to the east and north consisting
of existing, large-lot single family residential homes zoned R-E (Rural Estates
Residential) within Clark County, Nevada. In addition, north of the subject sites
along both the west and east side of Rainbow Boulevard is detached, single family
homes spanning the entire northern length of Rainbow Boulevard until it
terminates at the I-215.
3. There are adequate transportation, recreation, utility, and other facilities to

accommodate the uses and densities permitted by the proposed General
Plan Amendment; and
If approved, half street improvements would be required for the proposed

development in order to provide adequate transportation facilities for a commercial
land use.
4. The proposed amendment conforms to other applicable adopted plans and

policies that include approved neighborhood plans.
The proposed General Plan Amendment does not comply with the North
Rainbow Corridor Plan, which specifically recommends residential type
development such as duplexes and townhomes for property adjacent to
Rainbow Boulevard, north of Ann Road.
NE

If approved, the proposed C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district would conform
to the proposed General Plan designation of SC (Service Commercial).
districts.
The land uses permitted by the proposed C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district
include Banquet Facilities and Clinics. These uses are too intense for the area
north of Ann Road, and are not compatible for residential adjacency.
Approximately one-quarter of a mile west of the subject sites is an existing

shopping center (Rio Vista Shopping Center) at the southwest corner of Ann Road
and Rio Vista Street that contains commercial space available for lease. While a
33-lot residential development is currently under construction north of the subject
sites, 33 additional single family homes does not indicate the need for additional
commercial space to further encroach into a predominantly residential area
outside of the intersection of Ann Road and Rainbow Boulevard. With no potential
tenant, and existing vacant commercial space within a quarter mile of the subject
sites, growth and development factors do not indicate the need for converting
existing residential homes into commercial property.

If approved, half street improvements on Rainbow Boulevard would be required

for the proposed development in order to provide adequate transportation facilities
for a commercial land use.
NE

The proposed development would be directly adjacent to large-lot single family

detached homes to the north and east zoned R-E (Rural Estates Residential)
within Clark County, Nevada. Developing a commercial building capable of
accommodating intense commercial land uses does not provide an appropriate
buffer to rural single family homes. In addition, except for the immediate corner
lots located at the intersection of Ann Road and Rainbow Boulevard, the
remaining area north of this intersection is entirely residential except for a
preschool just north of the existing Walgreens on the northwest corner of Ann
Road and Rainbow Boulevard. The further encroachment of commercial land
uses into a predominantly residential area is not compatible with the existing
residential development in the area.
If the General Plan Amendment and rezoning requests are approved, the
proposed development would be consistent with the minimum development
standards for the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district, but would be in direct
contradiction to the Rainbow North Corridor Plan which recommends residential
development such as duplexes and townhomes, not commercial development
and land uses.

Site access would be provided from Rainbow Boulevard, a 100-foot Primary

Arterial as classified by the Master Plan of Streets and Highways. At the
intersection of Ann Road and Rainbow Boulevard, Rainbow Boulevard is a fully
improved 100-foot right-of-way, but tapers down to approximately 50 feet due to
the fact that north of the intersection are existing lot-large single family homes that
are rural in nature and do not require the roadway to be improved. If this
application is approved, half street (road) improvements will be required, and
NE
Rainbow Boulevard will be 100 feet in width, only to immediately drop back down
to 50 feet in width since the remaining parcels on the block directly north of the
subject sites are still rural single family homes with no street improvements. This
will create a roadway that will negatively impact the predominantly residential
neighborhood traffic that exists north of Ann Road.
City;
The proposed building would have a stucco finish with an aluminum storefront and
ceramic tile accents to add the appearance of wood. The landscape materials
proposed include the Thornless Chilean Mesquite tree, Red Yucca shrubs, and
New Gold Lantana for accent plants. All of these materials are appropriate for the
area, and a desert climate.

The proposed building elevations are not obnoxious or unsightly, but are not
compatible with the existing residential development in the area. The 28,800
square-foot big box style building would not match the established residential
scale that exists to the immediate north and east of the subject sites. The
proposed commercial development would not create an orderly environment as
developing a commercial building and introducing intense land uses directly
adjacent to rural residential homes does not create an orderly or harmonious
environment for an existing residential neighborhood.
If approved, the proposed development would be subject to review during the

plan check and permitting process, as well as regular site inspections during
construction. Once constructed, future tenants would be subject to business
license review and continuing compliance once licensed. These measures are
in place to protect the public health, safety, and general welfare.

requirements for a Site Development Plan Review were discussed.
A neighborhood meeting was held at the Centennial Hills Community
Center/YMCA at 6601 North Buffalo Drive in Las Vegas. There were
19 members of the public, two representatives for the applicant, one
representative from the Ward 6 City Council Office and one member of
Department of Planning staff in attendance.
The applicant presented conceptual drawings that included a site plan

12/19/16 and elevations of the proposed Grocery Store. When asked about
who the tenant would be, the representatives indicated that a tenant
has not been secured at this time, but is being pursued.
Concerns:
x The neighbors present do not want any commercial, and were
not in support of this proposal.
x Do not want any more traffic along Rainbow Boulevard.
x
NE
Staff Report Page Twelve
x Questions were raised in regards to the well (water), the
representative informed the neighbors that a new commercial
project would not use the well, and the required clearance
around the well would remain for maintenance.
x Residents questioned and expressed concerns in regards to
what other types of land uses could go in to a C-1 (Limited
Commercial) zoning district if a Grocery Store tenant was not
secured or eventually went out of business.
x Do not feel there is enough people and/or traffic to support a
Grocery Store in this area with other existing shopping centers
relatively close by.
x Residents felt that this rural portion of Rainbow Boulevard does
not need commercial, and that only the owners of the properties
included in this proposal would benefit from converting to
subject sites to commercial. They also feel commercial land
uses are being forced upon them even though the desire for it is
not there.
x Concern over increased use of the alleyway, including
deliveries and individuals using the commercial property to gain
entry into residents rear yards.
x The residents specifically purchased their homes because there
was no commercial existing or planned for the immediate area
at the time.
Staff noted that some of the property owners for the proposed project
may have been there, but were not clearly identified. There were no
residents present expressing support for this project. All who
attended and spoke during the meeting did not support the proposed
Grocery Store, the General Plan Amendment or Rezoning.
Field Check
The site contains three existing single family dwellings maintained in
12/05/16 good condition. Each parcel frontage is walled and gated. There are

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing to convert an existing single-family dwelling to a commercial

building on the property located at 1320 South Maryland Parkway.
ISSUES
x Rezoning (ZON-71106) would rezone the property from R-1 (Single Family
Residential) to P-O (Professional Office).
x Site Development Plan Review (SDR-71108) would allow the conversion of the
existing single-family residence to an office building.
x Waivers from Title 19.08.050 are required to allow a zero-foot landscape buffer
along the south property line where eight feet is required, a zero-foot landscape
buffer along the east property line where 15 feet is required and three-foot
landscape buffers along the north and west property lines where eight feet is
required. Staff does not support these requests.
x An exception from Title 19.08.040 (F)(8)(a), to allow no trees within the landscape
buffers of the proposed development. Staff does not support this exception.
x An exception from Title 19.08.040 (H)(4), to allow curb side trash pickup on
Maryland Parkway. Staff supports this exception.
ANALYSIS
The request is for a Rezoning and Site Development Plan Review for a proposed
conversion of an existing single-family residential dwelling to a 910 square-foot office
building. The site is currently zoned as R-1 (Single Family Residential). The site is
adjacent to R-1 (Single Family Residential) zoned properties that are located to the
north, south and west. The site receives access via one drive from Maryland Parkway.
The proposed conversion provides four parking spaces where four are required for a
proposed Office, Other than Listed use.
The O (Office) category of the General Plan provides for small lot office conversions,
along primary and secondary streets as a transition, from residential and commercial
uses, and for large planned office areas. Permitted uses include business, professional
and financial offices as well as offices for individual, civic, social, fraternal and other
non-profit organizations.
RG
ZON-71106 and SDR-71108 [PRJ-71064]
The applicant has requested Waivers of Title 19.08.050, to allow three-foot landscape
buffers along the north and west property lines where eight feet is required, to allow a
zero-foot landscape buffer along the south property line where eight feet is required and
a zero-foot landscape buffer along the east property line where 15 feet is required. Staff
does not support these Waiver requests.
The applicant has also requested an exception from Title 19.08.040 (F)(8)(a), to provide
no trees within the landscape buffers within the proposed development. Since the
proposed waivers would allow no landscape buffers along the north and east property
lines, and reduction to three feet along the north and west property lines. Instead only
five-gallon shrubs are provided. The landscape plan depicts the reduced perimeter
landscape buffers with five-gallon shrubs. Plant species used include Silver Dalea,
Damianita, Autumn Sage and Black Dalea.
The applicant has also requested an exception from Title 19.08.040 (H)(4), to allow curb
side trash pickup on Maryland Parkway. Providing trash enclosure on this site is not
feasible due to the subject propertys limited size. Also, Title 19 requires that the trash
receptacle to be setback further when adjacent to a residential zoned property. A letter
from the Republic Services has indicated that trash pickup can be made along the curb
side.
The proposed site plan depicts the existing pan-style drive and proposed on-site
circulation which will not function properly to allow a two-way traffic entering the site.
Public Works has noted for a development such as this, it is preferred to see the
adjacent property owners to work together to present a multi-lot conversions with
access drives and parking areas wherever possible (such as the lots to the north or
south of this property along Maryland Parkway). Staff recommends denial of the layout
design as indicated on the site plan.
The building elevations will maintain design characteristics of a single-family dwelling.

These features are not unsightly, undesirable, or obnoxious in appearance. These
elevations will maintain the orderly and aesthetically pleasing environment; and are
harmonious and compatible with the development in the area.
In summary, staff supports the requested Rezoning as it is appropriate for the area and
recommends approval of the Rezoning. However, staff does not support the Site
Development Plan Review due to requested Waivers regarding the landscaping with
exception to allow no trees within the landscape buffers. Also, the proposed on-site
circulation does not function properly to allow a two-way traffic. Therefore, staff
recommends denial of this request. If this request is approved it is subject to conditions.

The conversion of the existing single-family dwelling as proposed is not

compatible with the adjacent residential properties, as the proposed office is
beyond the sites physical capacity. The Site Development Plan Review
application is associated with Waivers of the perimeter landscape buffer. The
proposed conversion on-site circulation does not function properly to allow a
two-way traffic. For a formerly single-family residential to commercial
conversions, where existing buildings and lot configuration preclude normal
driveway. For a project such as this, it is preferred to see the adjacent property
owners work together and present multi-lot conversions with common access
drives and parking areas.
The proposed development proposes Waivers to allow no landscape buffers

along the south and east property lines and a minimum of three-foot landscape
buffers are provided along the north and west property lines.

Access to the site is from Maryland Parkway. The sites existing pan-style drive
and proposed on-site circulation does not function properly to allow two-way

the north and west property lines.

dwelling. These features are not unsightly, undesirable, or obnoxious in
appearance. These elevations will maintain the orderly and aesthetically pleasing
environment; and are harmonious and compatible with the development in the

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting to rezone the property at 1703 Michael Way to R-1 (Single
Family Residential).
ISSUES
x The subject site is developed with an existing single family dwelling

x The applicant is hoping to divide the parcel to create an additional R-1 (Single
Family Residential) lot for construction of a single family dwelling.
x There is a storm drain through the northern half of the existing lot that will limit the
development potential of the northern half of the property.
ANALYSIS
The applicant is proposing to rezone the site to R-1 (Single Family Residential), the
purpose of which is described in Title 19 as: The purpose of the R-1 District is to provide
for the development of single family detached dwellings in a suburban setting. The R-1
District is consistent with the policies of the Low Density Residential category of the
General Plan.
The Low Density Residential category generally permits single family detached homes,
manufactured homes on individual lots, gardening, home occupations, and family child
care facilities. This category allows up to 5.49 units per acre.
The applicant is proposing the rezoning as the first step towards allowing the existing lot
to be divided into two single family residential lots. The applicant did not request
division of the parcels as part of this application. Any division of the parcel will require
review by staff to determine conformance with the requirements of Title 19.
The subject site has a storm drain that runs west to east, with a 10-foot easement that
will limit the developable area of the site. The applicant is aware of the easement and
storm drain, and will need to reflect the storm drain and easement on any property
division proposed in the future.
Staff recommends approval of the requested rezoning as it is consistent with the

General Plan.
PB
ZON-71071 [PRJ-70816]

The proposed R-1 (Single Family Residential) zoning district is compatible with
the existing L (Low Density Residential) land use designation within the General
Plan.
districts.
The proposed R-1 (Single Family Residential) zoning district allows primarily
single family dwellings and associated land uses which are appropriate in the
neighborhood which is primarily zoned R-1 (Single Family Residential) as well.
The surrounding neighborhood is developed with a high level of R-1 (Single

Family Residential) properties, and the proposed rezoning would be appropriate in
the surrounding area.

The subject site is adjacent and has access to Michael Way, a local street that
connects to Lake Mead Boulevard at a controlled intersection; thus the street
system is adequate to meet the needs of the proposed rezoning.

There are no relevant city action by the Departments of Planning; Fire and Rescue; or
Building and Safety.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a Site Development Plan Review for a proposed 4,690 square-foot
office development with waivers to allow zero-foot wide landscape buffers along the
east and south perimeter where eight feet is required; a variance to allow a 72-foot
residential adjacency setback where 102 feet is the minimum setback required and to
allow a trash receptacle 19 feet from a residential parcel where 50 feet is the minimum
separation distance required on 0.38 acres at 877 Eastern Avenue.
ISSUES

adjacency setback where 102 feet is the minimum setback required for the building
and to allow a trash receptacle 19 feet from a residential parcel where 50 feet is the
minimum separation distance required. Staff does not support this request.
x The applicant has requested waivers to allow zero-foot wide landscape buffers along
the east and south perimeter where eight feet is required. Staff does not support this
request.
x The applicant has requested an exception of planting materials to allow a total of

ANALYSIS
The subject site is located in the Southeast Sector of the General Plan with a land use
designation of O (Office) and zoning designation of P-R (Professional Office and
Parking), which allows Office, Other than Listed as a permitted land use. The applicant
has proposed Site Development Plan Review (SDR-71046) to develop the subject site
with one 4,690 square-foot build for a proposed Office, Other than Listed land use.
The applicant has submitted a request for a Variance (VAR-71044) to allow a 72-foot
residential adjacency setback where 102 feet is the minimum setback required and to
allow a trash receptacle 19 feet from a residential parcel where 50 feet is the minimum
JB
separation distance required in the residential adjacency setbacks outlined in Title

19.08. In addition, the applicant has also requested a petition to vacate (VAC-71045) an
existing 20-foot wide public sewer easement located on the western perimeter of the
subject site. This Vacation application proposes to vacate a portion of a 20-foot wide
public sewer easement generally located at the southeast corner of Eastern Avenue
and Washington Avenue, which is no longer required. As no right-of-way is proposed to
be vacated, and thus no franchise rights are involved, it is not necessary to send this
Vacation request to the utility companies and franchise holders, nor wait for their
responses. Since only City easements are involved, any utility company interests will
need to be addressed with each respective utility company and will not be affected by
the City vacating its interest.
The proposed site design complies with all applicable Title 19.08.070 site design
requirements pertaining to building setbacks, which requires a 20-foot front yard setback,
15-foot corner side setback, 5-foot side yard setback and a 15-foot rear setback. The
submitted elevations show a 34-foot building height adjacent to the existing R-1(Single
Family Residential) zoned single-family residence located to the east, which does not
comply with residential adjacency standards required by Title 19.06.040. The applicant
has requested a Variance (VAR-71044) to allow a 72-foot residential adjacency setback
where 102 feet is required. In addition, the Variance also requests to allow a proposed
trash enclosure 19 feet away from the residential property where 50 feet is required. The
proposed 4,690 square-foot development will cover approximately 14% of the 0.38 acre
site. The submitted building elevations indicate the building faades will have a grey
stucco finish, with red steel window shades.
The site will provide 16 total parking spaces with one ADA parking space, which
complies with the 16 spaces required by Title 19.12.010 for a 4,690 square-foot Office,
Other than Listed land use. The parking area also provides space for a trash enclosure
on the southern perimeter of the site, which has been designed to comply with Title
19.08 screening standards. All interior parking lot landscaping planting materials have
been designed to comply with code requirements for spacing and quantities.
The applicant has submitted a request for waivers to allow zero-foot wide landscape
buffers along the east and south perimeter where eight feet is required. Also, the
applicant has requested an exception of planting materials within the provided
landscape buffer areas to allow a total of seven 24-inch box trees within the landscape
buffer areas where ten trees are required, missing three tree within the west landscape
buffer adjacent to Eastern Avenue. The primary tree species being utilized are 24 box
Sweet Bay, 24 box Honey Mesquite and 24 box Texas Mountain Laurel trees.
Staff has determined the proposed project is not compatible with surrounding
development in the area, as demonstrated by the associated variance, waivers and
exceptions. Therefore, staff recommends denial of this project.
JB
order to:



applicant has created a self-imposed hardship by requesting to orient the proposed
structures adjacent to existing single-family land uses. Alternative building design and
placement of the trash enclosure would allow conformance to the Title 19 requirements.
In view of the absence of any hardships imposed by the sites physical characteristics, it
is concluded that the applicants hardship is preferential in nature, and it is thereby
outside the realm of NRS Chapter 278 for granting of Variances.

JB
The proposed Office, Other than Listed development is not compatible with the
adjacent residential development in the area, as evidenced by the associated
Waivers, Exceptions and Variance. Staff has determined that the development
is not compatible with the R-1 (Single Family Residential) zoned properties
located east of the subject site.
The proposed Office, Other than Listed development is consistent with the
General Plan. However, the proposed design does not comply with all Title 19
development standards. The applicant has requested Waivers to allow zero-foot
wide landscape buffers along the east and south perimeter where eight feet is
required and an exception of required planting materials. In addition, the applicant
has also requested a Variance to allow a 72-foot residential adjacency setback
where 102 feet is the minimum setback required and to allow a trash receptacle
19 feet from a residential parcel where 50 feet is the minimum separation distance
required. Staff has determined the associated Waivers, Exception and Variance
will have a negative impact to the overall development.

Access to the site will be provided by Washington Avenue and Eastern Avenue,
which are 100-foot Primary Arterial streets according to the Master Plan of Streets
and Highways and are sufficient in size to carry the amount of traffic this proposed
development will generate.
City;
The building design and style are appropriate for the subject location and will be
harmonious with buildings in the surrounding area. The submitted building
elevations indicate the building faades will have a grey stucco finish, with red
steel window shade accents. The primary tree species being utilized are 24 box
Sweet Bay, 24 box Honey Mesquite and 24 box Texas Mountain Laurel trees,
which are consistent with the Southern Nevada Regional Plan Coalition Regional
Plant List.

JB
The design characteristics of the proposed building elevations are not unsightly
and are compatible with development in the area. The proposed materials are
suitable for the surrounding commercial and residential uses and the desert
environment.
The proposed commercial development will be subject to inspections in order to

protect the public health, safety and general welfare by City staff.

The City Council approved a request for a Rezoning (Z-0035-98) from
R-1 (Single Family Residential) to P-R (Professional Office and

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing to construct a 17,200 square-foot Church/House of Worship

building at the northwest corner of Smoke Ranch Road and Michael Way.
ISSUES
x A request for a Variance of Title 19.06.060, to allow a front yard setback of 15 feet
where 50 feet is required. Staff recommends approval.
x A Church/House of Worship use is permitted in the R-E (Residence Estates) zoning
district with the approval of a Special Use Permit. Staff recommends approval.
x A request for Waivers from Title 19.06.060, to allow a six-foot wide perimeter
landscape buffer along the south property line and a five-foot wide perimeter
landscape buffer along the east property line where 15 feet is required adjacent to a
right-of-way. Staff supports this request.
x An exception to Title 19.08.110, to allow no shade trees at the end of the parking
located in the northeast corner of the property. Staff supports this request.
ANALYSIS
The request is for a Variance, Special Use Permit and a Site Development Plan Review
for a proposed 17,200 square-foot Church/House of Worship building. The
development comprises of two buildings that are oriented towards the southeast corner
of the property. The site is zoned R-E (Residence Estates) and is undeveloped. The
site is located within the 70-foot Airport Overlay District.
The site is adjacent to R-1 (Single Family Residential) zoned properties that are located
to the north and the west. As such, residential adjacency standards apply to this
development. However, the proposed building setbacks are adequate; therefore, does
not compromise the residential adjacency. The site will be accessed via one drive from
Smoke Ranch Road and one from Michael Way. There are 250 parking spaces are
provided for the site where 62 are required.
A Variance has been requested for the proposed Church/House of Worship

development. Pursuant to Title 19.06.060, the front yard setback is 50 feet in the R-E
(Residence Estates) zoning district. The subject property is a corner lot and pursuant to
Title 19.08, in the case of a corner lot, the front of the lot shall be considered to be the
RG
side which has the lesser dimension in width. In this case, Michael Way is less than
that of the Smoke Ranch Road frontage. The setback for the proposed house of
worship is 15 feet. On corner lots such as this site, the building should be oriented to
the corner and to the street fronts. The required setback of 50 feet is intended for
single-family residential dwellings and the proposed development is a nonresidential
development. Due to the residential adjacency standards, the building has to be
setback further than the standard rear and side yard setbacks of the R-E zoning district.
Therefore, staff recommends approval.
The applicant has requested Waivers of Title 19.06.060, to reduce the landscape buffer
widths along the south and east property lines. Pursuant to Title 19.06.060, for
nonresidential development, the perimeter landscape buffers shall have a minimum
width of 15 feet adjacent to a right-of-way. The landscape buffer adjacent to the south
property line along Smoke Ranch Road contains a sidewalk that is parallel to the street
right-of-way. Pursuant to Title 19.06.040 (F)(9)(b), encroachments are permitted within
the required buffer zones for sidewalks that are located perpendicular or approximately
perpendicular to the street right-of-way. In this case, the proposed sidewalk from the
building is parallel to the street right-of-way. Therefore, the minimum landscape buffer
width of six feet along a portion of the south property line is provided. A five-foot wide
landscape buffer is provided along a portion of the east property line. The landscape
buffer on the east property line narrows towards the north side of the property. The
minimum width adjacent to the drive entrance from Michael Way will be five feet in
width. Staff supports these waivers as the affected landscape buffers still provide the
trees and shrubs as required by Title 19.
The landscape plan depicts perimeter landscape buffers along the property lines
planted with the required 24-inch box trees at every 20 feet on-center. Trees species
used include Mediterranean Fan Palms, Mexican Fan Palms, African Sumacs, Model
Pines, and Holly Oaks. Provided shrubs include five-gallon Feathery Cassia, Desert
Spoon, Fortnight Lily, Red Yucca, Green Texas Ranger, Pink Lady Hawthorn, Purple
Sage, Sierra Gold Dalea, New Gold Lantana, Orange Lantana and Trailing Rosemary.
There is no covered parking for this development and there are adequate parking
landscaping throughout the parking lot.
An exception to Title 19.08.110 has been requested to allow no shade trees on one end
of the parking row located in the northeast corner of the property. The RPDA and
RPPA will be located within the landscaping; therefore, planting a shade tree at that
location will not be practical. All other parking lot landscaping is provided in accordance
with Title 19.
The Department of Public Works has indicated that this project will add approximately
157 trips per day on Smoke Ranch Road and Michael Way. Currently, Smoke Ranch
Road is at about 37 percent of capacity and Michael Way is at about 29 percent of
RG
capacity. With this project, Smoke Ranch Road is expected to remain unchanged and
Michael Way is expected to be about 30 percent of capacity.
The proposed development is located within 500 feet of the City boundary with Clark
County. The Special Use Permit (SUP-71094) application requires a submittal of the
Project of Regional Significance form. There are no comments from other agencies
regarding the proposed Special Use Permit.
A Church/House of Worship use is permitted in the R-E (Residence Estates) zoning

district with the approval of a Special Use Permit. Additionally, the following analysis is
required:
The Church/House of Worship use is defined as Any building used for religious worship
services, religious education and fellowship activities and programs of a religious
organization. This use includes the use of the building and premises for other related
activities, such as child care facilities, formal educational programs, preschool classes
and recreational activities, but only when those activities are ancillary to the religious
use and only after those uses have been approved by means of a use review or other
procedure under LVMC Chapter 19.16. This use does not include any class of child
care center, general education classroom or facility, thrift shop, homeless shelter or
commercial activity. The proposed use meets the definition per the submitted
justification letter date stamped 06/26/17. The proposed Church/House of Worship
primary activity is church services with small gatherings held on various days of the
week. The class rooms are for Sunday school use only and not for a private school.
1. The Special Use Permit approval may include such activities as religious
services, religious instruction, church club activities and similar activities.
The proposed use meets this requirement as the primary uses are religious
services with small gatherings held on various days of the week. The class
rooms are for Sunday school use only.
2. The Special Use Permit approval may also include accessory functions, such as
child care facilities, formal educational programs, preschool classes and similar
related activities, if:
a. The uses are specifically proposed in the application; and
b. The Director finds that each such use is ancillary to the primary use.
The proposed Church/House of Worship use will not conduct a child care facility,
formal education programs or preschool classes on site.
RG
3. Following approval of a Special Use Permit, if any additional uses not specifically
covered by that Special Use Permit are proposed, an additional public hearing
process shall be required to add the uses.
There are no additional uses included in the applicants justification letter which
states that the use will be limited to church services, group meetings and Sunday
school.
4. In residential districts, related uses such as thrift shops, homeless shelters and
other similar activities may not be conducted and are not eligible for approval as
part of a Special Use Permit. Such uses may be conducted only in the zoning
districts in which such uses are permitted as primary uses, and must receive
specific approval to operate. (Non-waivable)
There will be no thrift shops, homeless shelters and other similar activities related
to the proposed Church/House of Worship use.
5. Churches on sites larger than 5 acres shall not be permitted in the U District or a
district with an R prefix. (Non-waivable)
The subject site is 2.39 acres according to the Clark County Assessors Office.
The proposed Church/House of Worship use can be conducted in a manner that is

harmonious and compatible with existing surrounding land uses, and with future
surrounding land uses. The proposed development requires waivers of the perimeter
landscape buffers and an exception to allow no trees at the end of one parking row.
The proposed building setback Variance allow the use to meet residential adjacency
standards; therefore, staff recommends approval with conditions.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a Variance to allow a proposed 2,000 square-foot Accessory

Structure (Class II) [Garage] to be located five feet from the side property line and
seven feet from the rear property line where ten feet is the minimum required by Title
19.06.060. The subject site is located at 404 Lacy Lane, in the R-E (Residence Estates)
zoning district.
ISSUES
x A Variance is required to allow an Accessory Structure (Class II) [Garage] to be

located five feet from the side property line and seven feet from the rear property line
where ten feet is required by Title 19.06.060.
ANALYSIS
An Accessory Structure (Class II) is described in Title 19.12 as: An accessory structure
which is located on the same lot as a principal structure, is detached therefrom, is
incidental or subordinate thereto, and does not qualify as an Accessory Structure
(Class I).
Accessory structures in this residential development must adhere to Title 19.06.060

Development Standards. The subject property lot size is 20,473 square feet in size,
which is consistent with the R-E (Residence Estates) zoning district. Title 19.06.060
requires accessory structures in the R-E (Residence Estates) zoning district to maintain
a minimum setback of ten feet from the rear and side property lines.
The submitted elevations and site plan indicate that the structure will be approximately
13 feet in height measured to the mid-point of the roof. The applicant has indicated in
the justification letter that the structure will be utilized as a detached garage. The
submitted floor plan indicates there are no kitchen facilities associated with the
proposal. The accessory structure has been designed with painted exterior cement
plaster and a tiled roof to be aesthetically compatible with the principal dwelling.
JB
VAR-71070 [PRJ-70795]
The proposed garage will be located in the southwest corner of the site and maintains a
28-foot separation from the principal dwelling where six feet is required; a five-foot
setback from the side yard property line and seven-foot setback from the rear property
line where 10 feet is required. Staff has determined that the proposed structure could be
reconfigured on the subject site to meet all Title 19.06.060 setback requirements.
No substantial evidence has been presented to warrant the requested Variance;

therefore, this is considered a self-created hardship that NRS 278 does not permit. As
the applicant has provided no compelling evidence of a unique or extraordinary
circumstance related to the site itself, staff recommends denial.
order to:



applicant has created a self-imposed hardship by proposing building setbacks that do
not meet the Title 19.06 requirements. An alternative design would allow conformance
to Title 19.06 requirements. In view of the absence of any hardships imposed by the
sites physical characteristics, it is concluded that the applicants hardship is preferential
in nature, and it is thereby outside the realm of NRS Chapter 278 for granting of
Variances.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request to construct a wall within the front yard setback that does not meet
Title 19 height restrictions. The subject site is located at the northwest corner of El
Parque Avenue and Cimarron Road.
ISSUES
x A Variance is required to allow an eight-foot tall wall and a four-foot retaining wall
within a front yard setback area where a two-foot retaining wall and maximum
five-foot screen wall is allowed. Staff recommends denial.
ANALYSIS
The subject site is located within the R-E (Residence Estates) zoning district. This
district allows walls and fences located within the front yard setback area to have a
maximum height of five feet with a two-foot solid base. The applicant proposes to
construct an eight-foot tall solid screen wall with a four-foot solid retaining wall along the
west side of Cimarron Road. Per the project Civil Engineer, the front yard has a
maximum slope of five percent. Title 19 states, Where the grade of the front yard
slopes at a ratio greater than 2:1, multiple retaining walls may be constructed, provided
there is a minimum distance of five feet between retaining walls for landscaping. The
submitted elevation plans depict a five-foot planter with landscaping between the two
walls. The eight-foot tall screen wall will have a 16-inch fluted block segment. The
retaining wall is depicted with an eight-inch fluted block segment. The subject site and
the adjacent properties to the north and east are currently undeveloped. There are
single family detached dwellings on the properties adjacent to the west and south. The
submitted site plan depicts that a single family dwelling and detached garage are
proposed for future development at the site.
While there have been approved variances for similar projects within the vicinity of the
subject property, staff evaluates each request individually. Based on the requirements
of Title 19 and the applicants failure to produce any evidence of a hardship related to
the physical characteristics of the property, staff recommends denial of the request. If
approved, the applicant will be able to construct the wall as proposed.
CS
VAR-71077 [PRJ-71011]
order to:



applicant has created a self-imposed hardship by proposing to construct a wall that
does not meet Title 19 requirements. In view of the absence of any hardships imposed
by the sites physical characteristics, it is concluded that the applicants hardship is
preferential in nature, and it is thereby outside the realm of NRS Chapter 278 for
granting of Variances.

Code Enforcement opened Case #136992 for debris and waste

overflow at the subject site. The case remains open.

ANALYSIS
The subject site is located at 714 S. 1st Street, is zoned C-M (Commercial/Industrial)
and has a MXU (Mixed Use) land use designation. The site is developed with an
existing building that is proposed to be reused with internal modification and no
expansion of the net floor area. As the site is located in the Downtown Centennial Plan,
that plans threshold document considers this level of work to not require a Site
Development Plan Review application.
However, the Las Vegas Valley Watershed District commented that while the site is
currently served by LVVWD water; that a backflow preventer would be required and the
service may need to be upgraded. The applicant was informed of this requirement, and
that all utility installations must be done on private property, not in the right of way or
amenity zone per the Downtown Centennial Plan standards.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a Special Use Permit for a Community Residence to be located at
1516 Winwood Street
ISSUES
x Conditional Use Regulation Number One (1) for a Community Residence use
states, a Community Residence may not be located closer than 660 feet to any
other Community Residence. The proposed site is approximately 300 feet away
from another Community Residence.
ANALYSIS
The applicant has proposed a Community Residence for 1516 Winwood Street, which is
a 2,345 square-foot single family residence zoned R-1 (Single Family Residential).
Located within an established residential neighborhood, the subject residence is a four-
bedroom, three-bath, single-story, detached residential home.
A Community Residence is a Conditional use in the R-1 (Single Family Residential)

zoning district. Conditional Use Regulation number one (1) requires:
a Community Residence may not be located closer than 660 feet to any other
Community Residence (measured from property line to property line).
The proposed site is approximately 300 feet away from an existing Community
Residence to the north of the subject site, separated by an 80-foot right-of-way (Vegas
Drive). The proposed Community Residence will not be located on the same block or
adjoining blocks, and will not alter the residential nature of the existing neighborhood;
therefore, staff is recommending approval of this request.
Title 19.12 defines the Community Residence use as A residential family-like living
arrangement for 5 to 10 unrelated individuals with disabilities who are in need of the
mutual support furnished by other residents, as well as the support services, if any,
provided by the operator of the Community Residence. Residents may be self-
governing or supervised by a sponsoring entity or its staff which furnishes habilitative or
NE
SUP-70970 [PRJ-70968]
rehabilitative services related to the needs of the residents. Interrelationships among

residents are an essential component of a Community Residence. A Community
Residence shall be considered a residential use of property for purposes of all zoning
and building codes. However, the Fire Marshal, pursuant to and consistent with the
Citys Fire Code, may require enhanced fire protection, including the installation of fire
sprinklers and other mitigating measures, where one or more residents has a lessened
ability to ambulate adequately. The use includes a Family Community Residence and a
Transitional Community Residence, but does not include any of the following:
1. Senior Citizen Apartment;

2. Individual Care Center;
3. Convalescent Care Facility/Nursing Home;
4. Facility for Transitional Living for Released Offenders;
5. Facility to Provide Testing, Treatment, or Counseling for Drug and Alcohol Abuse;
6. Hospice;
7. Sex Offender Counseling Facility;
8. Boarding House or Rooming House;
9. Any other group living arrangement for unrelated individuals who are not disabled; or
10. Any of the following, as defined by NRS Chapter 449:
a. Facilities for the Treatment of Drug and Alcohol Abuse;
b. Modified Medical Detoxification Facilities;
c. Transitional Living Facilities for Released Offenders;
d. Facility for the Treatment of Narcotics; or
e. Community Triage Center.
The Conditional Use Regulations for this use include:
1. Regulation 1: Except as otherwise provided in Regulations 2 and 3, a Community

Residence may not be located closer than 660 feet to any other Community
Residence (measured from property line to property line).
The proposed use does not meet this regulation as there is an existing
Community Residence on the north side of Vegas Drive, approximately 300 feet
away when measured parcel line to parcel line. Since the existing and proposed
Community Residences are separated by an 80-foot wide right-of-way and not
located on the same block, staff is recommending approval of this request.
2. Regulation 2: Where there is a street, freeway or drainage channel at least 100

feet wide between the proposed Community Residence and an existing
Community Residence, the minimum separation requirement is reduced to 100
feet from property line to property line.
NE
SUP-70970 [PRJ-70968]
This regulation is not applicable.
3. Regulation 3: When the population of proposed Community Residence is of such

a nature that its location must be kept confidential for it to function successfully,
such as a Community Residence for victims of domestic abuse, the minimum
separation requirements set forth in Regulations 1 and 2 above shall not apply.
This regulation is not applicable.
4. Regulation 4: A maximum of 2 persons who function as facility operator or

support staff may reside in a Community Residence without being counted
toward the 10-resident limit established for that use. Resident operator/support
staff in excess of 2 shall be counter toward the 10-person limit.
The applicant has proposed one to two staff members onsite for the anticipated
seven residents.
5. Regulation 5: A Community Residence shall comply with all public health and
safety requirements including all Building and Fire Code requirements for the
dwelling type in question.
This is a Condition of Approval, and will be enforced as such.
6. Regulation 6: In Federal or State law or regulations require the proposed

Community Residence to be licensed or certified, then the applicant must obtain
that required license or certification before commencing operation of the
Community Residence.
7. When located in an O, C-1 or C-2 Zoning District, a Community Residence may

not be established unless it is part of a mixed use development.
This Condition of Approval is not applicable as the subject site is zoned R-

1(Single Family Residential).
8. The operator of the Transitional Community Residence:

a. Must require residents to be actively and continuously enrolled in
an offsite support program, including without limitation Alcoholics
Anonymous or an equivalent program, or
NE
SUP-70970 [PRJ-70968]
b. Must prohibit the use of alcohol and illegal drugs by residents; and
c. Upon request and with reasonable notice, must produce evidence
satisfactory to the Director or the Code Enforcement Manager
residents are in compliance with this Regulation.
This Conditional Use Regulation does not apply at this time as the applicant has
proposed this facility for an elderly clientele.
9. Occupancy within a Community Residence shall not be made available to any

individual whose tenancy would constitute a direct threat to the health and safety
of individuals or would result in substantial physical damage to the property of
others. The fact that a person is sentenced or referred to a Transitional
Community Residence by a judge does not, without other evidence of a persons
actual danger to other persons or property, establish that the person is a direct
threat to the health and safety of others.
10. The Community Residence must be consistent with the scale and architectural
character of the neighborhood.
The proposed site is an existing single family residence and no alterations to the
exterior of the residence have been proposed that would change the character of
the existing residence. The subject site will maintain its residential character and
scale that mimics the surrounding area.
11. The Special Use Permit provisions of LVMC 19.12.040(B) shall not apply to
Regulations 5 through 10 above.
The proposed land use is not proposed as an accessory land use to the principle
dwelling and is not applicable.
12. In case of a Special Use Permit application that is filed as a consequence of not
qualifying for conditional use treatment under Regulations 1 and 2 above, the
application must be approved unless the Planning Commission or City Council
determines that one or more of the following conditions would occur:
a. The building to be occupied as a Community Residence would be
established or modified in a manner that would make it inconsistent
with the scale and architectural character of the neighborhood.
The applicant has proposed no alterations to the exterior of the

existing single family residence, and will remain consistent with the
scale and architectural character of the neighborhood.
NE
SUP-70970 [PRJ-70968]
b. The proposed Community Residence, together with existing

Community Residences, would alter the residential character of the
neighborhood by creating an institutional atmosphere due to the
concentration of the Community Residences on a block or adjoining
blocks; or
The proposed Community Residence will not create an institutional

atmosphere as the subject site will maintain its residential character
as no alterations to the exterior of the existing single family
residence have been proposed. In addition, the existing Community
Residence located approximately 300 feet away from the proposed
site is separated by an 80-foot wide right-of-way and will not be
located on the same block or adjoining blocks.
c. The application or Community Residence does not or would not

comply with Regulations 5 through 10 above.
The proposed Community Residence does meet Regulations 5

through 10; therefore, staff is recommending approval.

The proposed land use is a family-like living arrangement proposed for an existing
single-family residence located within an established residential neighborhood.
The proposed land use can be conducted in a manner that is harmonious and
compatible with the existing surrounding neighborhood.
proposed.
The subject site is an existing 2,345 square-foot single family residence located
with an existing residential neighborhood. The proposed land use is a family-like
living arrangement for five to ten unrelated individuals with disabilities who are in
need of the mutual support furnished by other residents, as well as the support
services, if any, provided by the operator of the Community Residence. The
subject site is physically suited for the proposed Community Residence.
NE
SUP-70970 [PRJ-70968]

Winwood Street is a 48-foot wide Local Street designed to carry residential traffic
between minor and major collectors (Vegas Drive), and is adequate in size to
meet the requirements of the proposed Community Residence which is a
residential family-like living arrangement.
Approval of the requested Special Use Permit for a Community Residence will not
compromise the public health, safety, and welfare as Condition Number Five (5)
states, A Community Residence shall comply with all public health and safety
requirements including all Building and Fire Code requirements for the dwelling
type in question. Not complying with this or any of the Conditions of Approval set
forth by Title 19.12 may result in the revocation of the Special Use Permit.
The proposed Community Residence does not meet Condition Number One (1) of
Title 19.12 which states, a Community Residence may not be located closer than
660 feet to any other Community Residence. The subject site is located
approximately 300 feet away from another Community Residence. Since the
subject site is not able to meet this condition, a Special Use Permit is required.
Staff supports this request for a Special Use Permit as the proposed site is
separated by an 80-foot right-of-way (Vegas Drive) and will not alter the
residential character of the area.

There are no relevant City actions for the subject site.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Beer and wine is proposed to be offered to patrons of an existing instructional arts

studio at 450 South Buffalo Drive, Suite #109. The tenant space is located within an
established 28,145 square-foot shopping center. A Special Use Permit is required, as
the parcel on which the use is located is within 400 feet of a school.
ISSUES
x A Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment use is permitted as a conditional use in

the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district. In this particular case, the proposed
use cannot meet Conditional Use Regulation Number 1 with regard to the distance
separation from a school. Pursuant to Title 19.12.040, a Special Use Permit is
required. Staff recommends approval.
ANALYSIS
A Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment use is described in Tile 19.18 as an

establishment whose license to sell alcoholic beverages is limited to the sale of beer,
wine and coolers only for consumption on the premises where the same is sold. The
applicant intends to have a beer and wine room inside the existing tenant space where
the primary use is an instructional arts studio. Students would be able to consume the
beverages while painting or conducting other art-related activities. No packaged
beverages would be sold, thereby meeting this definition.
This use is conditional within a C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district in Title 19. The
Conditional Use Regulations for this use include:
1. Except as otherwise provided, no beer/wine/cooler on-sale establishment

(hereinafter establishment) shall be located within 400 feet of any church/house
of worship, school, individual care center licensed for more than 12 children, or
City park.
The proposed use does not meet this requirement, as a school is located 362
feet west of the parcel where the Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment is
proposed to be located. As a result, a Special Use Permit must be approved in
order for the Applicant to obtain a business license for the use at this location.
SS
SUP-71079 [PRJ-71054]
2. Except as otherwise provided in Regulation 3 below, the distances referred to in

Regulation 1 shall be determined with reference to the shortest distance between
two property lines, one being the property line of the proposed establishment
which is closest to the existing use to which the measurement pertains, and the
other being the property line of that existing use which is closest to the proposed
establishment. The distance shall be measured in a straight line without regard
to intervening obstacles. For purposes of measurement, the term property line
refers to property lines of fee interest parcels and does not include the property
line of:
a. Any leasehold parcel; or

b. Any parcel which lacks access to a public street or has no area for on-site
parking and which has been created so as to avoid the distance limitation
described in Regulation 1.
Separation distance has been measured from the property line of the parcel
located at the northeast corner of Alta Drive and Buffalo Drive to the property line
of the school located at 7701 Ducharme Avenue.
3. In the case of an establishment proposed to be located on a parcel of at least 80

acres in size, the minimum distances referred to in Requirement 1 shall be
measured in a straight line:
a. From the nearest property line of the existing use to the nearest portion of the
structure in which the establishment will be located, without regard to
intervening obstacles; or
b. In the case of a proposed establishment which will be located within a
shopping center or other multiple tenant structure, from the nearest property
line of the existing use to the nearest property line of a leasehold or
occupancy parcel in which the establishment will be located, without regard to
This requirement is not applicable, as the subject site is located on a 1.71-acre

parcel.
4. The minimum distance requirements in Regulation 1 do not apply to:

a. An establishment which has a non-restricted gaming license in connection
with a hotel having 200 or more guest rooms on or before July 1, 1992 or in
connection with a resort hotel having in excess of 200 guest rooms after July
1, 1992; or
b. A proposed establishment having more than 50,000 square feet of retail floor
space.
SS
SUP-71079 [PRJ-71054]
Neither condition applies to the proposed use; therefore, the proposed

Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment is subject to distance separation
requirements.
5. All businesses which sell alcoholic beverages shall conform to the provisions of
LVMC Chapter 6.50.
The proposed use will be subject to all business licensing requirements outlined
in LVMC Chapter 6.50 if approved.
The use is proposed to be located within a 1,316-square-foot tenant space within a

28,145 square-foot shopping center. The floor plan indicates that a 14 square-foot
mobile beverage cart would be stationed near the rear of the art studio, but presumably
could be moved anywhere within the tenant space. At present, a liquor caterer is
established in the shopping center, but the business services offsite events only. The
proposed establishment would be the first onsite alcohol provider in this development.
The shopping center parcel is located 362 feet east of a junior high school, but is
separated from the protected use by a 106-foot right-of-way (Buffalo Drive) and a
residential development. The shopping center also backs up to an existing residential
development, but has no direct access to this neighborhood.
As there is no direct access from the shopping center parcel to the school and there is
no concentration of alcohol-related uses in this area, the use can be conducted in a
manner that is harmonious and compatible with other commercial uses in the shopping
center and with the commercial and residential uses on adjacent properties. Staff
therefore recommends approval of a Special Use Permit for a Beer/Wine/Cooler On-
Sale Establishment at this location, subject to conditions. If denied, beer, wine or wine
coolers would not be allowed to be sold for consumption in the subject tenant space.

The use is located within an established shopping center with other compatible
uses and is separated from the existing primary school by a primary arterial
(Buffalo Drive) and a residential development. These are mitigating factors that
eliminate incompatibility with the surrounding land uses.

proposed.
The subject shopping center site is physically suitable for a Beer/Wine/Cooler On-
Sale Establishment use. No additional parking is required beyond the existing
restaurant use.

The subject site receives access from Alta Drive, an 80-foot Major Collector and
Buffalo Drive, a 106-foot Primary Arterial as classified by the Master Plan of
Streets and Highways. Both roadways are adequate in size to accommodate the
proposed Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment use.
The proposed use will be subject to business license review and periodic
inspection, thereby safeguarding the public health, safety and general welfare.
The proposed Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale Establishment use does not meet

Conditional Use Regulation 1, which requires a 400-foot distance separation from
protected uses. A Special Use Permit is required.

The Board of City Commissioners approved a request for a Rezoning
(Z-0008-70) from R-E (Residence Estates) to C-1 (Limited
08/06/70
Commercial) at the northeast corner of Alta Drive and Buffalo Drive.
The Planning Commission recommended approval.
The Planning Commission approved a Plot Plan and Elevation Review
09/12/96 [Z-0008-70(2)] for a 27,900 square-foot shopping center at the
northeast corner of Alta Drive and Buffalo Drive.
A Code Enforcement inspection found that a church use was located
within 450 South Buffalo Drive, Suite #113. However, it was
04/12/11
determined that no Certificate of Occupancy had been issued for this
tenant space.

The City Council approved a request for a Special Use Permit (SUP-
42604) for a proposed Animal Hospital, Clinic or Shelter (With No
10/19/11 Outside Pens) within an existing 2,385 square-foot building at 490
South Buffalo Drive. The Planning Commission and staff
recommended approval of the request.

Field Check
The subject location is a tenant space within a corner shopping center.
A permanent wall sign for the Paint Party Night business appears to be
06/29/17 located on the tenant space at Suite #111, while a temporary sign is
located at the tenant space at Suite #109, which has limited visibility
from rights-of-way.
