** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
A 214-lot single family residential subdivision is proposed over three portions of the
previously approved Tentative Map for Phase 1 of Reverence (TMP-60968) on a portion
of 113.42 acres. The existing Phase 1 and Phase 2 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 Phases 1 and 2 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
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 0.94, which is below the minimum score for qualifying
subdivisions (1.3).
This is the third phase of the Reverence (Summerlin Village 26) development. The
Phase 1 Tentative Map (TMP-60968) included the entire site, but only depicted 323
single-family lots and one multi-family residential lot on parcels already owned by the
applicant, leaving the remaining parcels to include common area or large pod lots for
future development; a Final Map (FMP-65719) recorded for Phase 1 on 01/04/17 for
293 single-family residential lots and six large POD lots. The Phase 2 Tentative Map
JB
TMP-71264 [PRJ-71229]
Staff Report Page Two
September 12, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
(TMP-64418) included 148 single-family residential lots within the development on lots
that are not contiguous similar to this proposed Phase 3 tentative map submittal; a Final
Map (FMP-68935) was recorded for Phase 2A on 05/18/17 for 88 single-family
residential lots. Lots on this proposed Phase 3 map are also not contiguous; they would
remap portions of Phase 1.
Access to this phase would be from Lake Mead Boulevard and from portions of Phase
1, namely Desert Hope Drive and Reverence Parkway (both public streets). Residential
streets are primarily 41-foot private streets. Reverence Parkway, the major collector
road for the community, reaches 81 feet in width. Lot sizes range from 3,800 square
feet to 13,650 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 walls are shown on the
submitted cross section drawings.
The Clark County School District projects that approximately 93 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), only Palo Verde High School were over capacity
for the 2016-2017 school year.
FINDINGS (TMP-71264)
The map as proposed is in conformance with Title 19 and NRS requirements for
tentative maps. Staff recommends approval with the understanding that Phase 3 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.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
ISSUES
ANALYSIS
The proposed Tentative Map is for a 141-lot single-family residential subdivision located
within Village 24 in Summerlin West. The proposed development is subject to the terms
of a Development Agreement between the Master Developer and the City of Las Vegas,
and to the requirements of the Summerlin Development Standards. The proposed
tentative map and the specific residential product to be constructed on the site were
reviewed and conditionally approved by the Summerlin Design Review Committee on
07/24/17, prior to submittal to the City for review.
The subject property is designated as SF3 (Single Family Detached) Summerlin Special
Land Use Designation which allows for a maximum of 10 units per gross acre. The
proposed development has a density of 4.30 units per acre, which 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 requirements. Although it is not subject to Title 19
connectivity requirements, the design of the subdivision has a Connectivity Score of
2.50, which is above the preferred ratio of 1.30.
The proposed lots range in size from 5,552 square feet to 12,914 square feet. Site
access is from Crossbridge Drive by way of a 78-foot public street. Additional
emergency access to Crossbrige Drive is provided through a proposed public utility
easement in the southern portion of the site. Interior circulation is provided by 43-foot
wide public streets with a roll curb, gutter and sidewalk on one side of the street.

The Clark County School District projects that approximately 60 primary and secondary
school students would be generated by the proposed development on this site. Of the
three schools in the area (Givens Elementary School, Rogich Middle School and Palo
Verde High School), the District notes that all three schools are over capacity for the
2016-17 school year and no new schools are planned in this area at this time.
FINDINGS (TMP-71302)
The proposed Tentative Map conforms to the Summerlin Development Standards, the
Village 24 Master Development Plan and Title 19 requirements for Tentative Maps.
Staff therefore recommends approval.

parcels of land located in the Southeast Sector of the General Plan and has a current
land use designation of C (Commercial). The subject site currently has a split zoning
designation of C-2 (General Commercial) on APN 139-34-710-002 and R-4 (High
Density Residential) on APNs 139-34-710-003 and 004. The applicant has submitted a
request for a Rezoning (ZON-71306) on APNs 139-34-710-003 and 004 from R-4 (High
Density Residential) to C-2 (General Commercial) to allow for consolidation of the three
parcels through a mapping action which will done at a later time.
The proposed 15,273 square-foot office building will cover approximately 35% of the 0.54
acre site. The submitted building elevations indicate the structure will be 33 feet tall
measured to the top of the parapet; building faades will have a grey stucco finish, with
matte black accent trim and blue glass.
All interior parking lot landscaping has been designed to comply with code requirements
for spacing and quantities; however the applicant has requested a Waiver to allow a
zero-foot landscape buffer along all perimeters. The primary tree species being utilized
are the 36 box Southern Oak, 36 box Canary Date Palm and 36 box Mexican Fan
Palm trees. Additionally, the applicant has proposed to install streetscape improvements
adjacent to the site with 36 box Southern Oak trees spaces in 20-foot intervals which
matches the streetscape standards outlined within the Downtown Centennial Plan.
These parcels are currently served by Las Vegas Valley Water District (LVVWD) for
domestic water. Civil and plumbing plans will need to be submitted to LVVWD for
domestic meter sizing, fire flow and backflow prevention. Proof of parcel lot
consolidation will be required prior to LVVWD approval of civil improvement plans or
building permits.
Although the subject site does not comply with current Title 19.12 on-site parking
requirements and Title 19.08.080 minimum building setbacks and maximum wall height;
the subject site is located within the Founders District of the Vision 2045 Downtown Las
Vegas Masterplan, which was adopted by the City Council (Resolution R-25-2016) on
July 15th, 2016. The Vision 2045 Downtown Las Vegas Masterplan is the policy

downtown region. The Vision 2045 Las Vegas Masterplan envisions and encourages
downtown Las Vegas to achieve a compact, vibrant urban environment, with a focus on
higher density mixed-use development around transit hubs and activity nodes.
On September 12th, 2017 the Department of Planning will present Interim Downtown
Las Vegas Urban Form Standards to the Planning Commission, which is intended to
supersede and replace the DCP-O Downtown Centennial Plan Overlay and establish
the Downtown Las Vegas Overlay (DTLV-O). The DTLV-O will serve as the primary
regulating document for all development and improvements within the DTLV-O
boundaries. As the design of the proposed office building is generally consistent with
the currently approved development standards outlined within the Downtown Centennial
Plan, and the anticipated Interim Downtown Las Vegas Vision Form Standards
regarding building placement, streetscape and parking lot landscaping, Staff
recommends approval. Staff has determined the proposed project is compatible with
surrounding development in the area, as demonstrated by the proposed Downtown Las
Vegas Overlay (DTLV-O). Therefore, staff is recommends approval of this project with
conditions.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
ISSUES
The site is zoned C-V (Civic) and is subject to the requirements of Title 19.10.020,
which generally allows the establishment of development standards through
approval of a Site Development Plan Review. However, because the site is adjacent
to R-1 (single Family Residential) and R-E (Rural Estates Residential Clark
County) zoned properties, development is subject to specific Title 19 standards.
A Variance from Title 19.10.020 is required to allow a 39-foot building height where
35 feet is allowed, a five-foot perimeter landscape buffer along a portion of the west
property line and a 10-foot landscape buffer along a portion of the east property line
where 15 feet is required for both. Staff recommends approval of the variance.
A condition of approval will require the addition of two 24-inch box shade trees at the
ends of rows within the proposed parking lot and one 24-inch box Holly Oak tree in
the buffer adjacent to Seabiscuit Street in order to conform to Title 19.08 standards.
These are not part of the variance request.
ANALYSIS
The C-V (Civic) zoning district allows any use operated or controlled by the city, county,
state or federal government, including a primary school operated by the Clark County
School District. The Public or Private School, Primary use is already established on the
site and is proposed to be expanded by this additional classroom building on the same
property while at the same time replacing temporary classroom structures with a
permanent building.
Site Development is subject to LVMC Title 19, with emphasis on 19.10.020 with regard
to C-V zoned properties. Per Title 19.10.020, the development standards for a C-V
(Civic) property are established by approval of a Site Development Plan Review.

Perimeter landscaping will consist of 24-inch box Mondel Pines along the north property
line, 24-inch box Holly Oak along Seabiscuit Street and 24-inch box Fan-Tex Ash along
Winwood Street. Parking lot trees include 24-inch box Red Push Pistache, Fan-Tex
Ash and Mexican Fan Palms, which according to the Southern Nevada Regional
Planning Coalition Plant List are appropriate parking lot and shade trees. Clark County
School District has expressed concerns over larger shade trees blocking security
camera coverage when placed close to school buildings and has thus proposed the
palm trees as an alternative. Two additional 24-inch box trees still must be provided at
the ends of parking rows. This will be required as a condition of approval.

The proposed classroom building exterior will consist of variations in texture, color and
materials, featuring a colored CMU base and corrugated metal paneling. The roofline
would be flat but the parapet would vary in height.
Federal Aviation Regulations (Title 14, Part 77) require that the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) be notified before the construction or alteration of any building or
structure greater than 200 feet in height [77.13(a)(1)] or that will exceed a slope of
100:1 for a distance of 20,000 feet from the nearest point of any airport runway greater
than 3,200 feet in length [77.13(a)(2)(i)]. Such notification allows the FAA to determine
what impact, if 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 for the
North Las Vegas Airport (VGT). Therefore, as required by 14 CFR Part 77, the FAA
must be notified of the proposed construction or alteration. A condition of approval
addresses this issue.
The Las Vegas Valley Water District (LVVWD) provided the following comment
regarding this site:
This parcel is currently served by LVVWD for both fire and domestic. Site civil and
plumbing plans will need to be submitted to LVVWD for domestic meter sizing and fire
flow verification.
The proposed classroom and parking lot additions to the existing primary school are
compatible with the existing school facilities and development on neighboring
properties. In addition, the expansion conforms to the policies and objectives of the
School Facilities Element of the Las Vegas 2020 Master Plan. Staff therefore
recommends approval.
FINDINGS (VAR-71196)
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:

The strict application of the additional standards required by the C-V (Civic) zoning
district would prevent the reasonable expansion of an existing school site on property
reserved for such expansion. The adjacent residential uses are over 100 feet away
from the new building and the perimeter of the site adjacent to proposed development
will be adequately buffered from adjacent residential uses. Therefore, relief to these
standards would not have a substantial detriment to the public good and would not
substantially impair the intent and purpose of any ordinance or resolution.
FINDINGS (SDR-71197)
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:
2. The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan, this Title,
and other duly-adopted city plans, policies and standards;
The proposed development does not meet the required height or landscape buffer
width requirements of the C-V zoning district. However, measures have been
taken to mitigate any negative effects to adjacent properties. The School
Facilities Element of the Las Vegas 2020 Master Plan includes policies and
objectives highlighting cooperation with Clark County School District in meeting
the needs of the citys expanding population. This includes providing equal
educational opportunities in established neighborhoods, which is satisfied by this
proposal.

Access to the site from the west will remain from Winwood Street; however, more
parking will be provided. The main access from Seattle Slew Drive will not be
changed; however, it is estimated that approximately 156 additional vehicles
overall would be introduced into the area as a result of the proposed development.
The adjacent and nearby streets of Winwood Street, Seattle Slew Drive, Michael
Way and Smoke Ranch Road are all believed to be under capacity at this time.
4. Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the
City;
The proposed building will have a variegated concrete block base with storefront
glazing, with contrasting corrugated metal panels and block. The proposed
materials are appropriate for the area and the City.
The proposed building will have a variegated concrete block base with storefront
glazing, and rooflines that vary in height. The mass of the building will be broken
up with contrasting corrugated metal panels and CMU block providing varied wall
planes and visual interest. The proposed design will be harmonious and
compatible with development in the area.
6. Appropriate measures are taken to secure and protect the public health,
safety and general welfare.

COMMENTS:
Federal Aviation Regulations (Title 14, Part 77) require that the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) be notified before the construction or alteration of any building or structure greater than
200 feet in height ( 77.13(a)(1)) or that will exceed a slope of 100:1 for a distance of 20,000
feet from the nearest point of any airport runway greater than 3,200 feet in length ( 77.13
(a)(2)(i)). Such notification allows the FAA to determine what impact, if 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 for the North Las Vegas
Airport (VGT). Therefore, as required by 14 CFR Part 77, the FAA must be notified of the
proposed construction or alteration. The CCDOA requests that the City of Las Vegas impose
the conditions listed below for the project:
Applicant is required to file a valid FAA Form 7460-1, "Notice of Proposed Construction
or Alteration" with the FAA, in accordance with 14 CFR Part 77, or submit to the Clark
County Director of Aviation a Property Owners Shielding Determination Statement
and request written concurrence from the Clark County Department of Aviation;
No Building Permit or other construction permit shall be issued for any structure greater
than 35 feet above the surface of land that, based upon the FAAs 7460 airspace
determination (the outcome of filing the FAA Form 7460-1), would (a) constitute a
hazard to air navigation, (b) would result in an increase to minimum flight altitudes
during any phase of flight (unless approved by the Department of Aviation), or (c) would
otherwise be determined to pose a significant adverse impact on airport or aircraft
operations.
Applicant is advised that FAAs airspace determinations are dependent on petitions by
any interested party and the height that will not present a hazard as determined by the
FAA may change based on these comments.
Applicant is advised that the FAAs airspace determinations include expiration dates and
that the separate airspace determinations will be needed for construction cranes or other
temporary equipment.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Clark County School District is proposing to replace some existing temporary
classrooms with a new three story classroom building and to increase the parking for
Vegas Verdes Elementary School at 4000 El Parque Avenue.
ISSUES
The subject site is zoned C-V (Civic) and is subject to the requirements of Title
19.10.020, which generally allows the establishment of development standards by
approval of a Site Development Plan Review.
The subject site is adjacent to properties zoned R-1 (Single Family Residential) and
therefore must comply with the additional standards of the 35-foot maximum height
of R-E (Residence Estates), the landscape buffer standards of P-O (Professional
Office), and the commercial and industrial parking design standards.
Per Title 19.10.020 (I), deviation from those requirements may be approved by a
Variance.
The applicant is seeking a Variance (VAR-71212) to allow a building height of 39
feet, an 8-foot-wide landscape buffer along the south property line where fifteen feet
is required, and five parking lot landscape islands where eleven are required. Staff
supports these requests.
ANALYSIS
The subject site, addressed as 4000 El Parque Avenue, is developed with Vegas
Verdes Elementary School; a public school operated by the Clark County School
District. The subject site is zoned C-V (Civic) and has a PF (Public Facilities) land use
designation.
The C-V (Civic) zoning district allows any use operated or controlled by the city, county,
state or federal government, including an Elementary School operated by the Clark
County School District. The public school use is already established on the site and is
proposed to be expanded with this additional classroom building on the same property.
Per Title 19.10.020, the development standards for a C-V (Civic) property are
established by approval of a Site Development Plan Review. However, when adjacent
to a residential use in certain residential zoning districts, additional standards are
PB
VAR-71212 and SDR-71213 [PRJ-71069]
Staff Report Page Two
September 12, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
applied. Those standards include the 35-foot maximum building height of R-E
(Residence Estates), the landscape buffer standards of P-O (Professional Office), and
the commercial and industrial parking design standards.
The proposed 38.2-foot-tall building exceeds the 35-foot maximum building height,
which is required because the site is adjacent to single family dwellings in an R-1
(Single Family Residential) zoning district. The proposed building is setback 51.5 feet
from Los Altos Drive and is approximately 107 feet from the residential properties to the
west. The proposed height is less than 10% greater than the prescribed 35 feet and the
residential property is separated from the site by a 60 foot right of way; therefore, staff
supports the applicants request for an increased building height as part of Variance
(VAR-71212).
The submitted architectural elevations depict a variegated concrete block base with
storefront glazing, and contrasting corrugated metal panels and block. Those
contrasting elements provide faade articulation and break up building massing with
variations in parapet heights and wall planes. The proposed design will therefore be
harmonious and compatible with development in the area.
The submitted landscape plan depicts new perimeter landscaping for areas of the site
that are being disturbed for the classroom building and the parking lot. The materials
proposed are all in conformance with the standards of Title 19.08, but the width of the
buffer along El Parque avenue is proposed to be eight feet in width where 15 feet is
required. The width of the buffer is sufficient to provide the necessary landscape
materials; therefore, staff supports the applicants request for reduced perimeter
landscape buffer as part of Variance (VAR-71212).
The submitted landscape plan also depicts new parking lot landscaping in the proposed
parking lot expansion area. The number of parking lot landscape islands and
associated shade trees are deficient. The plans depict five parking lot landscape
islands and associated trees, where eleven area required. Clark County School District
has expressed concerns over shade trees blocking security camera coverage when
placed close to school buildings. The perimeter landscaping materials are being
provided in full; therefore, staff support the applicants request for reduced parking lot
landscaping as part of Variance (VAR-71212).

Staff Report Page Three
September 12, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
Staff finds that the proposed classroom and parking lot additions to Vegas Verdes
Elementary School are in conformance with the policies and objectives of the School
Facilities Element of the Las Vegas 2020 Master Plan and are compatible with the
existing school facilities and surrounding neighborhoods; therefore, staff recommends
approval.
FINDINGS (VAR-71212)
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:
The strict application of the C-V (Civic) zoning districts additional standards [35-foot
maximum height of R-E (Residence Estates), the landscape buffer standards of P-O
(Professional Office), and the commercial and industrial parking design standards.]
would be an impediment to Clark County School District improving the Vegas Verde
Elementary School facilities to provide education opportunities equal to new schools in
the district. The adjacent residential uses are over 100 feet away from the new building
and full perimeter landscaping materials are provided for buffering. Therefore, relief to
these standards would not have a substantial detriment on the public good and would
not substantially impair the intent and purpose of any ordinance or resolution.
FINDINGS (SDR-71213)
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:
PB
VAR-71212 and SDR-71213 [PRJ-71069]
Staff Report Page Four
September 12, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The subject site has been developed with an Elementary School for nearly 60
years and therefore its expansion and continuation is compatible with the adjacent
residential development.
2. The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan, this Title,
and other duly-adopted city plans, policies and standards;
The School Facilities Element of the Las Vegas 2020 Master Plan includes
policies and objectives highlighting cooperation with Clark County School District
in meeting the needs of the citys expanding population. This includes providing
equal educational opportunities in established neighborhoods.
The subject site is located adjacent to, but does not have direct access to Oakey
Boulevard a Collector Street, and access to the site will not negatively impact the
streets that the site does have access to/from. The project will add approximately
562 trips per day on El Parque Street, Oakey Boulevard, Hinson Street and Las
Verdes Street. Oakey Boulevard will rise to 61 percent of capacity, Hinson Street
to 17 percent and Las Verdes Street to 15 percent of capacity. Counts are not
available for El Parque or Los Altos in this vicinity, but they are believed to be
under capacity.
4. Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the
City;
The proposed building will have a variegated concrete block base with storefront
glazing, with contrasting corrugated metal panels and block. The proposed
materials are appropriate for the area and the City.
The proposed building will have a variegated concrete block base with storefront
glazing, and the mass of the building will be broken up with contrasting corrugated
metal panels and block providing varying heights and wall planes. The proposed
design will be harmonious and compatible with development in the area.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
ISSUES
The site is zoned C-V (Civic) and is subject to the requirements of Title 19.10.020,
which generally allows the establishment of development standards through
approval of a Site Development Plan Review. However, because the site is adjacent
to R-1 (single Family Residential) and R-E (Rural Estates Residential Clark
County) zoned properties, development is subject to specific Title 19 standards.
A Variance from Title 19.10.020 is required to allow a 39-foot building height where
35 feet is allowed, a five-foot perimeter landscape buffer along a portion of the north
property line where eight feet is required and no parking lot landscape islands where
eight islands are required. Staff recommends approval of the variance.
A condition of approval will require one additional handicapped parking space to be
provided in the proposed parking area to meet Title 19.18.030 requirements. This is
not part of the variance request.
The site consists of four separate parcels. In order to comply with Las Vegas Valley
Water District service rules, the parcels must be consolidated into one. The
mapping action shall be completed and recorded prior to the issuance of any
building permits. A condition of approval addresses this issue.
ANALYSIS
The C-V (Civic) zoning district allows any use operated or controlled by the city, county,
state or federal government, including a primary school operated by the Clark County
School District. The Public or Private School, Primary use is already established on the
site and is proposed to be expanded by this additional classroom building on the same
property while at the same time replacing temporary classroom structures with a
permanent building.
SS
VAR-71265 and SDR-71266 [PRJ-71061]
Staff Report Page Two
September 12, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
Site Development is subject to LVMC Title 19, with emphasis on 19.10.020 with regard
to C-V zoned properties. Per Title 19.10.020, the development standards for a C-V
(Civic) property are established by approval of a Site Development Plan Review.
However, when adjacent to a residential use in certain residential zoning districts,
additional standards are applied. Those standards include the maximum building height
of the R-E (Residence Estates) District, the landscape buffer standards of the P-O
(Professional Office) District, and the Title 19.08 commercial and industrial parking
design standards. If these specific standards cannot be met, a variance is required.
Likewise, the new landscape buffer on the north perimeter is proposed to be five feet
wide where eight feet is required by Title 19 requires. A church is located on the
properties north of the school site; however, the site abuts a parking lot and an
undeveloped portion of the school site. In this case, the adjacent properties to the north
would not be adversely affected by the reduction in perimeter landscape buffer width.
Staff therefore supports the variance request from the strict application of the C-V
standards.
Perimeter landscaping will consist of 24-inch box Mondel Pines along the north property
line and 24-inch box Holly Oak along Mustang Street. Additional oak trees are
proposed at the edge of the parking lot near the turfed area. Parking lot trees include
24-inch box Red Push Pistache and Holly Oak. Although no trees are proposed within
landscape islands within the proposed parking lot, trees are provided at the ends of
parking rows to break up large areas of asphalt. As the parking area is relatively small
and the lack of islands has little negative impact to the property, staff recommends that
a variance to allow no landscape islands be approved.

The proposed classroom building exterior will consist of variations in texture, color and
materials, featuring a colored CMU base and corrugated metal paneling. The roofline
would be flat but the parapet would vary in height.
Federal Aviation Regulations (Title 14, Part 77) require that the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) be notified before the construction or alteration of any building or
structure greater than 200 feet in height [77.13(a)(1)] or that will exceed a slope of
100:1 for a distance of 20,000 feet from the nearest point of any airport runway greater
than 3,200 feet in length [77.13(a)(2)(i)]. Such notification allows the FAA to determine
what impact, if 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 for the
North Las Vegas Airport (VGT). Therefore, as required by 14 CFR Part 77, the FAA
must be notified of the proposed construction or alteration. A condition of approval
addresses this issue.
The Las Vegas Valley Water District (LVVWD) provided the following comment
regarding this site:
This parcel is currently served by LVVWD for both fire and domestic. Site civil and
plumbing plans will need to be submitted to LVVWD for domestic meter sizing and fire
flow verification. It should be noted that this site currently exists as four independent
legal parcels. To comply with LVVWD Service Rules, parcel lot consolidation will be
required to serve the new proposed building from the services on the adjacent parcels.
The proposed classroom and parking lot additions to the existing primary school are
compatible with the existing school facilities and development on neighboring
properties. In addition, the expansion conforms to the policies and objectives of the
School Facilities Element of the Las Vegas 2020 Master Plan. Staff therefore
recommends approval.

FINDINGS (VAR-71265)
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:
The strict application of the additional standards required by the C-V (Civic) zoning
district would prevent the reasonable expansion of an existing school site on property
reserved for such expansion. The adjacent residential uses are 100 feet away from the
new building and the perimeter of the site adjacent to proposed development will be
adequately buffered from adjacent residential uses. Therefore, relief to these standards
would not have a substantial detriment to the public good and would not substantially
impair the intent and purpose of any ordinance or resolution.
FINDINGS (SDR-71266)
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:
SS
VAR-71265 and SDR-71266 [PRJ-71061]
Staff Report Page Five
September 12, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
2. The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan, this Title,
and other duly-adopted city plans, policies and standards;
The proposed development does not meet the required height, perimeter
landscape buffer width or parking lot landscaping requirements of the C-V zoning
district. However, measures have been taken to mitigate any negative effects to
adjacent properties. The School Facilities Element of the Las Vegas 2020 Master
Plan includes policies and objectives highlighting cooperation with Clark County
School District in meeting the needs of the citys expanding population. This
includes providing equal educational opportunities in established neighborhoods,
which is satisfied by this proposal.
A new access to the site will be provided from Mustang Street, a 60-foot right-of-
way; however, additional parking will be provided. Circulation around the site is
logical and will minimize conflicts. The primary access from Mustang Street and
Peak Drive will not be changed; however, it is estimated that approximately 189
additional vehicles overall during peak traffic periods would be introduced into the
area as a result of the proposed development. The adjacent streets of Torrey
Pines Drive, Peak Drive and Mustang Street are all believed to be under capacity
at this time.
4. Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the
City;
The proposed building will have a variegated concrete block base with storefront
glazing, with contrasting corrugated metal panels and block. The proposed
materials are appropriate for the area and the City.
The proposed building will have a variegated concrete block base with storefront
glazing, and rooflines that vary in height. The mass of the building will be broken
up with contrasting corrugated metal panels and CMU block providing varied wall
planes and visual interest. The proposed design will be harmonious and
compatible with development in the area.

PLANNING COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL
RECOMMENDATIONS / COMMENTS
COMMENTS:
Federal Aviation Regulations (Title 14, Part 77) require that the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) be notified before the construction or alteration of any building or structure greater than
200 feet in height ( 77.13(a)(1)) or that will exceed a slope of 100:1 for a distance of 20,000
feet from the nearest point of any airport runway greater than 3,200 feet in length ( 77.13
(a)(2)(i)). Such notification allows the FAA to determine what impact, if 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 for the North Las Vegas
Airport (VGT). Therefore, as required by 14 CFR Part 77, the FAA must be notified of the
proposed construction or alteration. The CCDOA requests that the City of Las Vegas impose
the conditions listed below for the project:
Applicant is required to file a valid FAA Form 7460-1, "Notice of Proposed Construction
or Alteration" with the FAA, in accordance with 14 CFR Part 77, or submit to the Clark
County Director of Aviation a Property Owners Shielding Determination Statement
and request written concurrence from the Clark County Department of Aviation;
No Building Permit or other construction permit shall be issued for any structure greater
than 35 feet above the surface of land that, based upon the FAAs 7460 airspace
determination (the outcome of filing the FAA Form 7460-1), would (a) constitute a
hazard to air navigation, (b) would result in an increase to minimum flight altitudes
during any phase of flight (unless approved by the Department of Aviation), or (c) would
otherwise be determined to pose a significant adverse impact on airport or aircraft
operations.
Applicant is advised that FAAs airspace determinations are dependent on petitions by
any interested party and the height that will not present a hazard as determined by the
FAA may change based on these comments.
Applicant is advised that the FAAs airspace determinations include expiration dates and
that the separate airspace determinations will be needed for construction cranes or other
temporary equipment.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request to add an Auto Title Loan use to an existing automobile financier at
2250 South Rancho Drive, Suite #155.
ISSUES
Title 19 requires a Special Use Permit for an Auto Title Loan use within the C-1
(Limited Commercial) zoning district.
A Waiver is required to allow a 54-foot distance separation from a parcel used or
zoned for residential use where 200 feet is required.
ANALYSIS
The subject site is an existing Financial Institution, General that offers secured
automobile loans. Licensed since 1996, the applicant is requesting a Special Use
Permit to allow the ability to offer loans secured by the title of a vehicle rather than the
vehicle itself.
The overall site is a 15.28-acre commercial site that includes offices (both business and
medical), restaurants, and an educational facility (nursing college). The site is designed
to accommodate a variety of land uses, including the proposed Auto Title Loan use.
Directly north of the subject site is an existing residential neighborhood. This has
resulted in the need for the applicant to request a Waiver to allow a 54-foot distance
separation where 200 feet is required. Since the subject site is separated from the
residential neighborhood by a solid screen wall with no direct access between the two
land uses, staff is supporting the Waiver request and recommending approval of the
requested Special Use Permit.
The Auto Title Loan use is defined as A business whose primary function is to lend
money on the security of the title to a motor vehicle rather than on the security of the
vehicle itself.
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include:
Requirement 1:
The use shall comply with all applicable requirements of LVMC Title 6.
NE
SUP-71131 [PRJ-71021]
Staff Report Page Two
September 12, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The proposed use meets this requirement as the use is subject to regular inspections to
ensure compliance.
Requirement 2:
The building design and color scheme shall be subject to review by the Department to
ensure that it will be harmonious and compatible with the surrounding area.
The proposed use meets this requirement as the subject suite is within an existing
building located in an established commercial center that is harmonious and compatible
with the surrounding area.
Requirement 3:
No temporary signs (as described in LVMC 19.08.120(G)) such as balloons, inflated
devices, searchlights, pennants, portable billboards, portable signs, streamers, trucks
parked for signage 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 for a period not to exceed 30 days.
The proposed use meets this requirement as the subject site is subject to regular
inspections to ensure compliance.
Requirement 4:
Window signs shall not:
a. Cover more than 20 percent of the area of all exterior windows;
b. Include flashing lights or neon lighting; or
c. Include any text other than text that indicates the hours of operation and
whether the business is open or closed.
The proposed use meets this requirement as the subject site is subject to regular
inspections to ensure compliance.
Requirement 5:
The hours of operation shall not extend beyond the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.
The proposed use meets this requirement, as the subject site is subject to regular
inspections to ensure compliance.
Requirement 6:
The building or portion thereof that is dedicated to the use shall have a minimum size of
1500 square feet, and shall be designed to have sufficient interior space to provide for
adequate customer waiting areas, customer queuing, and transaction space (such as
teller windows or desks).

Staff Report Page Three
September 12, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The proposed use meets this requirement as the existing Financial Institution, General
facility located within Suite #155 is 4,308 square feet.
Requirement 7:
No auto title loan use may be located closer than 200 feet from any parcel used or
zoned for residential use. In addition, no auto title loan use may be located closer than
1000 feet from any other auto title loan use, auto pawn use or specified financial
institution use. For purposes of this Requirement 7, distances shall be measured in a
straight line from property line to property line, without regard to intervening obstacles.
The term property line refers to property lines of fee interest parcels and not leasehold
parcels.
The proposed use does not meet this requirement, as there is an existing residential
neighborhood located 54 feet north of the subject site. The applicant has requested a
Waiver of this requirement. Since the subject site is part of a 15.28-acre commercial
center that includes medical offices, restaurants, and a college with no direct access to
the residential neighborhood, staff supports this request.
FINDINGS (SUP-71131)
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:
The proposed land use will be located within a commercial center that includes
offices, restaurants, and an educational facility with no direct access to the
residential neighborhood and can be conducted in a manner that is harmonious
and compatible with the existing surrounding land uses.
2. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use
proposed.
The subject site is 15.28 acres and is designed to accommodate a variety of land
uses including an Auto Title Loan use. Staff finds the subject site to be physically
suited for the type and intensity of 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.
Approval of this request will not compromise public health, safety, and welfare as
the proposed use is subject to regular licensing inspections to ensure compliance
with both Title 6 and Title 19.
5. The use meets all of the applicable conditions per Title 19.12.
The proposed use was not able to meet the Special Use Permit requirement,
which states, No auto title loan use may be located closer than 200 feet from any
parcel used or zoned for residential use. The proposed use is approximately 54
feet south of an existing residential neighborhood. The applicant has requested a
Waiver to allow this 54-foot distance separation. Staff supports this request, as the
land uses are separated by a solid screen wall with no direct access between the
residential neighborhood and the proposed Auto Title Loan use.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
ISSUES
ANALYSIS
The subject property contains 3,126 square-foot building occupied by an existing Liquor
Establishment (Tavern) use. The building is proposed to be converted into a
convenience store. The subject property is located in the C-1 (Limited Commercial)
zoning district and the proposed use is subject to Title 19.12 requirements.
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include:
RG
SUP-71318 [PRJ-71152]
Staff Report Page Two
September 12, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The proposed use does not meet this requirement due to a 370-foot distance
separation from a Church/House of Worship use, a waiver request is part of this
application for a Special Use Permit. However, staff finds there is adequate
buffer between the uses and recommends approval.
The proposed use does not meet this requirement due to a 370-foot distance
separation from a Church/House of Worship use, a waiver request is part of this
application for a Special Use Permit. However, staff finds there is adequate
buffer between the uses and recommends approval.
a. From the nearest property line of the existing use to the nearest portion of
the structure in which the establishment will be located, without regard to
intervening obstacles; or
b. In the case of a proposed establishment which will be located within a
shopping center or other multiple tenant structure, from the nearest property
line of the existing use to the nearest property line of a leasehold or
occupancy parcel in which the establishment will be located, without regard
to intervening obstacles.

The requirement is not applicable because the parcel is less than 80 acres in
size.
*4. When considering a Special Use Permit application for an establishment which
also requires a waiver of the distance limitation in Requirement 1, the Planning
Commission shall take into consideration the distance policy and shall, as part
of its recommendation to the City Council, state whether the distance
requirement should be waived and the reasons in support of the decision.
b. A proposed establishment having more than 50,000 square feet of retail floor
space.
*6. All businesses which sell alcoholic beverages shall conform to the provisions of
LVMC Chapter 6.50.

d. In connection with a retail establishment having less than 20,000 square feet
of retail floor space, if the area to be used for the sale, display or merchandising
of alcoholic beverages and each use to be protected are separated by a
highway or a right of way with a width of at least 100 feet.
The proposed use meets subsection (c) of this requirement as the proposed
convenience store space contains 3,126 square feet and no more than 10
percent of the retail floor space would be devoted to the display or
merchandising of alcoholic beverages. Staff finds there is adequate justification
for the waiver request of the distance separation.
This requirement does not apply as the site location is not adjacent to the
Pedestrian Mall.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a petition to vacate the U.S. Government Patent Easement generally located
north of Clark County 215 and 388 feet east of Hualapai Way.
ANALYSIS
The applicant requests that the City of Las Vegas relinquish its interest in the U.S.
Government Patent Easement generally located north of Clark County 215 and east of
Hualapai Way. This Vacation request should be sent to all the utilities; however, as no
right-of-way is proposed to be vacated and no franchise rights are involved, it is not
necessary to send this request to the utility companies and franchise holders, nor wait
for their responses. Since only City interests are involved, any utility company interests
will need to be addressed with each respective utility company and will not be affected
by the City relinquishing its interest.
FINDINGS (VAC-71199)
Staff has no objection to the vacation of the U.S. Government Patent Easement, as this
site will be part of the proposed future development; therefore, staff recommends
approval with conditions.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request to amend the General Plan land use designation on a 11.95-acre
portion of the Centennial Hills Sector Plan located at the northeast corner of Trails End
Avenue and Homestead Road from DR (Desert Rural Density Residential) to R (Rural
Density Residential) and to Rezone the subject 11.95-acre site from R-E (Residence
Estates) to R-D (Single Family Residential-Restricted).
ISSUES
In accordance with Title 19.16, a public hearing is required for both the General Plan
Amendment application and the Rezoning application.
ANALYSIS
The subject sites are currently designated DR (Desert Rural Density Residential) which
allows densities up to 2.49 units per acre. To the west of the subject sites is a five-acre
parcel that is included in Planning Area A2 of the Interlocal Agreement between the City of
Las Vegas and County of Clark adopted on December 21, 2016. This agreement
mandates areas identified as Planning Area A1 and A2 must remain residential and
designated at a density of no greater than 2.0 Units per Groass Acre on the Parties
respective comprehensive plans.
East of the subject sites is a residential development zoned R-PD2 (Residential Planned
Development 2 Units Per Acre), with single family, detached homes. South of the subject
sites are undeveloped lots zoned R-E (Residence Estates), which also allows a density no
less than two residential units per acre. Designating the subject sites R (Rural Density
Residential) that would allow a density up to 3.59 units per acre is not compatible with the
existing surrounding area that allows a maximum density of two units per acre. Staff does
not support the General Plan Amendment or the Rezoning application as the density
proposed would create an island of higher density residential amongst lower density
development.
An abeyance has been requested by the applicant in order to allow time for the
submittal of a Petition to Vacate Homestead Road and a Tentative Map application that
will demonstrate an overall neighborhood layout that would include the five acre parcel
to the west of the subject sites. Staff will reevaluate the proposed development once a
Petition to Vacate and Tentative Map are submitted.

September 12, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
FINDINGS (GPA-69220)
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:
The R (Rural Density Residential) General Plan Designation allows the R-E
(Residence Estates), the proposed R-D (Single Family Residential-Restricted),
and the R-1 (Single Family Residential) zoning districts. The existing
surrounding land uses consist of undeveloped lots and single-family, detached
dwelling units zoned either R-E (Residence Estates) or R-PD2 (Residential
Planned Development 2 Units Per Acre) with minimum lot sizes of
approximately one-half acre, or 20,000 square feet. The R-D (Single Family
Residential-Restricted) requires a minimum lot size of 10,000 square feet, and
the R-1 (Single Family Residential) zoning district has a minimum lot size of
6,500 square feet. This is half to one-third of the minimum lot sizes surrounding
the subject sites and is not compatible.

September 12, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
Las Vegas and County of Clark adopted on December 21, 2016. This agreement
mandates these parcels designated by the agreement to remain residential with a
density no greater than 2.0 units per acre. Designating property adjacent to this
parcel that would allow a density up to 3.59 units per acre is not compatible to
other applicable plans within the immediate area.
FINDINGS (ZON-69224)
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 R-D (Single Family Residential-Restricted) zoning district allows for single-
family, detached development with a minimum lot size of 10,000 square feet,
which is half the minimum size of the adjacent R-E (Residence Estates) zoning
district to the west and south. The R-E (Residence Estates) zoning district
requires a minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet.
3. Growth and development factors in the community indicate the need for or
appropriateness of the rezoning.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a General Plan Amendment from DR (Desert Rural Density
Residential) to SC (Service Commercial) and a Rezoning from R-E (Residence Estates)
to C-1 (Limited Commercial). The subject site is located at 4801 Ricky Road. At this
time, there are no proposed development projects associated with the requested
changes.
ISSUES
The proposed General Plan Amendment and Rezoning does not adhere to the intent
of the RP-O (Rural Preservation Overlay) District.
ANALYSIS
The subject site is undeveloped and approximately 0.59 acres. It is a corner lot,
surrounded by residential uses. The parcels adjacent to the north, south and west are
all zoned R-E (Residence Estates) and have single family detached dwellings. The
property to the east is separated by Decatur Boulevard, zoned PUD (Planned Unit
Development) and under the City of North Las Vegas jurisdiction. It is composed of
multi-family dwellings and single family dwellings. Approval of the requested
entitlements would allow the applicant to operate uses such as a restaurant, trade
school or wedding chapel, which are all permitted in the C-1 (Limited Commercial)
zoning district. In addition, there are other more intense uses that would require a
Conditional Use Verification or Special Use Permit in the C-1 zoning district.
At this time, no development has been proposed for the subject site. Possible restaurant
uses and tire shop uses were mentioned at the pre-application meeting. The owner
also discussed these uses at the neighborhood meeting held on 03/20/17. The majority
of the public present at the meeting were opposed to supporting the proposed General
Plan Amendment and Rezoning without knowing the exact use of the site.
The site is surrounded by residential uses and is located within a large-lot residential
development. The proposed land use designation and zoning would allow uses that are
too intense for the surrounding adjacent uses. Staff recommends denial of the request.

Staff Report Page Two
September 12, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
FINDINGS (GPA-69192)
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:
The subject site is located on a primary arterial street and within a predominantly
residential area. There is access to adequate transportation, recreation, and utility
facilities to accommodate the proposed General Plan Amendment.
The subject site is located within the Rural Preservation Overlay District. The
intent of this district is to ensure that the rural character of each rural
preservation neighborhood is preserved. The proposed General Plan
Amendment and Rezoning would not be in line with the mission of this district.
FINDINGS (ZON-69193)
CS
GPA-69192 And ZON-69193 [PRJ-69087]
Staff Report Page Three
September 12, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
If both requests are approved, the proposed C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning
district would conform to the SC (Service Commercial) General Plan Designation.
2. The uses which would be allowed on the subject property by approving the
rezoning will be compatible with the surrounding land uses and zoning
districts.
The subject site is surrounded by all residential uses. Approval of the requested
rezoning would allow for more intense commercial uses which would not be
compatible with the characteristics of the existing neighborhood.
3. Growth and development factors in the community indicate the need for or
appropriateness of the rezoning.
The subject area is all residential. There are other suitable locations for the type
of development that would be allowed in the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning
district.
The subject site can be accessed from Decatur Boulevard, a 100-foot wide
primary arterial and Ricky Road, a 60-foot wide minor street. Decatur Boulevard
is adequate in size to meet the requirements of the proposed zoning district.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request to allow the conversion of a 2,784 square-foot single family detached
residence to a Contractors Plant, Shop and Storage Yard at 4515 Balsam Street.
ISSUES
A Variance is requested to allow no sidewalk, curb, and gutter where existing half
street improvements including sidewalk, curb, and gutter exist directly to the south
and east of the subject site. Staff does not support this request.
A second Variance is requested to allow a 14-foot side yard setback where 50 feet is
required when adjacent to residentially zoned property and to allow outdoor storage
within the required setback areas. Staff does not support this request.
A Waiver is requested for no landscape buffer along all four edges of the subject
property to accommodate outdoor storage. Staff does not support this request.
A second Waiver is requested to allow an eight-foot tall chain link fence with
screening material along a portion of the north property line where a solid eight-foot
tall screen wall is required. Staff does not support this request.
The existing individual septic disposal system (ISDS) has been paved and used for
parking in violation of the ISDS permit.
ANALYSIS
The subject site is a single family detached dwelling constructed in 1972. In 2008, the
subject site was rezoned from R-E (Residence Estates) to M (Industrial) with 4505
Balsam Street in order to construct a 51,250 square-foot warehouse center with 18,100
square feet of office. In 2013 the subject site was granted land use entitlements to
convert the single family detached dwelling into a Contractors Plant, Shop and Storage
Yard, but the land use entitlements expired in 2015 prior to the issuance of a building
permit as required by Title 19.16.100(J)(2) which states, A Site Development Plan is
exercised upon the issuance of a building permit for the principal structure on the site
or, in the case of a residential subdivision, upon the recordation of a final subdivision
map.
The existing structure is currently being used as a Contractors Plant, Shop and Storage
Yard, as the subject site was licensed in 2007 for a Contractor (C25-03647) use and
has remained active since the date of issuance.

Staff Report Page Two
September 12, 2017 - Planning Commission
In order to legally convert the detached single family residence into a commercial use, a
Variance to allow a 14-foot side setback on the north side of the subject site is required,
as a minimum 50-foot setback is required when adjacent to residentially zoned property.
The adjacent property to the north is currently zoned R-E (Residence Estates) within
Clark County. In addition, the applicant is currently storing items within the required
setback areas. A Variance is also requested to allow the continuance of outdoor storage
within the required setback areas in violation of Title 19.08.040(E)(4)(e)(i) which states,
Outdoor Storage shall not be permitted within required setback areas, landscape buffer
yards or other required landscape areas, or parking spaces required to meet minimum
parking standards.
A second Variance has been requested to allow no sidewalk, curb, and gutter (half-
street improvements) where such is required. Directly south and east of the subject site
half street improvements including sidewalk, curb and gutter have been installed as
required by Title 19.04. Title 19.04 set forth requirements for achieving a connected
transportation system as outlined in the Citys General Plan to provide a safe and
accessible environment for a variety of transportation modes and users. When a site is
developed in the City of Las Vegas, it is customary to require the installation of all
incomplete or damaged improvements surrounding the site so they match what exists in
the surrounding area. Varying from these standards does not provide a safe and
accessible environment for a variety of transportation modes and users. Currently, the
subject site has a paved front yard that offers no delineation between the subject site
and the public right-of-way. The lack of striped parking, a curb cut, and sidewalk creates
confusion for vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
This subject parcel is currently not served by the Las Vegas Valley Water District
(LVVWD), but is currently served by a well that is permitted for residential use only.
According to LVVWD, the applicant will be required to satisfy the Division of Water
Resources and secure water rights for commercial use prior to issuing a building permit.
Unless the customer has non-revocable water rights, the State may also require them to
abandon the well and connect to the public water system since it is less than 100 feet
from the parcel.

This site is currently connected to an individual septic disposal system (ISDS), which was
constructed for a single family dwelling and has since been paved over and continuously
driven and parked upon by both passenger and commercial vehicles of varying weights.
The applicant has requested to not connect to the public sewer system and continue to
use the existing individual septic disposal system (ISDS). In conversations with the
Southern Nevada Health District Environmental Health Division, once an ISDS has been
paved over and driven on, it has likely failed and should not be used any further. Also, the
planned development shows the area over the ISDS to continue to be covered with
pavement; this will also not allow the existing septic system to function properly. The
Southern Nevada Health District Environmental Health Division has indicated to City staff
that a permit to continue to use the individual septic disposal system (ISDS) will not be
granted. The applicant will be required by the Public Works Department to connect to the
public sewer that is planned in the Balsam Street right-of-way.
The subject site is on the west side of an existing cul-de-sac that has seen recent
commercial development on the east side of the cul-de-sac. Staff does not support the
Variance request to not require half-street improvements when the remaining
commercial properties adjacent to this cul-de-sac have provided the necessary half-
street improvements including curb, sidewalk, and gutter. Additionally, three residential
homes exist north of the subject site on the west side of Balsam Street. Staff does not
support the requested Waivers to not provide landscape buffers, or appropriate
screening to the north, as the lack of these elements will legalize a commercial property
that is not compatible or harmonious with the existing residential uses in the immediate
area. Staff is recommending denial of all applications.

FINDINGS (SDR-70261)
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:
Existing commercial developments to the south and the east of the subject site
have installed landscape buffers and half street improvements, including curb,
gutter, and sidewalk. The applicant is requesting a Variance to not provide the
required half-street improvements, and Waivers to allow no landscape buffers,
making it not compatible with the existing residential and commercial development
in the area.
2. The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan, this Title,
the Design Standards Manual, the Landscape, Wall and Buffer Standards,
and other duly-adopted city plans, policies and standards;
The lack of curb, gutter, and sidewalk negatively impacts neighborhood traffic as
there is no defined entrance and exit to the subject site. In addition, the lack of
sidewalk creates a conflict between pedestrians and vehicles as there is no
defined right-of-way.
4. Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the
City;

Staff Report Page Six
September 12, 2017 - Planning Commission
The subject site is a single family residential structure being used for commercial
purposes. The entire front, side, and a portion of the rear yards have been paved,
allowing for no landscape buffer and trees. While the architectural features of the
single family home is not obnoxious or unsightly, the site itself does not create an
orderly or aesthetically pleasing environment, since there are no landscape buffer
areas and only very minimal planters. With the entire front and side yard being
paved, and no curb, gutter, or sidewalk, there is no delineation between private
property and the public right-of-way, creating confusion for all modes of traffic,
including vehicular and pedestrian. This is not harmonious or compatible with the
existing commercial development in the area that has provided the required curb,
gutter, and sidewalk.
6. Appropriate measures are taken to secure and protect the public health,
safety and general welfare.
The conversion of the subject single family residence to a commercial use will
require building permits and regular inspections during the conversion process,
thus protecting the publics health, safety, and general welfare.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request to allow the conversion of a 2,092 square-foot single family detached
residence to a Contractors Plant, Shop and Storage Yard at 4505 Balsam Street.
ISSUES
A Variance is requested to allow no sidewalk, curb, and gutter where existing half
street improvements including sidewalk, curb, and gutter exist directly to the south
and east of the subject site. Staff does not support this request.
A second Variance is requested to allow outdoor storage within the required setback
areas. Staff does not support this request.
A Waiver is requested for no landscape buffers along the east, west, and south
property lines; and a portion of the north property line to accommodate outdoor
storage. Staff does not support this request.
An Exception is requested to allow no landscape islands with trees at the end of
each row of parking spaces where such is required; and to allow no trees within the
existing portion of the landscape buffer along the north property line. Staff does not
support either request.
The existing individual septic disposal system (ISDS) has been paved and used for
parking in violation of the ISDS permit.
ANALYSIS
The subject site is a single family detached dwelling constructed in 1966. In 2008, the
subject site was rezoned from R-E (Residence Estates) to M (Industrial) with 4515
Balsam Street in order to construct a 51,250 square-foot warehouse center with 18,100
square feet of office. In 2013 the subject site was granted land use entitlements to
convert the single family detached dwelling into a Contractors Plant, Shop and Storage
Yard, but the land use entitlements expired in 2015 prior to the issuance of a building
permit as required by Title 19.16.100(J)(2) which states, A Site Development Plan is
exercised upon the issuance of a building permit for the principal structure on the site
or, in the case of a residential subdivision, upon the recordation of a final subdivision
map.
The existing structure is currently being used as a Contractors Plant, Shop and Storage
Yard, as the subject site was licensed in 2008 for a Contractor (C25-01707) use and
has remained active since the date of issuance.

Currently, the applicant is storing items within the required setback areas in violation of
Title 19.08.040(E)(4)(e)(i) which states, Outdoor Storage shall not be permitted within
required setback areas, landscape buffer yards or other required landscape areas, or
parking spaces required to meet minimum parking standards. The applicant is
requesting a Variance to allow the outdoor storage to remain within the setback areas.
A second Variance has been requested to allow no sidewalk, curb, and gutter (half-
street improvements) where such is required. Directly south, and adjacent to the subject
site on the east, half street improvements including sidewalk, curb and gutter have been
installed as required by Title 19.04. Title 19.04 set forth requirements for achieving a
connected transportation system as outlined in the Citys General Plan to provide a safe
and accessible environment for a variety of transportation modes and users. When a
site is developed in the City of Las Vegas, it is customary to require the installation of all
incomplete or damaged improvements surrounding the site so they match what exists in
the surrounding area. Varying from these standards does not provide a safe and
accessible environment for a variety of transportation modes and users. Currently, the
subject site has a paved front yard that offers no delineation between the subject site
and the public right-of-way. The lack of a curb cut, and sidewalk creates confusion for
vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
The applicant has also requested a Waiver to allow no landscape buffers along the
south, east, west, and a portion of the north property line in order to accommodate
outdoor storage in those areas. Landscape buffers are necessary to provide noise and
visual screening for neighboring properties. Due to the fact that property north of the
subject site is residential, landscape buffers are necessary for the subject site and staff
does not support this request.
This subject parcel is currently not served by the Las Vegas Valley Water District
(LVVWD), but is currently served by a well that is permitted for residential use only.
According to LVVWD, the applicant will be required to satisfy the Division of Water
Resources and secure water rights for commercial use prior to issuing a building permit.
Unless the customer has non-revocable water rights, the State may also require them to
abandon the well and connect to the public water system since it is less than 100 feet
from the parcel.
This site is currently connected to an individual septic disposal system (ISDS), which
was constructed for a single family dwelling and has since been paved over and
continuously driven and parked upon by both passenger and commercial vehicles of
varying weights. The applicant has requested to not connect to the public sewer system
and continue to use the existing individual septic disposal system (ISDS). In
conversations with the Southern Nevada Health District Environmental Health Division,
once an ISDS has been paved over and driven on, it has likely failed and should not be
used any further. Also, the planned development shows the area over the ISDS to

continue to be covered with pavement; this will also not allow the existing septic system
to function properly. The Southern Nevada Health District Environmental Health Division
has indicated to City staff that a permit to continue to use the individual septic disposal
system (ISDS) will not be granted. The applicant will be required by the Public Works
Department to connect to the public sewer that is planned in the Balsam Street right-of-
way.
The subject site is on the west side of an existing cul-de-sac that has seen recent
commercial development on the east side of the cul-de-sac. Staff does not support the
Variance request to not require half-street improvements when the remaining
commercial properties adjacent to this cul-de-sac have provided the necessary half-
street improvements including curb, sidewalk, and gutter. Additionally, three residential
homes exist north of the subject site on the west side of Balsam Street. Staff does not
support the requested Waiver to not provide landscape buffers, as the lack of these
elements will legalize a commercial property that is not compatible or harmonious with
the existing residential uses in the immediate area. Staff is recommending denial of all
applications.
FINDINGS (VAR-70276)
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:
NE

residential property to commercial property without the required sidewalk, curb, and
gutter. Constructing the required sidewalk, curb, and gutter would allow conformance to
the Title 19 requirements for commercial development. 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.

Staff Report Page Five
September 12, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
Existing commercial developments to the south and the east of the subject site
have installed landscape buffers and half street improvements, including curb,
gutter, and sidewalk. The applicant is requesting a Variance to not provide the
required half-street improvements, and Waivers to allow no landscape buffers,
making it not compatible with the existing residential and commercial development
in the area.
2. The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan, this Title,
the Design Standards Manual, the Landscape, Wall and Buffer Standards,
and other duly-adopted city plans, policies and standards;
The lack of curb, gutter, and sidewalk negatively impacts neighborhood traffic as
there is no defined entrance and exit to the subject site. In addition, the lack of
sidewalk creates a conflict between pedestrians and vehicles as there is no
defined right-of-way.
4. Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the
City;
The subject site is a single family residential structure being used for commercial
purposes. The entire front, side, and a portion of the rear yards have been paved,
allowing for no landscape buffer and trees. While the architectural features of the
single family home is not obnoxious or unsightly, the site itself does not create an

6. Appropriate measures are taken to secure and protect the public health,
safety and general welfare.
The conversion of the subject single family residence to a commercial use will
require building permits and regular inspections during the conversion process,
thus protecting the publics health, safety, and general welfare.

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

September 12, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The applicant is also proposing a Tentative Map (TMP-70766) for an 18-lot single family
residential subdivision with lot sizes ranging from 7,638 square feet to 9,494 square
feet. The existing General Plan land use designation R (Rural Density Residential) has
an allowable density of 3.59 dwelling units per gross acre, which would translate to a
maximum of 18 units on this 5.2-acre parcel.
The Interlocal Agreement designates this site as within Planning Area B, which states
that During the term of this agreement, the areas identified as Planning Area B must
remain residential and maintain a minimum buildable lot size of 10,000 square feet and
the City must not amend its land use plan, rezone such properties or approve special or
conditional use permits to allow industrial or commercial uses or residential lots with a
buildable area of less than 10,000 square feet within the areas identified as Planning
Area B. The proposed lot sizes of the Tentative Map (TMP-70766) range from 7,638
square feet to 9,494 square feet, which is in conflict with the requirements of the
Interlocal Agreement.
The applicant has requested a Waiver (WVR-70763) of Title 19.02.140 to allow offsets
for the proposed north/south street that are below the 220-foot minimum required. The
southern offset would be 214 feet and the northern offset would be 208 feet. The
applicant has also requested a Vacation (VAC-70765) to Vacate U.S. Government
Patent Easements on the property. This Vacation request should be sent to all the
utilities, as no right-of-way is proposed to be vacated, and thus no franchise rights are
involved. It is not necessary to wait for responses from any of the public utilities or other
parties interested in preserving a right in this patent easement. Since only City interests
are involved; any utility companys interests will need to be addressed with each
respective utility company and will not be affected by the City relinquishing its interest.
The submitted east/west cross sections depict maximum natural grade greater than 2%
across this site. Per the Tables in Subdivision Code 19.06.050 a development with
natural slope greater than 2%, is allowed a maximum 6-foot retaining wall. A 6-foot
maximum retaining is shown on the east and west property lines.
The submitted north/south cross section depicts maximum natural grade less than 2%
across this site. Per the Tables in Subdivision Code 19.06.050 a development with
natural slope less than 2%, is allowed a maximum 4-foot retaining wall. A 2-foot
maximum retaining wall is shown on the north property line and no retaining wall is
shown on the south property line.
Clark County School District has indicated that the proposed development will add 3
elementary school students, 1 middle school student and 2 high school students. The
schools in the area, Darnell Elementary School and Centennial High School, are over
capacity for the 2016-17 school year. Darnell Elementary School is 128.86% and
Centennial High School is 125.94% of program capacity.

Staff Report Page Three
September 12, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The Department of Public Works has provided the Average Daily Traffic (ADT) for the
proposed 18-lot single family residential subdivision and approximately 171 trips per day
on Hualapai Way, Dorrell Lane, and Deer Springs Way are anticipated. Currently,
Hualapai Way is at about 79 percent of capacity and Deer Springs Way is at about 17
percent of capacity. With this project, Hualapai Way is expected to remain at about 79
percent and Deer Springs Way at about 18 percent. Counts are not available for Dorrell
Lane in this area, but it is believed to be under capacity.
In summary, staff supports the requested Vacation as it is appropriate for the area.
However, staff finds the Rezoning, Waiver and Tentative Map to be in direct conflict with
the requirements of the Interlocal Agreement and recommends denial of these
applications.
FINDINGS (ZON-70762)
The sites general plan designation is R (Rural Density Residential) which allows
for the proposed R-1 (Single Family Residential) zoning district.
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 proposed R-1 (Single Family Residential) zoning district allows single family
residential development at a density that would be compatible with the
surrounding neighborhood, so long as the lots are a minimum of 10,000 square
feet in area in conformance with the Interlocal Agreement.
3. Growth and development factors in the community indicate the need for or
appropriateness of the rezoning.

Way at about 18 percent. Counts are not available for Dorrell Lane in this area,
but it is believed to be under capacity.
FINDINGS (WVR-70763)
No substantial evidence has been presented to warrant the requested Waivers of Title
19.02.140 to allow street offsets of 2087 and 214 feet where 220 feet is required.
Therefore, staff recommends denial of this request. If approved, staff has included
recommended conditions of approval.

Proposed Use
This project will add approximately 171 trips per day on Hualapai Wy., Dorell Ln. and Deer Springs Wy. Currently,
Hualapai is at about 79 percent of capacity and Deer Springs is at about 17 percent of capacity. With this project, Hualapai
is expected to remain at about 79 percent of capacity and Deer Springs to be at about 18 percent of capacity. Counts are
not available for Dorell in this area, but it is believed to be under capacity.
Based on Peak Hour use, this development will add into the area roughly 18 additional cars, or about one every three
minutes.
Note that this report assumes all traffic from this development uses all named streets.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a Variance to allow a three-foot side yard setback and an eight-foot
rear yard setback for a 945 square-foot Accessory Structure that consists of a 567
square-foot garage and a 378 square-foot casita at 4100 Nancy Margarite Lane.
ISSUES
A Variance is required to allow a three-foot side yard and eight-foot rear yard
setback where 10 feet is required for a proposed Accessory Structure.
This application has been amended to reflect an eight-foot rear yard setback
request where previously a three-foot rear yard setback was requested.
PROJECT UPDATE
The southeast corner of the rear yard currently contains a decorative indent of
the rear perimeter wall that was originally labeled as the property line in error. As
demonstrated by the parcel map, the correct rear property line is the back of
sidewalk (adjacent to Thom Boulevard) with the landscape area on the east side
of the applicants rear wall being part of the applicants rear yard. When
measuring from the property line (back of sidewalk) to the proposed structure,
the proposed rear setback is eight feet.

The proposed structure is a 16-foot tall, single story structure designed to match the
existing primary dwelling unit with stucco walls painted to match and a tile roof.

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

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

Once the subject site is rezoned, the property does not have to be developed in the
manner proposed; however, a Site Development Plan Review would be required. A new
application could possibly include three separate commercial developments. In
addition, all land uses permitted as of right in the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning
district would be allowed through the issuance of a business license. Additionally, all
land uses that are Conditional in the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district would be
allowed to operate once the conditions set forth by Title 19.12 were met without review
through the public hearing process. The following Conditional Uses would be able to
meet the conditions set forth by Title 19.12:
Auto Broker
Auto Parts Store with Accessory Installation
Auto Smog Check
Automobile Repossession Agency
Building Maintenance Service and Sales
Check Cashing Services, Limited
Drive Through
Hospital
Light Assembly & Fabrication (Wholesale Printing, Stained Glass Assembly, etc.)
Mixed-Use Development (Subject to Residential Adjacency Standards)
Multi-Family Residential (as part of a Mixed-Use development)
Open Air Vending
Recreational Vehicle and Boat Storage
Secondhand Dealer (Limited to 5,000 square feet)
Social Service Provider
Teen Dance Center
Thrift Shop
There are Permitted and Conditional land uses associated with the C-1 (Limited
Commercial) zoning district are too intense and inappropriate for direct adjacency to
large-lot homes that are zoned R-E (Residence Estates) within Clark County.

September 12, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
Due to this direct adjacency of the subject sites to property under the jurisdiction of
Clark County, staff reached out to Clark Countys Comprehensive Planning Department
and received the following feedback from management:
Thanks for the opportunity to review the proposed project. The County opposes this
request as it is in conflict with the Citys proposed Rainbow Boulevard North Corridor
Plan and its effort to maintain the low density residential character of Rainbow
Boulevard north of Ann Road. Additional commercial in this corridor is not appropriate
and will negatively affect residents in this area.
Additionally, on December 21, 2016 an Interlocal agreement between the City of Las
Vegas and Clark County was entered into to establish a joint position on corporate
boundaries, planning and public facilities/services provision. Section Two (2) of this
document for Joint Land Use Planning identifies areas to remain residential and their
allowed densities. The existing residential homes directly north and east of the subject
sites are within Planning Area A1 of this interlocal agreement ,which states, During the
term of this Agreement, the areas identified as Planning Area A1 and A2 must remain
residential and designated at a density of no greater than 2.0 Units per Gross Acre on
the Parties respective comprehensive plans. The Parties agree that they shall not
accept any General Plan Amendments (GPA) nor amend their respective
comprehensive plans, rezone such properties or approve special or conditional use
permits to allow industrial or commercial uses or residential densities above 2.0 Units
per Gross Acre and each lot will maintain a minimum buildable net lot area of at least
18,000 square feet with a goal of at least 18,500 square feet. As a result of this
agreement, the surrounding properties to the north and east of the subject sites will
remain large-lot residential homes with a maximum density of two units per acre.
Although the subject site is not included in the agreement, the proposed intensity
allowed by the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district is not compatible with the
existing surrounding rural neighborhoods.
On February 15, 2017 the City Council adopted the Rainbow Boulevard North Corridor
Plan via Resolution 7-2017. This corridor plan includes the 1.6 mile section of Rainbow
Boulevard located between Rancho Drive to the south and the CC-215 terminus to the
north, and all adjacent properties along the right-of-way. The subject sites are included
in this plan. The plan seeks to preserve the essence of the small amounts of remaining
rural character along the Rainbow Boulevard North Corridor by emphasizing uses that
serve the corridor community and encouraging development patterns that align with the
single family neighborhoods. It is important to note that this plan does not exclude
commercial or multi-family residential uses along the corridor; rather it seeks to
encourage those uses to contribute to the needs of the neighborhoods and aesthetically
blend in with the community. The corridor was divided into three Character Areas, in
response to each areas unique physical form of the built environment, density, and land
use. The three Character Areas include Tropical-Rainbow, Ann-Rainbow, and Rancho-
Rainbow.

The subject sites are located within the Ann-Rainbow Character Area. This area
accounts for the majority of the land share of the corridor (44%), with a majority of this
land zoned residential. This Character Area also includes the intersection of Ann Road
and Rainbow Boulevard. Three of the 17 commercially zoned parcels within the corridor
plan are three corners of this intersection. The subject sites are adjacent to one of the
three commercially zoned corners, the northeast corner of Ann Road and Rainbow
Boulevard. This corner is zoned C-1 (Limited Commercial). The applicant is requesting
to further encroach into the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district into the existing
rural neighborhood to the north.
This Site Development Guidelines of the Rainbow North Corridor Plan specifically
excludes the subject sites since they are north of the Ann and Rainbow intersection.
The preferred development outlined by the Rainbow North Corridor Plan for this section
of the Character Area is residential and include:
Duplexes that retain the bulk and scale of the surrounding neighborhood
developments;
Townhouses that are oriented to Rainbow Boulevard.
The proposed landscape plan did not specify the spacing of the proposed trees, or the
specific placement of the proposed shrubs. Due to this, staff was unable to confirm the
proposed landscape plan met the minimum landscaping requirements set forth by Title
19.08. To ensure compliance, staff has added a Condition of Approval requiring one 24-
inch box tree to be planted every 20 feet on-center, with four, five-gallon shrubs for each
required tree.
Due to the existence of this quasi-municipal well at the rear of 5686 North Rainbow
Boulevard, an access easement is necessary to provide access to the well for
maintenance and service. This access easement prevents the proposed development
from providing the required eight-foot landscape buffer adjacent to the property line as

September 12, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The subject parcels are not currently served by LVVWD (Las Vegas Valley Water
District), as the subject parcels have an existing revocable permit well that is permitted
for domestic use only. Civil and plumbing plans will need to be submitted to LVVWD for
abandoning the well and the establishment of domestic and fire service from LVVWD.
Proof of parcel lot consolidation, or a commercial subdivision, is required prior to civil
plan approval by LVVWD if this application is approved.
The Department of Public Works has waived the Complete Streets requirement for the
proposed development if approved. The adjacent northeast corner of Ann Road and
Rainbow Boulevard is currently entitled for commercial development with approved half
street improvement requirements. If approved, the proposed commercial development
will be required to match the previously approved Site Development Plan Review (SDR-
58147) for half street improvements to the south for sidewalk and roadway consistency.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff finds the proposed General Plan Amendment, Rezoning, and Site Development
Plan Review to be incompatible with the existing residential development that surrounds
the subject sites. Staff does not support the continuing encroachment of commercial
development into a predominantly residential area, especially when the proposed
commercial development is directly adjacent to property zoned R-E (Rural Estates
Residential) within an RNP (Rural Neighborhood Preservation) area in Clark County
Nevada. In addition, the subject sites are within the North Rainbow Corridor Plan which
specifically recommends residential type uses such as townhomes and duplexes for the
subject sites if developed. For these reasons, staff is recommending denial of these
requests.
FINDINGS (GPA-67883)
Section 19.16.030(I) of the Las Vegas Zoning Code requires that the following
conditions be met in order to justify a General Plan Amendment:

The density and intensity of the land uses permitted by the proposed SC (Service
Commercial) General Plan designation and associated zoning districts are not
compatible with the existing single family detached homes that are directly
adjacent to the north and east of the subject site. These existing home sites are
on an average over three-quarters of an acre each and are rural in nature.
Intense commercial development is not an appropriate buffer for properties
designated RNP (Rural Neighborhood Preservation) in Clark County.
The proposed General Plan Amendment does not comply with the North
Rainbow Corridor Plan, which specifically recommends residential type
development such as duplexes and townhomes for property adjacent to
Rainbow Boulevard, north of Ann Road.

FINDINGS (ZON-67884)
If approved, the proposed C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district would conform
to the proposed General Plan designation of SC (Service Commercial).
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 land uses permitted by the proposed C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district
include Banquet Facilities and Clinics. These uses are too intense for the area
north of Ann Road, and are not compatible for residential adjacency.
3. Growth and development factors in the community indicate the need for or
appropriateness of the rezoning.

FINDINGS (SDR-68234)
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:
2. The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan, this Title,
the Design Standards Manual, the Landscape, Wall and Buffer Standards,
and other duly-adopted city plans, policies and standards;
If the General Plan Amendment and rezoning requests are approved, the
proposed development would be consistent with the minimum development
standards for the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district, but would be in direct
contradiction to the Rainbow North Corridor Plan which recommends residential
development such as duplexes and townhomes, not commercial development
and land uses.

Rainbow Boulevard will be 100 feet in width, only to immediately drop back down
to 50 feet in width since the remaining parcels on the block directly north of the
subject sites are still rural single family homes with no street improvements. This
will create a roadway that will negatively impact the predominantly residential
neighborhood traffic that exists north of Ann Road.
4. Building and landscape materials are appropriate for the area and for the
City;
The proposed building would have a stucco finish with an aluminum storefront and
ceramic tile accents to add the appearance of wood. The landscape materials
proposed include the Thornless Chilean Mesquite tree, Red Yucca shrubs, and
New Gold Lantana for accent plants. All of these materials are appropriate for the
area, and a desert climate.
The proposed building elevations are not obnoxious or unsightly, but are not
compatible with the existing residential development in the area. The 28,800
square-foot big box style building would not match the established residential
scale that exists to the immediate north and east of the subject sites. The
proposed commercial development would not create an orderly environment as
developing a commercial building and introducing intense land uses directly
adjacent to rural residential homes does not create an orderly or harmonious
environment for an existing residential neighborhood.
6. Appropriate measures are taken to secure and protect the public health,
safety and general welfare.

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

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a Tentative Map for a proposed 18-lot single-family residential
subdivision on a 9.94 acres, located on the south side of Washburn Road,
approximately 320 feet west of Tee Pee Lane, within an R-E (Residence Estates)
zoning district.
ISSUES
ANALYSIS
The subject site is 9.94 acres and is undeveloped with existing residential development
to the north, south, east and west. The existing General Plan land use designation, RNP
(Rural Neighborhood Preservation), has an allowable density of 2.00 dwelling units per
gross acre which is compatible with the proposed 18 dwellings. Also, the minimum
connectivity score of 1.30 (links/nodes) outlined within Title 19.04.040 do not apply to
developments within the R-E (Residence Estates) zoning district. All of the proposed
lots meet the minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet and the minimum lot width of 100
feet. The subject site is located within Planning Area A1/A2 of the Interlocal Agreement.

September 12, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The applicant has requested a Waiver (WVR-71294) of Title 19.02.240 and 19.02.140.A
to allow no streetlights where such are required and to allow an intersection offset of
200 feet where 220 feet is required from the existing Park Street alignment located to
the south of the subject site. Additionally, a Waiver (WVR-71295) of Title 19.04.070
private street requirements has been request to allow private streets to be developed to
non-public street standards. The applicant has proposed to install 37-foot wide private
streets with no curb and sidewalk where a 47-foot wide private street with a five-foot
sidewalk is the minimum required. Also, a Variance (VAR-71296) of Title 19.04.100 has
been requested to allow a deviation from Complete Street standards; the applicant has
proposed to install no amenity zones and sidewalks along Washburn Road, an 80-foot
Major Collector Street and Rosada Way, a 60-foot Minor Collector Street. Lastly, the
applicant has requested Variances (VAR-71286, VAR-71286, VAR-71287, VAR-71288,
VAR-71289, VAR-71290, VAR-71291, VAR-71292 and VAR-71293) of Title 19.06.060
to allow a front yard setback variance for eight of the proposed lots. The applicant has
proposed 38-foot front yard setbacks where 50 feet is required in the R-E (Residence
Estates) zoning district for Lots 1-6, 13 and 14.
The submitted east/west cross sections depict maximum natural grade greater than 2%
across this site. Per the Tables in Title 19.06.050 a development with natural slope
greater than 2%, is allowed a maximum six-foot retaining wall. Retaining walls of
unknown height are shown along the east and west property lines. The submitted
north/south cross section depicts maximum natural grade less than 2% across this site.
Per the Tables in Title 19.06.050 a development with natural slope less than 2%, is
allowed a maximum four-foot retaining wall. No retaining walls are shown.
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 Waivers and
Variance. As such, the hardship is self-imposed and therefore, staff recommends denial of
all associated applications with this project.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting a Variance to allow a 10-foot tall block wall and chain link
fence with razor wire along the west property line; an 11-foot block wall and chain link
fence with razor wire along the north property line; an 11-foot tall maximum overall
height chain link fence with razor wire along a portion of the east property line; and an
existing shade structure within the required side yard setback and a Variance to allow
the existing Outdoor Storage within the setback area on a property located at 47 30th
Street.
ISSUES
Variances are required to allow a 10-foot tall block wall and chain link fence with
razor wire where eight feet is the maximum height allowed along the west property
line, an 11-foot tall perimeter block wall and chain link fence with razor wire where
eight feet is the maximum height allowed along the north property line, and to allow
an 11-foot tall perimeter chain link fence with razor wire where five feet is the
maximum height is allowed along a portion of the east property line. Staff does not
support this request.
A Variance is required to allow an existing shade structure with a two-foot side yard
setback, where 10 feet is required with a razor wire along the south elevation. Staff
does not support this request.
A Variance is required to allow razor wire on interior screen wall. Staff does not
support this request.
A Variance is required to allow the Outdoor Storage within the required setback
where it is not allowed. Staff does not support this request.
This application is a result of a Code Enforcement case (#173879) for the existing
razor wire above the perimeter walls.

19.08 development standards.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a Special Use Permit for a proposed 14-foot by 48-foot double
sided LED Off-Premise Sign and a Variance to allow a height of 55 feet where 40 feet is
the maximum allowed on property located at the northwest corner of Sahara Avenue
and Paradise Road.
ISSUES
ANALYSIS
The subject property currently contains an existing Off-Premise Sign, which was
previously approved under Special Use Permit (SUP-1274) by the City Council on
January 22, 2003.
The existing Off-Premise Sign on the property will be relocated southeast of its current
location, which requires a new Special Use Permit application. The applicant is
proposing a 672 square-foot, 14-foot by 48-foot; double sided Off-Premise Sign with a
digital display unit (LED) which will be oriented toward east and west bound traffic along
Sahara Avenue. It will be located in a parking stall along Sahara Avenue, and is set
back 24 feet from the property line. This will not reduce the amount of onsite parking
spaces. As the stall will be replaced when current sign is removed, since the supporting
post is located in a parking space which will be utilized once the sign is relocated.
The proposed Off-Premise Sign is designed to Title 19 code requirements, with the
exception of overall height. The applicant is requesting a Variance (VAR-71349) to
allow the sign to be 55 feet tall where the maximum height allowed is 40 feet. The
proposed Off-Premise Sign will be located 60 feet from the right-of-way line of Sahara

Avenue and will not have its display surface obscured from view from the travel lanes of
the Sahara Avenue. Therefore, the request for a Variance to increase the height of 55
feet is not appropriate for this location. The applicant has not provided evidence of a
unique or extraordinary circumstance and has created a self-imposed hardship by
proposing an Off-Premise Sign above the 40-foot height limit; therefore, staff
recommends denial. If this Variance is denied, the proposed Off-Premise Sign shall
conform to Title 19 maximum height requirement of 40 feet.
The proposed Off-Premise Sign use can be operated in a manner that is and
compatible with the surrounding commercial land uses subject to the conditions
recommended as part of this application. The subject site is a shopping center and the
proposed Off-Premise Sign is suitable in the area.
Prior to the issuance of a building permit for the proposed Off-Premise Sign, the existing
Off-Premise Sign shall be removed with the issuance of a demolition permit. A
condition of approval has been added to avoid the distance separation issue between
Off-Premise Signs on the site.
In summary, staff supports the request for the Special Use Permit for the proposed Off-
Premise Sign use. However, staff recommends denial for the request for the Variance
to allow a 55-foot tall height limit.
FINDINGS (VAR-71349)
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

FINDINGS (SUP-71350)
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:
2. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use
proposed.
The proposed Off-Premise Sign use will be located within the existing shopping
center.
Site access is provided from Sahara Avenue and Paradise Road, both are 100-
foot Primary Arterial as classified by the Master Plan of Streets and Highways.

Premise Sign 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 Off-Premise Sign use will be subject to building permit review and inspections
for code compliance to ensure that it will not compromise the public health, safety
and welfare.
5. The use meets all of the applicable conditions per Title 19.12.
The proposed Off-Premise Sign does not meet all of the applicable conditions per
Title 19.12 requirements as evidenced by the Variance application to exceed the
maximum height.

safety and general welfare.
The Off-Premise Sign use will be subject to periodic review of the sign as a
condition of approval.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
ISSUES
ANALYSIS
The applicant has proposed to construct a 944 square-foot Accessory Structure (Class
II) [Garage] within the rear yard. The subject site is zoned R-PD2 (Residential Planned
Development 2 Units per Acre), which requires a 10-foot side yard setback for
accessory structures. Pursuant to Title 19.18.020, in the Words and Terms Defined, a
Rear Lot Line is defined as The property line opposite and most distant from the front
property line. In the case of a triangular or otherwise irregularly shaped lot, a line 10
feet in length entirely within the lot, parallel to and at a maximum distance from the front
property line. The subject property is an irregularly shaped lot; therefore, the
southwest corner of the lot would be the rear lot line. The side yards consist of the west
and north property lines. The proposed garage location is in the northwest corner of the
property and does not meet the minimum side yard setback requirement of 10 feet.
The proposed structure is a 14-foot tall, single story structure measured at the mid-point
of the gabled roof. The proposed structure is designed to match the existing primary
dwelling with stucco walls painted to match and a tile roof.
The applicant has created a self-imposed hardship by proposing a structure within the
required side yard setback area which resulted in the Variance application. Staff
recommends denial of this request. If this request is approved, it is subject to
conditions.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing to construct a patio cover in the rear yard of the property at
10613 Axis Mountain Court.
ISSUES
A building permit (#343141) for a patio cover was issued on 05/24/17. The plans
that were approved depicted a 10-foot rear setback in conformance with the
requirements of Cliffs Edge (Providence).
ANALYSIS
The subject site is located within the Cliffs Edge (Providence) master plan area and is
zoned PD (Planned Development). The Cliffs Edge master plan includes setback
requirements for patio covers and establishes that setback at 10 feet.
The applicant was issued a building permit (#343141) for a patio cover that met the 10-
foot rear setback requirement. The applicant is now seeking to allow a six-foot rear
setback as measured from the support post to the rear property line.
Staff finds that the applicant has provided no evidence of a unique or extraordinary
circumstance and that there is an absence of hardships imposed by the sites physical
characteristics. Therefore, staff recommends denial.
FINDINGS (VAR-71272)
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

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a Variance to allow the reduction of the corner side setback from 15
feet to two feet, and to reduce the rear yard setback from 15 feet to seven feet at 1608
Concordia Place.
ISSUES
ANALYSIS
The applicant is proposing an addition to an existing single family residence within the R-1
(Single Family Residential) zoning district. This 982 square-foot addition will enlarge the
existing garage located in the southwest corner of the residence. In order to accommodate
this expansion, the applicant is requesting a Variance to reduce the rear yard setback from
15 feet to seven feet, and the corner side setback from 15 feet to two feet.
Staff finds the proposed garage addition is too intense for the subject site and will result in
the majority of the southwestern corner of the property being a solid structure with only a
narrow 2.5-foot to 3.75-foot separation between the structure wall and the southern
property line. The applicant has created a self-imposed hardship by proposing to overbuild
this residential lot, and staff is recommending denial of this Variance request.

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

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting a Variance to allow a one-foot side yard setback, a three-
foot distance separation between the dwelling and garage, and to allow in the front
setback area for an existing Accessory Structure (Class II) [Garage] on a single-family
residential property located at 2500 Palomino Lane.
ISSUES
Pursuant to Title 19.08.040 of the Archived Zoning Codes effective on May 1, 2011,
the side yard setback requirement for an accessory structure is three feet. The
requested Variance is to allow a one-foot side yard setback. Staff does not support
this request.
Pursuant to Title 19.08.040 of the Archived Zoning Codes, an accessory structure is
not allowed to be located within the front yard setback. The requested Variance is to
allow the accessory structure to be located in front of the primary dwelling. Staff
does not support this request.
Pursuant to Title 19.08.040 of the Archived Zoning Codes, the accessory structure
must be separated a minimum distance of six feet from the main dwelling. The
requested Variance is to allow a three-foot distance separation. Staff does not
support this request.
This request is the result of an open Code Enforcement case (#180188) for an
Accessory Structure (Class II) [Carport] constructed without a building permit.
ANALYSIS
The subject property is located in the R-A (Ranch Acres) zoning district, is subject to the
requirements of Title 19.08.040 of the Archived Zoning Codes, and is a 0.69 acres, or
30,056 square feet in size. The subject property is considered a legal non-conforming
lot and is located within the Airport Overlay and Rural Preservation Overlay Districts.
The applicant is requesting a Variance to allow the existing Accessory Structure (Class
II) [Garage] to remain within the front yard area, a one-foot side yard setback and a
three-foot distance separation from the main dwelling. The accessory structures eaves
project into the side yard setback within one-foot of the east property line. The eaves
between the primary dwelling and accessory structure are separated by three feet. The
existing accessory structures placement is 48 feet from the front property line, while the
dwelling is 50 feet.

permitted structural addition on the subject site within the front yard setback area.
The existing front porch/carport structure has an eight-foot front yard setback where
20 feet is required.
ANALYSIS
The subject site is located in an R-1 (Single Family Residential) zoning district. Per Title
19.06.070 this residential development has a minimum 20-foot front yard building
setback.
The subject property currently has an incomplete 650 square-foot one-story front
porch/carport addition on the southern perimeter of the principal dwelling which is
currently under construction. This resulted in a Code Enforcement case (#177847)
being opened on the subject property for non-permitted structural addition within the
front yard setback area.
During a routine site inspection conducted by staff it was noted that an existing front
yard porch/carport addition is currently attached to the eastern perimeter wall creating a
zero-foot side yard setback. Also, there is a metal storage structure attached to the
home in the rear yard, adjacent to the eastern perimeter wall creating a zero-foot side
yard setback. The applicant has indicated in the submitted justification letter that the
front yard porch/carport addition and metal storage structure located in the rear yard will
be moved to provide the required five-foot side yard setback, a condition has been
added to insure removal of these structures to the required five-foot setback. No unique
or extraordinary evidence has been presented to warrant the requested Variance. As
such, the hardship is self-imposed and therefore, staff recommends denial of this
request.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting a Special Use Permit for a Trailer/RV Camp or Park at the
southeast corner of Ogden Avenue and 10th Street. Up to 22 spaces are proposed for
placement of recreational vehicles. In addition, open space and landscape
improvements are proposed.
ISSUES
A Trailer/RV Camp or Park use is permitted in the C-2 (General Commercial) zoning
district with the approval of a Special Use Permit.
A Waiver of minimum use requirements is required to allow 22 recreational vehicle
sites on 0.69 acres where a maximum density of 20 sites per acre is allowed. Staff
recommends denial of the waiver.
A Waiver of minimum use requirements is required to allow recreational vehicle sites
zero feet from property lines where 10 feet is required from internal property lines
and 15 feet is required from property lines adjoining a public street. Staff
recommends denial of the waiver.
A Waiver of minimum use requirements is required to allow recreational vehicle sites
to be set back three feet from a building where 20 feet is required. Staff
recommends denial of the waiver.
A Waiver of minimum use requirements is required to allow six feet between
recreational vehicles where 10 feet is required. Staff recommends denial of the
waiver.
The applicant has submitted a Petition to Vacate the adjacent alley separating this
property from the retail, residential and trailer rental facility to the east. Access to
adjacent properties would continue if approved.
As water and sewer services may not be allowed to extend across lot or parcel lines,
the two parcels that make up this site may be required to be consolidated prior to the
issuance of a building permit. A condition of approval addresses this issue.
ANALYSIS
SS
SUP-71249, SUP-71250 and VAC-71246 [PRJ-70966]
Staff Report Page Two
September 12, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The site is currently being used to rent out recreational vehicles. The Trailer/RV Camp
or Park use would allow individual spaces to be leased to accommodate such vehicles.
It is the applicants intention to place up to 22 recreational vehicles on the site and to
lease them to tenants on a daily, weekly and/or monthly basis. A similar operation was
approved in November 2016 at the southwest corner of Ogden Avenue and 11th Street
for 16 vehicle spaces, although this operation has not yet begun.
The site was previously used as a Recreational Vehicle Park but now functions as an
Automobile Rental use in which recreational vehicles are rented. A use variance was
active from 1994 until the Recreational Vehicle Park use was removed, prompting this
request for a Special Use Permit. The applicant envisions that trailers will be rented out
as living quarters at various intervals. As Trailer/RV Camp or Park is the more intense
use, the Special Use Permit is required for a Trailer/RV Camp or Park as the primary
use.
The concept proposed by the applicant deviates from the traditional RV Park use. The
applicant has stated an interest in continuing to rent trailers from this site, although the
trailers are to remain on the property. The C-2 (General Commercial) zoning district
allows the rental activity as a conditional use, and all conditional use regulations are
currently met by the proposal. From a land use perspective, a Trailer/RV Camp or Park
is a commercial activity that provides spaces to accommodate recreational vehicles. It
is not a permanent housing type in the way that a mobile home park is described in Title
19 and does not specify period of rental. Therefore, only the Trailer/RV Camp or Park
Special Use Permit is required.
The Trailer/RV Camp or Park use is defined as any lot or tract of land used, or intended
to be used, for the renting of space to accommodate two or more recreational vehicles.
The proposed use meets the definition, as the submitted site plan indicates that up to 22
spaces are proposed to be stationed on 0.69 acres for the purpose of leasing for
accommodation of recreational vehicles.
The Trailer/RV Camp or Park use is permitted in the C-2 (General Commercial) zoning
district with approval of a Special Use Permit. The Minimum Special Use Permit
Requirements for this use include (an asterisk [*] denotes a nonwaivable requirement):
The proposed use does not meet this requirement, as 22 recreational vehicle
sites are proposed on 0.69 acres. The de facto density proposed is 31.9 spaces
per acre. Staff recommends denial of the waiver request.
2. Recreational vehicle parks shall have a minimum frontage of 100 feet at the
building setback line.
SS
SUP-71249, SUP-71250 and VAC-71246 [PRJ-70966]
Staff Report Page Three
September 12, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The proposed use meets this requirement, as the minimum lot frontage along
Ogden Avenue is 150 feet.
The proposed use does not meet this requirement, as the vehicle sites would be
setback zero feet from the west property line, three feet from the south property
line, zero feet from the east property line and eight feet from the north property
line. Staff recommends denial of the waiver request. Staff notes that it is
possible that if the adjacent alley is vacated and the land accrues to this property
that the spaces along the east property line would conform to the setback
requirement.
4. Vehicular spacing:
a. Pull-through recreational vehicle sites shall maintain 15 feet between
vehicle parking on adjoining sites.
b. Back-in recreational vehicle sites shall maintain 10 feet between vehicles,
to include automobiles parking in adjoining sites.
5. Recreational vehicle sites shall be set back 20 feet from any building.
The proposed use does not meet this requirement, as vehicle sites along the
south property line will be set back three feet from the building on the adjacent
property, which is located on the property line.
* 6. A minimum of 10% of the total area of the park shall be reserved for purposes of
open space or recreational facilities. Open space area shall be of sufficient size
and distribution as to be a functional part of the entire park.
The proposed use meets this requirement, as 3,000 square feet (or 10 percent)
of the subject property is designated for recreational facilities and open space
(according to the applicant) to include both active and passive recreation.
However, this area impedes some of the back-in vehicle spaces.
* 7. All access drives shall be a minimum of 20 feet wide and must first be approved
by the City Traffic Engineer.

The proposed use meets this requirement, as the two access driveways are each
32 feet in width and at least one 20-foot drive aisle will allow the flow of onsite
traffic from Ogden Avenue to 10th Street. Final approval will be determined by
the Traffic Engineer.
The site consists of two parcels at the southeast corner of Ogden Avenue and 10th
Street. Ingress is from Odgen Avenue, while egress is to 10th Street. Vehicle spaces
are painted on both sides of the main drive aisle and along the south side of the
property. Each access driveway is gated. Existing landscaping is provided outside of
the property screen walls along Ogden Avenue and 10th Street and on portions of the
south perimeter. The site contains an existing trash enclosure; however, according to
the applicant, dumpsters are wheeled outside of the gates on refuse pick-up days.
The applicant is requesting that the city vacate the alley adjacent to this site to provide
for connectivity to other parcels on this block and prepare for future redevelopment.
The applicant owns other properties on the block and has already consolidated all of the
lots east of the present alley. Each of the owners of property abutting the alley has
consented to the vacation. The Department of Public Works has noted that no access
would be eliminated if this request were granted and has no objection to the request.
The Las Vegas Valley Water District (LVVWD) has provided the following comments
regarding this site:
APN 139-35-211-022 is currently served by LVVWD but the other parcel is not. Site
civil and plumbing plans will need to be submitted to LVVWD for domestic meter sizing
and any required fire flow. To comply with LVVWD Service Rules, parcel lot
consolidation will be required to provide water service to APN 139-34-612-081. SNWA
Regional Connection Fees will be assessed on a per RV spot basis and will be due prior
to LVVWD approval for development.
It is noted that mapping may also be required to allow sewer laterals to legally extend
across the site. Staff has added a condition of approval to address this issue, noting
that the most appropriate action shall be taken.
The proposed open space area would be located within the main drive aisle and contain
portions of decomposed granite. Although it meets the nonwaivable minimum 10
percent requirement, the applicant has not explained what types of activities qualify as
active or passive recreation in this area or how the open space area would not impede
the movement of vehicles in the eastern row of vehicle spaces.

FINDINGS (SUP-71249)
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:
The proposed Trailer/RV Camp or Park use cannot be conducted in a manner that
is harmonious and compatible with the surrounding land uses. The site is too
small to accommodate the number of vehicle sites proposed, and the lack of
setbacks will affect the neighboring properties.
2. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use
proposed.
The site cannot adequately accommodate the number of vehicle spaces provided
without the requested waivers.
Access to the site is provided by Ogden Avenue and 10th Street, both classified
as 80-foot Major Collectors by the Master Plan of Streets and Highways. Both
access points are gated. Ingress is from Ogden Avenue and egress is from 10th
Street. These roadways are adequate in size to accommodate the proposed
Trailer/RV Camp or Park 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.
5. The use meets all of the applicable conditions per Title 19.12.
The proposed Trailer/RV Camp or Park use does not meet four of the seven
minimum requirements for the use. This includes standards regarding the number
of vehicle sites per acre, setback of the vehicle sites from property lines and
buildings and separation between recreational vehicles.
FINDINGS (VAC-71246)
We present the following information concerning this request to vacate certain public
street rights-of-way:
B. From a traffic handling viewpoint will this vacation request result in a reduced
traffic handling capability?
No, since the alley is currently used for access to adjacent properties and will
continue to do so after vacation.
C. Does it appear that the vacation request involves only excess right-of-way?
No, it is to vacate an alley.
D. Does this vacation request coincide with development plans of the adjacent
parcels?
Yes, SUP-71249, SUP-71250, SDR-49548, SDR-52710.
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.

Pre-Application Meeting
Application requirements for a Special Use Permit for a Trailer/RV
Camp or Park were discussed. A separate pre-application meeting
was held to discuss requirements for vacation of the adjacent alley.
06/06/17 The applicant stated that it intended to rent the trailers in a method
similar to a hotel; however, staff held that a Special Use Permit would
be required, as the RV Camp or Park use was more intense and is
located within a C-2 zoning district.
Neighborhood Meeting
A neighborhood meeting was not required, nor was one held.
Field Check
The site is gated at both the Ogden Avenue and 10 th Street access
driveways. Ingress is marked from Odgen Avenue and egress is one-
08/03/17 way onto 10th Street. Several parked trailers were observed at the
site. There are buildings situated on the property lines of the adjacent
alley.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a Special Use Permit with Waivers to allow a Massage
Establishment use at 2120 Paradise Road within the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning
district.
ISSUES
ANALYSIS
The subject site currently operates as a Health Club offering boxing, yoga, and dance
classes. The applicant has proposed to add massage therapy, and is requesting a
Special Use Permit with Waivers to do so.
The proposed floor plan consists of a waiting room with reception desk, an office and
breakroom, with five massage rooms and two fitness areas.
On the east side of Paradise Road located at 2033 Paradise Road, approximately 94
feet away from the subject site is an existing Massage Establishment. Title 19.12
requires a 1,000-foot distance separation between similar uses. The applicant is
requesting a Waiver of this distance separation requirement. In addition, Title 19.12
requires a 400-foot distance separation between a Massage Establishment and parcels
zoned for residential use. Approximately 117 feet to the south of the subject site is a
parcel zoned R-4 (High Density Residential). The applicant is requesting a Waiver of
this distance separation requirement as well. Staff is recommending denial of both
Waiver requests.
The Massage Establishment use is defined by Title 19.12 as, A facility which is
occupied and used for the purpose of practicing massage therapy as defined in LVMC
Chapter 6.52. Chapter 6.52 defines a Massage Establishment as, any premises
NE
SUP-71268 [PRJ-71175]
Staff Report Page Two
September 12, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
occupied and used for the purpose of performing massage therapy, excluding a premise
offering no massage therapy other than medical massage therapy or ancillary medical
massage therapy.
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include:
Requirement 1: The use shall comply with all applicable requirements of LVMC Title 6.
The proposed use meets this requirement as the proposed establishment would be
subject to regular inspections to ensure compliance with both Title 19 and Chapter 6.52.
The proposed use meets this requirement as Paradise Road is a 90-foot Primary
Arterial as designated by the Master Plan of Streets and Highways.
Requirement 3: The use may not be located within 400 feet of any church/house of
worship, school, City park, individual care center licensed for more than 12 children, or
any parcel zoned for residential use.
The proposed use does not meet this requirement, as the subject site is approximately
117 feet away from a parcel zoned for Residential use. The applicant is requesting a
Waiver of this requirement.
Requirement 4: The use may not be located within 1000 feet of any other massage
establishment.
The proposed use does not meet this requirement as the subject site is approximately
94 feet away from a similar use. The applicant is requesting a Waiver of this
requirement.
Requirement 5: The hours of operation shall be limited to the period between 6:00 a.m.
and 10:00 p.m., unless further limited by the City Council on a case-by-case basis.
The proposed use meets this requirement, as a Condition of Approval has been added
to address the required business hours, and the proposed establishment will be subject
to regular inspections to ensure compliance with this requirement.
Staff finds the addition of a second Massage Establishment within 94 feet of an existing
Massage Establishment would over saturate the area with similar uses and is
recommending denial of this application.

FINDINGS (SUP-71268)
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:
The proposed site is within the distance separation buffer areas for two protected
uses, residentially zoned property and a similar use. The residentially zoned
property has a 400-foot distance separation requirement, with the similar use
having a 1,000-foot distance separation requirement. This subject site is within
both of these buffer areas, and the proposed use is not compatible with the
surrounding area.
2. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use
proposed.
The subject site is not physically suited for the proposed use as two Waivers are
necessary for the proposed location; one to allow the use within 117 feet of a
parcel zoned for residential use where 400 feet is required, and another to allow
the proposed use within 94 feet of a similar use where 1,000 feet is required.
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.
5. The use meets all of the applicable conditions per Title 19.12.
The proposed use does not meet Requirements 3 and 4, as the proposed location
is approximately 117 feet away from a parcel zoned for residential use where 400
feet is required; and 94 feet away from a similar use where 1,000 feet is required.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a Special Use Permit to allow the sale of Beer/Wine/Coolers for off
premise consumption at 1801 East Charleston Boulevard.
ISSUES
ANALYSIS
The subject site is an existing commercial building located on the northeast corner of
Charleston Boulevard and Bruce Street within the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning
district. The suites in the commercial building are individually addressed, with 1801 East
Charleston Boulevard being located on the far western end of the building. A temporary
business license for a Convenience Store at 1801 East Charleston Boulevard was
issued on August 2, 2017.
Built in 1960, the subject site does not meet current minimum parking standards set
forth by Title 19.08 and 19.12. A land use or building which is existing on the effective
date of Title 19 and which complied with the applicable parking standards at the time
the use or building was established, but does not comply with current on-site parking
requirements of Title 19, is not considered a nonconforming use or nonconforming
building; but rather, it is considered to be a parking-impaired development. Due to this
circumstance defined by Title 19, a parking Variance is not required for the proposed
land use since no additional parking spaces are required for this use. The existing
parking impairment is unaffected by this request.
This parcel is currently served by the Las Vegas Valley Water District (LVVWD) but
does not have the required backflow prevention per NAC 445A.67195. The parcel will
be required to retrofit the domestic service with backflow prevention before the issuance
of a Certificate of Occupancy for the proposed land use.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing to operate a Short-Term Residential Rental use within the
existing single-family dwelling at 700 Canosa Avenue.
ISSUES
Pursuant to Title 19.12, a Short-Term Residential Rental use is permitted in the R-1
(Single Family Residential) zoning district as a Conditional Use.
The applicant will not comply with the owner occupied requirements of the
conditional use regulations and therefore per Title 19.12.040 a Special Use Permit is
required.
A Waiver has been requested to allow the use to be 177 feet from an existing Short-
Term Residential Rental use, where 660 feet is required. Staff does not support this
waiver request.
The applicant is required to schedule an inspection through the Department of
Planning - Code Enforcement Division. The inspection must be approved prior to the
issuance of the business license.
ANALYSIS
The subject property contains a single-family dwelling, is zoned R-1 (Single Family
Residential); and is subject to Title 19 requirements. The dwelling contains three
bedrooms per the Clark County Assessors records. The Short-Term Residential Rental
definition specifically prohibits the rental or occupancy of an accessory structure (Class I
or II), a tent, a trailer or a mobile unit. Staff has included a recommended condition that
includes that restriction.
A Short-Term Residential Rental use is permitted in the R-1 (Single Family Residential)
zoning district as a Conditional Use. The proposed use would not meet the Conditional
Use Regulations requiring it to be owner occupied during each period the unit is rented
and to be 660 feet from any other Short-Term Residential Rental use; therefore, per
Title 19.12.040 a Special Use Permit is required.
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 entire dwelling
CS
SUP-70619 [PRJ-69800]
Staff Report Page Two
September 12, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
unit or one or more individual rooms within 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. For purposes of this Title, this
use does not include the rental or occupancy of an accessory structure (Class I or II), a
tent, a trailer or a mobile unit. In the case of a single parcel containing more than one
dwelling unit, each dwelling unit constitutes a separate short-term residential rental
use. Per the applicants justification letter date stamped on 05/22/17, the applicant
meets this definition, as they intend to rent out their single-family dwelling on a short-
term basis. Additionally, the following analysis is required:
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include: (The requirements
marked with an asterisk cannot be waived.)
*1. The operator must obtain a business license to operate the use.
If this Special Use Permit is approved, the applicant will be required to obtain a
business license prior to operating.
*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.
*3. The use must comply with the Citys noise regulations as they apply to residential
uses, as well as any applicable provisions of the Municipal Code that may pertain
to odor nuisances.
The Code Enforcement Division will investigate noise and odor nuisance
allegations and take enforcement action when appropriate. Reports of violations
will be forwarded to the Business Licensing Division for action when appropriate.
*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.
The Code Enforcement Division will investigate traffic and access obstruction
allegations and take enforcement action when appropriate. Reports of violations
will be forwarded to the Business Licensing Division for action when appropriate.
CS
SUP-70619 [PRJ-69800]
Staff Report Page Three
September 12, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
*6. The use is allowed in the P-O, O, C-1, C-2 and C-PB Zoning Districts only in
connection with the residential component of a mixed-use development or in a
dwelling unit permitted as a legal nonconforming use.
This condition does not apply, as the subject site is not zoned P-O, O, C-1, C-2
or C-PB.
*7. The maximum occupancy of the residential dwelling unit shall not exceed the
limits provided for in LVMC 6.75.090.
8. 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).
The applicant has requested a waiver of this requirement to allow the proposed
Short-Term Residential Rental to be 177 feet from the nearest existing Short-

the waiver request.
Additional parking for a Short-Term Residential Rental is only required if the unit has
more than five bedrooms, at which point one additional space shall be required for
every two additional bedrooms or fractional portion thereof. The proposed Short-Term
Residential Rental has three bedrooms and therefore is not required to provide
additional parking.
The subject site is located within the Beverly Green Southridge Neighborhood Plan
area, which has a goal(#8) of preventing additional commercial encroachment into
residential areas. The proposed Short-Term Residential Rental use will not be
compatible with the surrounding residential uses due to the existing Short-Term
Residential Rental use that is currently licensed approximately 177 feet from the subject

site. In addition, there is a second licensed Short-Term Residential Rental use located
approximately 550 feet away from the subject site. Code requirements are intended to
discourage the saturation of Short-Term Residential Rental uses within residential
areas. The minimum special use permit requirements specify that the distance between
similar uses shall be at least 660 feet; therefore, staff recommends denial. If this
application is approved, it is subject to conditions.
FINDINGS (SUP-71248)
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:
2. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use
proposed.
The subject site is physically suitable for the use as a Short-Term Residential
Rental.
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 approval of the Special Use Permit on this subject property will be subject to
conditions of approval, business license approval, and compliance inspections to
ensure it will not compromise the public health safety and welfare.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The subject site has been operating as a Short-Term Residential Rental with a business
license issued on 04/18/16, but requires a Special Use Permit to continue operating
after 6/30/19 per Ordinance No. 6585.
ISSUES
Pursuant to Title 19.12, a Short-Term Residential Rental use is permitted in the R-E
(Residence Estates) zoning district as a Conditional Use.
The applicant will not comply with the owner occupied requirements of the
conditional use regulations and per Title 19.12.040 may request a Special Use
Permit.
The applicant has been operating a Short-Term Residential Rental at this site under
business license (G64-02366) issued on 04/18/16. The applicant erroneously
received planning approval through a Conditional Use Verification (CUV-63924)
issued on 03/22/16.
The applicant began operations prior to the requirement of a Special Use Permit for
a Short-Term Residential Rental use.
A Waiver has been requested to allow the use to be 343 feet from an existing Short-
Term Residential Rental use, where 660 feet is required. Staff does not support this
waiver request.
The applicant is required to schedule an inspection through the Department of
Planning - Code Enforcement Division. If approved, this inspection must be
performed in order to be in compliance with Ordinance No. 6585.
ANALYSIS
The subject property contains a three-bedroom single-family dwelling located within the
R-E (Residence Estates) zoning district. The applicant is currently operating a licensed
Short-Term Residential Rental use on the property.
A Short-Term Residential Rental use is permitted in the R-E (Residence Estates) zoning
district as a Conditional Use. Although the subject site did not meet Conditional Use
Regulation Number 4 that requires the use to not be located closer than 660 feet to any

September 12, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
other Short-Term Residential Rental use (measured from property line to property line),
the Conditional Use Verification (CUV-63924) was erroneously approved on 03/22/16.
The subject site was issued a business license on 04/18/16 based on this erroneous
Conditional Use Verification. Located at 1704 Ivanhoe Way (approximately 343 feet
away from 1621 Birch Street), this Short Term Residential Rental was issued a
business license (G64-01574) on 03/21/16, 28 days prior to the issuance of the
business license for 1621 Birch Street.
The subject site has been operating as a Short-Term Residential Rental with a business
license issued on 04/18/16, but requires a Special Use Permit to continue operating
after 6/30/19 per Ordinance No. 6585, as the property will not be owner occupied and
requires a Waiver of the distance separation requirement.
Additional parking for a Short-Term Residential Rental is only required if the unit has
more than five bedrooms, at which point one additional space shall be required for
every two additional bedrooms or fractional portion thereof. The proposed Short-Term
Residential Rental has three bedrooms and therefore is not required to provide
additional parking.
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 entire dwelling
unit or one or more individual rooms within 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. For purposes of this Title, this
use does not include the rental or occupancy of an accessory structure (Class I or II), a
tent, a trailer or a mobile unit. In the case of a single parcel containing more than one
dwelling unit, each dwelling unit constitutes a separate short-term residential rental
use. Per the applicants justification letter date stamped on 06/27/17, 1621 Birch LLC
has been operating the property as a Short-Term Residential Rental since April, 2016
pursuant to business license (G64-02366) and Conditional Use Verification (CUV-
63924).
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include: (The requirements
marked with an asterisk cannot be waived.)
*1. The operator must obtain a business license to operate the use.
NE
SUP-71059 [PRJ-71058]
Staff Report Page Three
September 12, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
*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.
Since a business license has already been issued for this Short-Term Residential
Rental, it is subject to license renewal and annual compliance review to ensure
that all regulatory requirements continue to be met.
*3. The use must comply with the Citys noise regulations as they apply to residential
uses, as well as any applicable provisions of the Municipal Code that may pertain
to odor nuisances.
The Code Enforcement Division will investigate noise and odor nuisance
allegations and take enforcement action when appropriate. Reports of violations
will be forwarded to the Business Licensing Division for action when appropriate.
*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.
The Code Enforcement Division will investigate traffic and access obstruction
allegations and take enforcement action when appropriate. Reports of violations
will be forwarded to the Business Licensing Division for action when appropriate.
Since a business license has been issued for this Short-Term Residential Rental,
it is subject to license renewal and annual compliance review to ensure that all
regulatory requirements continue to be met.
*6. The use is allowed in the P-O, O, C-1, C-2 and C-PB Zoning Districts only in
connection with the residential component of a mixed-use development or in a
dwelling unit permitted as a legal nonconforming use.
This condition does not apply, as the subject site is not zoned P-O, O, C-1, C-2
or C-PB.
NE
SUP-71059 [PRJ-71058]

September 12, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
*7. The maximum occupancy of the residential dwelling unit shall not exceed the
limits provided for in LVMC 6.75.090.
8. 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).
The applicant has requested a waiver of this requirement to allow the existing
Short-Term Residential Rental to be 343 feet from the nearest existing Short-
Term Residential Rental use, where 660 feet is required. Staff does not support
the waiver request.
Staff finds the approval of this Special Use Permit will oversaturate a residential
neighborhood with similar uses, which is not consistent with the Las Vegas 2020 Master
Plan. The Master Plan speaks of stabilizing and improving the mature neighborhoods
that form the heart of the community, and to protect them from the intrusion of non-
residential land uses. Allowing two Short Term Residential Rentals to be located
approximately 343 feet away from each other allows the intrusion of both residential and
non-residential land uses and does not support the stabilization of a mature
neighborhood. For these reasons, staff is recommending denial of this request.
FINDINGS (SUP-71248)
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:
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 existing Short-Term Residential
Rental use as the subject site is 343 feet away from another Short-Term
Residential Rental that was previously licensed on March 21, 2016.
The existing Short-Term Residential Rental use will be accessed Silver Avenue, a
52-foot wide local street, which will provide adequate access for 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 approval of the Special Use Permit will result in an oversaturation of similar
uses, which is inconsistent with the Las Vegas 2020 Master Plan. If approved, the
subject property will be subject to conditions of approval, business license
approval, and compliance inspections to assure it will not compromise the public
health safety and welfare.
5. The use meets all of the applicable conditions per Title 19.12.
The existing Short-Term Residential Rental use complies with all of the Special
Use Permit requirements listed in Title 19.12, with the exception of the distance
separation from a similar, existing use. The applicant has requested a Waiver to
allow a 343-foot separation where 660 feet is required. Staff does not support this
waiver request.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing to operate a Short-Term Residential Rental use within the
existing single-family dwelling at 4000 San Joaquin Avenue.
ISSUES
Pursuant to Title 19.12, a Short-Term Residential Rental use is permitted in the R-1
(Single Family Residential) zoning district as a Conditional Use.
The applicant will not comply with the owner occupied requirements of the
conditional use regulations and therefore per Title 19.12.040 a Special Use Permit is
required.
A Waiver has been requested to allow the use to be 235 feet from an existing Short-
Term Residential Rental use, where 660 feet is required. Staff does not support this
waiver request.
The applicant failed an inspection through the Department of Planning - Code
Enforcement Division on 05/23/17. The inspection must be approved prior to the
issuance of the business license.
ANALYSIS
The subject property contains a single-family dwelling, is zoned R-1 (Single Family
Residential) and is subject to Title 19 requirements. The dwelling contains four
bedrooms per the Clark County Assessors records. The Short-Term Residential Rental
definition specifically prohibits the rental or occupancy of an accessory structure (Class I
or II), a tent, a trailer or a mobile unit. Staff has included a recommended condition that
includes that restriction.
A Short-Term Residential Rental use is permitted in the R-1 (Single Family Residential)
zoning district as a Conditional Use. The proposed use would not meet the Conditional
Use Regulations requiring it to be owner occupied during each period the unit is rented
and to be 660 feet from any other Short-Term Residential Rental use; therefore, per
Title 19.12.040 a Special Use Permit is required.
CS
SUP-71214 [PRJ-71151]
Staff Report Page Two
September 12, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
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 entire dwelling
unit or one or more individual rooms within 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. For purposes of this Title, this
use does not include the rental or occupancy of an accessory structure (Class I or II), a
tent, a trailer or a mobile unit. In the case of a single parcel containing more than one
dwelling unit, each dwelling unit constitutes a separate short-term residential rental
use. Per the applicants justification letter date stamped on 07/18/17, the applicant
meets this definition as they intend to rent out their single family dwelling on a short
term basis. Additionally, the following analysis is required:
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include: (The requirements
marked with an asterisk cannot be waived.)
*1. The operator must obtain a business license to operate the use.
If this Special Use Permit is approved, the applicant will be required to obtain a
business license prior to operating.
*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.
*3. The use must comply with the Citys noise regulations as they apply to residential
uses, as well as any applicable provisions of the Municipal Code that may pertain
to odor nuisances.
The Code Enforcement Division will investigate noise and odor nuisance
allegations and take enforcement action when appropriate. Reports of violations
will be forwarded to the Business Licensing Division for action when appropriate.
*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.

This condition does not apply, as the subject site is not zoned P-O, O, C-1, C-2

The applicant has requested a waiver of this requirement to allow the proposed
Short-Term Residential Rental to be 235 feet from the nearest existing Short-
Term Residential Rental use, where 660 feet is required. Staff does not support
the waiver request.
Additional parking for a Short-Term Residential Rental is only required if the unit has
more than five bedrooms, at which point one additional space shall be required for
every two additional bedrooms or fractional portion thereof. The proposed Short-Term
Residential Rental has four bedrooms and therefore is not required to provide additional
parking.

September 12, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The proposed Short-Term Residential Rental use will not be compatible with the
surrounding residential uses due to the existing Short-Term Rental use that is currently
licensed approximately 235 feet from the subject site. Code requirements are intended
to discourage the saturation of Short-Term Residential Rental uses within residential
areas. The minimum special use permit requirements specify that the distance between
similar uses shall be at least 660 feet; therefore, staff recommends denial. If this
application is approved, it is subject to conditions.
FINDINGS (SUP-71248)
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:
2. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use
proposed.
The subject site is physically suitable for the use as a Short-Term Residential
Rental.
The proposed Short-Term Residential Rental use will be accessed from San
Joaquin Avenue and Arenas Street, both 50-foot wide local streets, which will
provide adequate access for 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 approval of the Special Use Permit on this subject property will be subject to
conditions of approval, business license approval, and compliance inspections to
ensure it will not compromise the public health safety and welfare.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing to operate a Short-Term Residential Rental use within the
existing single-family dwelling at 3284 Mustang Road.
ISSUES
Pursuant to Title 19.12, a Short-Term Residential Rental use is permitted in the R-E
(Residence Estates) zoning district as a Conditional Use.
The applicant will not comply with the owner occupied requirements and bedroom
limitations of the conditional use regulations and therefore per Title 19.12.040 a
Special Use Permit is required.
The applicant is required to schedule an inspection through the Department of
Planning - Code Enforcement Division. The inspection must be approved prior to the
issuance of the business license.
ANALYSIS
A Short-Term Residential Rental use is permitted in the R-E (Residence Estates) zoning
district as a Conditional Use. The proposed use would not meet the Conditional Use
Regulations requiring it to be owner occupied during each period the unit is rented and
is a home with more than three-bedrooms; therefore, per Title 19.12.040 a Special Use
Permit is required.
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 entire dwelling
unit or one or more individual rooms within 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
CS
SUP-71230 [PRJ-71206]

September 12, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
dwelling units that is specifically defined in Chapter 19.18. For purposes of this Title, this
use does not include the rental or occupancy of an accessory structure (Class I or II), a
tent, a trailer or a mobile unit. In the case of a single parcel containing more than one
dwelling unit, each dwelling unit constitutes a separate short-term residential rental
use. Per the applicants justification letter date stamped on 07/20/17, the applicant
meets this definition, as they intend to rent out their single-family dwelling on a short-
term basis. Additionally, the following analysis is required:
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include: (The requirements
marked with an asterisk cannot be waived.)
*1. The operator mst obtain a business license to operate the use.
If this Special Use Permit is approved, the applicant will be required to obtain a
business license prior to operating.
*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.
*3. The use must comply with the Citys noise regulations as they apply to residential
uses, as well as any applicable provisions of the Municipal Code that may pertain
to odor nuisances.
The Code Enforcement Division will investigate noise and odor nuisance
allegations and take enforcement action when appropriate. Reports of violations
will be forwarded to the Business Licensing Division for action when appropriate.
*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.
The Code Enforcement Division will investigate traffic and access obstruction
allegations and take enforcement action when appropriate. Reports of violations
will be forwarded to the Business Licensing Division for action when appropriate.

*6. The use is allowed in the P-O, O, C-1, C-2 and C-PB Zoning Districts only in
connection with the residential component of a mixed-use development or in a
dwelling unit permitted as a legal nonconforming use.
This condition does not apply, as the subject site is not zoned P-O, O, C-1, C-2
or C-PB.
*7. The maximum occupancy of the residential dwelling unit shall not exceed the
limits provided for in LVMC 6.75.090.
8. 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).
The proposed use meets this requirement, as the subject property is more than
660 feet from the nearest Short-Term Residential Rental use.
Additional parking for a Short-Term Residential Rental is only required if the unit has
more than five bedrooms, at which point one additional space shall be required for
every two additional bedrooms or fractional portion thereof. The proposed Short-Term
Residential Rental has 4 bedrooms and therefore is not required to provide additional
parking.
The subject site is located within the Centennial Hills Sector Plan Area. An objective of
this plan is to achieve a compatible balance of land uses that are standard throughout
the Centennial Hills Sector by providing appropriate and compatible locations for all land
use categories. There is no other Short-Term Residential Use located within the
required 660-foot distance separation. There is a church located on the property
adjacent to the south. Per the submitted justification letter, the church has voiced its

support of the proposed use. It is concluded that the proposed Short-Term Residential
Rental use can be conducted in a manner that will not negatively impact the
surrounding area; therefore, staff recommends approval subject to conditions.
FINDINGS (SUP-71248)
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:
2. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use
proposed.
The subject site is physically suitable for the use as a Short-Term Residential
Rental.
The proposed Short-Term Residential Rental use will be accessed from Mustang
Road, a 60-foot wide minor collector, which will provide adequate access for 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 approval of the Special Use Permit on this subject property will be subject to
conditions of approval, business license approval, and compliance inspections to
assure it will not compromise the public health safety and welfare.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
ISSUES
Pursuant to Title 19.12, a Short-Term Residential Rental use is permitted in the R-E
(Residence Estates) zoning district as a Conditional Use.
The applicant will not comply with the owner occupied requirements and bedroom
limitations of the conditional use regulations. Therefore per Title 19.12.040, a
Special Use Permit is required. Staff recommends approval.
The applicant is required to schedule an inspection through the Department of
Planning - Code Enforcement Division. The inspection must be approved prior to
the issuance of the business license.
ANALYSIS
A Short-Term Residential Rental use is permitted in the R-E (Residence Estates) zoning
district as a Conditional Use. The proposed use would not meet the Conditional Use
Regulations requiring it to be owner occupied during each period the unit is rented and
limiting the rental use to a maximum of a three-bedroom home; therefore, per Title
19.12.040, a Special Use Permit is required.
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 entire dwelling
unit or one or more individual rooms within 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. For purposes of this Title, this
use does not include the rental or occupancy of an accessory structure (Class I or II), a
tent, a trailer or a mobile unit. In the case of a single parcel containing more than one
dwelling unit, each dwelling unit constitutes a separate short-term residential rental

use. Per the applicants justification letter date stamped on 07/24/17, the single-family
dwelling will be occupied by the owner when they are in town. The property will be
offered as a Short-Term Residential Rental while the owner is out of town.
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include:
*1. The operator must obtain a business license to operate the use.
If this Special Use Permit is approved, the applicant will be required to obtain a
business license.
*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.
*3. The use must comply with the Citys noise regulations as they apply to residential
uses, as well as any applicable provisions of the Municipal Code that may pertain
to odor nuisances.
The Code Enforcement Division will investigate noise and odor nuisance
allegations and take enforcement action when appropriate. Reports of violations
will be forwarded to the Business Licensing Division for action when appropriate.
*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.
The Code Enforcement Division will investigate traffic and access obstruction
allegations and take enforcement action when appropriate. Reports of violations
will be forwarded to the Business Licensing Division for action when appropriate.

*6. The use is allowed in the P-O, O, C-1, C-2 and C-PB Zoning Districts only in
connection with the residential component of a mixed-use development or in a
dwelling unit permitted as a legal nonconforming use.
This condition does not apply, as the subject site is not zoned P-O, O, C-1, C-2
or C-PB.
*7. The maximum occupancy of the residential dwelling unit shall not exceed the
limits provided for in LVMC 6.75.090.
8. 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).
The proposed use meets this requirement, as the subject property is 794 feet
from the nearest Short-Term Residential Rental use.
Additional parking for a Short-Term Residential Rental is only required if the unit has
more than five bedrooms, at which point one additional space shall be required for
every two additional bedrooms or fractional portion thereof. The proposed Short-Term
Residential Rental has four bedrooms and therefore is not required to provide additional
parking. The subject property is located in an established single-family residential
subdivision, and has sufficient onsite parking for the proposed use.
The subject site meets the distance separation requirements, and although it will not be
owner occupied and has four bedrooms, staff finds that the use can be conducted in a
manner that is harmonious with the existing surrounding land uses. Therefore, staff
recommends approval subject to conditions.
FINDINGS (SUP-71248)
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:

proposed.
The subject site is physically suitable for the use as a Short-Term Residential
Rental.
The facility can be accessed from Cahlan Drive, a 60-foot wide local street, which
is adequate for the proposed Short-Term Residential Rental 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 approval of the Special Use Permits on this subject property will be subject to
condition of approval, business license approval, and compliance inspections to
assume it will not compromise the public health safety and welfare.
5. The use meets all of the applicable conditions per Title 19.12.
The proposed Short-Term Residential Rental use complies with all of the Special
Use Permit requirements listed in Title 19.12.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing to operate a Short-Term Residential Rental use within the
existing single-family dwelling at 309 Arnold Street.
ISSUES
Pursuant to Title 19.12, a Short-Term Residential Rental use is permitted in the R-1
(Single Family Residential) zoning district as a Conditional Use.
The applicant will not comply with the owner occupied requirements and bedroom
limitations of the conditional use regulations and therefore, per Title 19.12.040, a
Special Use Permit is required.
A Waiver has been requested to allow the use to be 152 feet from an existing Short-
Term Residential Rental use, where 660 feet is required. Staff supports this waiver
request.
The applicant is required to schedule an inspection through the Department of
Planning - Code Enforcement Division. The inspection must be approved prior to the
issuance of the business license.
A Code Enforcement case (#174907) was processed for a non-licensed Short-Term
Rental at 309 Arnold Street. The case has not been resolved.
ANALYSIS
The subject property contains a single-family dwelling, is zoned R-1 (Single Family
Residential) and is subject to Title 19 requirements. The dwelling contains six bedrooms
per the Clark County Assessors records. The applicant is proposing to offer a Short-
Term Residential Rental use on the property. The Short-Term Residential Rental
definition specifically prohibits the rental or occupancy of an accessory structure (Class I
or II), a tent, a trailer or a mobile unit. Staff has included a recommended condition that
includes that restriction.
A Short-Term Residential Rental use is permitted in the R-1 (Single Family Residential)
zoning district as a Conditional Use. The proposed use would not meet the Conditional
Use Regulations requiring it be owner occupied during each period the unit is rented, to
be 660 feet from any other Short-Term Residential Rental use, and is a home with more
than three-bedroom; therefore, per Title 19.12.040, a Special Use Permit is required.

Staff Report Page Two
September 12, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
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 entire dwelling
unit or one or more individual rooms within 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. For purposes of this Title, this
use does not include the rental or occupancy of an accessory structure (Class I or II), a
tent, a trailer or a mobile unit. In the case of a single parcel containing more than one
dwelling unit, each dwelling unit constitutes a separate short-term residential rental
use. Per the applicants justification letter date stamped on 07/26/17, the subject site
will provide six guest rooms for lodging of individual guests. Additionally, the following
analysis is required:
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include: (The requirements
marked with an asterisk cannot be waived.)
*1. The operator must obtain a business license to operate the use.
If this Special Use Permit is approved, the applicant will be required to obtain a
business license prior to operating.
*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.
*3. The use must comply with the Citys noise regulations as they apply to residential
uses, as well as any applicable provisions of the Municipal Code that may pertain
to odor nuisances.
The Code Enforcement Division will investigate noise and odor nuisance
allegations and take enforcement action when appropriate. Reports of violations
will be forwarded to the Business Licensing Division for action when appropriate.
*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.

September 12, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The Code Enforcement Division will investigate traffic and access obstruction
allegations and take enforcement action when appropriate. Reports of violations
will be forwarded to the Business Licensing Division for action when appropriate.
*6. The use is allowed in the P-O, O, C-1, C-2 and C-PB Zoning Districts only in
connection with the residential component of a mixed-use development or in a
dwelling unit permitted as a legal nonconforming use.
This condition does not apply, as the subject site is not zoned P-O, O, C-1, C-2
or C-PB.
*7. The maximum occupancy of the residential dwelling unit shall not exceed the
limits provided for in LVMC 6.75.090.
8. 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).
The applicant has requested a waiver of this requirement to allow the proposed
Short-Term Residential Rental to be 152 feet from the nearest existing Short-
Term Residential Rental use, where 660 feet is required. Staff supports the
waiver request as the requested use is similar to the previously approved Bed
and Breakfast Inn use at the subject site.
Additional parking for a Short-Term Residential Rental is only required if the unit has
more than five bedrooms, at which point one additional space shall be required for
every two additional bedrooms or fractional portion thereof. The proposed Short-Term
Residential Rental has six bedrooms and therefore is required to provide one additional
parking space; the submitted site plan indicates four parking spaces will be provided
including one garage parking space.

September 12, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The applicant has requested a waiver of the 660-foot distance separation from a similar,
existing use. The subject site is 152 feet from the nearest Short-Term Residential
Rental. Staff supports this waiver request as the requested use is similar to the
previously approved Bed and Breakfast Inn use at the subject site.
On July 19th, 2017 the City Council approved a request for a Special Use Permit (SUP-
69676) for a proposed Bed & Breakfast Inn use with Waivers to allow guest parking not
be screened by a six-foot tall fence or dense landscaping and to allow the use to be
located on a 39-foot right-of-way where 50 feet is required at 309 Arnold Street.
FINDINGS (SUP-71273)

Commission and City Council must affirm the following:
2. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use

land 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 approval of the Special Use Permit on this subject property will be subject to
condition of approval and business license approval and compliance. The
Department of Fire and Rescue must inspect and approve the occupancy of an
establishment before it may be used as a Short-Term Residential Rental.
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 Title 19.12.

and Minimum Special Use Permit Requirement (#8) to allow a 152-foot distance
separation from a short term residential rental use where 660 feet is required, to
allow the property to not be occupied by its owner during each period the unit is
rented and that there are six bedrooms on the property associated with the
proposed use. Due to the requested Waivers this application which requires
approval of a Special Use Permit to conduct the use at this location. Staff supports
the Waiver requests.

Additional parking for a Short-Term Residential Rental is only required if the unit has
more than five bedrooms, at which point one additional space shall be required for
every two additional bedrooms or fractional portion thereof. The proposed Short-Term
Residential Rental has four bedrooms and therefore is not required to provide additional
parking.
The subject site meets the distance separation requirements and although it will not be
owner occupied and has four bedrooms, staff finds that the use can be conducted in a
manner that is harmonious with the existing surrounding land uses. Therefore, staff
recommends approval subject to conditions.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing to operate a Short-Term Residential Rental use within the
existing single-family dwelling at 809 Franklin Avenue.
ISSUES
Pursuant to Title 19.12, a Short-Term Residential Rental use is permitted in the R-1
(Single Family Residential) zoning district as a Conditional Use.
The applicant will not comply with the owner occupied requirements of the
conditional use regulations and therefore per Title 19.12.040 a Special Use Permit is
required.
A Waiver has been requested to allow the use to be 180 feet from an existing Short-
Term Residential Rental use, where 660 feet is required. Staff does not support this
waiver request.
The applicant is required to schedule an inspection through the Department of
Planning - Code Enforcement Division.
ANALYSIS
The subject property, zoned R-1 (Single Family Residential), contains a single-family
dwelling and is subject to the requirements of Title 19. The dwelling contains 3
bedrooms per the Clark County Assessors records. The site is also developed with a
detached accessory structure. The Short-Term Residential Rental definition specifically
prohibits the rental or occupancy of an accessory structure (Class I or II), a tent, a trailer
or a mobile unit. Staff has included a recommended condition that includes that
restriction.
A Short-Term Residential Rental use is permitted in the R-1 (Single Family Residential)
zoning district as a Conditional Use. The proposed use would not meet the Conditional
Use Regulations requiring it to be owner occupied during each period the unit is rented
and to be 660 feet from any other Short-Term Residential Rental use; therefore, per
Title 19.12.040 a Special Use Permit is required.
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 entire dwelling
PB
SUP-71312 [PRJ-71276]

unit or one or more individual rooms within 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. For purposes of this Title, this
use does not include the rental or occupancy of an accessory structure (Class I or II), a
tent, a trailer or a mobile unit. In the case of a single parcel containing more than one
dwelling unit, each dwelling unit constitutes a separate short-term residential rental
use. Per the applicants justification letter date stamped on 08/01/17, they are aware of
the laws for short term rentals and intend to abide by all laws and policies. Additionally,
the following analysis is required:
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include: (The requirements
marked with an asterisk cannot be waived.)
*1. The operator must obtain a business license to operate the use.
If this Special Use Permit is approved, the applicant will be required to obtain a
business license prior to operating.
*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.
*3. The use must comply with the Citys noise regulations as they apply to residential
uses, as well as any applicable provisions of the Municipal Code that may pertain
to odor nuisances.
The Code Enforcement Division will investigate noise and odor nuisance
allegations and take enforcement action when appropriate. Reports of violations
will be forwarded to the Business Licensing Division for action when appropriate.
*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.
The Code Enforcement Division will investigate traffic and access obstruction
allegations and take enforcement action when appropriate. Reports of violations
will be forwarded to the Business Licensing Division for action when appropriate.

*6. The use is allowed in the P-O, O, C-1, C-2 and C-PB Zoning Districts only in
connection with the residential component of a mixed-use development or in a
dwelling unit permitted as a legal nonconforming use.
This condition does not apply, as the subject site is not zoned P-O, O, C-1, C-2
or C-PB.
*7. The maximum occupancy of the residential dwelling unit shall not exceed the
limits provided for in LVMC 6.75.090.
8. 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).
The applicant has requested a waiver of this requirement to allow the proposed
Short-Term Residential Rental to be 180 feet from the nearest existing Short-
Term Residential Rental use, where 660 feet is required. Staff does not support
the waiver request.
Additional parking for a Short-Term Residential Rental is only required if the unit has
more than five bedrooms, at which point one additional space shall be required for
every two additional bedrooms or fractional portion thereof. The proposed Short-Term
Residential Rental has 3 bedrooms and therefore is not required to provide additional
parking.
The applicant has requested a waiver of the 660-foot distance separation from a similar,
existing use. The subject site is 180 feet from the nearest Short-Term Residential
Rental. Staff does not support this waiver request.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing to operate a Short-Term Residential Rental use within the
existing single-family dwelling at 720 Starks Drive.
ISSUES
Pursuant to Title 19.12, a Short-Term Residential Rental use is permitted in the R-1
(Single Family Residential) zoning district as a Conditional Use.
The applicant will not comply with the owner occupied requirements and bedroom
limitations of the conditional use regulations and therefore per Title 19.12.040 a
Special Use Permit is required.
The applicant received planning approval through Conditional Use Verification
(CUV-67667 issued on 11/08/16 and CUV-69070 issued on 04/10/17). However, a
business license for a short-term residential rental was not issued.
The applicant is required to schedule an inspection through the Department of
Planning - Code Enforcement Division. The inspection must be approved prior to
the issuance of the business license.
ANALYSIS
The subject property contains a single-family dwelling, is zoned R-1 (Single Family
Residential) and is subject to Title 19 requirements. The dwelling contains four
bedrooms per the Clark County Assessors records. The site is also developed with a
permitted detached accessory structure. The Short-Term Residential Rental definition
specifically prohibits the rental or occupancy of an accessory structure (Class I or II), a
tent, a trailer or a mobile unit. Staff has included a recommended condition that
includes that restriction.
A Short-Term Residential Rental use is permitted in the R-1 (Single Family Residential)
zoning district as a Conditional Use. The proposed use would not meet the Conditional
Use Regulations requiring it to be owner occupied during each period the unit is rented
and is a home with more than three bedrooms; therefore, per Title 19.12.040 a Special
Use Permit is required for the use.
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 entire dwelling

unit or one or more individual rooms within 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. For purposes of this Title, this
use does not include the rental or occupancy of an accessory structure (Class I or II), a
tent, a trailer or a mobile unit. In the case of a single parcel containing more than one
dwelling unit, each dwelling unit constitutes a separate short-term residential rental
use. Per the applicants justification letter date stamped on 08/01/17, the use will not
be owner occupied, and the owner intends to rent out four bedrooms for periods of less
than 31 days. The dwelling would not be used as a Community Residence or other type
of group home. According to the applicant, exit signs, fire extinguishers, smoke alarms
and carbon monoxide alarms are all installed. In addition, the pool area has been
secured.
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include: (The requirements
marked with an asterisk cannot be waived.)
*1. The operator must obtain a business license to operate the use.
If this Special Use Permit is approved, the applicant will be required to obtain a
business license prior to operating.
*2. The use must comply on an ongoing basis with all governmental licensing and
regulatory requirements, including the payment of applicable room taxes and

*3. The use must comply with the Citys noise regulations as they apply to residential
uses, as well as any applicable provisions of the Municipal Code that may pertain
to odor nuisances.
The Code Enforcement Division will investigate noise and odor nuisance
allegations and take enforcement action when appropriate. Reports of violations
will be forwarded to the Business Licensing Division for action when appropriate.
*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.

*6. The use is allowed in the P-O, O, C-1, C-2 and C-PB Zoning Districts only in
connection with the residential component of a mixed-use development or in a
dwelling unit permitted as a legal nonconforming use.
This condition does not apply, as the subject site is not zoned P-O, O, C-1, C-2

*7. The maximum occupancy of the residential dwelling unit shall not exceed the
limits provided for in LVMC 6.75.090.
8. 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).
The proposed use meets this requirement, as the subject property is 960 feet
from the nearest Short-Term Residential Rental use.
The applicant received two planning approvals through a Conditional Use Verification
(CUV-67667, issued on 11/08/16 and CUV-69070 issued on 04/10/17). However, no
business license to conduct the use was issued. The property is located within a single-
family residential subdivision. The floor plan indicates the dwelling contains one story,
four bedrooms and 2,037 square feet. The dwelling conforms to all R-1 (Single Family
Residential) setbacks. The lot is approximately 960 feet from the nearest Short-Term
Residential Rental use. No waivers or variances are required as a result of this request.
Additional parking for a Short-Term Residential Rental is only required if the unit has
more than five bedrooms, at which point one additional space shall be required for
SS
SUP-71313 [PRJ-71274]
every two additional bedrooms or fractional portion thereof. The proposed Short-Term
Residential Rental has four bedrooms and therefore is not required to provide additional
parking.
The proposed use can be conducted in a manner that is harmonious and compatible
with the adjacent residential land uses. The use is in conformance with all minimum
Special Use Permit Requirements for the Short-Term Residential Rental use, including
the distance separation requirement from existing similar uses. Staff therefore
recommends approval with conditions. If denied, a business license to conduct the use
cannot be issued.
FINDINGS (SUP-71248)
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:
2. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use
proposed.
The subject site is physically suitable for the use as a Short-Term Residential
Rental.
The proposed Short-Term Residential Rental use will be accessed from Starks
Drive, a 51-foot wide local street, which will provide adequate access for 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 approval of the Special Use Permit on this subject property will be subject to
conditions of approval, business license approval, and compliance inspections to
assure it will not compromise the public health safety and welfare.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing to operate a Short-Term Residential Rental use within the
existing single-family dwelling at 4300 Sawyer Avenue.
ISSUES
Pursuant to Title 19.12, a Short-Term Residential Rental use is permitted in the R-1
(Single Family Residential) zoning district as a Conditional Use.
The applicant will not comply with the owner occupied requirements and bedroom
limitations of the conditional use regulations, and therefore per Title 19.12.040 a
Special Use Permit is required.
The applicant received planning approval through a Conditional Use Verification
(CUV-64283), issued on 04/18/16. However, a business license application for a
short-term residential rental was denied on 08/29/16.
The applicant is required to schedule an inspection through the Department of
Planning - Code Enforcement Division. The inspection must be approved prior to
the issuance of the business license.
ANALYSIS
The subject property contains a single-family dwelling, is zoned R-1 (Single Family
Residential) and is subject to Title 19 requirements. The dwelling contains four
bedrooms per the Clark County Assessors records. The site also contains an attached
garage that does not have interior access to the dwelling. The Short-Term Residential
Rental definition specifically prohibits the rental or occupancy of an accessory structure
(Class I or II), a tent, a trailer or a mobile unit. Staff has included a recommended
condition that includes that restriction.
A Short-Term Residential Rental use is permitted in the R-1 (Single Family Residential)
zoning district as a Conditional Use. The proposed use would not meet the Conditional
Use Regulations requiring it to be owner occupied during each period the unit is rented
and is a home with more than three bedrooms; therefore, per Title 19.12.040 a Special
Use Permit is required for the use.
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 entire dwelling
SS
SUP-71315 [PRJ-71271]
Staff Report Page Two
September 12, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
unit or one or more individual rooms within 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. For purposes of this Title, this use
does not include the rental or occupancy of an accessory structure (Class I or II), a tent,
a trailer or a mobile unit. In the case of a single parcel containing more than one
dwelling unit, each dwelling unit constitutes a separate short-term residential rental
use. Per the applicants justification letter date stamped on 08/01/17, the use will not
be owner occupied, and the owner intends to rent out four bedrooms for periods of less
than 31 days. The dwelling would not be used as a Community Residence or other type
of group home. According to the applicant, exit signs, fire extinguishers, smoke alarms
and carbon monoxide alarms are all installed. In addition, the pool area has been
secured.
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include: (The requirements
marked with an asterisk cannot be waived.)
*1. The operator must obtain a business license to operate the use.
If this Special Use Permit is approved, the applicant will be required to obtain a
business license prior to operating.
*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.
*3. The use must comply with the Citys noise regulations as they apply to residential
uses, as well as any applicable provisions of the Municipal Code that may pertain
to odor nuisances.
The Code Enforcement Division will investigate noise and odor nuisance
allegations and take enforcement action when appropriate. Reports of violations
will be forwarded to the Business Licensing Division for action when appropriate.
*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.

September 12, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
The Code Enforcement Division will investigate traffic and access obstruction
allegations and take enforcement action when appropriate. Reports of violations
will be forwarded to the Business Licensing Division for action when appropriate.
*6. The use is allowed in the P-O, O, C-1, C-2 and C-PB Zoning Districts only in
connection with the residential component of a mixed-use development or in a
dwelling unit permitted as a legal nonconforming use.
This condition does not apply, as the subject site is not zoned P-O, O, C-1, C-2
or C-PB.
*7. The maximum occupancy of the residential dwelling unit shall not exceed the
limits provided for in LVMC 6.75.090.
8. 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).
The proposed use meets this requirement, as the subject property is 3,845 feet
from the nearest Short-Term Residential Rental use.
The applicant received planning approval through a Conditional Use Verification (CUV-
64283, issued on 04/18/16). However, a business license to conduct the use was
denied as a result of failure to pass a fire inspection and the applicant has not yet refiled
for a license. The property is located within a single-family residential subdivision. The
floor plan indicates the dwelling contains one story, four bedrooms and 1,308 square
feet. The property is legally nonconforming with respect to lot size; however, the
dwelling conforms to all R-1 (Single Family Residential) setbacks. The lot is
approximately 3,845 feet from the nearest Short-Term Residential Rental use.

Additional parking for a Short-Term Residential Rental is only required if the unit has
more than five bedrooms, at which point one additional space shall be required for
every two additional bedrooms or fractional portion thereof. The proposed Short-Term
Residential Rental has four bedrooms and therefore is not required to provide additional
parking.
The proposed use can be conducted in a manner that is harmonious and compatible
with the adjacent residential land uses. The use is in conformance with all minimum
Special Use Permit Requirements for the Short-Term Residential Rental use, including
the distance separation requirement from existing similar uses. Staff therefore
recommends approval with conditions. If denied, a business license to conduct the use
cannot be issued.
FINDINGS (SUP-71248)
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:
2. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use
proposed.
The subject site is physically suitable for the use as a Short-Term Residential
Rental.
The proposed Short-Term Residential Rental use will be accessed from Sawyer
Avenue, a 51-foot wide local street, which will provide adequate access for 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.

Pursuant to Title 19.12, a Short-Term Residential Rental use is permitted in the R-1

The applicant will not comply with the owner occupancy requirements and bedroom
limitations of the conditional use regulations and per Title 19.12.040 must receive
approval of a Special Use Permit in order to obtain a business license to operate a
short-term residential rental.
The applicant received planning approval twice through a Conditional Use
Verification (CUV-67362, issued on 10/20/16 and CUV-69069, issued on 04/10/17).
However, a business license to conduct the use has not been issued.
The applicant is required to schedule an inspection through the Department of
Planning Code Enforcement Division. The inspection must be approved prior to
the issuance of the business license.
ANALYSIS
The subject property contains a single-family dwelling, is zoned R-1 (Single Family
Residential) and is subject to Title 19 requirements. The dwelling contains three
bedrooms and two bathrooms per Clark County Assessor records. The site also
contains a detached accessory structure of approximately 150 square feet, for which no
permit is required. The Short-Term Residential Rental definition specifically prohibits
the rental or occupancy of an accessory structure (Class I or II), a tent, a trailer or a
mobile unit. Staff has included a recommended condition that includes that restriction.
A Short-Term Residential Rental use is permitted in the R-1 (Single Family Residential)

unit or one or more individual rooms within 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. For purposes of this Title, this
use does not include the rental or occupancy of an accessory structure (Class I or II), a
tent, a trailer or a mobile unit. In the case of a single parcel containing more than one
dwelling unit, each dwelling unit constitutes a separate short-term residential rental
use. Per the applicants justification letter date stamped on 08/01/17, the
applicant/owner is requesting to rent out the entire dwelling for periods of less than 31
days. The dwelling would not be used as a Community Residence or other type of
group home. The dwelling contains three bedrooms and two bathrooms. According to
the applicant, exit signs, fire extinguishers, smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms
are all installed. In addition, the pool area has been secured.
The Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements for this use include: (The requirements
marked with an asterisk cannot be waived.)
*1. The operator must obtain a business license to operate the use.

prior to Ordinance 6585, which requires the dwelling to be owner occupied in order to
be conditionally approved. As noted above, the dwelling is not intended to be owner-

nearest existing Short-Term Residential Rental use.

Per Title 19.18.010, this request qualifies as a Project of Regional Significance, given
that it is a Special Use Permit application concerning property located within 500 feet of
the boundary of unincorporated Clark County. Pursuant to Title 19.16.010(F), the

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The following is an annual report on the Las Vegas 2020 Master Plan. Pursuant to
Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) 278.190, the Planning Commission is required to
review the plan and its implementation progress annually.
The Las Vegas 2020 Master Plan is in compliance with NRS as all required components
of the plan have been addressed. Approximately 97% (539 out of 553) of all the Master
Plans goals, objectives, policies and actions have been either completed or are
ongoing.
For the Commissions information, the progress of the Citys four Walkable Community
Plans is also included with this report.

ANALYSIS
The fiscal year 2016-17 review indicates that the 2020 Master Plan Policy Document is
100% implemented. Fiscal year 2016-17 analysis indicates that the overall number of
completed items increased from 45 (24%) to 51 (27%), and ongoing items were
correspondingly reduced from 144 (76%) to 138 (73%).
The 2020 Master Plan is nearing the end of its life cycle, and some of the ongoing items
are perpetual and will not achieve a completed status. With the development of the
upcoming citywide master plan, staff will seek to reduce or consolidate the number of
goals, objectives and policies and move toward measurable achievements that can
better provide direction and guidance to the City in the future.
Preliminary preparations for the development of a new citywide master plan has begun,
and it is expected that the new master plan effort will commence in early 2018. The
completion date for the new master plan document is anticipated by the summer of
2019.

In counties with a population of 700,000 or more, state law requires the master plan to
address eight different subject areas, and they are identified within the document as
elements. The City has been in compliance with this requirement since 2009. The
chart below highlights the existing elements, the number of policy recommendations,
and the most recent date of adoption or update.
At the 2013 Nevada State Legislature, Senate Bill 55 was passed which reduced the
number of master plan elements required by the Nevada Revised Statues from 18 to
eight. It was anticipated that the current number of existing elements would continue to
be consolidated as they were updated; however, at this late stage of the 2020 Master
Plans life cycle, no additional element updates are planned until the development of the
upcoming citywide master plan.

September 12, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
Fiscal year 2016-17 analysis indicates that the overall number of completed items
increased from 59 (16%) to 76 (21%), which can be primarily attributed to the adoption
of the Vision 2045 Downtown Master Plan and the City of Las Vegas Mobility Master
Plan, as well as the completion of several sustainably related policy goals. Non-
completed items have remained the same at 14 (4%).
The remainder of the element goals, objectives, policies, and actions are those that are
currently on-going but have not been completed. This number has decreased from 291
(80%) to 274 (75%). As with the 2020 Master Plan Policy Document, many of the
ongoing items are perpetual, and will not achieve a completed status.
The four adopted neighborhood plans include the Sahara West Walkable Community
Plan, the Meadows Walkable Community Plan, the West Las Vegas Walkable
Community Plan, and the Rafael Rivera Walkable Community Plan.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT SUMMARY
This text amendment request is for the discussion and possible action to amend the
LVMC Title 19, Unified Development Code (UDC) of the City of Las Vegas by removing
all references to the DCP-O Downtown Centennial Plan Overlay District and the
affiliated Downtown Centennial Plan and replacing those references with the newly
adopted Vision 2045 Downtown Las Vegas Masterplan and related DTLV-O Downtown
Las Vegas Overlay District.
ANALYSIS
The City of Las Vegas Downtown Centennial Plan was originally adopted by the City
Council on July 5th, 2000. In the 17 years since the plan adoption, many changes in
urban development trends have brought about the necessity for updating and
expanding the Las Vegas Downtown Centennial Plan. Through a substantial two year
planning effort, the new Vision 2045 Downtown Las Vegas Masterplan was recently
adopted by the City Council in June of 2016 with the goal of expanding the plan area
and updating the master plan to meet the growing urban demands for the next 30 years.
In 2011, the City Council adopted the Unified Development Code (UDC) for the city of
Las Vegas to consolidate the citys subdivision and zoning codes into one
comprehensive development code. In developing the new code, the inclusion of
Special Area and Overlay Districts that establish special zoning regulations to support
the unique character of those areas was formalized. It is this Chapter of the Municipal
Code, Title 19.10.110, that enables the Vision 2045 Downtown Las Vegas Masterplan
Area to maintain separate development standards that are aligned with the unique
urban nature of the area. This proposed amendment is the first step in creating the
formal path to implementing the 30-year vision laid out in the Vision 2045 Downtown
Las Vegas Masterplan.
FINDINGS
Remove the DCP-O Downtown Centennial Plan Overlay District from the UDC
and replace with the DTLV-O Downtown Las Vegas Overlay District.
Remove references to the Downtown Centennial Plan from the UDC and replace
with the Vision 2045 Downtown Las Vegas Master Plan and the Interim
Downtown Las Vegas Urban Form Standards, which are encapsulated within the
Implementing Regulations of the Master Plan.

I. Vision and Purpose
A. Vision
The Vision 2045 Downtown Las Vegas Masterplan is the policy document that states the goals
and strategies set forth by the City of Las Vegas for the downtown region. The Vision 2045
Downtown Las Vegas Masterplan envisions and encourages downtown Las Vegas to achieve a
compact, vibrant, urban environment, with a focus on higher density mixed-use development
around transit hubs and activity nodes. This will deliver an energetic urban way of life and high-
quality physical environment for locals and visitors alike. This vision is implemented through the
Downtown Las Vegas Overlay (DTLV-O) as described in this document.
B. Purpose
On July 15, 2016 the Las Vegas City Council adopted the Vision 2045 Downtown Las Vegas
Masterplan by Resolution R-25-2016. To implement the Vision 2045 Downtown Las Vegas
Masterplan, this document supersedes and replaces the DCP-O Downtown Centennial Plan
Overlay, and establishes the DTLV-O Downtown Las Vegas Overlay.
C. Geographic Area
The DTLV-O Downtown Las Vegas Overlay shall apply in the area identified as Downtown in the
Vision 2045 Downtown Las Vegas Masterplan as adopted by City Council by Resolution R-25-2016
on July 15, 2016, and amended by TXT-66412 by the Planning Commission on September 13,
2016 (see Figure 1). See the official Zoning Map Atlas for the exact location of properties currently
under the Downtown Las Vegas Overlay.
D. Phasing
The DTLV-O encompasses the twelve Downtown Districts as identified in the Vision 2045
Downtown Las Vegas Masterplan and described in Chapter II of this document. Phased over time,
each of these twelve Districts will be administered by a distinct set of standards to be adopted as
either part of Urban Form Zoning Districts or Special Area Plans following the completion of a
context-based plan for land use and development. District-specific standards are categorized
within Area 3 of the DTLV-O Downtown Las Vegas Overlay, as defined in Section I.D of this
Chapter. In the absence of context-based district-specific standards, the Downtown standards
for Area 1 or Area 2, as defined in Section D of this Chapter, will apply, based on the site location
(see Figure 2).
3|Page
Figure 1. See the official Zoning Map Atlas for the exact location of properties currently under
the DTLV Overlay.
4|Page
The DTLV-O Downtown Las Vegas Overlay (Fig. 1) is divided amongst three distinct areas: Area 1,
Area 2, and Area 3 (Fig. 2).
Area 1. This Area has already been established as part of Downtown Las Vegas by the previous
document Downtown Centennial Plan and the DCP-O Downtown Centennial Plan Overlay.
Area 2. This Area has been identified as part of downtown following the adoption of the Vision
2045 Downtown Las Vegas Masterplan and the expansion of the previous Downtown Centennial
Plan boundary. Because of the peripheral location relative to Area 1, and the different existing
urban context, Area 2 is recognized as a distinct area.
Area 3. The downtown areas identified as Area 3 have specific context-based development
regulations that support the desired vision for future development, in the form of either Urban
Form Zoning Districts or Special Area Plans.
a. The Las Vegas Medical District, as defined in the Las Vegas Medical District Plan adopted
by City Council on June 19, 2002.
b. The Symphony Park District, as defined by the Symphony Park Design Standards adopted
by Ordinance No. 6311 by City Council on April 2, 2014.

E. Applicability
The DTLV-O Downtown Las Vegas Overlay conforms to the General Plan of the City of Las Vegas,
and is hereby incorporated into the City's Vision 2045 Downtown Las Vegas Master Plan by way
of Ordinance Ord. No. XX, adopted (date). The Interim Downtown Las Vegas Urban Form
Standards supersedes and replaces the Downtown Las Vegas Centennial Plan as adopted by
Ordinance by City Council on July 5, 2000.
The DTLV-O Downtown Las Vegas Overlay complements and coordinates with the
Redevelopment Plan for the Downtown Las Vegas Redevelopment Area, as adopted March 5,
1986, and amended thereafter.
All development plans within the DTLV-O area (Figure. 1) shall comply with the adopted DTLV-O
Downtown Las Vegas Overlay as well as all other applicable regulations in the city, county, state
and Federal jurisdictions. These standards are not intended to override or contradict the city of
Las Vegas codes or requirements. Where differences occur, the most stringent shall apply in all
cases.
G. Amendment Process
Amendment(s) to the Standards outlined within the DTLV-O Downtown Las Vegas Overlay may
be made via the Text Amendment process.
H. Review Process
The DTLV-O is composed of three (3) distinct areas. Each Area has a particular variety of land
uses, density, and urban characteristics demonstrated by the existing building fabric it contains
and the redevelopment opportunities it presents. The continuity of general design standards and
streetscape design will weave the unique neighborhoods together into a continuous downtown
urban experience. Goals have been identified for each district to reestablish Downtown Las Vegas
with a balance of cultural, residential, office, civic, retail and light industrial areas, consistent with
the Vision 2045 Downtown Las Vegas Masterplan. For the purpose of establishing the Area
boundaries, wherever the boundary of a district is identified as a particular street or other right-
of-way, the district shall extend to the centerline of that street or right-of-way, unless specifically
indicated otherwise.

1. Except as otherwise provided in this subchapter, the review process of Planning
Applications is as set forth in Title 19.16 of the Las Vegas Municipal Code.
2. Waiver. Where specific development standards cannot be met, the applicant shall require
the approval of a Waiver.
a. Requirements
Waivers to the Design Standards contained within the DTLV-O Downtown Las Vegas Overlay may
only be granted in accordance with 19.16.100 with clear and convincing evidence of development
feasibility, or to further the City's goals as expressed in the Vision 2045 Downtown Masterplan.
b. Land Use
No waivers shall be granted to allow a land use that is not permitted within a particular zoning
district or urban form zone.

8. Las Vegas Medical District
Goal: The center of health, education, and research for Southern Nevada
Description: With proximity to the core as a significant employment node, the Las Vegas Medical
District (LVMD) shows great potential for driving the medical-oriented economy while
complementing other districts of Downtown. Several millions of square feet of development are
proposed, creating a mixed use, walkable, and healthy neighborhood through several
reinvestment strategies, including focusing mixed-use development along major streets,
reinforcing green linkages, and completion of a convenient transit line linking the LVMD to the
Civic & Business and Resort & Casino districts, as well as UNLV and McCarran International
Airport. The UNLV Medical School will function as the primary anchor for activity in this District.
For further details, refer to the Las Vegas Medical District Plan.
Detailed standards for zoning districts and land uses in the Las Vegas Medical District have been
established through the adoption of the Las Vegas Medical district Plan, and therefore there is
no table for Non compatible Title 19 Zoning Districts. Instead, for the list of allowed and
prohibited land uses within the LVMD refer to Table 1 of the Las Vegas Medical District Plan
LVMD Permitted Uses.

IV. Outdoor dining and entertainment standards
2. Requirements
a. Outdoor dining is only allowed within Area 1 of the DTLV-O Downtown Las Vegas Overlay
(Figure 4) in conjunction with a licensed food or beverage establishment permanently located at
the subject site. This section does not apply to open air vendors, food carts, and food trucks.
B. Standards
Outdoor dining otherwise permitted within the underlying zoning district may be permitted to
take place within a public sidewalk area, private property, or similar pedestrian area, but only in
accordance with the Outdoor Dining Standards. The location requirements as well as the barrier
requirements are set forth in section 1 and 2 of this subsection. Unless otherwise specified in this
Section, the following standards shall apply to outdoor dining in public sidewalk areas as well as
on private property.
1. Location
a. Public Sidewalks. Outdoor dining may occur only as an accessory use to a food or
beverage establishment and may be permitted only in the public sidewalk or similar pedestrian
area immediately adjacent to the front of the establishment. The dining area may not extend
53 | P a g e
beyond the boundaries of the abutting property and shall not be located in a manner that
interferes with the building egress and ingress as required by the International Building Code
(IBC). No outdoor dining area may be located within twenty feet of an intersection or within ten
feet of a driveway or alley. Where approved by the Department of Public Works, outdoor dining
in a public sidewalk or similar pedestrian area may occupy up to two thirds of the total width of
the sidewalk or available pedestrian area. In the case of a sidewalk or similar pedestrian area up
to 15 feet wide, there shall remain a minimum pedestrian clearance of five feet. For sidewalks or
similar pedestrian areas with a greater width, the minimum pedestrian clearance is eight feet.
This minimum clearance area must occur between any outdoor dining and a continuous line that
represents where sidewalk or pedestrian area obstructions are located. Such obstructions
include without limitation tree planters, landscape planters, street furniture, streetlight poles,
utility poles, fire hydrants, sign posts, and permitted news racks.
b. Private Property
Outdoor dining may occur only as an accessory use to a food or beverage establishment, and
shall only be permitted on private property, except as otherwise allowed under this section. The
outdoor dining or seating areas shall not extend onto adjacent properties or rights-of-way. The
outdoor dining or seating areas shall not be located in a manner that interferes with building
egress and ingress as required by the International Building Code (IBC).
2. Roofing
Will be addressed on a case-by-case basis.
3. Furniture
All furnishings within an outdoor dining area shall be movable and made of sturdy, durable and
commercial grade material. They shall be designed to complement the design theme of the
business. Ordinary plastic lawn chairs and tables and similar furniture are not acceptable.
4. Trash Enclosures
a. Public Sidewalks.
Trash receptacles are not permitted within the outdoor dining area or the adjacent public
sidewalk.
5. Lighting
a. Public Sidewalks.
Lighting, when provided, shall be shielded and of low wattage so as to illuminate only the outdoor
dining area and so as to avoid producing glare that has a negative impact on pedestrian traffic,
surrounding properties or rights-of-way. The design of the light fixtures shall be compatible with
the architectural theme of the building and business.
6. Maintenance
54 | P a g e
Outdoor dining and seating areas shall be kept in good state of repair and maintained in a clean,
safe and sanitary condition. Any item of furniture or equipment that is broken, rusting, degraded,
torn, or tattered shall be removed promptly. The outdoor dining area must be swept and mopped
every night after closing, and kept clean of food or other refuse.
C. Encroachment Approval
Any dining or entertainment to take place within the public right-of-way shall require approval
of a license agreement to encroach as approved by Public Works Staff or an agreement pursuant
to LVMC 13.32.065.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request to amend LVMC Title 19.12.070 by adding a minimum Special Use
Permit requirement to the Liquor Establishment (Tavern) use that would allow a Waiver
of the distance separation requirements for establishments that would be licensed as
General On-Sale establishments, pursuant to Title 6.50.060. LVMC Title 6.50.020 will
also be amended to provide a definition of what constitutes an Amusement Theme
Park.
ANALYSIS
Under current code requirements in the City of Las Vegas, establishments wishing to
operate under a General On-Sale business license must first obtain a corresponding land
use approval for the sale of alcohol. In order to provide full-service alcohol sales, that land
use approval is a Special Use Permit for a Liquor Establishment (Tavern) use, which has
minimum distance separation requirements that may only be waived under certain
circumstances. The establishments eligible for a General On-Sale license are usually
larger scale operations that generally do not have the same secondary impacts on the
adjacent developments as a traditional tavern due to the nature and location of the use.
SG
TXT-71338
Staff Report Page Two
September 12, 2017 - Planning Commission Meeting
This amendment would add a definition in Title 6.50.020 to define what constitutes an
amusement theme park:
Amusement theme park means a business which has at least one hundred
thousand (100,000) square feet of public floor space, is operated on a permanent
basis, and is designed to provide amusement, pleasure or relaxation and
promotes some theme, motif or concept, including rides, roller coasters, arcade
or game rooms, interactive entertainment center for entertainment or amusement
of the public, together with any incidental sale of refreshments, food, beverages
(non-alcoholic and alcoholic), gifts or novelties.
A Minimum Special Use Permit Requirement will be added to the Liquor Establishment
(Tavern) use to allow a waiver of the distance separation from protected uses to be
requested at a location that will be licensed as a General On-Sale Establishment. This
would allow the City of Las Vegas to approve the sale of alcohol for consumption on the
premises of a limited number of well-defined establishments that are generally large scale
operations where the sale of alcohol is ancillary to the primary use. Additional conditions
regarding the sale of alcohol could be imposed as needed on either the Special Use
Permit or the business license, whichever is more appropriate.
These changes will allow the City of Las Vegas flexibility and discretion regarding the
permitting and licensing of the sale of alcohol for on premise consumption at venues that
provide entertainment to Las Vegas residents and visitors on a larger scale, where the
sale of the alcohol is ancillary to the primary use. Currently, these types of venues are
limited in where they may locate due to the distance separation restrictions.
FINDINGS
1. With the approval of a Special Use Permit, allow the sale of full alcohol for on-
premise consumption to be approved at specified locations that meet certain criteria
where the sale of alcohol is ancillary to the primary use.
2. Add a Minimum Special Use Permit Requirement to LVMC Title 19.12 for the Liquor
Establishment (Tavern) use that would allow a Waiver of the distance separation
requirements for establishments to be licensed as a General On-Sale establishment,
pursuant to Title 6.50.060.
3. Add a definition to LVMC Title 6.50.020 for an amusement theme park.

An establishment, other than a grocery store with alcohol, whose license to sell
alcoholic beverages authorizes their sale to consumers only and not for resale, in
original sealed or corked containers, for consumption off the premises where the
same are sold. This use includes an establishment that provides on-premises
wine, cordial and liqueur tasting if the licensee also holds a wine, cordial and
liqueur tasting license for that location. This land use entitlement shall only permit

*b. Except as otherwise provided, no liquor store shall be located within 1000
feet of any other liquor store, liquor establishment (tavern), urban lounge
or sexually oriented business.
* 2. Except as otherwise provided in Requirement 3 below, the distances referred
to in Requirement 1 shall be determined with reference to the shortest
distance between two property lines, one being the property line of the
proposed establishment which is closest to the existing use to which the
measurement pertains, and the other being the property line of that existing
use which is closest to the proposed establishment. The distance shall be
measured in a straight line without regard to intervening obstacles. For
purposes of measurement, the term property line refers to property lines of
fee interest parcels and does not include the property line of:
a. Any leasehold parcel; or
b. Any parcel which lacks access to a public street or has no area for on-site
parking and which has been created so as to avoid the distance limitation
described in Requirement 1.
* 3. In the case of an establishment proposed to be located on a parcel of at least
80 acres in size, the minimum distances referred to in Requirement 1 shall be
measured in a straight line:
a. From the nearest property line of the existing use to the nearest portion of
the structure in which the establishment will be located, without regard to
intervening obstacles; or
b. In the case of a proposed establishment which will be located within a
shopping center or other multiple tenant structure, from the nearest
property line of the existing use to the nearest property line of a leasehold
or occupancy parcel in which the establishment will be located, without
regard to intervening obstacles.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request to amend LVMC Title 19.12.010 Table 2 and 19.12.070 by adding
Package Liquor Off-Sale Establishment as a use that can be permitted within the C-
PB (Planned Business Park) zoning district by means of a Special Use Permit. It would
allow a waiver of the distance separation requirements to be requested under specified
circumstances and limit the use as ancillary within the C-PB zoning district by adding
Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements. This request would also amend LVMC
6.50 to add a new section 6.50.090 Alcoholic beverage license Ancillary Craft
Distillery, as well as associated fees to the table in section 6.50.360.
ANALYSIS
Under current code requirements in the City of Las Vegas, a liquor manufacturer that
operates as a Craft Distillery pursuant to NRS 597 cannot provide samples of the products
that they produce, nor sell them directly to the public without the approval of a Special Use
Permit for a Package Off-Sale Liquor Establishment. Approval of this type of Special Use
Permit is subject to certain distance separation requirements regarding churches, schools,
child care facilities, city parks, liquor stores, liquor establishments (taverns) and sexually
oriented businesses. These requirements severely limit the locations available for the use.
The Package Liquor Off-Sale use is currently not permitted in the C-PB zoning district;
however, a liquor manufacturer may be permitted if the operation qualifies as a Light
Manufacturing use. This amendment would allow the Package Liquor Off-Sale use to be
permitted in the C-PB district via approval of a Special Use Permit, but would limit the use
by a non-waivable Special Use Permit Requirement as ancillary to a Craft Distillery as
defined in NRS 597.
Generally, Craft Distilleries have a limited scope of operation in that sales of product may
not exceed certain quantity thresholds, as defined in NRS 597. These facilities are also
limited to sales of products that are made by the manufacturer. Because the scope of the
operation is so limited, the secondary impacts on the surrounding development, including
protected uses, are minimal. In addition, this amendment will bring the City of Las Vegas
into alignment with NRS regarding the Craft Distillery use.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request to amend LVMC Title 19.12.010 Table 2 and 19.12.070 by adding
Animal Keeping and Husbandry as a conditional use within the R-1 (Single Family
Residential) and R-MH (Mobile/Manufactured Home) zoning districts. It will restrict the
use to lots developed for single-family residences and provide additional conditional use
regulations and minimum Special Use Permit requirements.
ANALYSIS
This amendment would conditionally allow up to five chickens to be kept for the production
of eggs for personal consumption on lots developed with single-family residences within
the R-1 (Single Family Residential) and R-MH (mobile/Manufactured Home) zoning
districts. Conditional use regulations and minimum Special Use Permit requirements have
been added to ensure that the coops are constructed in conformance to the requirements
of Title 19.06 for accessory structures, with an additional requirement for separation from a
primary residence on any adjacent lots, and to ensure that the coops and yard will be
maintained in a clean, safe manner. It further clarifies that roosters are not permitted in
any zoning district. While conditionally allowing the Animal Keeping and Husbandry use
within the R-1 and R-MH districts, this amendment does not allow the keeping of other,
larger domestic animals, such as goats or sheep, nor does it allow the keeping of non-
domestic animals within those districts.
FINDINGS
1. It adds the Animal Keeping and Husbandry use as a conditional use in the R-1 and
R-MH zoning districts on lots that are developed for single family residences. In the
R-MH zoning district, mobile home parks are excluded.
2. It limits the use to the keeping of five chickens (hens only) solely for the production
of eggs for personal consumption (not for sale or slaughter). Larger numbers of
chickens could be approved via a Special Use Permit.

4. Prohibits non-domestic animals (i.e. wild or exotic animals) in the R-1 and R-MH
zoning districts.
5. Provides additional standards regarding coop structures and property maintenance
requirements.
6. Adds minimum Special Use Permit requirements for the Animal Keeping and
Husbandry use.
