Planning and Zoning Manager Eastman noted that Item No. 3, ZN-17-2020, Item No. 4, VAC-09-2020, and Item No. 5, T-Map-10-2020 were related and would be presented together and voted on separately. He stated that ZN-17-2020 was a request to reclassify the site from an R-E Ranch Estates District to an R-1 Single-Family Low Density District on approximately 4.15 acres at the southeast corner of Washburn Road and Commerce Street. He noted that the Comprehensive Master Plan Land Use designation is Mixed-Use Neighborhood. He stated that the applicant proposed a 22-lot single-family development and that the surrounding land uses currently consisted of single-family residential subdivisions to the north, south, east and west. He noted that the proposed R-1 Single-Family Low Density District required lots with a minimum area
of 6,000 square feet which is similar to the surrounding residential lots. He stated that the applicant held a neighborhood meeting but no neighbors attended the meeting. Staff did not anticipate any adverse impacts on existing neighboring subdivisions and recommended approval. He stated that VAC-09-2020 was a request to vacate the northerly 30 feet of Rosada Way located approximately 600 feet south of Washburn Road, extending from Commerce Street approximately 300 feet to the east and was generally located along the south end of the site. He stated that previously, the City Council approved the vacation of Rosada Way to the east associated with a development of 94 single-family residential lots. He noted that the applicant’s letter of intent stated that the vacation request supported the proposed tentative map to develop 22 single-family residential lots. Staff recommended approval. He noted that T-Map-10-2020 was a request for a tentative map in a proposed R-1 Single-Family Low Density District and was related to the previous items. He stated that the proposed tentative map showed single-family lots that ranged in size from a minimum of 6,000 square feet to a maximum of 9,000 square feet. The applicant proposed access to the site from two drives; one from Washburn Road and one from Commerce Street. He noted that the internal streets were proposed to be public streets 47-foot in width with a five-foot sidewalk on both sides. He stated that according to the applicant’s letter of intent, the development would include five model plans with multiple elevations ranging from 1,750 square feet to 3,166 square feet. He noted that the Public Works Department has reviewed the proposed tentative map and recommended conditions that could require a redesign to the tentative map due to a fault line that appears to bisect lots making them unsuitable for residential development, specifically Lots 11, 12 and 15. Staff recommended approval subject to conditions.
Mark Bangan, The WLB Group, 3663 E. Sunset Road, Suite 204, Las Vegas, represented the applicant and concurred with staff’s conditions and he was available for any additional questions.

Principal
Planner Michaels presented the item and stated that the applicant requested
Planning Commission consideration for a maximum eight foot and seven inches
high retaining wall where six feet is the maximum allowed in an M-2 General
Industrial District. She noted that the retaining wall height ranges from 5.3
feet up to 8.7 feet and
back down to 4.7 feet. She stated that the request to increase the retaining
wall height is due to grading the site at the minimum allowed while maintaining
an outlet onto Range Road. The future development of the adjacent parcel will
allow the low points to
be filled in for proper drainage and then the retaining wall height will be
below the six foot maximum height allowed. Staff recommended approval.

Planning
and Zoning Manager Eastman presented the item and stated the request was made
by the City to amend various provisions in Title 17, Zoning Ordinance to help
streamline the development process, eliminate unused sections and clarify
sections within the code. He noted that the ordinance contained 22 sections
and will add a 23rd section. Staff proposed changes to the
procedures regarding rezonings and waivers. He stated that currently, if a
rezoning request was denied by the Planning Commission it only proceeded to the
City Council if appealed. Rezoning requests with a recommendation for approval
are automatically forwarded to the City Council for final action. Rezoning
requests for Planned Unit Development, Planned Infill Development and all
Comprehensive Land Use Amendments are forward to the City Council for final
action with a recommendation by the Planning Commission for approval or
denial. The proposed modification of all rezoning applications will be treated
in a similar manner
with the Planning Commission as a recommending body and forwarded to the City
Council for final action. He stated that changes to the procedures for waivers
would
make the Planning Commission the decision making body. He noted that normally,
waivers accompany Site Plan Reviews or Tentative Maps. The modification will
allow
developers to start projects more quickly. He stated there were numerous
changes made to the permitted use table to help clarify and reduce duplication
within the Municipal Code. He reviewed other modifications that were being
made to the ordinance that would eliminate conflicts and discrepancies to the
Municipal Code. He
stated that the proposed additional section dealt with increasing the light
pole height in Apex from 30 feet to 50 feet to better meet the conditions in
the Apex area which is
designed for heavy industrial buildings and developments. He noted that the
maximum building height in the Apex Overlay District is 60 feet so the increased
height for the light poles would remain in conformity to the buildings.
Chairman Kraft opened the public hearing and having no callers or written comments, he closed the public hearing.
In response to a question from Commissioner Calhoun, Planning and Zoning Manager Eastman stated that setbacks were determined by districts and specific uses. He provided several examples for a better understanding of how setbacks were determined in different areas.
Commissioner Berrett thanked Planning and Zoning Manager Eastman for the time spent and his efforts on the proposed ordinance. He expressed concern regarding the removal of the 500-foot separation requirement for full liquor off-sale uses (liquor stores). Planning and Zoning Manager Eastman stated that the specific language referred to liquor stores and the reason for the change was reflected by the actions of the Planning Commission and City Council when waivers from the distance requirements were approved. Staff felt eliminating the requirement for liquor stores was warranted. The change would not affect any of the other separation requirements such as taverns and bars.
Land Development and Community Services Director Jordan stated none of the other jurisdictions had separation requirements from residential and the change would bring the City’s Municipal Code in alignment with the other jurisdictions.
In response to a question from Commissioner Calhoun, Planning and Zoning Manager Eastman confirmed that the Planning Commission vote would be reflected in the reports for the City Council meeting.
Commissioner Berrett expressed concern regarding the 1:1 ratio for parking at apartment complexes. Planning and Zoning Manager Eastman stated that the ratio was for senior housing developments only and would not affect parking standards for any other multi-family or apartment developments.
