ANALYSIS

The subject property is part oI Summerlin West, which is governed by a Development
Agreement between the Master Developer and the City oI Las Vegas, as well as the Summerlin
Development Standards. The proposed Tentative Map was reviewed and approved by the
Summerlin Design Review Committee on 07/17/14, prior to submittal to the City Ior review.

The Summerlin Development Standards designate the subject property as SF3 (Single Family,
Detached), which allows up to 10 residential units per gross acre. The proposed density oI 4.73
dwelling units per gross acre Ialls well within the maximum allowed. As this site is part oI a
master plan with its own improvement standards, it is not subject to Title 19.04 street section
requirements. Although it is not subject to connectivity requirements, the design oI the
subdivision has a Connectivity Score oI 1.4, which exceeds the preIerred ratio oI 1.30.

The proposed lots range in size Irom 6,050 square Ieet to 17,032 square Ieet. Site access is
proposed Irom the west end oI the site Irom Antelope Ridge Drive. This street will have access
to Alta Drive. Interior circulation is provided by 37-Ioot wide private streets with sidewalks on
one side with the use oI L-type curbs. No required trails are adjacent to the site. No
neighborhood parks are proposed.

allow a maximum 10 Ieet oI exposure thereIore, they are within standards. The plans are
showing a maximum 2.5-Ioot retaining wall on the north property line with no retaining on the
south property line. They also are showing a maximum 4-Ioot retaining wall on the east properly
line and no retaining wall on the west property line. All walls are within allowable limits.

The Clark County School District projects that approximately 73 primary and secondary school
students will be generated by the proposed development on this site. OI the three schools
serving the area (Givens Elementary School, Rogich Middle School and Palo Verde High
School), the District notes that only Palo Verde was not over capacity Ior the 2013-14 school
year, and no new schools are planned in this area at this time.


FINDINGS (TMP-54802)

The proposed Tentative Map conIorms to Nevada Revised Statutes, Title 19 and the Summerlin
Development Standards, and has been approved by the Summerlin Design Review Committee.
ThereIore, staII recommends approval with conditions.

`` STAFF REPORT ``



PRO1ECT DESCRIPTION

The applicant is requesting to add an additional drive-through lane at an existing restaurant at
7150 West Craig Road. This is located within a shopping center. The applicant is not meeting
the minimum conditions Ior a dual drive-through, since only two vehicle stacking per lane is
being provided. Due to the age oI the existing shopping mall and the location oI the restaurant,
staII does not see a circulation problem with the lack oI stacking with this request. ThereIore,
staII recommends approval with conditions.


ISSUES

A Special Use Permit (SUP-54788) is required to allow a dual drive-through without the
required three-vehicle stacking per lane.

ANALYSIS

The Drive-Through use is deIined as 'The use oI a dedicated drive lane that, incidental to a
principal use, provides access to a station, such as a window, door or mechanical device, Irom
which occupants oI a motor vehicle receive or obtain a product or service. The proposed use
meets the deIinition as described in the justiIication letter. There are no minimum Special Use
Permit conditions Ior this use.

Staff Report Page Four
August 12, 2014 - Planning Commission Meeting



A Special Use Permit is being requested as the requirement to provide a three-vehicle stacking
lane Ior each oI the drive-through lanes is not being provided. The site only has room to provide
stacking oI two vehicles per lane. There are three ingress/egress points to the parking lot where
the drive-through will be located. II there are vehicles stacked greater than two in each lane, this
will block one oI the ingress/egress points. StaII doesn`t view this as a major concern, since
there will be two remaining ways Ior customers to come and go Irom the restaurant. Also, no
parking spaces will be blocked, just one oI the aisles.

FINDINGS (SUP-54578)

In order to approve a Special Use Permit application, per Title 19.16.110(L) the Planning
Commission and City Council must aIIirm the Iollowing:

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 existing restaurant will remain compatible with the surrounding area, as it is adjacent
to similar commercial uses. The applicant will increase the drive-through capacity, which
will reduce congestion within the existing shopping center parking lot.

2. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use proposed.

The proposed dual drive-through use is located within an existing shopping center, which
is suitable Ior the proposal.

3. Street or highway facilities providing access to the property are or will be adequate in
size to meet the requirements of the proposed use.

The site is accessed via drive aisles Ied Irom Craig Road and Tenaya Way. The on-site
circulation will improve with a redesigned, dual drive-through lane that allows a queuing
oI vehicles in a more eIIicient manner. The restaurant will maintain a single pick-up aisle,

The proposea site is locatea 141 feet away of a City park, where 400 feet is requirea, which
represents a 65 reauction from coae requirements. In aaaition, the subfect property is

aeterminea that since there is no peaestrian access there is ample separation from the existing
City park lana use.

5. The minimum distance requirements in Requirement 1 do not apply to:

200 or more guest rooms on or beIore July 1, 1992 or in connection with a resort hotel having in
excess oI 200 guest rooms aIter July 1, 1992; or
b. A proposed establishment having more than 50,000 square Ieet oI retail Iloor space.

This conaition is not applicable as the subfect site is not locatea within a an establishment which

or a proposea establishment having more than 50,000 square feet of retail floor space.

* 6. All businesses which sell alcoholic beverages shall conIorm to the provisions oI LVMC

Chapter 6.50 if approvea.

The proposed use is located within 141 Ieet oI City park to the northeast where a 400-Ioot
minimum distance separation is required. The proposed location oI this use Iails to comply with
the minimum distance separation requirements Ior a Special Use Permit. The requested Waiver
to allow a 141-Ioot distance separation Irom a City park use represents a 65 reduction Irom the
required 400-Ioot separation mandated by Title 19. StaII has determined that since there is no
reasonable means oI access Irom the City Park to the Mixed-Use development within the 141-
Ioot distance separation there is ample separation Irom the existing City park land use. StaII has
added a condition oI approval requiring the business conIorm to all provisions oI LVMC Chapter
6.50 with regards to running a restaurant and alcohol license. It has been determined that the
proposed Beer/Wine/Cooler On-Sale use can be conducted in a manner that is compatible with
the surrounding land uses, thereIore, staII is recommending approval, as the use is considered
appropriate Ior the surrounding area.


FINDINGS (SUP-54786)

June 9, 2014

To whom it may concern,

I, Alexander Alexandrov, owner of The Crpe, am requesting a special use permit
allowing me to provide alcohol beverages with meals in the connes of my leased
space under the permitted use of the Beer, Wine and Cooler On-sale permit.

The Crpe specializes in gourmet crpes and provides nightly entertainment to our
guests who are accustomed to and expects us to provide them a selection of beer
and wine along with their food. We are a small restaurant completely funded by my
wife and I, thus the additional prots from selling alcohol will allow us fund an
expansion, hire more people, attract more customers and provide better service to
our guests.

We provide unique events and entertainment to our guests such as weekly live jazz
sessions on Fridays and Saturdays. We feature local musicians and support the
UNLV jazz program graduates by giving them a place to perform. We host an art
night on Wednesdays where local artists and beginners come and paint. We host
art exhibits featuring a new artist every few weeks. Mondays we work with an
improv group where local actors come and perform clean comedy.

All of the events we host provide different entertainment to suit the diverse
population of Summerlin and Las Vegas. By providing beer and wine we will attract
more people to our nightly events helping support local artists, musicians and
creating more jobs.


Sincerely yours,

Alex Alexandrov

ANALYSIS

The applicant is proposing six signs (two Iuel price, two Smith`s name and logo and two logos
only) to an approved Fuel Canopy in a shopping center at 7050 North Durango Drive in the
Montecito Overlay oI Town Center. There is an approved Master Sign Plan (CHARC-0019-05)
Ior this shopping center; thereIore, this amendment is required. The application has been
conditioned so any Iuture signage Ior this shopping center that meets all Title 19 and Town
Center Development Standards may be administratively reviewed by Planning Department staII.

Staff Report Page Five
August 12, 2014 - Planning Commission Meeting



The two Iuel price signs will be located on the east and west elevations along with the Smith`s
name and logo signs. The two logo only signs will go on the north and south elevations.

The signs range in size Irom 17.5 square Ieet up to 45.5 square Ieet, all within code
requirements. The signs and logo are not unsightly and will assist customers in Iinding the Iuel
pumps in this shopping center. Since Durango Drive is elevated above the shopping center on
the west and there are several Iree-standing buildings throughout the site, the signage is needed.
The signs are internally illuminated and are appropriate in size and number Ior the use.


FINDINGS (MSP-54794)

The proposed changes to the approved Master Sign Plan (CHARC-0019-05), meet the standards set
by the previous approval or conIorm to current Title 19 standards. For these reasons, staII
recommends approval oI this amendment.

ANALYSIS

This application is a request Ior a Variance to allow a proposed 861 square-Ioot Accessory
Structure (Class II) to be located nine Ieet Irom the rear property line where ten Ieet is minimum
required; and Iive Ieet away Irom the side property line where ten Ieet is minimum required by
code. The site is located at 9109 Ghost Mountain Avenue, in an R-PD2 (Residential Planned
Development 2 Units per Acre) zoning district. The submitted elevations and Iloor plan
indicate that the structure will be 14 Ieet in height measured to the mid-point oI the eave and be
utilized as a workshop and casita with an outdoor shower. There are no kitchen Iacilities
associated with the proposal. The accessory structure has been designed to aesthetically match
the principle dwelling with exterior stucco a tile rooI and decorative light Iixtures to match the
existing residence.

Accessory structures in this residential development must adhere to Title 19.06 Development
Standards as the Site Development Plan Review |Z-0050-01(1)| conditions oI approval omit
minimum setback requirements Ior accessory structures. The subject property lot size is 15,682
square Ieet in size, which is consistent with the R-D (Single Family Residential-Restricted)
zoning district. Title 19.06 requires accessory structures in the R-D (Single Family Residential-
Restricted) zoning district to maintain a minimum distance separation oI ten Ieet Irom the rear
and side property lines. No substantial evidence has been presented to warrant the requested
Variance. The proposed structure can be redesigned to meet current code requirements. As such,

FINDINGS (VAR-53871)

In accordance with the provisions oI Title 19.16.140(B), Planning Commission and City Council,
in considering the merits oI 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, selI-created or Iinancial in nature.

Additionally, Title 19.16.140(L) states:
'Where by reason oI exceptional narrowness, shallowness, or shape oI a speciIic piece oI
property at the time oI enactment oI the regulation, or by reason oI exceptional
topographic conditions or other extraordinary and exceptional situation or condition oI
the piece oI property, the strict application oI any zoning regulation would result in
peculiar and exceptional practical diIIiculties to, or exceptional and undue hardships
upon, the owner oI the property, a variance Irom that strict application may be granted so
as to relieve the diIIiculties or hardship, iI the relieI may be granted without substantial
detriment to the public good, without substantial impairment oI aIIected natural resources
and without substantially impairing the intent and purpose oI any ordinance or
resolution.

No evidence oI a unique or extraordinary circumstance has been presented, in that the applicant
has created a selI-imposed hardship by proposing to construct a 861 square-Ioot Accessory
Structure (Class II) to be located nine Ieet Irom the rear property line where ten Ieet is minimum
required; and Iive Ieet away Irom the side property line where ten Ieet is minimum required by
code. The proposed Accessory Structure could be placed within an alternative location that will
allow Ior conIormance to Title 19 requirements. In view oI the absence oI any hardships imposed
by the site`s physical characteristics, it is concluded that the applicant`s hardship is preIerential
in nature, and it is thereby outside the realm oI NRS Chapter 278 Ior granting oI Variances.

The proposed use is located within the Town Center Master Plan area. The property is zoned SC-
TC (Service Commercial Town Center), which intends to encourage low to medium intensity
retail, oIIice or other commercial uses. The proposed Retail Establishment with Accessory
Package Liquor OII-Sale use is permissible in the SC-TC (Service Commercial Town Center)
Special Land Use Designation with the approval oI a Special Use Permit.

In 2010, City Council denied an identical request Ior a Special Use Permit (SUP-38211) Ior an
Accessory Package Liquor use within the same 14,820 square-Ioot retail establishment at 7755
North Durango Drive. Planning Commission recommended denial. StaII recommended approval,
oI the original request, as the proposed use met all Title 19 minimum requirements.

The applicant is again requesting an Accessory Package Liquor use within a 14,820 square-Ioot
retail establishment at 7755 North Durango Drive. The Retail Establishment with Accessory
Package Liquor OII-Sale use is deIined as 'a retail establishment:

1. Whose license to sell alcoholic beverages authorizes their sale to consumers only and
not Ior resale, in original sealed or corked containers, Ior consumption oII the premises
where the same are sold; and

2. In which the sale oI alcoholic beverages is ancillary to the retail use, and in which no
more than 10 percent oI the retail Iloor space is regularly devoted to the display or
merchandising oI alcoholic beverages.

This use includes an establishment that provides on-premises wine, cordial and liqueur tasting iI
the licensee also holds a wine, cordial and liqueur tasting license Ior that location.

establishment. Furthermore, the applicant has indicated 50 square Ieet oI the existing 14,820
square Ieet oI retail Iloor area would be utilized Ior packaged liquor, which represents less than

ANALYSIS

The 1.77-acre site has a General Plan designation oI TC (Town Center) and a zoning category oI T-
C (Town Center), identiIying the property within the Town Center Special Purpose and Overlay
District. The subject site is currently designated SX-TC (Suburban Mixed Use Town Center) and
SC-TC (Service Commercial Town Center) by the Town Center Land Use Map. The Service
Commercial land use district allows low to medium intensity retail, oIIice or other commercial uses
that are intended to serve primarily the Centennial Hills Area and does not include more intense
general commercial characteristics. Examples include neighborhood shopping centers, theaters,
bowling alleys and other places oI public assembly and public/quasi-public uses.

The Suburban Mixed Use land use district can be characterized as being similar to the previously
described Service Commercial land use district with the addition oI medium density residential
being a permitted use and is intended to enable development with imaginative adjacency standards.

The applicant is requesting a Major ModiIication (MOD-54816) to change the Town Center
Special Land Use designation Ior the subject site to GC-TC (General Commercial Town
Center) land use district. The General Commercial Town Center land use district allows all
types oI retail, automotive service, oIIice and other general business uses oI a more intense
commercial character.

The applicant has not proposed any development or uses on this site to determine the precise
compatibility with the surrounding uses at this time. As such, staII must make the Iindings oII oI the
most intense uses allowed within the proposed zoning district. The existing land uses to the west oI
this development are designated SX-TC (Suburban Mixed Use Town Center) and the land uses to
the south are designated GC-TC (General Commercial Town Center). The requested Major
ModiIication would match the land use designation to the south and Iurther serve as a major retail
corridor Ior the residential properties to the west; thereIore, staII recommends approval.


FINDINGS (MOD-48831)

In order to approve the Major ModiIication application, pursuant to Town Center Development
Standards Manual (A)(3)(B) and Title 19.16.090, the Planning Commission or City Council must
aIIirm the Iollowing:
MOD-54816 PR1-54764]
GK

Staff Report Page Five
August 12, 2014 - Planning Commission Meeting



1. The proposal conforms to the General Plan.

The proposed Major ModiIication is in conIormance with the TC (Town Center)
designation under the Centennial Hills Sector Plan oI the General Plan. The change in
growth and development patterns within the neighboring community would now support
the commercial uses typically allowed in the GC-TC (General Commercial Town Center)
land use 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 applicant has not proposed any development or uses on this site to determine the
precise compatibility with the surrounding uses at this time. As such, staII must make
the Iindings oII oI the most intense uses allowed within the proposed zoning district.
The existing land uses to the west oI this development are designated SX-TC (Suburban
Mixed Use Town Center) and the land uses to the south are designated GC-TC
(General Commercial Town Center). The requested Major ModiIication would match
the land use designation to the south and Iurther serve as a major retail corridor Ior the
residential properties to the west.

3. Growth and development factors in the community indicate the need for or
appropriateness of the rezoning.

A shiIt in the growth and development Iactors has pointed towards the need to change
the land use designation to the GC-TC (General Commercial Town Center) district.
The existing GC-TC (General Commercial Town Center) land use district located to
the south oI the subject property would mean a continuous retail corridor servicing the
residential properties to the west, iI this request is approved. In addition, the commercial
properties would provide a buIIer Irom U.S. 95 and the residences to the west.

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 property is adjacent to Oso Blanca Road, which is designated as an 85-Ioot
wide Town Center Collector. No plans have been submitted showing site access to Oso
Blanca Road.

Mr. Flinn Fagg, AICP, Director


City of Las Vegas Department of Planning
333 N. Rancho Drive
Las Vegas, NV 89106

Re: APN: 125-17-210-448

Dear Mr. Fagg:

This letter is submitted as justification for an application for a Major Modification of the
Town Center Land Use Plan. The parcel is located in Ward 6, on the east side of Oso
Blanca Road, and northwest of the Durango Drive/US-95 interchange. The adjacent land
uses are single family residential and a condominium (apartment) complex on the west
side of Oso Blanca. The US-95 southbound off-ramp to Durango Drive bisects the east
side of the property.

The existing land use designations for the property are SX-TC (Suburban Mixed Use-
Town Center) and SC-TC (Service Commercial-Town Center). The SC-TC portion of
the property is severed by and east of the US-95 off-ramp which makes it virtually
unusable. The Suburban Mixed Use, which constitutes the usable portion of the property,
is characterized as being reflective of suburban development that utilizes vertical and
horizontal character elements to maximize employment and housing opportunities in
developments with imaginative adjacency standards. In reviewing the current land uses
within the area it is our belief that SX-TC was a proper designation for the property had it
been developed as part of the single family homes on the west side of Oso Blanca Road,
but in its current somewhat triangular configuration of only 1.77 acres it cannot be
developed with SX-TC uses and standards.

The applicant is requesting to change the land use plan to GC-TC (General Commercial-
Town Center) to allow development of the property with an as yet undetermined
commercial use. GC-TC is the designation of the adjacent property to the south, the
northern portion of which was approved for a mini-storage facility by the Planning
Commission on February 11, 2014 (SDR-52440). Our research has further shown that at
one time this relatively small parcel was part of a proposed retail center (SDR-23483)
which was approved by the City Council on October 17, 2007, so there is a history of
potential commercial use for the property.

here is a history of

additional information you may require or respond to any questions you may have.

(ProIessional OIIice and Parking) zoning district to a C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district.
Currently, the subject site is comprised oI an undeveloped lot and a vacant commercial building.
The applicant has indicated that the proposed C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district will help
Iacilitate redevelopment and reinvestment at the subject property. StaII recommends denial, as
the requested change to the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district is too intense and intrusive
Ior the surrounding properties, particularly the residentially zoned properties to the south and
east. II denied, the property would remain zoned P-R (ProIessional OIIice and Parking).


ISSUES

The C (Commercial) land use category allows Iour zoning districts: O (OIIice), P-O
(ProIessional OIIice), C-1 (Limited Commercial) and C-2 (General Commercial).
There are no proposed development plans submitted with this request at this time.

ANALYSIS

According to the provided justiIication letter, the applicant is requesting to rezone 0.44 acres
comprised oI two separate parcels Irom the P-R (ProIessional OIIice and Parking) zoning district
to the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district. One parcel oI the subject site is undeveloped
while the second parcel has a vacant building. The applicant has indicated that the proposed C-1
(Limited Commercial) zoning district will help Iacilitate redevelopment and reinvestment at the
subject property.

The adjacent land uses consist oI high density residential to the south and east, as well as oIIice
uses to the north. The proposed zoning district oI C-1 (Limited Commercial) is too intense Ior
the area. According to Title 19.08.070, the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district is intended
to provide most retail shopping and personal services, and may be appropriate Ior mixed use
developments. The district should be located on the periphery oI residential neighborhoods and
should be conIined to the intersections oI primary and secondary thoroughIares along major
retail corridors. The subject site is not conIined to a primary or secondary thoroughIare
intersection, nor is it located along a major retail corridor. In Iact, the surrounding area is
predominantly residential.

The existing P-R (ProIessional OIIice and Parking) zoning district is designed to be a transitional
zone to allow low intensity administrative and proIessional oIIices characterized by low volumes
oI direct daily client and customer contact. The goal oI the district is to allow Ior oIIice uses in
an area which is predominantly residential. The oIIice uses typically permitted in the P-R
(ProIessional OIIice and Parking) zoning district require less parking and vehicle trips than the
more intense uses allowed in the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district. For these reasons,
the existing P-R (ProIessional OIIice and Parking) zoning district is more appropriate, as it
provides a better transition Irom the residentially zoned properties to the south and east. As such,
staII recommends denial.


FINDINGS (ZON-53065)

In order to approve a Rezoning application, pursuant to Title 19.16.090(L), the Planning
Commission or City Council must aIIirm the Iollowing:

1. The proposal conforms to the General Plan.

The existing Downtown Area Land Use General Plan designation oI the subject site is C
(Commercial), which allows Ior commercial uses that are normally allowed within the
O (OIIice), SC (Service Commercial) and GC (General Commercial) General Plan land
use categories. The proposed Rezoning to C-1 (Limited Commercial) is consistent with
the current General Plan designation.
ZON-54561 (PR1-54200)
GK

Staff Report Page Five
August 12, 2014 - Planning Commission Meeting



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 allowed in C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning districts are too intense and
would be incompatible with the adjacent R-4 (High Density Residential) zoning district
located to the south and east oI the subject site.

3. Growth and development factors in the community indicate the need for or
appropriateness of the rezoning.

The subject site consists oI an undeveloped parcel and a vacant building. Although the
applicant is not proposing to develop the site at this time, Iuture development would
represent an inIill commercial parcel primarily surrounded by existing residential
development. It is more appropriate to develop the site as oIIice uses or residential uses
and allow the retail corridor along Las Vegas Boulevard and Oakey Boulevard to serve
the existing residences surrounding the subject site.

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 property is located along Santa Paula Drive. Santa Paula Drive has been identiIied
as a 51-Ioot wide Local Street by the Master Plan oI Streets and Highways. At this time
no development plans have been submitted showing any alterations to the existing site.

Dear planner,
APN# 162-03-311-003 (1704 Santa Paula) and APN# 162-03-311-004(1710 Santa Paula) are the 2 properties here I
propose to be rezoned to C1. I have purchased the total of 4 properties back in Dec 2012 with 1714 Santa Paula Dr and
1804 Weldon pl. Currently the 1804 Weldon and 1714 Santa Paula have been remodeled and rented as residential;
however, there are a lot of residential rentals in that area but not many commercial buildings. I do see this creates
demands for the commercial business to grow in that area which also will help to balance the development in the area.
1704/1710 Santa Paula properties are joined to each other with Fire Stone auto shop on the west and PR offices on the
north which are good to be combined and converted as C-1 zoning. The potential development for all three parcels
after combining them can best be utilized as mini storages, RV Park or commercial office buildings. Allowing this type of
growth of business will also keep traffic and noises for that area moderate. These two parcels have been vacant for
almost five years and I really would like to start building a new business on them to bring more activities to the area
instead of having homeless people occupying the gated lot.
I have successfully remodeled 1804 Weldon and 1714 Santa Paula within the supervised authorization of the city
inspectors. I am privileged so far of working with the city on this future development and would like to start up and
complete upon your approval.
I would like to find out what your requirements are for rezoning and ensure that your expectations are met. If you
require any further information, please let me know.
Thank you in advance for considering this request. I look forward to meeting with you to discuss this opportunity.
Sincerely,

Amy Pan

ANALYSIS

The OII-Premise Sign use is deIined as 'OII-premise signs are to be considered primarily a
speciIic type oI land use rather than as an incidental use to an existing land use. OII-premise
signs generally produce revenue to the property owner(s) as a land use as compared to on-
premise signs which in themselves do not produce revenue but are incidental to revenue
producing land use. However, because oI the special characteristics oI oII-premise signs as
compared to other types oI land uses and structures, certain qualiIications and requirements are
set Iorth in connection with oII-premise signs as a permitted use in certain zoning districts. The
proposed use meets the deIinition, since the property owner will be obtaining revenue Irom the
proposed signage.

The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements Ior this use include:

1. No oII-premise signs shall be erected in the public right-oI-way.
The proposea signs are not locatea in the public right-of-way.

2. No oII-premise sign certiIicate oI any kind shall be issued Ior an existing or proposed sign
unless the sign is consistent with all requirements oI this Title (including those protecting
existing signs).
The proposea signs meet all minimum requirements for an Off-Premise Sign, with the
exception of overall height. The applicant has requestea two associatea Jariances to
allow overall heights of 92 feet for each Off-Premise Sign.

3. Except as provided in Paragraph (12) below, oII premise signs are permitted in the C-1,
C-2, C-M and M Zoning Districts only.
Per Paragraph (12), an Off-Premise Sign is permittea in the C-J (Civic) aistrict if it is
controllea by a local government. The parcel meets the criteria.

4. No oII-premise sign shall have a surIace area greater than 672 square Ieet, except that an
embellishment oI not to exceed Iive Ieet above the regular rectangular surIace oI the sign
may be added iI the additional area contains no more than 128 square Ieet. Any
embellishment may include lettering, text, numerals or images, but only to the extent that
such items do not exceed IiIty percent oI any linear side oI the sign.
The proposea signs are 672 square feet, with a 60-foot embellishment.

5. OII-premise signs which are within 660 Ieet oI the right-oI-way and which can be read
Irom Interstate 15, US 95 Irom the north city limits to the Oran K. Gragson Highway, the
Oran K. Gragson Highway or Interstate 515 shall be no closer than 750 Ieet (measured
along the highway Irontage) to any other oII-premise sign along the same Irontage. Each
side oI the highway shall be considered a separate Irontage. The sign and all other oII-
premise signs not oriented toward the same highway shall be no closer than 300 Ieet in any
direction to any other oII premise sign, wherever located, including an oII premise sign
that is situated outside the corporate boundaries oI the City.

The nearest Off-Premise Sign is more than 750 feet to the east of the proposea signs. In
aaaition, the proposea signs are at least 750 feet away from each other.

6. OII-premise signs shall be no higher than 40 Ieet Irom grade at the point oI construction,
except that an oII-premise sign within 60 Ieet oI the right-oI-way line oI the street to which
it is oriented which, at a height oI 40 Ieet, will have a signiIicant portion oI its display
surIace obscured Irom view Irom the travel lanes oI the street may be increased to a
maximum oI 55 Ieet when authorized by the City Council.
The proposea signs are aafacent to the U.S. 95 Freeway ana are 92 feet tall. Jariance
applications are requirea to allow the aaaitional height.

7. OII-premise signs shall not be located closer than 10 Ieet to the right-oI-way line oI a
Ireeway nor closer than 50 Ieet to the intersection oI the present or Iuture rights-oI-way oI

any Iraternal, veteran, civic or service organization.
The proposea signs are locatea on a aetention center ownea ana controllea by the City
of Las Jegas.

The proposed OII-Premise Signs are designed within all Title 19 code standards, with the
exception oI overall height. The applicant is requesting Variances (VAR-55026 and VAR-
55027) to allow each sign to be 92 Ieet tall where the maximum height allowed is 75 Ieet. The
proposed OII-Premise signs would be located adjacent to an elevated Ireeway and its
accompanying 20-Ioot tall sound attenuation wall. The additional height is necessary to achieve
Iull sign visibility Irom the Ireeway. In addition, the proposed signs are aesthetically pleasing
and compatible with the area. The 2020 Master Plan, Fiscal Management Policy 6.1.6 states:
'That the City, where possible use public/private partnerships to pay Ior public capital
improvements. This project supports this policy as a revenue source. For these reasons, staII
recommends approval oI both Special Use Permit applications and associated Variance
applications, with conditions.

FINDINGS (VAR-55026)

In accordance with the provisions oI Title 19.16.140(B), Planning Commission and City Council,
in considering the merits oI 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, selI-created or Iinancial in nature.

Additionally, Title 19.16.140(L) states:
'Where by reason oI exceptional narrowness, shallowness, or shape oI a speciIic piece oI
property at the time oI enactment oI the regulation, or by reason oI exceptional
topographic conditions or other extraordinary and exceptional situation or condition oI
the piece oI property, the strict application oI any zoning regulation would result in
peculiar and exceptional practical diIIiculties to, or exceptional and undue hardships
upon, the owner oI the property, a variance Irom that strict application may be granted so
as to relieve the diIIiculties or hardship, iI the relieI may be granted without substantial
detriment to the public good, without substantial impairment oI aIIected natural resources
and without substantially impairing the intent and purpose oI any ordinance or
resolution.

The applicant has provided evidence oI a unique or extraordinary circumstance, in that the
existing elevated Ireeway located to the north oI the subject site contains a 20-Ioot tall sound
attenuation wall. The request to construct a 92-Ioot tall OII-Premise Sign is necessary to obtain
Iull visibility over the existing sound wall. In view oI this hardship imposed by the site`s
physical characteristics, it is concluded that the applicant`s hardship is not preIerential in nature,
and it is thereby within the realm oI NRS Chapter 278 Ior granting oI Variances.

ANALYSIS

In 2013, the Planning Commission approved a Special Use Permit (SUP-49534) Ior a 75-Ioot tall
OII-Premise sign at 3100 Stewart Avenue. The applicant is requesting to amend the previously
approved OII-Premise Sign and raise the height to 92 Ieet where a maximum height oI 75 Ieet is
allowed. A Variance is required to raise the overall height beyond 75 Ieet. The existing 75-Ioot
tall OII-Premise Sign is located adjacent to an elevated Ireeway and its accompanying 20-Ioot
tall sound attenuation wall. The additional height is necessary to achieve Iull sign visibility Irom
the Ireeway. Title 19 allows Ior OII-Premise signs to increase in height by up to 40 Ieet when
adjacent to an elevated Ireeway. The intent oI the regulation is to allow Ior greater sign visibility.
The existing 20-Ioot tall sound attenuation wall is taller than typical sound walls Iound
throughout the Las Vegas Valley. As a result, the allowance to increase the sign height by up to

August 12, 2014 - Planning Commission Meeting



40 Ieet is not suIIicient enough to improve visibility at the subject site. StaII supports the request
to increase the existing OII-Premise Sign to 92 Ieet, as doing so maintains the original intent oI
Title 19, which is to improve overall visibility when signs are adjacent to elevated Ireeways.


FINDINGS (VAR-55028)

In accordance with the provisions oI Title 19.16.140(B), Planning Commission and City Council,
in considering the merits oI 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, selI-created or Iinancial in nature.

Additionally, Title 19.16.140(L) states:
'Where by reason oI exceptional narrowness, shallowness, or shape oI a speciIic piece oI
property at the time oI enactment oI the regulation, or by reason oI exceptional
topographic conditions or other extraordinary and exceptional situation or condition oI
the piece oI property, the strict application oI any zoning regulation would result in
peculiar and exceptional practical diIIiculties to, or exceptional and undue hardships
upon, the owner oI the property, a variance Irom that strict application may be granted so
as to relieve the diIIiculties or hardship, iI the relieI may be granted without substantial
detriment to the public good, without substantial impairment oI aIIected natural resources
and without substantially impairing the intent and purpose oI any ordinance or
resolution.

The applicant has provided evidence oI a unique or extraordinary circumstance, in that the
existing elevated Ireeway located to the north oI the subject site contains a 20-Ioot tall sound
attenuation wall. The request to construct a 92-Ioot tall OII-Premise Sign is necessary to obtain
Iull visibility over the existing sound wall. In view oI this hardship imposed by the site`s
physical characteristics, it is concluded that the applicant`s hardship is not preIerential in nature,
and it is thereby within the realm oI NRS Chapter 278 Ior granting oI Variances.

ANALYSIS

The applicant is requesting approval oI a Variance to address a citation issued by Code
EnIorcement Ior excessive accessory structure height at 5636 Donald Road. The subject site is
approximately two acres in size, contains a 1,092 square-Ioot single Iamily residence and two
horse stables located within the rear yard. The property has a current zoning designation oI R-E
(Residence Estates), which allows Ior the accommodation oI horses. The applicant constructed
two accessory structures, a 16-Ioot tall and a 37-Ioot tall horse training apparatuses that exceed
the height oI the main dwelling unit. According to the applicant`s justiIication letter, the heights
VAR-53657 PR1-52356]
GK

Staff Report Page Four
August 12, 2014 - Planning Commission Meeting



oI the accessory structures are required to saIely train the horses Ior 'trick riding. The applicant
is a competitive vaulter, which is the sport oI gymnastics on horseback. He started the company
Big Horse Productions, which travels across the United States perIorming equestrian acrobatic
shows. Big Horse Company is based in Las Vegas where the horses stay at 5636 Donald Road
while not traveling. The applicant resides at the location and uses the two-acre site to train his
personal horses. The letter Iurther explains that although no commercial events take place on the
subject site, the applicant does invite neighbors to watch the training at any time.

The proposed accessory structures meet all other Title 19 requirements regarding location,
setbacks, and building area. However, the applicant has presented no evidence oI unique or
extraordinary circumstances pursuant to Title 19.16.140 that would justiIy the request.
ThereIore, staII recommends denial.



FINDINGS (VAR-53657)

In accordance with the provisions oI Title 19.16.140(B), Planning Commission and City Council,
in considering the merits oI 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, selI-created or Iinancial in nature.

Additionally, Title 19.16.140(L) states:
'Where by reason oI exceptional narrowness, shallowness, or shape oI a speciIic piece oI
property at the time oI enactment oI the regulation, or by reason oI exceptional
topographic conditions or other extraordinary and exceptional situation or condition oI
the piece oI property, the strict application oI any zoning regulation would result in
peculiar and exceptional practical diIIiculties to, or exceptional and undue hardships
upon, the owner oI the property, a variance Irom that strict application may be granted so
as to relieve the diIIiculties or hardship, iI the relieI may be granted without substantial
detriment to the public good, without substantial impairment oI aIIected natural resources
and without substantially impairing the intent and purpose oI any ordinance or
resolution.

No evidence oI a unique or extraordinary circumstance has been presented, in that the applicant
has created a selI-imposed hardship by constructing the accessory structures without Iirst
obtaining required entitlements and building permits. Alternative design oI the structure would
allow conIormance to the Title 19 requirements. In view oI the absence oI any hardships
imposed by the site`s physical characteristics, it is concluded that the applicant`s hardship is
preIerential in nature, and it is thereby outside the realm oI NRS Chapter 278 Ior granting oI
Variances.

PRJ-52356
VAR-53657
To Whom it May Concern,
We would like to apply for a Variance to allow a 16-foot and 37-foot tall
accessory structure where Title 19.06.060 limits the height to that of the main
dwelling unit.
The purpose of our variance Backyard Toys. We use our 37 apparatus
for training purposes with our horses. This allows us to safely train for the
trick riding we do. This is intended for personal use and there will be no
public event taking place at this property where we invite people to watch
at any time. There is also a 10 tall structure, which is a seating structure
for us to watch the training. There is also a 20 structure, which is a pole
with a light on it (the light does not work or have power to it).
We believe the variance should be approved because it is not affecting
anyone in a negative way. It is not obstructing any view, as most of the
surrounding properties are vacant lots. There are already 6 telephone poles
of similar hight existing on the property that were put up by NV Energy.
Several of our neighbors also have light poles that exceed the height of
their homes as well. There is no reason we should be treated differently.
The apparatus is over 100 from the house and over 50 from the closest
property line. This ensures it has no way of causing any damage to any
structure on the property. We have collected 44 signatures from our closest
neighbors stating that they are not effected by these apparatuses in any
negative way. In addition to that, we speak to many of them on a daily
basis and they enjoy walking by and seeing us train our horses.
Sincerely, Erik Martonovich

will cover approximately six percent oI the rear and side yard area. As proposed, the structure
will encroach Iive Ieet into the side yard setback, which represents a 50 percent setback
reduction. Building Permit (#260819) was issued with a rear yard setback oI 10 Ieet Ior this
proposed pool house. II this Variance is approved, then Building Permit (#260819) may be
revised to reIlect the reduced setback.

This application has been properly noticed to governmental and outside agencies. The Las Vegas
Valley Water District (LVVWD) was the only agency that responded with the comments below:

'The property is currently served but plumbing calculations Ior the proposed pool house/casita
will need to be submitted to LVVWD to determine iI the existing meter can meet the additional
demand.

The requested Variance does not comply with setbacks Ior R-E (Residence Estates) zoning
district and the reduced setback is not consistent with the characteristics oI single-Iamily homes
on large lots in the Rural Preservation Overlay District. Additionally, the lot is not irregular in
shape and there are no unique site characteristics. This application is the result oI a selI-imposed
hardship; thereIore, staII recommends denial this request.


FINDINGS (VAR-54750)

In accordance with the provisions oI Title 19.16.140(B), Planning Commission and City Council,
in considering the merits oI 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, selI-created or Iinancial in nature.

Additionally, Title 19.16.140(L) states:
'Where by reason oI exceptional narrowness, shallowness, or shape oI a speciIic piece oI
property at the time oI enactment oI the regulation, or by reason oI exceptional
topographic conditions or other extraordinary and exceptional situation or condition oI
the piece oI property, the strict application oI any zoning regulation would result in
peculiar and exceptional practical diIIiculties to, or exceptional and undue hardships
upon, the owner oI the property, a variance Irom that strict application may be granted so
as to relieve the diIIiculties or hardship, iI the relieI may be granted without substantial
detriment to the public good, without substantial impairment oI aIIected natural resources
and without substantially impairing the intent and purpose oI any ordinance or
resolution.

No evidence oI a unique or extraordinary circumstance has been presented, in that the applicant
has created a selI-imposed hardship by proposing to construct an Accessory Structure (Class II)
|pool house| in the required rear yard setback. Alternatively, the pool could be constructed with
the required 10-Ioot rear yard setback as approved by Building Permit (#260819) and in
conIormance with Title 19 requirements. In view oI the absence oI any hardships imposed by
the site`s physical characteristics, it is concluded that the applicant`s hardship is preIerential in
nature, and it is thereby outside the realm oI NRS Chapter 278 Ior granting oI Variances.

ANALYSIS

There was some conIusion to what the residential development standards are Ior this property.
The development standards Ior the Hyde Park Tract were established over a halI-century ago in
1951 when a tract oI land was Rezoned Irom R-A (Ranch Estates) to R-1(Single Family
Residence). Chapter 24 oI 'The code oI the City oI Las Vegas Nevada 1949 determined the
permitted uses and building requirements Ior this development. The required building setback Ior
a building in an R-1 (Single Family Residential) zoning district was 'ten percent oI the width oI
the lot, but such side yard not exceed twenty-Iive Ieet and shall not be less than Iive Ieet in
width. Chapter 24 Section 12 (D)(b) states: 'Cornices, canopies, eaves or other similar Ieature
not providing additional Iloor space within the building may extend into a required yard not to
exceed two Ieet. The zoning code has changed a number oI times over year since the original
approval. This patio cover/carport was constructed within the last year and thereIore; Title
19.060.040 and 19.060.070 detail the development standards (setbacks) Ior this patio
cover/carport.

This application is a request Ior a Variance to allow an existing patio cover on the east property
line where Iive Ieet is required. The patio cover is on the side yard property line, which
represents a 100 percent setback reduction. The requested Variance does not comply with the
minimum side yard setback Ior a R-1 (Single Family Residential) zoning district and is not
consistent with the characteristics oI single-Iamily homes throughout the valley.

Several patio covers exist in the required setback area on Dover Place; however, only one
received approval oI a setback Variance. Every Variance is evaluated separately and the approval
oI one Variance does not guarantee the approval oI another. This requested setback Variance is
on a lot that is not irregular in shape and there are no unique site characteristics. The patio cover
was constructed without permits and Iails to meet code. This is a selI-imposed hardship. StaII
recommends denial oI this request. II this Variance is denied, then the patio cover must be
removed or reconIigured to conIorm to current code requirements.


FINDINGS (VAR-54820)

In accordance with the provisions oI Title 19.16.140(B), Planning Commission and City Council,
in considering the merits oI 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, selI-created or Iinancial in nature.
VAR-54820 PR1-54754]

Staff Report Page Five
August 12, 2014 - Planning Commission Meeting



Additionally, Title 19.16.140(L) states:
'Where by reason oI exceptional narrowness, shallowness, or shape oI a speciIic piece oI
property at the time oI enactment oI the regulation, or by reason oI exceptional
topographic conditions or other extraordinary and exceptional situation or condition oI
the piece oI property, the strict application oI any zoning regulation would result in
peculiar and exceptional practical diIIiculties to, or exceptional and undue hardships
upon, the owner oI the property, a variance Irom that strict application may be granted so
as to relieve the diIIiculties or hardship, iI the relieI may be granted without substantial
detriment to the public good, without substantial impairment oI aIIected natural resources
and without substantially impairing the intent and purpose oI any ordinance or
resolution.

No evidence oI a unique or extraordinary circumstance has been presented, in that the applicant
has created a selI-imposed hardship by constructing a patio cover on the property line without
permits. Alternatively, the patio cover could be reduced in size and in a manner that would allow
conIormance to the Title 19 requirements. In view oI the absence oI any hardships imposed by
the site`s physical characteristics, it is concluded that the applicant`s hardship is preIerential in
nature, and it is thereby outside the realm oI NRS Chapter 278 Ior granting oI Variances.

ANALYSIS

Development on this site is subject to the Town Center Development Standards. Currently, the
1.55-acre subject site is undeveloped at 6775 North Durango Drive. In 2013, the City Council
approved a Site Development Plan Review (SDR-50105) Ior a 3,940 square-Ioot convenience
store (with Iuel pumps) and a 1,996 square-Ioot car wash, Iull service with a waiver oI the Town
Center Development Standards to allow the gas station to be oriented away Irom public right-oI-
way.

The applicant is currently proposing to amend the original Site Development Plan Review (SDR-
50105) by requesting landscaping alterations. SpeciIically, the applicant proposes to eliminate
one parking lot tree Irom the original approval. According to the submitted justiIication letter,
the removal oI the tree was necessary to Iacilitate a request made by the city oI Las Vegas Fire
Department to relocate the previously approved propane Iacility. The propane Iacility would
relocate to the northeast corner oI the subject site and would maintain its minimum distance
separation oI 330 Ieet Irom any single-Iamily residential dwelling. In an eIIort to mitigate the
loss oI one parking lot tree, the applicant has proposed an additional three 36-inch Rio Grande
Ash trees adjacent to the previously approved car wash building. As a result, the overall site
would gain an additional two trees Irom the original approval.

In addition, the applicant is proposing to replace the previously approved street tree species
along Durango Drive and Deer Springs Way. Previously, a combination oI 36-inch box Rio
Grande Ash and 25-Ioot tall Mexican Fan Palms were to be planted along Deer Springs Way and
Durango Drive. The applicant is requesting to eliminate both the 36-inch box Rio Grande Ash
trees and 25-Ioot tall Mexican Fan Palms along Durango Drive and replace them with 12-Ioot
tall Mexican Fan Palms. In addition, the applicant is requesting to replace the 25-Ioot tall
Mexican Fan Palms along Deer Springs Way with 12-Ioot tall Mexican Fan Palms. The
previously approved 36-inch box Rio Grande Ash trees along Deer Springs Way would remain.

According to the Town Center Landscaping Standards Iound in section (C)(2)(B), the Mexican
Fan Palms are a permissible species Ior use as street trees, however, the section requires that the
Mexican Fan Palms be at least 25 Ieet in height. A Waiver oI the Town Center Landscape
Standards is required to eliminate the parking lot tree and replace the street tree species. StaII
cannot support the requested Waiver, as the applicant`s justiIication letter omits any validation
Ior proposing 12-Ioot tall Mexican Fan Palms rather than 25-Ioot tall Mexican Fan Palms.

Furthermore, the previously approved landscape plan, which was in compliance with Town
Center Standards, was also in compliance with the Crime Prevention Through Environmental
Design (CPTED) program. This design program is deIined as 'the proper design and eIIective
use oI the built environment that can lead to a reduction in the Iear and incidence oI crime and an
improvement in the quality oI liIe. The program goals are to reduce opportunities Ior crime that
may be inherent in the design oI structures or in the design oI neighborhoods. The program
includes the use oI Iour overlapping strategies; access control, natural surveillance, territorial
reinIorcement and maintenance. The previously approved landscape plan (SDR-50105), was in
compliance with these Iour strategies. SpeciIically, the natural surveillance strategy uses the
design oI an area so as to allow increased visibility in an eIIort to increase the chances that a
crime could be witnessed and reported. The strategy details trimming bushes that are lower than
42 inches in height and trees that are taller than seven Ieet in height to increase visibility,
however the program does not stipulate the removal or replacement oI tree species as a method
to do so.

The applicant is also proposing to construct a 24-Ioot tall pylon sign at the northeast corner oI
the subject site. The proposed pylon sign does not conIorm to all minimum requirements as
outlined in the Town Center Sign Standards Section (F)(2)(A). According to the submitted
elevation plans, the pylon sign would only advertise one tenant. Pylon signs advertising only one
tenant are permissible in the GC-TC (General Commercial Town Center) special land use
designation, however, that tenant must occupy a minimum oI 20,000 square Ieet oI gross Iloor
area. According to the submitted site plan, the applicant only occupies 5,936 square Ieet oI gross
Iloor area. The applicant states in the submitted justiIication letter that the remaining
undeveloped Iuture commercial property is not ready Ior development, thus the pylon sign would
WVR-54398 and WVR-54400 PR1-53401]

August 12, 2014 - Planning Commission Meeting



only be utilized by the single user. However, the submitted elevation plans illustrate that the
pylon sign is to be utilized to advertise gasoline prices, leaving no available space Ior any Iuture
tenants at any time. Any additional Iuture tenants would be Iorced to construct a second pylon
sign and possibly seek the same Waiver request. StaII cannot support the request, as it would
hinder Iuture development options.

In addition, all pylon signs are required to be set back Iive Ieet Irom any property line. The
applicant is proposing a 1-Ioot setback Irom the property line at the northeast corner oI the
subject site. StaII cannot support the setback request, as shiIting the proposed pylon sign to the
south would allow compliance with the Iive-Ioot setback requirement.

The applicant is also proposing a 73-Ioot tall Ilag pole to be located 24 Ieet east oI the previously
approved car wash building. According to the submitted elevation plans, the proposed 73-Ioot
tall Ilag pole would Ily a 600 square-Ioot oIIicial American Ilag. The proposed Ilag pole does not
conIorm to the minimum requirements as outlined by the Town Center Sign Standards Section
(F)(2)(D). According to Section (F)(2)(D), oIIicial Ilags oI governments shall not be Ilown Irom
a pole, the top oI which is more than 40 Ieet in height. According to the applicant`s justiIication
letter, the applicant is seeking a waiver to allow the additional 33 Ieet in height so the Ilag is
visible Irom Interstate 215. StaII cannot support the request, as the subject site is not in close
proximity to the elevated right-oI-way, which is approximately 850 Ieet south oI the subject site.


FINDINGS (WVR-54398)

The Town Center Development Standards Section (F), speciIically outlines the minimum
requirements Ior both a pylon sign and Ilag pole. The proposal to construct the pylon sign one-
Ioot Irom the property line and construct a Ilag pole 33-Ieet above the maximum height allowed
is preIerential in nature. The applicant Iails to substantiate either request. In addition, the request
to allow a pylon sign to be utilized by one tenant, in which the tenant does not occupy at least
20,000 square Ieet oI gross Iloor area, would severely hinder any Iuture commercial
development on the commercial subdivision with plans to utilize a pylon sign. This proposal
does not meet the minimum requirements as outlined by the Town Center Development
Standards and the applicant Iails to adequately justiIy the requests; thereIore, staII recommends
denial.


FINDINGS (WVR-54400)

The Town Center Development Standards Section (C), require landscaping standards that the
applicant could install without the need Ior Waivers. The elimination oI the parking lot tree could
be avoided with minor site design adjustments. In addition, the applicant Iailed to provide any
type oI validation in the justiIication letter to substantiate the request to replace 36-inch Rio

Dear Flinn Fagg,

Per your conversation with our client Raymond J. Shapiro, Gregory E. Borgel with Moreno &
Associates, Inc, and office of Councilman Steve Ross, the changes to the monument/ directional
sign at the drive-cut on Deer Springs have been made to show conforming sign at 7'-0" with 12
square feet of signage area. Also, per your conversation, the changes to the sign will not require
for the application to be heard at public hearings, but rather be approved administratively.

Please refer to attached updated elevation of the sign (PRJ53401-EV004) to show the changes.

Thank you. If you have any questions or require additional information, please call me at
(702) 263-6176 or Fax at (844) 361-2582.

`` STAFF REPORT ``



PRO1ECT DESCRIPTION

The applicant has requested a Waiver oI the Town Center Development Streetscape standards
associated with approved Site Development Plan Review (SDR-8066); to allow an alternative
design adjacent to North Durango Drive. An existing underground utility conduit runs adjacent
to North Durango Drive underneath the proposed streetscape amenity zone Iound at the back oI
curb to the landscape area and is preventing the installation oI larger vegetation. The applicant
has requested to relocate the required streetscape trees Irom the amenity zone to the landscaping
buIIer behind the sidewalk. The applicant has also requested to replace required Rio Grande Ash
shade tree, with a Chitalpa accent tree. StaII has determined that the proposal to relocate the
required amenity zone trees adjacent to North Durango Drive to the landscaping buIIer behind
the sidewalk can be supported due to the existing site conditions. However, staII does not
support the requested Waiver to allow Chitalpa accent trees in place oI the required Rio Grande
Ash shade tree. StaII, thereIore recommends approval oI the request with conditions. II denied,
the previously approved Site Development Plan Review will remain in place and the revision to
relocate the required amenity zone trees will not be allowed.


ISSUES

An existing underground utility conduit is preventing the installation oI required streetscape
trees within a portion oI the North Durango Drive streetscape amenity zone.
Applicant has also requested to replace required Rio Grande Ash shade tree, with a Chitalpa
accent tree.

ANALYSIS
The subject site is located within a SC (Service Commercial) special land use designation that
allows Ior low to medium intensity retail, oIIice and other commercial uses. The site was the
subject oI a previously approved Site Development Plan Review (SDR-8066) Ior a proposed
239,400 square-Ioot oIIice complex on the subject site.

Town Center Streetscape Development Streetscape standards require trees to be installed 35-Ieet
on center in an alternating pattern consisting oI one shade tree and two palm trees along Parkway
and Primary Arterial amenity zones. In addition, Iive gallon planting material shall be planted to
reach 75 percent coverage within three years.

The applicant has requested a Waiver oI the Town Center Development Streetscape standards to
allow an alternative design adjacent to North Durango Drive. An existing underground utility
conduit runs adjacent to North Durango Drive underneath the proposed streetscape amenity zone
Iound at the back oI curb to the landscape area that is preventing the installation oI larger
vegetation. The applicant has requested to relocate the required streetscape trees Irom the
amenity zone to the landscaping buIIer behind the sidewalk. The applicant has also requested to
replace required Rio Grande Ash shade tree, with a Chitalpa accent tree due to root system issues
and large canopy size. All required shrubs will also remain in the amenity zone.

StaII has determined that the proposal to relocate the required amenity zone trees adjacent to
North Durango Drive to the landscaping buIIer behind the sidewalk can be supported due to the
existing site conditions. However, staII does not support the requested Waiver to allow Chitalpa
accent trees in place oI the required Rio Grande Ash shade tree. It`s been determined that the
replacement oI required shade trees will create inconsistency with existing and Iuture streetscape
improvements. StaII, thereIore recommends approval oI the request with conditions. II denied,
the previously approved Site Development Plan Review will remain in place and the revision to
relocate the required amenity zone trees will not be allowed.

The proposed development is located within the Airport Overlay District with a 175-Ioot height
restriction, with which the development is in conIormance. No other special plan areas or
overlay districts apply to this site.

Comments received Irom the Clark County Department oI Aviation included the Iollowing:

Federal Aviation Regulations (Title 14, Part 77) require that the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) be notiIied beIore the construction or alteration oI any building or
structure greater than 200 Ieet in height ( 77.13(a)(1)) or that will exceed a slope oI 100:1
Ior a distance oI 20,000 Ieet Irom the nearest point oI any airport runway greater than 3,200
Ieet in length ( 77.13 (a)(2)(i)). Such notiIication allows the FAA to determine what
impact, iI any, the proposed development will have upon navigable airspace, and allows the
FAA to determine whether the development requires obstruction marking or lighting.

The proposed development will exceed the 100:1 notice requirement Ior the North Las Vegas
Airport (VGT). ThereIore, as required by 14 CFR Part 77, the FAA must be notiIied oI the
proposed construction or alteration.

A condition oI approval has been added to address this issue.

It is noted that a multi-use transportation trail is required along the south side oI Lone Mountain
Road adjacent to this site. The site plan depicts the required 10-Ioot wide bi-directional concrete
path, as well as Iive Ieet oI landscaping on either side oI the path except where adjacent to a
required bus turnout lane. The Transportation Trails Element oI the Las Vegas 2020 Master Plan
states that when adjacent to a bus turnout lane, the 10-Ioot wide concrete path is allowed to abut
the right-oI-way without an intervening landscape buIIer. A general plan amendment to amend
the Transportation Trails Element is thereIore not required. The Department oI Public Works
will require dedication oI an easement Ior all portions oI the trail outside oI the right-oI-way
concurrent with site development. The Regional Transportation Commission is requiring a
modiIied bus turnout be completed as a condition oI approval.

Access to the site is provided by a driveway on the adjacent west parcel at Rainbow Boulevard
with an exit only to Lone Mountain Road. Seventeen oI the parking spaces are accessed directly
Irom the drive aisle and the remainders are oII two new drive aisles. The parking and circulation
layout is adequate, given the irregular shape oI the site. A recorded cross access agreement is
required.

This project will add approximately 209 trips per day on Lone Mountain Road, Rancho Drive
and Rainbow Boulevard. Lone Mountain Road is currently at 45 percent oI capacity; Rancho
Drive is at 49 percent oI capacity; and Rainbow Boulevard is at 23 percent capacity. The
existing streets are designed to handle the traIIic generated by this project.

The building will have a similar architecture style as the existing apartment building to the west
creating a seamless aesthetic Ior the joined projects. The three-story building has balconies and
several architectural pop-outs creating a lively and interesting Iaade. Since no commercial or
retail space is on the ground Iloor as normally required Ior a Senior Citizen Apartment building
in a C-1 (Limited Commercial) zone, several Waivers have been requested. StaII supports these
Waivers due to the unique shape and location oI the parcel and the Iact that the project is being
developed as a second phase oI the adjacent project to the west.

The impact oI the requested Exception Ior a reduced number oI perimeter landscape trees will be
minimal since the project is being developed as a second phase oI the apartments to the west. As
such, the parking lot and drive aisle cross the parcel line along the west and thereIore, the need
Ior the Exception. A condition has been added that remapping may be required.

Given the inIill nature and shape oI the parcel, this project is ideal Ior the location. Although
several Waivers and Exceptions are required, staII recommends approval Ior both applications.


FINDINGS (SUP-54788)

In order to approve a Special Use Permit application, per Title 19.16.110(L) the Planning
Commission and City Council must aIIirm the Iollowing:

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 Senior Citizen Apartment use can be conducted in a manner that is
harmonious and compatible with existing surrounding land uses and with Iuture
surrounding land uses. The proposed use will be an appropriate buIIer between the
existing multi-Iamily residences to the south and the commercial properties to the north
and east.

2. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use proposed.

The site is suitable Ior a Senior Citizen Apartment complex. Access and circulation have
been designed to accommodate the shape oI the site and to increase saIety.

3. Street or highway facilities providing access to the property are or will be adequate in
size to meet the requirements of the proposed use.

Lone Mountain Road and Rainbow Boulevard are both built to capacity and are adequate
in size to meet the requirements oI the Senior Citizen Apartment use.

Re: Justification Letter for


Lone Mountain Senior Apartments Phase 2, SUP, SDR, Waivers, Variance, &
Exceptions

To Whom it May Concern:

Impulse Civil Engineering represents Ovation Development (the Applicant) on behalf of


Lone Mountain Seniors LLC and David & Jessica Livingston. The Applicant is currently
negotiating with their partners on the development of this project and all parties are
aware of this request. We are respectfully requesting a site development plan review,
special use permit, exceptions, waivers, and a variance for a proposed senior housing
project generally located on the southeast corner of Lone Mountain Road and Rainbow
Boulevard, particularly known as APN: 138-02-101-002 (the Site). The Site is
approximately 1.25 acres with a proposed 60 unit building. In conjunction with the site
development plan review, the Applicant is seeking a special use permit, waivers,
variance, and exceptions.

Special Use Permit to Allow Senior Housing


The Applicant is proposing a senior housing project. Senior housing is an appropriate
use within a C-1 zoned district with a use permit. There is a multi-family, R-3
development located adjacent to the south of the Site, a proposed Senior housing project
located adjacent to the west of the Site (SUP 41039, SDR 41043), and existing
commercial located to the east of the Site. A senior housing development located near
commercial uses and other multi-family uses are compatible. The Applicant is seeking a
waiver from the following special use permit requirements. Since there is a shortage of
senior housing in the Las Vegas Valley, these waivers are appropriate because the
project will be primarily residential with no commercial uses open to the public.

The use shall be developed and operated only in connection with ground-
level nonresidential development. In the case of a multi-floor structure, the
apartments themselves must be located above the ground floor, but access
ways, entryways and community rooms may be located on the ground
floor.
The primary resident or guest entryway to the apartments must be
independent of ground floor commercial uses, and must be directly
accessible from and oriented to a street.

The overall architecture of the front elevation shall highlight the difference
in uses through variations in volume and proportion, and shall be treated as
a cohesive whole through finishes and colors.

Site Development Plan Review


The Applicant is proposing a 60 unit senior housing project. Approximately 20 units will
be located on the first floor and approximately 20 units will be located on the second and
third floors, respectively. The proposed development provides easy access off of
Rainbow Boulevard with an exit only sliding gate onto Lone Mountain Road. The
Applicant is proposing to reconfigure the west bound left turn lane in Lone Mountain
Road at Rainbow Boulevard to facilitate the proposed configuration. The multi-family
building will be three (3) stories and approximately 39' in height. The building will have
elevator access to the living units. The site design and architecture are consistent with
the existing multi-family units to the south. Additionally, the Site will provide amenities
such as a pool and spa, facilities for meetings and social gatherings, a game room, a
salon, exercise room and a library/computer room. There will also be a common area
kitchen available for residents' use during social events.

The Applicant is seeking exceptions for the following requirements:

Parking lot landscaping. In order to reduce parking deficiencies, the Applicant


cannot provide landscape diamonds within the parking lot.

The Applicant is seeking the following waivers:

Reduced landscape buffer. Due to the parking requirements and the odd shape
of the site, the six foot (6) landscape buffer cannot be maintained throughout the
site. It is reduced to three feet (3) where a proposed finger of parking is proposed
at the southwest corner. This comprises of approximately seventy linear feet (70
lf) where a reduced landscape buffer is requested resulting in a reduction of
approximately four hundred and twenty square feet (210 sf) of landscape area. In
the southeast corner and the northeast corner of the site, we have an opportunity
to provide extensive landscape areas with amenities. In addition, the required
trees that would have been planted in this location are provided throughout the
site.

Elimination of the required six foot (6) landscape strip along the east property line
of the Site and the west property line of the adjacent parcel (138-02-101-015).
Since SDR 41042 and this project will act as a single project with shared
amenities and access, the required landscape strip does not serve a purpose.

throughout the store. The total Iloor area dedicated Ior alcohol sales is approximately Iour
percent.

The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements Ior this use include:

2. ` Except as otherwise provided in Requirement 3 below, the distances referred to in

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

The applicant has requestea a aistance separation Waiver from a Church/House of
Worship unaer Provision (c) above. The si:e of the proposea retail establishment is 36,800
square feet.

The proposed Retail Establishment with Accessory Package Liquor use will be located within a
proposed grocery store. Per site plan date stamped 07/08/14, there is adequate parking Ior the
primary use oI a General Retail Store, Other Than Listed and no additional parking is required
Ior the proposed Retail Establishment with Accessory Package Liquor use. Additionally, per
Iloor plan date stamped 06/25/14, the Iloor area dedicated to the sale oI alcohol is approximate
1,471 square Ieet or Iour percent oI the total Iloor area.

StaII supports the requested separation Waiver, as the use will be located within an established
10.06-acre shopping center designed to accommodate a variety oI uses, including a grocery store
with an a Retail Establishment with Accessory Package Liquor use. Additionally, there is a six-
Ioot block wall between the proposed use and the protected use (a House oI Worship) that
prevents direct access to the protected use. The closest pedestrian or vehicle entrance is
approximately 800 Ieet west oI the proposed Retail Establishment with Accessory Package
Liquor use.

The subject site is located within 500 Ieet oI a city boundary; thereIore, the request is deemed a
Project oI Regional SigniIicance. The required documents have been completed and distributed
to the appropriate agency. The Las Vegas Valley Water District (LVVWD) submitted the
Iollowing comments:

The property is currently servea for both fire ana aomestic however neither have the requirea
backflow prevention per NAC 445A.67195. Civil plans incluaing the existing ana proposea
plumbing fixture scheaule ana proposea fire sprinkler aesign will neea to be submittea to
LJJWD.

The approval oI a Special Use Permit Ior a Retail Establishment with Accessory Package Liquor
use is appropriate in this C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district. The religious Iacility should
not be negatively impacted, as the closest entrance is approximately 800 Ieet away Irom the
proposed use. In summation, the proposed use can be conducted in a manner that is harmonious
and compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and land uses; thereIore, staII recommends
approval oI this use permit. II this application is denied then the proposed General Retail Store,
Other Than Listed may open Ior business; however, no alcohol can be sold at this location.

`` STAFF REPORT ``



PRO1ECT DESCRIPTION

The applicant is requesting a Special Use Permit Ior a proposed 1,573 square-Ioot Auto Title
Loan use within an existing shopping center at 4990 West Craig Road, Suite #1. This application
is accompanied with a Waiver request to allow a zero-Ioot distance separation Irom a residential
property where a 200-Ioot distance separation is required and to allow a 120-Ioot distance
separation Irom a Financial Institution, SpeciIied where a 1,000-Ioot minimum distance
separation is required. StaII recommends denial oI the requested Special Use Permit and
accompanying Waivers, as the proposed Auto Title Loan use cannot be conducted in a manner
that is harmonious and compatible with the surrounding land uses, as exempliIied by the
requested Waivers.


ISSUES

The Auto Title Loan use is permitted in the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district
with the approval oI a Special Use Permit.
A distance separation Waiver is required to allow the Auto Title Loan use zero Ieet Irom
a residentially protected property where 200 Ieet is the minimum required and to allow a
120-Ioot distance separation Irom a Financial Institution, SpeciIied where a 1,000-Ioot
minimum distance separation is required. StaII does not support the distance separation
as the required Waiver reinIorces the incompatibility oI the proposed Auto Title Loan
Use with the surrounding neighborhood.

ANALYSIS

lend money on security oI the title to a motor vehicle rather than on the security oI the vehicle
itselI.

purposes, or other similar devices are permitted, except that banners announcing a 'grand
opening or that a business is 'coming soon may be approved administratively Ior a period not to

temporary signs will require a permit.

4. Windows shall not:
a. Cover more than 20 percent oI the area oI all interior windows;
b. Include Ilashing lights or neon lighting; or
c. Include any text other than text that indicates the hours oI operation and whether the

The proposea use meets this requirement, as the proposea Auto Title Loan use operates with
1,573 square feet of floor area.

7. No auto title loan use may be located closer than 200 Ieet Irom any parcel used or zoned Ior
residential use. In addition, no auto title loan use may be located closer than 1,000 Irom any
other auto title loan use, auto pawn use or speciIied Iinancial institution use. For purposes oI this
Requirement 7, distances shall be measured in a straight line Irom property line, without regard
to intervening obstacles. The term 'property line reIers to property lines oI Iee interest parcels
and not leasehold parcels.

The proposea use aoes not meet this requirement, as the proposea site is locatea :ero feet away
from a resiaentially :onea parcel ana within 120 feet of a Financial Institution, Specifiea use.
The applicant has requestea a Waiver from these aistance requirements.

The applicant proposes to add an Auto Title Loan use to an existing Shopping Center use at 4990
West Craig Road, Suite #1. The applicant has indicated that the proposed Auto Title Loan use
will open Ior business at 8:00 a.m. and close at 11:00 p.m., which adheres to the operating hours
listed in Title 19.12 Ior the Auto Title Loan use. The proposed use is located zero Ieet Irom a
residentially-zoned property to the north and west where a 200-Ioot minimum distance
separation is required and is located 120 Ieet Irom a Financial Institution, SpeciIied use to the
south where a minimum 1,000-Ioot distance separation is required.

The proposed location oI this use Iails to comply with the minimum distance separation
requirements Ior a Special Use Permit. The requested Waivers to allow a zero-Ioot residential
distance separation and 120-Ioot Financial Institution, SpeciIied distance separation, represent a
100 and 12 reduction respectively Irom the required 200 and 1,000-Ioot separation mandated
by Title 19. As such, the required distance separation Waiver reinIorces the unsuitability oI this
site, Ior the Auto Title Loan use, with the surrounding neighborhood thereIore; staII recommends
denial oI the Special Use Permit.


FINDINGS (SUP-54783)

In order to approve a Special Use Permit application, per Title 19.16.110(L) the Planning
Commission and City Council must aIIirm the Iollowing:

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.

Staff Report Page Eight
August 12, 2014 - Planning Commission Meeting


The proposed Auto Title Loan use is compatible with the SC (Service Commercial)
General Plan land use designation and is located within an existing shopping center.
However, the proposed use requires Waivers oI the Residential and Financial
Institution, SpeciIied distance separation requirement, reinIorces the unsuitability oI this
site Ior the proposed Auto Title Loan use. The use cannot be conducted in a manner that
is harmonious or compatible with the surrounding uses.

2. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use proposed.

The proposed use will be located within an established shopping center. There is no
evidence oI a physical constraint to the proposed uses on the subject site.

3. Street or highway facilities providing access to the property are or will be adequate in
size to meet the requirements of the proposed use.

Primary site access is Irom North Decatur Boulevard, a 100-Ioot wide Primary Arterial
and West Craig Road, a 120-Ioot Parkway Arterial. The rights-oI-way provide adequate
capacity to serve the proposed use.

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 Auto Title Loan use will be subject to regular inspections by regulatory
agencies Ior business licensing and will thereIore not compromise the public`s health,
saIety or general welIare, or the overall objectives oI the General Plan.

5. The use meets all of the applicable conditions per Title 19.12.

The use does not comply with the minimum distance separation requirements required

Institution, SpeciIied distance separation. StaII does not support the applicant`s request
Ior a Waiver.

buildings, a 21,856 square-Ioot oIIice building and a 14,483 square-Ioot oIIice building. The
proposed school use would only replace the existing 14,483 square-Ioot oIIice use. The applicant
is not proposing any exterior alterations to the existing 14,483 square-Ioot building. However,
the proposal includes the elimination oI 11 parking spaces adjacent to the east side oI the

Primary use could not operate at the subject site.

The original Site Development Plan Review (Z-0008-89) approved two buildings totaling 37,400
square Ieet oI oIIice space. At that time, the two oIIice buildings required 94 parking spaces.
Currently, the subject site provides 132 parking spaces. The applicant is proposing to eliminate
11 parking spaces adjacent to the east side oI the building to provide the saIe pick-up and drop-
oII area Ior the children, as required by Title 19.12. The proposed Public School, Primary use has
a less intense parking requirement then that oI the existing oIIice use. As such, the removal oI
the 11 parking spaces does not hinder the sites ability to meet minimum parking standards.

As the Special Use Permit request is located within 500 Ieet oI the City`s boundary with
unincorporated Clark County, the proposal is considered a Project oI Regional SigniIicance
pursuant to Title 19.16.010. An impact assessment was completed by the applicant and
distributed to local and regional agencies Ior comment. No comments were received Irom the
aIIected agencies.

As the proposal meets Title 19.12 use requirements and Title 19.06 zoning standards and can be
operated in a manner that is compatible with surrounding uses, the proposed Public School,
Primary will be appropriate Ior the subject property. StaII thereIore recommends approval, with
conditions.


FINDINGS (SUP-54825)

In order to approve a Special Use Permit application, per Title 19.16.110(L) the Planning
Commission and City Council must aIIirm the Iollowing:

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 Public School, Primary will be a small, Iour-classroom Iacility that will have
little impact on the adjacent commercial and residential properties.

2. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use proposed.

The subject site contains two existing oIIice buildings totaling 37,400 square Ieet. The
proposed Public School, Primary use would locate within one oI the oIIice buildings and
replace 18,483 square Ieet oI oIIice space. The applicant proposes to eliminate 11 parking
spaces to provide the saIe pick-up and drop-oII area Ior the children, as required by Title
19.12. The proposed Public School, Primary use has a less intense parking requirement
then that oI the existing oIIice use. As such, the removal oI the 11 parking spaces does not
hinder the sites ability to meet minimum parking standards.

as classiIied by the Master Plan oI Streets and Highways. The existing street is adequate to
meet the intensity oI the proposed Public School, Primary use.

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
