** STAFF REPORT **

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for an Extension of Time for approved Special Use Permit (SUP-53471) for a
proposed 17,321 square-foot Urban Lounge use with 970 square feet of outside seating area at
1310 South 3rd Street.

ISSUES

This is the first request for an Extension of Time for Special Use Permit (SUP-53471).
The Urban Lounge use is permitted in the C-2 (General Commercial) zoning district with the
approval of a Special Use Permit).

ANALYSIS
On May 13, 2014 the Planning Commission approved a Special Use Permit (SUP-53471) for a
proposed Urban Lounge use at 1310 South 3rd Street. Per Condition #3 of the approved Special
Use Permit (SUP-53471) the entitlement was set to expire on May 13, 2016.
Title 19.16.110 of the Unified Development Code deems a Special Use Permit exercised upon
the issuance of a business license; as none have been issued the Special Use Permit is set to
expire. The applicant is requesting an Extension of Time to ensure the Special Use Permit does
not expire and has cited in the submitted justification letter that the project was delayed because
the originally planned tenant decided not to occupy the tenant space. The applicant has indicated
that additional time is needed to find a new tenant for the proposed Urban Lounge. Staff supports
this request, as the Urban Lounge use can still actively contribute to the pedestrian interest
sought after in the Downtown Centennial Plan.

FINDINGS (EOT-64112)
The Special Use Permit (SUP-53471) has not been exercised in accordance with the
requirements of Title 19.16, as a business license has not been issued for the Urban Lounge use.
Staff is recommending approval of this Extension of Time request with a two-year time limit, as
the Urban Lounge use and proposed commercial development can still actively contribute to the
pedestrian interest sought after in the Downtown Centennial Plan.

** STAFF REPORT **

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
A 148-lot single family residential subdivision is proposed over four portions of the previously
approved Tentative Map for Phase 1 of Reverence (TMP-60968) totaling 46.09 acres. The
existing Phase 1 residential lots would remain and not be remapped through this request.

ISSUES

Prior to acceptance of a final map over this site, a final map that includes the matching
portions of Reverence Phase 1 must record.
The applicants have proposed to map the Village in phases. The first tentative map covered
the entire master planned community. Subsequent maps will further subdivide the remaining
large lot portions.
The Summerlin Design Review Committee has reviewed and approved the proposed
tentative map.

ANALYSIS
Development within this site is subject to the Summerlin Village 26 (Reverence) Development
Plan as amended, the Development Agreement for Villages 10, 11, 12 and 26 and the Summerlin
Development Standards as amended. No waivers of Summerlin Development Standards are
needed in conjunction with this map. Each proposed lot has been designated SF3 (Single Family
Detached) by the Village 26 Development Plan, which allows up to 10 dwelling units per gross
acre.
Staff notes that a Variance (VAR-64311) has been submitted to allow the street name
Reverence to be used, even though it sounds similar to the existing street name Reference,
which is located elsewhere in Clark County. If this variance is denied, Reverence cannot be
used as a street name on any final map associated with this site.
Street connectivity pursuant to LVMC Title 19.04 is not required for this development; however,
an analysis of the overall proposed subdivision, including all phases thus far, indicates a
connectivity score of 1.19, which is below the minimum score for qualifying subdivisions (1.3).

June 14, 2016 - Planning Commission Meeting

This is the second phase of the Reverence (Summerlin Village 26) development. The Phase 1
tentative map included the entire site, but only depicted single-family lots on parcels already
owned by the applicant, leaving the remaining parcels to include common area or large pod lots
for future development. The applicant has now acquired the entire area. Lots on this proposed
Phase 2 map are not contiguous; they would remap portions of Phase 1. Before a final map can
be accepted for Phase 2, the matching portions of Phase 1 must record. At this time, a final map
covering all or part of Phase 1 has not been submitted. A condition of approval addresses this
issue.
Access to this phase would be from Lake Mead Boulevard and from portions of Phase 1, namely
the proposed Desert Hope Drive, Reverence Parkway (both public streets) and Oceanic Bliss
Drive (private). Residential streets are primarily 41-foot private streets, with gated entries up to
60 feet to accommodate turnaround traffic. Reverence Parkway, the major collector road for the
community, reaches 81 feet in width. Lot sizes range from 4,275 square feet to 18,641 square
feet.
There are two north-south cross sections submitted and both depict a maximum natural grade
greater than 2% across this site. Per the Summerlin Development Standards, all development is
allowed a maximum exposure of 10 feet. No retaining walls are shown.
The submitted east-west cross sections depict a maximum natural grade less than 2% across this
site. Per the Summerlin Development Standards, all development is allowed a maximum
exposure of 10 feet. There are no retaining walls shown.
The Clark County School District projects that approximately 64 additional primary and
secondary school students will be generated by the proposed development on this site. All three
levels of schools serving the area (Lummis Elementary School, Becker Middle School and Palo
Verde High School) are near or over capacity for the 2015-2016 school year. In particular, Palo
Verde High School is at 101 percent of program capacity.

FINDINGS (TMP-64418)
The map as proposed is in conformance with Title 19 and NRS requirements for tentative maps.
Staff recommends approval with the understanding that Phase 2 will tie together streets that
dead-end at the phase lines. The development is in conformance with requirements of the
Village 10, 11, 12 and 26 Development Agreement, Summerlin Development Standards and any
private requirements from the Master Developer. Before acceptance of a final map for Phase 2, a
Final Map for the areas of Phase 1 that correspond to the subdivision boundaries in Phase 2 must
be recorded.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant requests approval of a Tentative Map for a one-lot commercial subdivision on 1.93
acres at the southwest corner of Ackerman Avenue and Durango Drive.

ISSUES

The subject site is developed; there are no proposed changes or additions to the site.
The applicant has stated within the submitted justification letter that it intends to create a
one-lot commercial subdivision so that a record of survey can be done at a later date to create
a separate ownership parcel for the building pad on the southern perimeter of the site.

ANALYSIS
There is an existing 13,722 square-foot commercial development constructed in 2008 on the
subject site. All existing structures on the site meet the Title 19 requirements for the C-1
(Limited Commercial) zoning district.
Access to the site is provided from one driveway off of Durango Drive. As the site is developed,
all grading and drainage has already taken place and will not be an issue. Site circulation is
logical throughout the site and will be unaffected by mapping. Parking and access is intended to
be allowed across the site. A condition of approval will require that common perpetual access
and parking will be granted across the entire proposed commercial subdivision.
Staff notes that north/south and east/west cross sections are not shown with this Tentative Map
submittal. However, since this property and all surrounding property is developed or graded, no
retaining walls are shown or anticipated as no changes are proposed.
The map meets and complies with the Title 19 and NRS 278 requirements for a Tentative Map;
therefore, staff recommends approval with conditions. If denied, the existing parcel would
remain.

FINDINGS (TMP-64433)
All Title 19 zoning and NRS 278 and technical requirements regarding tentative maps are
satisfied. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the subject tentative map with conditions.

** STAFF REPORT **

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing a 202-lot single-family attached townhome subdivision on a 18.56acre undeveloped site on the southeast corner of Fox Hill Avenue and Far Hills Avenue, located
within Village 23B of Summerlin West. The map has been reviewed and approved by the
Summerlin Design Review Committee and conforms to the Summerlin Development Standards,
applicable NRS statutes and Title 19 requirements; therefore, staff recommends approval with
conditions. If denied, a final map subdividing the subject property cannot be accepted or
approved.

ISSUES

Access to the subdivision will be from Antelope Ridge Drive.

ANALYSIS
The subject property is part of Summerlin West, which is governed by a Development
Agreement between the Master Developer and the City of Las Vegas, as well as the Summerlin
Development Standards. The proposed tentative map was reviewed and conditionally approved
by the Summerlin Design Review Committee on 04/27/16, prior to submittal to the City for
review.
The Summerlin Development Land Use Plan designates the subject property as MF2 (Medium
Density Multi-Family), which allows up to 21 residential units per gross acre. The proposed
density of 10.88 dwelling units per net acre falls well within the maximum allowed. As this site
is part of 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 Title 19 connectivity requirements, the design
of the subdivision has a Connectivity Score of 0.76, which is below the preferred ratio of 1.30.
The proposed homes range in size from 1,400 square feet to 2,200 square feet. Site access is
proposed from Antelope Ridge Drive by way of a 44-foot public street that will serve this site.
Interior circulation is provided by 39-foot, 35-foot and 25-foot wide private streets with L-curbs
and roll-curbs on-site. No required trails are adjacent to the site. No neighborhood parks are
proposed.

June 14, 2016 - Planning Commission Meeting

The submitted east/west cross section depicts maximum natural grade greater than 2% across this
site. Per the Summerlin Development Standards, all development is allowed a maximum
exposure of 10 feet. Although not labeled, there appears to be one retaining wall along the
northern boundary approximately three feet in height.
The submitted north/south cross sections depict maximum natural grade less than 2% across this
site. Per the Summerlin Development Standards, all development is allowed a maximum
exposure of 10 feet. There are two retaining walls shown at the western boundary, one is 2.5 feet
in height and the other one is four feet in height. There is a four-foot retaining wall along the
eastern boundary and an internal retaining wall 6.7 feet in height. The walls are designed in
accordance with Summerlin Village 23B requirements (enforced by Summerlin), with mortar
washed slump stone fascia and decorative capped stucco exterior pilasters.
The Clark County School District projects that approximately 87 primary and secondary school
students would be generated by the proposed development on this site. Of the three schools
serving the area (Givens Elementary School, Sig Rogich Middle School and Palo Verde High
School), the District notes that all three schools are over capacity for the 2015-16 school year,
and no new schools are planned in this area at this time.

FINDINGS (TMP-64465)
The proposed Tentative Map conforms to Nevada Revised Statutes, Title 19 and the Summerlin
Development Standards, and has been approved by the Summerlin Design Review Committee.
Therefore, staff recommends approval with conditions.

Staff Report Page One
June 14, 2016 - Planning Commission Meeting

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting a Major Deviation from the Summerlin Development Design
Standards to allow a 17 percent reduction of the required parking. The request would allow 218
parking spaces where 261 are required for a proposed two-building, 214,722 square-foot Special
Care Facility and Assisted Living Apartments at the north end of Desert Crossing Court and
Center Crossing Road.

ISSUES

A Major Deviation from the Summerlin Design Standards for parking is similar to a
Variance when related to parking requirements not being met. Staff supports the request.

ANALYSIS
The applicant hired a local Engineering firm to conduct a parking study to determine the parking
that could be expected from the development. This study was dated April 4, 2016 and consisted
of observing four similar facilities in the area of the proposed Summerlin development. This
study determined that the suggested number of parking spaces required would be 218 spaces and
the applicant is providing 218 spaces. The study was reviewed by staff who concurred with the
findings. An approval letter from the Master Developer of the Summerlin Community, Howard
Hughes, via the Summerlin Non-Residential Design Review Committee also supports the
findings. As a result, staff recommends approval of the request.
A Major Deviation within the Summerlin Master Planned Community requires the application be
referred to the Planning Commission for review and decision. If approved, a Certificate of
Deviation shall be issued to the requesting party. Said certificate shall state the name and
address of the owner, legal description of the property, and a reasonably detailed description of
the deviation granted. All deviations must be exercised within one year from the date of
approval, or the deviation shall be null and void.

FINDINGS (SCD-64471)
The proposed project must still be reviewed and approved through the City Referral Group
process, which will be conducted if the requested deviation is approved. A condition of approval

June 14, 2016 - Planning Commission Meeting

Evidence of a unique or extraordinary circumstance has been presented, in that the applicant has
presented a parking analysis that supports the applicants proposed number of parking spaces. In
view of this report, it is concluded that the applicants hardship is not preferential in nature and
will not negatively impact the surrounding adjacent uses. Staff recommends approval.

The applicant is in escrow to purchase a small section of APN #138-30-113-011 and has
an approved application signed by the owner for this project.
Related Building Permits/Business Licenses
No related permits are on file for this project.
Pre-Application Meeting
Staff met with the applicant and reviewed a proposed two-building Special
Care Facility and Assisted Living Apartment project located in the Summerlin
Overlay area of the city. Staff determined that the project does not meet the
parking requirements for the proposed uses and is deficient 43 spaces.
Although Summerlin has approved the deficiency, it still requires a public
hearing before the City Council for a Major Deviation from the Summerlin

Design Standards as a SCD application. This is similar to a Variance
application.
It was also determined that the project would require a City Referral Group
application. The applicant chose to not submit this application until after the
SCD application is heard and approved.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a Special Use Permit for a proposed 9,450 square-foot Motor Scooter Sales
use within an existing Swap Meet use. This is a C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoned property
located at 1717 South Decatur Boulevard.

ISSUES

A Motor Scooter Sales use is permitted in the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district with
the approval of a Special Use Permit. Staff supports the request.

ANALYSIS
The existing Swap Meet use has been licensed since 11/21/1991 at 1717 South Decatur
Boulevard and is a legal non-conforming use per Title 19.16, as this use began operating prior to
the requirement for a Special Use Permit. The proposed 9,450 square-foot Motorcycle/Motor
Scooter Sales use is permitted in the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district with an approval
of a Special Use Permit. The proposed use consists of a showroom and an inventory
storage/service area located within the Swap Meet and no Waivers of the minimum Special Use
Permit requirements are part of this application; therefore, the proposed use meets the minimum
Special Use Permit requirements of Title 19.12.
The Motorcycle/Motor Scooter Sales use is defined as A facility or area for the display and sale
of motorcycles and motor scooters, whether new or used, but excluding mopeds. This use
includes service bays which are incidental and accessory to the sales use. The term
motorcycle/motor scooter sales is used for the sole purpose of allowing the use by means of
Special Use Permit in the C-1 District. For all other purposes, the use described here shall be
treated under the appropriate category of motor vehicle sales. The proposed use meets the
definition as the applicants justification letter date stamped 05/02/16, states the applicant intends
to sell electric and gas powered scooters. The subject property is in the C-1 District and the
Motorcycle/Motor Scooter Sales use is allowed with an approved Special Use Permit.
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include:
1. All display and sales shall take place in an enclosed building.
The proposed use meets this requirement as the showroom and inventory storage will be
inside the Swap Meet.

SUP-64491 [PRJ-64362]
Staff Report Page Two
June 14, 2016 - Planning Commission Meeting

2. The minimum gross floor area of the building (or tenant space) that is dedicated to this
use shall be 7000 square feet.
The proposed use meets this requirement as the submitted floor plan, date stamped on
05/02/16 contains 3,000 square-foot of showroom space and the submitted floor plan,
date stamped 05/12/16 contains 6,450 square feet of inventory/service area.
The property is surrounded by commercial uses and the proposed use can be conducted in a
manner that is harmonious and compatible with existing surrounding land uses; therefore, staff
recommends approval of this request. If this request is denied, the proposed use will not be
permitted.

FINDINGS (SUP-64491)
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 9,450 square-foot Motorcycle/Motor Scooter Sales use will be located

SDR-64218 [PRJ-63847]
Staff Report Page One
June 14, 2016 - Planning Commission Meeting

** STAFF REPORT **

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting relief from the Downtown Centennial Plan Streetscape Requirements
to not plant four (4) 25-foot tall date palms along the Las Vegas Boulevard frontage and one (1)
25-foot tall palm tree along the Clark Avenue frontage as required by the approved landscape
plan associated with the federal building currently under construction at the southeast corner of
Clark Avenue and Las Vegas Boulevard.

ISSUES

A Waiver of the Downtown Centennial Plan Streetscape Standards is required to allow no


palm trees in the Las Vegas Boulevard amenity zone where major north-south streets require
25-foot tall Deglet-Noor date palms or similar in 30-foot intervals. A major Site
Development Plan Review by City Council is required.
The applicant is also requesting to replace the approved palm tree along Clark Avenue with a
shoestring acacia tree to match the existing plantings.

ANALYSIS
The overall project is not yet complete. It was discovered that the approved palm trees were
proposed to be placed directly above existing transcontinental communications infrastructure
installed at least 50 years ago and buried about 2.5-3.0 feet under the surface, according to the
applicant. Similarly situated sites, such as The Ogden (aka Streamline Towers) have provided
trees within decorative planter boxes. The landscape architect has determined that the trees
should not be installed rather than relocating the communication lines or attempting to trap the
roots above the conduit, which creates a separate list of future issues. If the trees were to be
planted in a raised planter shielded from the utility line, their growth would likely be stunted as
they mature and lack the necessary stability to stay rooted.
Staff agrees that a hardship is
created by the current placement of the utilities, and that it is neither practical nor beneficial to
plant the required trees in this location. The trees are proposed to be replaced by five-gallon
grasses and/or other non-woody plants that would not damage the conduit or its terra cotta
sheath. Staff does not object to removal of the one palm tree designated on Clark Avenue, as it
is not a required tree in the streetscape and would be replaced with an acacia tree to match the
existing plantings. The project as a whole will remain compatible with the adjacent commercial
uses. If this request is denied, the trees would be required as approved on the landscape plan for
the federal building.

June 14, 2016 - Planning Commission Meeting

FINDINGS (SDR-64218)
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;
Without planting of the required palm trees, the development will remain compatible with
the adjacent commercial uses in the Office Core District.

2.

The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan, this Title, the Design
Standards Manual, the Landscape, Wall and Buffer Standards, and other dulyadopted city plans, policies and standards;
The removal of required streetscape along Las Vegas Boulevard and a portion of Clark
Avenue is not in conformance with the Downtown Centennial Plan. However, requiring
the planting of palm trees would constitute a hardship to the property owner. Staff
supports the required waiver of streetscape standards.

3.

Site access and circulation do not negatively impact adjacent roadways or


neighborhood traffic;
The project is located Downtown, where a fully developed grid traffic pattern has been
established. The adjacent streets of Las Vegas Boulevard, Clark Avenue and 6th Street are
capable of handling the traffic generated by this project.

4.

Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the City;
The revised landscape materials are appropriate for the Downtown area.

5.

Building elevations, design characteristics and other architectural and aesthetic


features are not unsightly, undesirable, or obnoxious in appearance; create an
orderly and aesthetically pleasing environment; and are harmonious and compatible
with development in the area;
This project is aesthetically harmonious and compatible with adjacent developments.

6.

Appropriate measures are taken to secure and protect the public health, safety and
general welfare.
The development will be subject to permitting and routine inspection in order to protect the
public health, safety and welfare or the overall objectives of the General Plan.

VAC-64120 [PRJ-64109]
Staff Report Page One
June 14, 2016 - Planning Commission Meeting

** STAFF REPORT **

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The City is petitioning to vacate an eight-foot wide portion of Moonlight Drive north of
Charleston Boulevard on behalf of the adjacent property owner, who would lose a portion of
frontage as a result of the citys plans to widen Charleston Boulevard. If approved, the
additional eight feet that would accrue to the adjacent owner would offset the loss of property
along Charleston Boulevard.

ISSUES

The City must acquire portions of private property for intersection widening at Charleston
Boulevard and Lamb Boulevard. The widening will affect the subject property.
If approved, the east side of the Moonlight Drive right-of-way would be reduced to 17.5 feet;
however, it would allow the adjacent property owner to gain property to compensate for the
loss of frontage along Charleston Boulevard.

ANALYSIS
As a result of the requested vacation, the east half of Moonlight Drive would be reduced from
25.5 feet to 17.5 feet adjacent to APN 140-31-803-001. The area to be vacated includes a fivefoot sidewalk, a streetlight and three feet of curbing and pavement. Moonlight Drive is a minor
residential street that would not be affected by the loss of width. There would be no loss of
access to any parcel along Moonlight Drive. By vacating this portion of the street, both the City
and the adjacent property owner would benefit, since the owner will have the opportunity to
create additional parking spaces near the street frontage while the City will be able to improve
Charleston Boulevard without causing significant loss of value to the adjacent property.
Currently, the existing uses on the adjacent site require 18 parking spaces; 19 spaces are being
provided. The additional property that would accrue to the owner as a result of the vacation
could possibly provide enough spaces for a drive aisle and an additional row of angled parking.

FINDINGS
We present the following information concerning this request to vacate certain public street ROW:

SS

VAC-64120 [PRJ-64109]
Staff Report Page Two
June 14, 2016 - Planning Commission Meeting

A. Does this vacation request result in uniform or non-uniform right-of-way widths? It


will result in a non-uniform right-of-way width, as the width of Moonlight Drive will be
reduced to 41 feet adjacent to APN 140-31-803-001.
B. From a traffic handling viewpoint will this vacation request result in a reduced
traffic handling capability? No, since it is a residential street and the area of right-ofway that will be affected will only be approximately 108.25 feet.
C. Does it appear that the vacation request involves only excess right-of-way? No it is
to reimburse the adjacent land owner for the loss of land that will be bought for a
City of Las Vegas capital improvement project.
D. Does this vacation request coincide with development plans of the adjacent parcels?
Yes, the Charleston Boulevard/Lamb Boulevard project.
E. Does this vacation request eliminate public street access to any abutting parcel? No.
F. Does this vacation request result in a conflict with any existing City requirements?
No.
G. Does the Department of Public Works have an objection to this vacation request?
No.

** STAFF REPORT **

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is petitioning to vacate a three-foot wide fire hydrant, sewer line, street lighting
and appurtenances easement on the south side of Donald Road, west of Decatur Boulevard.

ANALYSIS
The parcels on which the easement is located are undeveloped; a tentative map has been
approved for a 31-lot single-family residential development in this area, but no lots have been
recorded. A new single-family residential development with 57 lots has been proposed, but has
not yet been approved. Once developed, the easement would no longer be needed in this
location. 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.

FINDINGS
The Department of Public Works has no objection to the vacation application request to vacate a
fire hydrant, sewer line, street lighting and appurtenances easement generally located on the
south side of Donald Road, west of Decatur Boulevard.

VAC-64394 CONDITIONS
1.

The limits of this Petition of Vacation shall be the Public Drainage Easement granted by
Document #900423:0504.

2.

All public improvements, if any, adjacent to and in conflict with this vacation application
are to be modified, as necessary, at the applicant's expense prior to the recordation of an
Order of Vacation.

3.

All development shall be in conformance with code requirements and design standards of
all City Departments.

4.

If the Order of Vacation is not recorded within one (1) year after approval by the City of
Las Vegas or an Extension of Time is not granted by the Planning Director, then approval
will terminate and a new petition must be submitted.

5.

The Order of Vacation shall not be recorded until all of the conditions of approval have
been met provided, however, the conditions requiring modification of public improvements
may be fulfilled for purposes of recordation by providing sufficient security for the
performance thereof in accordance with the Subdivision Ordinance of the City of Las
Vegas. City Staff is empowered to modify this application if necessary because of
technical concerns or because of other related review actions as long as current City rightof-way requirements are still complied with and the intent of the vacation application is not
changed. If applicable, a five foot wide easement for public streetlight and fire hydrant
purposes shall be retained on all vacation actions abutting public street corridors that will

VAC-64394 [PRJ-64393]
Staff Report Page One
June 14, 2016 - Planning Commission Meeting

** STAFF REPORT **

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is petitioning to vacate a 60-foot wide public drainage easement on parcels located
west of Coke Street and south of Alder Glen Avenue.

ISSUES

The existing easement was granted to Clark County prior to annexation of the underlying
property. The rights to this easement have been transferred to the City of Las Vegas.
Two building permits have been issued for single-family dwellings over a portion of the area
to be vacated.

ANALYSIS
Following annexation, a single-family residential development and subdivision were approved
over the subject parcels. Construction of homes has begun, and the easement cannot remain
underneath private development. Lots 8, 9, 11, 12, 21, 22 and 36 of the existing subdivision are
affected. New easements were granted with recordation of the Horse and Coke Final Map on
06/19/15. The existing public drainage easement is therefore no longer needed in this location.
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.

FINDINGS
The Department of Public Works has no objection to the vacation application request to vacate a
public drainage easement generally located north of Racel Street, west of Coke Street.

** STAFF REPORT **

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting to convert an existing R-E (Residence Estates) zoned property within
the R-PO (Rural Preservation Overlay) into a General Commercial property to allow a Delivery
and Service Vehicle Storage Use located at 5455 North Rainbow Boulevard. The property to the
north was recently rezoned to a C-1 (Limited Commercial) zone and is located on the southeast
corner of Rainbow Boulevard and Ann Road. This is also a less intense commercial use than
what is being proposed. The property to the south of the request is zoned R-E (Residence
Estates) and is also located within the R-PO (Rural Preservation Overlay). The properties to the
east and west of the subject site are single-family detached zoned properties. This is an
inappropriate request that if approved, would change the development pattern along Rainbow
Boulevard from a residential pattern to a commercial pattern. Staff does not support these
applications and recommends denial. If denied, the property would remain as a single-family,
detached property.
At the direction of the Planning Commission at the June 14, 2016 meeting, the Department
accepted an alternate Special Use Permit (SUP-64653) for consideration requesting a Building
Maintenance Service and Sales use. The applicant suggests that it is a more appropriate
description of the proposed use and that the sweeper vehicles to be stored at the site should be
considered to be outside storage. As such, the General Plan Amendment and Rezoning needed
would be less intense than what is needed for the Delivery and Service Vehicle Storage use, with
the requests being changed to SC (Service Commercial) and C-1 (Limited Commercial),
respectively. The requested Variances and Waiver would remain unchanged. Although the
changed General Plan Amendment and Rezoning requests are more appropriate for the area, staff
determined that the Delivery and Service Vehicle Storage use was the most appropriate use
description and does not support the new application for Special Use Permit (SUP-64653).

ISSUES

A Variance is required to allow a 13-foot rear yard setback where 20 feet is required for
an existing building and to allow a five-foot side yard setback where 10 feet is required
for a proposed carport. Staff does not support this request.
A Variance is required to allow a 17-foot Residential Adjacency setback for an existing
building where 65 feet is required. Staff does not support this request.
A Special Use Permit is required to allow a Delivery and Service Vehicle Storage Use.
Staff does not support this request. Alternatively, a Special Use Permit is required to
allow a Building Maintenance Service and Sales Use. Staff does not support this request.

A Waiver is required for a five-foot wide perimeter landscape buffer along the north and
a portion of south perimeters. Staff does not support this request.
An Exception is required to provide zero parking lot landscape trees, where eight trees
are required. Staff does not support this request.

ANALYSIS
This project consists of six application requests: General Plan Amendment, Rezoning, two
Variances, Special Use Permit and a Site Development Plan Review with Waivers and
Exceptions. This property is currently a single-family residence in an R-E (Residence Estates)
zone parcel within the R-PO (Rural Preservation Overlay). This request would remove this
parcel from the overlay and allow the parcel to be utilized as an intense commercial property
under the C-2 (General Commercial) zoning district. As a result of the increased intensity of the
use proposed and the need for the Variances, Waivers and Exceptions required, staff does not
support this project.
The applicant is requesting to change the General Plan from DR (Desert Rural Density
Residential) to: GC (General Commercial). This is not an appropriate land use for this location.
The property to the north, located at the southeast corner of Rainbow Boulevard and Ann Road,
was recently changed from DR (Desert Rural Density Residential) to SC (Service Commercial).
This is a less intense commercial land use than what is being proposed with this project. There
are residential zoned properties on the east, south and west of the site, making the requested
intensity of the proposed commercial land use less desirable. This section of Rainbow
Boulevard has an overall development pattern of residential uses and to change one parcel in the
middle of the block to GC (General Commercial) would allow for the creation of spot zoning
that goes against basic planning principles for community development. Staff does not support
this land use reclassification request.
The Zoning request from R-E (Residence Estates) to C-2 (General Commercial) would create a
spot zoning situation. In addition, it would allow the most intense commercial development
permitted by the City of Las Vegas in the middle of a primarily residential block. This is not
appropriate and would change the future development pattern of this section of Rainbow
Boulevard into a commercial corridor, which was not planned. In addition, there are currently
undeveloped commercially zoned properties located in the northwest portion of the City that
would meet the needs of this applicant. Staff does not support this rezoning request.
The proposal is to convert an existing single family, detached residence into a commercial
property for a Delivery and Service Vehicle Storage Use for a street/parking lot sweeper
business. The applicant has provided photographs of the size and type of commercial vehicles
proposed to be stored on the site that can be found in the supporting back-up information. The
Delivery and Service Vehicle Storage Use is defined as; The use of an area or facility for the
parking and storage of commercial fleet vehicles that are used primarily in connection with the

delivery of goods and services to the surrounding community. The proposed use meets the
definition as reflected in the justification letter provided.
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include:
1. All areas used for the parking and storage of vehicles shall be paved, and shall be
effectively screened so as not to be visible from adjoining properties or public rights-ofway.
The proposed use meets this requirement as the vehicles will be parked in the covered
parking areas provide in the rear of the property and screened by a six-foot high solid
wall.
2. Lighting shall be shielded from adjacent properties.
The proposed use meets this requirement as no new lighting is being proposed.
3. The use shall not occupy or interfere with any parking spaces that are required for any
other existing or proposed areas for which required parking is or will be provided on the
site.
The proposed use meets this requirement as no other use is proposed on the site
4. No repair or servicing of vehicles or storage or warehousing of goods or merchandise is
allowed.
The applicant indicates that no repair or servicing of vehicles will take place and no
storage or warehousing of goods or merchandise is being proposed. The applicant has
also indicated that they contract the servicing of the vehicles to an outside company
located off-site.
A Special Use Permit is required to allow the Delivery and Service Vehicle Storage Use on the
property and is not supported by staff. This use would be more appropriate located away from
single family zoned property and certainly not directly adjacent to an R-E (Residence Estates)
zoned property within the R-PO (Rural Preservation Overlay) area.
At the direction of the Planning Commission at the June 14, 2016 meeting, the Department
accepted an alternate Special Use Permit (SUP-64653) for consideration requesting a Building
Maintenance Service and Sales use. The applicant suggests that it is a more appropriate
description of the proposed use and that the sweeper vehicles to be stored at the site should be
considered to be equipment, and therefore outside storage, which could be approved in the C-1

zoning district via the Special Use Permit. As such, the General Plan Amendment and Rezoning
needed would be less intense than what is needed for the Delivery and Service Vehicle Storage
use, with the requests being changed to SC (Service Commercial) and C-1 (Limited
Commercial), respectively. The requested Variances and Waiver would remain unchanged.
Although the changed General Plan Amendment and Rezoning requests are more appropriate for
the area, staff determined that the Delivery and Service Vehicle Storage use was the most
appropriate use description for the on-site retention of the street sweeper vehicles, as it is defined
as the use of an area or facility for the parking and storage of commercial fleet vehicles that are
used primarily in connection with the delivery of goods and services to the surrounding
community. The street sweepers are commercial fleet vehicles that are dispatched to provide
the service of sweeping and cleaning parking lots, meeting the definition. Staff does not support
the new application for Special Use Permit (SUP-64653). If approved, the use would be subject
to the restrictions of the use as denoted in Title 19.12, including the requirements for outdoor
storage and the limitation of no more than 10% of total lot area used for storage. In addition, a
condition has been added to prohibit the on-site service, maintenance or clean-out of the street
sweepers.
A Variance is required to allow an existing building to not meet the rear yard setback
requirements and a proposed carport to not meet the side yard setback requirements of the
proposed C-2 (General Commercial) zoning district. Although an argument could be made that
the first part of this request is an existing condition and therefore not a self-created hardship, this
argument cannot be made for the proposed carport. The proposed carport is clearly a self-created
hardship and therefore does not meet the standard for allowing the Variance. Staff does not
support this request.
A second Variance is required to allow an existing building to not meet the Residential
Adjacency Standards for a proposed commercial property that is located next to an R-E
(Residence Estates) zoned property. The purpose of this requirement is to protect adjacent single
family zoned properties from commercial development. The conversion of this single family
dwelling into a commercial property requires the building to meet the Residential Adjacency
Standards of a three to one setback; which in this case requires a 65-foot setback where only 17
feet is being provided. Staff does not support this request.
The applicant is planning on maintaining the propertys residential appearance as much as
possible. The exterior of the house will remain unchanged, as well as the storage building on the
northeast section of the parcel. It is worth highlighting the fact that these buildings are not
aesthetically compatible. While the house has a wood and stucco appearance, the rear building
has a metal appearance. The color pallet does not match either, with the primary structure being
painted a light tan with a blue-grey roof and the storage building being painted green with white
trim. Nor would it prevent the owner from tearing down these structures in the future and
building a modern commercial building.

Landscape along the perimeters will be enhanced to screen the proposed commercial property
from the adjacent residential properties. The northern most driveway of the three existing
driveways, off Rainbow Boulevard, will be removed. The two remaining driveways will be
brought up to current code required widths and be paved. The paving will continue throughout
the new parking lot along the north and rear of the property. Two new carport structures will be
added, one along the north perimeter and the other just east of the existing house, in the rear yard
area of the property. Two accessible parking spaces will be located in front of the house. The
existing pool will be removed in order to enlarge the parking area.
The applicant is requesting a Waiver for this project. It would allow a five-foot wide landscape
buffer along the north perimeter and portions of the south perimeter. The south perimeter is
adjacent to an existing R-E (Residence Estates) property. Tthese requests are self-created by the
applicant, as there is ample room on the site for these requirements to be met. Staff does not
support the requests.
The applicant has also requested an Exception for parking lot landscape requirements. A tree
and five shrubs are required at the end of each row of uncovered parking spaces. The applicant
is not providing any new landscaping in the parking lot where eight trees are required. Staff does
not support this request.
Although the Las Vegas Valley Water District (LVVWD) does not govern properties with wells
permitted by the state, they have offered the following: it is important to point out that this
property's well is for domestic use only and the property owner must obtain approval from the
State Engineer's Office before using the well for commercial purposes.
Commercial property is required to use the City of Las Vegas sewer system. A condition has
been added by Public Works Department staff to abandon the existing septic system on the
property and connect to the sewer system as a condition if the request is approved. The applicant
has been informed of this requirement.

FINDINGS (GPA-63571)
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 planned GC (General Commercial) land use designation will not be compatible with
the single-family residential uses located adjacent to and near the subject site.

2.

The zoning designations allowed by the proposed amendment will be compatible with
the existing adjacent land uses or zoning districts,
A C-2 (General Commercial) zoning designation would not be an appropriate land use for
the subject site. The surrounding area is predominantly single-family residences.
According to Title 19.08.080, the C-2 (General Commercial) zoning district should be
located away from low and medium density residential development or along commercial
corridors. The subject site is in the middle of a residential neighborhood street block.

3.

There are adequate transportation, recreation, utility, and other facilities to


accommodate the uses and densities permitted by the proposed General Plan
Amendment; and
Rainbow Boulevard is designed as a Primary Arterial Street and may be adequate to
handle the proposed commercial development permitted by this General Plan Amendment.

4.

The proposed amendment conforms to other applicable adopted plans and policies
that include approved neighborhood plans.
Other than the R-PO (Rural Preservation Overlay), no other plans cover this location.

FINDINGS (ZON-63573)
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 accompanying General Plan Amendment (GPA-63571) is proposing to designate the
site to the GC (General Commercial) land use category, which allows for development of
more intense retail and personal service uses. The requested zoning change to the C-2
(General Commercial) zoning district conforms to the proposed GC (General Commercial)
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 permitted commercial uses in a C-2 (General Commercial) zoning district would
allow the most intense commercial uses and would be incompatible with the surrounding
residential neighborhood.

3.

Growth and development factors in the community indicate the need for or
appropriateness of the rezoning.
No evidence of the need for commercial development in this area has been provided. The
proposed intensity of the commercial uses that would be allowed with a C-2 (General
Commercial) zoning district are not compatible with the existing single-family residential
neighborhoods adjacent to the proposal.

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 has direct access to Rainbow Boulevard, a 100-foot Primary Arterial
Street as designated by the Master Plan of Streets and Highways. The street provides
adequate capacity to accommodate the proposal; however, the proposed commercial uses
are not compatible with the area.

FINDINGS (VAR-63817)
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.
2.
3.

Permit a use in a zoning district in which the use is not allowed;


Vary any minimum spacing requirement between uses;
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.
No evidence of a unique or extraordinary circumstance has been presented, in that the applicant
has created a self-imposed hardship by proposing to change a residential property into a
commercial property that does not meet the minimum code standards. In view of the absence of

** STAFF REPORT **

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a Tentative Map for a proposed eight-lot single-family residential
subdivision, comprised of eight residential lots and two common lots on a 1.90-acre undeveloped
site located on the northwest corner of Dorrell Lane and Decatur Boulevard, within a R-1 (Single
Family Residential) zoning district.
In addition, the applicant has also requested a Waiver of Title 19.02 and Variance of Title 19.04
Complete Street development standards; to allow a connectivity ratio of 1.0 where 1.3 is
required, to allow no amenity zone where such is required along Dorrell Lane and Decatur
Boulevard, to allow a 187-foot external intersection offset where 220 feet is the minimum
distance separation required and to allow no streetlights along the interior private street where
such are required. No unique or extraordinary evidence has been presented to warrant the
requested Waiver and Variance. As such, the hardship is self-imposed and; therefore, staff
recommends denial of all associated applications with this project.

ISSUES

A Waiver is required to allow no installation of streetlights along the interior private street
required by Title 19.02.240 development standards.
A Waiver is required to allow a 187-foot external intersection offset where 220 feet is the
minimum distance separation required by Title 19.02.140 development standards.
A Variance application is required to allow a connectivity ratio of 1.0 where 1.3 is required
by Title 19.04.040 development standards.
A Variance is required to allow, no amenity zone improvements along Dorrell Lane and
Decatur Boulevard, which are required by Title 19.04 development standards.

ANALYSIS
The applicant has proposed to develop the subject site into a 10-lot single-family residential
subdivision located on the northwest corner of Dorrell Lane and Decatur Boulevard, within an R1 (Single Family Residential) zoning district. The subject site is 1.90-acres and is currently
undeveloped.

JB

VAR-63584, WVR-63585 and TMP-63586 [PRJ-63482]


Staff Report Page Two
June 14, 2016 - Planning Commission Meeting

In addition, the applicant has also requested a Waiver (WVR-63585) of Title 19.02 and Variance
(VAR-63584) of Title 19.04 Complete Street development standards; to allow a connectivity
ratio of 1.0 where 1.3 is required, to allow no amenity zone where such is required along Dorrell
Lane and Decatur Boulevard, to allow a 187-foot external intersection offset where 220 feet is
the minimum distance separation required and to allow no streetlights along the proposed interior
private street where such are required.
The existing General Plan land use designation ML (Medium Low Density Residential) has an
allowable density of 8.49 dwelling units per gross acre, which is compatible with the eight
dwellings which are proposed. The proposed lots range in size from 7,088 square feet to 9,252
square feet and exceed the 60-foot minimum lot width required by code. Site access is proposed
from Shady Chestnut Court by way of a 47-foot private street that will serve this site. The
applicant has indicated on the submitted plan that six-foot perimeter screening walls and interior
screening walls will be provided between the proposed lots and surrounding the site, which will
be designed in accordance with Title 19.06.060 development standards. The submitted
north/south and east/west 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. No retaining walls are shown in the cross
sections.
The Clark County School District was provided an opportunity to comment on the proposed
development. However, no comments were received that indicated either a favorable or
unfavorable review of the proposed residential project.
The City is currently working on building complete streets throughout the City. No unique or
extraordinary evidence has been presented to warrant the requested Waiver and Variance. As
such, the hardship is self-imposed and; therefore, staff recommends denial of all associated
applications with this project.

FINDINGS (VAR-63584)
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.
2.
3.

Permit a use in a zoning district in which the use is not allowed;


Vary any minimum spacing requirement between uses;
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

JB

Staff Report Page Three

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.
No evidence of a unique or extraordinary circumstance has been presented, in that the applicant
has created a self-imposed hardship by proposing to not construct the required improvements
associated with the rights-of-way within the subject site. 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.

FINDINGS (WVR-63585)
No substantial evidence has been presented to warrant the requested Waiver of Title 19.02 to
allow no streetlights along the proposed interior private street and to allow a 187-foot external
intersection offset where 220 feet is the minimum distance separation allowed, staff recommends
denial of the request with conditions.

FINDINGS (TMP-63586)
The proposed Tentative Map conforms to Nevada Revised Statute, however the applicant has
requested a Waiver (WVR-63584) of Title 19.02.240 and Variance (VAR-63585) of Title
19.04.220 Complete Street development standards to allow a connectivity ratio of 1.0 where 1.3
is required, to allow no amenity zone where such is required along Dorrell Lane and Decatur
Boulevard, to allow a 187-foot external intersection offset where 220 feet is the minimum
distance separation required and to allow no streetlights along the proposed interior private street
where such are required. Therefore, staff recommends denial with conditions.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a Tentative Map for a proposed 57-lot single-family residential subdivision,
comprised of 57 residential lots and five common lots on 11.86-acres undeveloped site located
on the north side of Dorrell Lane, approximately 425 feet west of Decatur Boulevard, within a R1 (Single Family Residential) zoning district.
In addition, the applicant has also requested a Waiver of Title 19.02 and Variance of Title 19.04
Complete Street development standards to allow no amenity zone where such is required along
Dorrell Lane and Donald Road, to allow a 154-foot external intersection offset where 220 feet is
the minimum distance separation required and to allow no streetlights along the proposed interior
private streets where such are required. No unique or extraordinary evidence has been presented
to warrant the requested Waiver and Variance. As such, the hardship is self-imposed and;
therefore, staff recommends denial of all associated applications with this project.

ISSUES

A Waiver is required to allow no installation of streetlights along the proposed interior


private streets by Title 19.02.240 development standards.
A Waiver is required to allow a 154-foot external intersection offset where 220 feet is the
minimum distance separation required by Title 19.02.140 development standards.
A Variance is required to allow no amenity zone improvements and sidewalk along Dorrell
Lane and Donald Road, which are required by Title 19.04 development standards.

ANALYSIS
The applicant has proposed to develop the subject site into a 57-lot single-family residential
subdivision located on the north side of Dorrell Lane, approximately 425 feet west of Decatur
Boulevard, within an R-1 (Single Family Residential) zoning district. The subject site is 11.86acres and is currently undeveloped.
In addition, the applicant has also requested a Waiver (WVR-63579) of Title 19.02 and Variance
(VAR-63577) of Title 19.04 Complete Street development standards; to allow no amenity zone
where such is required along Dorrell Lane and Donald Road, to allow a 154-foot external

ANALYSIS
The applicant has proposed to develop the subject site into a 57-lot single-family residential
subdivision located on the north side of Dorrell Lane, approximately 425 feet west of Decatur
Boulevard, within an R-1 (Single Family Residential) zoning district. The subject site is 11.86acres and is currently undeveloped.
In addition, the applicant has also requested a Waiver (WVR-63579) of Title 19.02 and Variance
(VAR-63577) of Title 19.04 Complete Street development standards; to allow no amenity zone
where such is required along Dorrell Lane and Donald Road, to allow a 154-foot external
intersection offset where 220 feet is the minimum distance separation required and to allow no
streetlights along the proposed interior private streets where such are required.
The existing General Plan land use designation L (Low Density Residential) has an allowable
density of 5.49 dwelling units per gross acre, which is compatible with the 57 dwellings which
are proposed. The proposed lots range in size from 6,538 square feet to 14,139 square feet and
exceed the 60-foot minimum lot width required by code. Site access is proposed from Cinder
Horse Street, Amber Robin Street and Shady Palms Street by way of 47-foot private streets that
will serve this site. The applicant has indicated on the submitted plan that six-foot perimeter
screening walls and interior screening walls will be provided between the proposed lots and
surrounding the site, which will be designed in accordance with Title 19.06.060 development
standards. The submitted north/south and east/west 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. No retaining walls are
shown in the cross sections.
The Clark County School District was provided an opportunity to comment on the proposed
development. However, no comments were received that indicated either a favorable or
unfavorable review of the proposed residential project.

Staff Report Page Eight
June 14, 2016 - Planning Commission Meeting

The City is currently working on building complete streets throughout the City. No unique or
extraordinary evidence has been presented to warrant the requested Waiver and Variance. As
such, the hardship is self-imposed and; therefore, staff recommends denial of all associated
applications with this project.

FINDINGS (VAR-63577)
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.
2.
3.

Permit a use in a zoning district in which the use is not allowed;


Vary any minimum spacing requirement between uses;
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.
No evidence of a unique or extraordinary circumstance has been presented, in that the applicant
has created a self-imposed hardship by proposing to not construct the required improvements
associated with the rights-of-way within the subject site. 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.

FINDINGS (WVR-63579)
No substantial evidence has been presented to warrant the requested Waiver of Title 19.02 to
allow no streetlights along the proposed interior private streets and to allow a 154-foot external
intersection offset where 220 feet is the minimum distance separation allowed, staff recommends
denial of the request with conditions.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a Tentative Map for a proposed eight-lot single-family residential
subdivision, comprised of eight residential lots and two common lots on a 2.10-acre undeveloped
site located on the southeast corner of Dorrell Lane and Unicorn Street, within a R-1 (Single
Family Residential) zoning district.
In addition, the applicant has also requested a Waiver of Title 19.02 and Variance of Title 19.04
Complete Street development standards; to allow a connectivity ratio of 1.0 where 1.3 is
required, to allow no amenity zone where such is required along Dorrell Lane and Unicorn
Street, to allow a 183-foot external intersection offset where 220 feet is the minimum distance
separation required and to allow no streetlights along the proposed interior private street where
such are required. No unique or extraordinary evidence has been presented to warrant the
requested Waiver and Variance. As such, the hardship is self-imposed and; therefore, staff
recommends denial of all associated applications with this project.

ISSUES

A Waiver is required to allow no installation of streetlights along the proposed interior


private street required by Title 19.02.240 development standards.
A Waiver is required to allow a 183-foot external intersection offset where 220 feet is the
minimum distance separation required by Title 19.02.140 development standards.
A Variance application is required to allow a connectivity ratio of 1.0 where 1.3 is required
by Title 19.04.040 development standards.
A Variance is required to allow, no amenity zone improvements and sidewalk along Dorrell
Lane and Unicorn Street, which are required by Title 19.04 development standards.

ANALYSIS
The applicant has proposed to develop the subject site into a 10-lot single-family residential
subdivision located on the southeast corner of Dorrell Lane and Unicorn Street, within an R-1
(Single Family Residential) zoning district. The subject site is 2.10-acres and is currently
undeveloped.
In addition, the applicant has also requested a Waiver (WVR-63588) of Title 19.02 and Variance
(VAR-63587) of Title 19.04 Complete Street development standards; to allow a connectivity
ratio of 1.0 where 1.3 is required, to allow no amenity zone where such is required along Dorrell

Lane and Unicorn Street, to allow a 183-foot external intersection offset where 220 feet is the
minimum distance separation required and to allow no streetlights along the proposed interior
private street where such are required.
The existing General Plan land use designation ML (Medium Low Density Residential) has an
allowable density of 8.49 dwelling units per gross acre, which is compatible with the eight
dwellings which are proposed. The proposed lots range in size from 8,268 square feet to 10,898
square feet and exceed the 60-foot minimum lot width required by code. Site access is proposed
from Cinder Crow Court by way of a 47-foot private street that will serve this site. The applicant
has indicated on the submitted plan that six-foot perimeter screening walls and interior screening
walls will be provided between the proposed lots and surrounding the site, which will be
designed in accordance with Title 19.06.060 development standards. The submitted north/south
and east/west 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. No retaining walls are shown in the cross sections.
The Clark County School District was provided an opportunity to comment on the proposed
development. However, no comments were received that indicated either a favorable or
unfavorable review of the proposed residential project.
The City is currently working on building complete streets throughout the City. No unique or
extraordinary evidence has been presented to warrant the requested Waiver and Variance. As
such, the hardship is self-imposed and; therefore, staff recommends denial of all associated
applications with this project.

FINDINGS (VAR-63587)
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.
2.
3.

Permit a use in a zoning district in which the use is not allowed;


Vary any minimum spacing requirement between uses;
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.
No evidence of a unique or extraordinary circumstance has been presented, in that the applicant
has created a self-imposed hardship by proposing to not construct the required improvements
associated with the rights-of-way within the subject site. 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.

FINDINGS (WVR-63588)
No substantial evidence has been presented to warrant the requested Waiver of Title 19.02 to
allow no streetlights along the proposed interior private street and to allow a 187-foot external
intersection offset where 220 feet is the minimum distance separation allowed, staff recommends
denial of the request with conditions.

FINDINGS (TMP-63589)
The proposed Tentative Map conforms to Nevada Revised Statute, however the applicant has
requested a Waiver (WVR-63588) of Title 19.02 and Variance (VAR-63587) of Title 19.04
Complete Street development standards to allow a connectivity ratio of 1.0 where 1.3 is required,
to allow no amenity zone where such is required along Dorrell Lane and Unicorn Street, to allow
a 183-foot external intersection offset where 220 feet is the minimum distance separation
required and to allow no streetlights along the proposed interior private street where such are
required. Therefore, staff recommends denial with conditions.

** STAFF REPORT **

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a Special Use Permit to allow a Short-Term Residential Rental use at 557
Canosa Avenue. The applicant is also requesting a Waiver to allow this use within 560 feet of a
similar use. Staff finds locating an additional Short-Term Residential Rental within 560 feet of
another Short-Term Residential Rental to be too intense for the existing residential neighborhood
and is recommending denial of this application. If denied, the applicant will not be able to offer
the residence as a Short-Term Residential Rental; and if approved, staff request the Special Use
Permit be subject to conditions.

ISSUES

Short-Term Residential Rental is a Conditional Use in the R-1 (Single Family Residential)
zoning district; however, the applicant was not able to meet Condition Number 4, which
requires a distance separation of 660 feet in between Short-Term Residential Rental uses.
Another Short-Term Residential Rental exists approximately 560 feet from the subject site.

ANALYSIS
The Short-Term Residential Rental use is defined as the commercial use, or the making
available for commercial use, of a residential dwelling unit for dwelling, lodging or sleeping
purposes, wherein any individual guest rents or occupies the unit for a period of less than 31
consecutive calendar days. This use does not include a Community Residence, Facility for
Transitional Living for Released Offenders, or any other facility with dwelling units that is
specifically defined in Chapter 19.18.
The subject site meets the definition of a Short-Term Residential Rental, as the applicant has
proposed to lease the three-bedroom, detached, single family residence to the public for
dwelling, lodging or sleeping purposes for less than 31 consecutive calendar days.
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include:
1. Requirement 1: The operator must obtain a business license to operate the use.
If this request for a Special Use Permit for a Short-Term Residential Rental use is
approved, the applicant will be required to obtain a business license for the commercial
use of the residence.
NE

SUP-63935 [PRJ-63934]
Staff Report Page Two
June 14, 2016 - Planning Commission Meeting

2. Requirement 2: The use must comply on an ongoing basis with all governmental
licensing and regulatory requirements, including the payment of applicable room taxes
and licensing fees.
If approved, once a business license is issued for a Short-Term Residential Rental use,
the license will be subject to regulatory requirements with annual compliance reviews to
ensure compliance.
3. Requirement 3: The use must comply with the Citys noise regulations as they apply to
residential uses.
If the proposed use violates the Citys noise regulations, neighbors, and/or members of
the public are able to file a complaint with the Department of Plannings Code
Enforcement Division. If substantiated, the violation could result in a fine, and/or loss of
business license.
4. Requirement 4: Vehicle parking associated with the use shall comply with applicable
parking regulations, and vehicles of guests and invitees shall not obstruct traffic or access
to other properties in the area.
If the parking regulations are violated, neighbors, and/or members of the public may file
a complaint with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, or the Department of
Plannings Business License Division for non-compliance with business licensing
requirements.
5. Requirement 5: In addition to and independent of any enforcement authority or remedy
described in this Title, the failure to comply with a Minimum Special Use Permit
Requirement or other condition of approval associated with this use may be enforced as
in the case of a violation of Title 6 by means of a civil proceeding pursuant to LVMC
6.02.400 to 6.02.460, inclusive.
If approved, and a business license is issued, the subject site will be subject to an annual
review for compliance by the Department of Plannings Business Licensing Division.
6. Requirement 6: The use may not be located closer than 660 feet to any other Short-Term
Residential Rental use (measured from property line to property line).

NE

SUP-63935 [PRJ-63934]
Staff Report Page Three
June 14, 2016 - Planning Commission Meeting

The subject site was unable to satisfy this condition, and a Waiver has been requested by
the applicant to allow for a 560-foot distance separation between similar uses where 660
feet is required.
7. Requirement 7: The maximum occupancy of the residential dwelling unit shall not
exceed the limits provided for in LVMC 6.75.090.
If approved, and a business license is issued, the subject site will be subject to regular
inspections by the Department of Plannings Business Licensing Division ensuring
compliance with Short-Term Residential Rental use regulations.
Staff finds the proposed Short-Term Residential Rental use at 557 Canosa Avenue to not be
compatible with the existing residential neighborhood as there is a similar use actively licensed
at 1824 Rexford Drive, approximately 560 feet away from the subject property. In addition, there
are two additional Short-Term Residential Rentals within the immediate area. 1900 Rexford
Drive is located approximately 570 feet away from the subject site and also holds an active
Short-Term Residential Rental use business license; in addition to 545 East St. Louis Avenue,
located approximately 630 feet away from the subject site. This location also holds an active
business license for a Short-Term Residential Rental use. Staff finds the immediate area within
the 660-foot radius of the subject site to already be saturated with Short-Term Residential Rental
uses and is recommending denial of this application. If approved, subject to conditions.

FINDINGS (SUP-63935)
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 land use cannot be conducted in a manner that is harmonious and
compatible with the existing surrounding land uses due to the Waiver request for a 560foot distance separation from a similar use. If approved, it will set precedents that would
allow other Short-Term Residential Rental uses to proliferate and change the character of
the residential neighborhood.

2.

The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use proposed.
The subject site is not physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use proposed as
there is another Short-Term Residential Rental use approximately 560 feet away.

NE

SUP-63935 [PRJ-63934]
Staff Report Page Four
June 14, 2016 - Planning Commission Meeting

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 subject site is currently accessed by Canosa Avenue, a 50-foot wide local street.

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.
If approved, the Special Use Permit will be subject to conditions, and the applicant will be
required to obtain a City business license, which is also subject to inspection.

5.

The use meets all of the applicable conditions per Title 19.12.
The proposed use does not meet all of the applicable conditions of approval as
demonstrated by the Waiver request to be located within 560 feet of a similar use.
