Planning and Zoning Manager Eastman
presented the item and stated that the applicant is requesting approval of a major site plan with the
intent to develop a 269-unit multi-family apartment complex on approximately
7.11 net acres. The subject site consists of a portion of the partially
developed Maya Cinema commercial site. He stated that the site plan indicates that the
development will consist of four multi-family apartment buildings, a clubhouse
building and a large pool / recreation complex. According the applicant’s
letter of intent, the development consists of 270 dwelling units, however to
provide
additional recreation space, one unit has been converted into indoor recreation
space for the residents in building “A” reducing the number to 269 units. He
continued by stating that the proposed buildings will contain a combination of
195 one-bedroom, 44 two-bedroom units, and 30 three-bedroom units.
Planning and Zoning Manager Eastman stated that normally the development would need parking as follows; one bedroom requires 1.5 spaces per unit; two bedroom requires 2 parking spaces per unit, three bedroom requires 2.5 spaces per unit and 0.25 spaces guest parking spaces per unit. This would equal a total of 523 parking spaces. With the approval of the 25% reduction the required parking is 393 spaces. He continued by stating that the site plan contains 400 parking spaces and is in compliance with the parking requirements. Code requires that each unit has one covered parking space, the site plan identifies 262 covered parking spaces, and the development will be required to add a carport for the additional seven spaces. He stated that the carports are required to use the same color and materials as the main buildings and will be reviewed at the time of building permits. The proposed development received a waiver (WAV-02-2021) of the required parking on March 10, 2021.
Planning and Zoning Manager Eastman stated that floor plans for the buildings were provided; most units have a minimum of 40 square foot balcony or an 80 square foot patio. The studio units identified as S1 (45 units) do not appear to provide balconies, and will need to be amended to provide the required balcony. Staff recommended approval subject to conditions.
Mr. Bill Fisher, 14841 Dallas Parkway, Dallas Texas represented the applicant and was available for questions.
Chairman Warner opened the public hearing and having no requests to speak, closed the public hearing.

Planning and Zoning Manager Eastman presented
Item Nos. 4 (AMP-13-2021), 5 (ZN-19-2021), 6 (WAV-04-2021) and 7 (SPR-05-2021)
together but they would be voted on separately. He stated that Item No. 4, AMP-13-2021
is a request by the applicant for consideration to amend the Comprehensive Land
Use Map from Mixed-Use Neighborhood to Multi-Family Residential. He stated that the applicant’s letter
of intent states the land use amendment will allow a 422-unit multi-family
residential development with a density of 25 dwelling units per acre. The
Multi-Family residential designation is located throughout the city, typically
along a major street and near higher intensity uses such as commercial and
employment. He continued by stating that the subject site is located at the
intersection of two major arterials. North 5th Street, in addition
to being a 150-foot street, is a planned transit corridor. Located north of
this subject site is the Deer
Springs Crossing and Deer Springs Town Center shopping centers. He stated that
these shopping centers include major anchors such as Kohl’s. Home Depot,
Michaels, Petsmart, Ross, Target and many others. The Comprehensive Master Plan
Map designates the surrounding land uses as Mixed Use Neighborhood and Mixed
Use Commercial. This area includes retail plazas, a major shopping district,
multi-family complexes and undeveloped land. The proposed Multi-Family land use is
compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. Staff recommended approval.
Planning and Zoning Manager Eastman stated that item no. 5, ZN-19-2021 is a request from the applicant for consideration to reclassify (rezone) the subject site from PUD (Planned Unit Development District) to R-3 (Multi-Family District) on approximately 16.89 acres. He stated that the purpose of the Multi-Family Residential District (R-3) is to provide for high-density (approximately 25 dwelling units per acre) housing in Multifamily structures. The R-3 district is designed to allow highly economical use of land while creating an attractive, functional, and safe residential environment. He continued by stating that the surrounding zoning classifications for the north, west and south are; C-2, General Commercial District and R-4, High Density Residential District; and PUD, Planned Unit Development District for the multi-family residential uses to the east. The proposed R-3, Multi-Family Residential District is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood.
Planning and Zoning Manager Eastman continued by stating that Item No. 6, WAV-04-2021 is a request by the applicant for Planning Commission consideration to allow a reduction of the parking requirements for a multi-family development located at the northeast corner of Centennial Parkway and North Fifth Street. The applicant is requesting a reduction of 88 off-street parking spaces. The subject parcel’s current zoning is PUD, Planned Unit Development District. He continued by stating that the proposed 422-unit development requires 884 off-street parking spaces and the applicant is providing 796 off-street parking spaces. The applicant is requesting the reduction in parking of approximately 10% due to the subject site’s close proximity to a proposed bus rapid transit line. He stated that the City’s parking requirements (17.24.040.I.2) allow a waiver of parking up to 25% of the number of parking spaces for multi-family developments located within ¼ mile of an existing or planned bus rapid transit route. North Fifth Street is a planned high-capacity transit corridor that will include a future bus rapid transit line once fully developed. Currently, the proposed development is located along the RTC’s Route 105, which provides regular bus service every 20 minutes and connects to the Bonneville Transit Center via Martin Luther King Boulevard and connects to the Deer Springs Crossing and Deer Springs Town Center regional shopping centers via North Fifth Street.
Planning and Zoning Manager Eastman stated
that according to the letter of intent, the
applicant states that the reduction in parking is appropriate because of the
subject site’s location on North Fifth Street and it is within walking distance
to numerous commercial uses. He stated that since the subject site is uniquely
located along a planned high capacity transit corridor and within close
proximity to several existing commercial
developments, the applicant’s proposed compensating benefits are particularly
appropriate and will encourage residents to take advantage of active
transportation modes (walking & bicycling). He continued by stating that the
additional street trees will increase the shade and comfort level along the
three perimeter streets for the residents walking to/from the bus stops and
shopping dining options in the neighborhood. He stated that the applicant is
also requesting a waiver of the landscape buffer along the eastern property
line. According to the letter of intent, the applicant will construct 13 garage
buildings set five feet back from the east property line. The applicant is
proposing to maintain the required ten foot landscape buffer along the east
property line where the garage buildings are not located and request a reduced five
landscape buffer where adjacent to the proposed garage buildings.
Planning and Zoning Manager Eastman continued by stating that the adjacent property is also a multi-family development. The adjacent property has a 20 foot landscape buffer along the property line. The Public Works Department has reviewed the waiver request and is recommending approval based on the waiver provisions allowed in the parking requirements. Staff recommended approval.
Planning and Zoning Manager Eastman stated that Item No. 7, SPR-05-2021 is a request by the applicant for approval of a major site plan with the intent to develop a 422-unit multi-family apartment complex on approximately 20.4 gross acres (16.89 net acres) at a density of approximately 20.7 dwelling units per net acre. He continued by stating that the submitted elevations contain four-sided architecture and appear to be in compliance with the Multi-Family Design Standards. The applicant is proposing three story buildings that are 35-feet in height. The applicant has provided 75 percent of the required open space within one useable area and is in compliance with the open space standards. He stated that the proposed request is generally consistent with the requirements of the Multi-Family Design Standards. The proposed request is compatible with the surrounding land uses and should not create a negative impact on the neighborhood. Staff recommended approval.
Joseph Dagher, 1980 Festival Plaza Drive, Suite 650, Las Vegas, represented the applicant and provided clarification to the proposed development. He continued by stating that a neighborhood meeting was held on July 27, 2021 and eight residents attended. The residents in attendance raised concerns regarding affected views, and business operations of the apartment complex. He continued by stating that a line of sight analysis was conducted and the residents were advised that views are not a protected legal right in Nevada. Additionally, he stated that in comparison to the previously approved project in 2005, this project offers less visual restrictions for surrounding residents. He stated that a concern was raised by a resident in attendance regarding the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) roundabout on North 5th Street, which would require the RTC’s consideration.
Chairman Warner opened the public hearing and having no requests to speak, closed the public hearing.

Chairman Warner opened the public hearing.
Mr. Mark House, 908 Echo Beach Ave, North Las Vegas, NV stated that he attended the community meeting and is in support of the majority of items. He continued by stating that the development should include a transit component. The bus stop currently in place does not encompass a bus turnout, unlike similar developments nearby. He stated that the On Board Mobility Plan recently adopted by the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) which included North 5th Street, set the transit conditions for Las Vegas Valley in the next 30 years. He continued by stating that in accordance with the On Board Mobility Plan, transit should be planned and built into projects, and the need for safer bus stops. He asked that a condition of approval be included to discuss a resolution with the RTC.
Chairman Warner closed the public hearing.
Chairman Warner asked Staff about RTC’s position on the subject.
Traffic Engineer Reesman responded that the RTC’s offsite improvements project included a bus lane for North 5th street, which includes a bus stop.
Commissioner Calhoun asked whether the plans to build a bus lane on North 5th Street is included in the RTC’s bus turnout redevelopment.
Traffic Engineer Reesman responded that due to the width of North 5th Street, there are no plans to include a bus turnout. He continued by stating that bus turnouts are traditionally used on narrow streets, to allow buses to make their stop without impeding the flow of traffic.
Commissioner Riley thanked Mr. House for raising his concerns. He continued by expressing his concerns about whether bus stops in the community are Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) compliant.
Traffic Engineer Reesman responded that due to the expansion of bus stops throughout the Las Vegas Valley, new bus stops that are not ADA compliant would be addressed with the RTC.
Commissioner Kraft asked whether there was a condition of approval to address the concerns regarding transportation.
Planning and Zoning Manager Eastman responded that conditions number 12 and 13 include the concerns addressed.

Planning and Zoning Manager Eastman presented the item and stated that the applicant is requesting a tentative map in an M-2, General Industrial District for a one-lot commercial subdivision on approximately 42.68 acres. The subject site is generally located west and north of Interstate 15 and north of the North Belt Road alignment.
He stated that in 2011, the City participated in the development of the Floyd Edsall Training Center Joint Land Use Study (JLUS). The purpose of a Joint Land Use Study is to encourage cooperative planning between military operations and local governmental jurisdictions, and to provide appropriate tools and procedures, so that future growth and development are compatible with the mission of the military facility, as well as, with future development plans of local governments surrounding the military facility. He continued by stating that the JLUS states that industrial land uses are generally more compatible than most other land uses. Industrial land uses are generally compatible in terms of noise, vibration, dust, alternative energy use, air quality, and building height, to the existing National Guard facility. He stated that the Recommended Land Use and Development Scenario Map indicates that the preferred uses for the subject site are industrial uses. The proposed tentative map is consistent with the proposed land use and zoning for the subject site. The proposed tentative map is compatible with the planned industrial development within this portion of the City. Staff recommended approval subject to conditions.

Planning and Zoning Manager Eastman presented the item and stated that the applicant is requesting Planning Commission approval of a special use permit to allow a vehicle, boat or recreational vehicle sales, and rental facility (outdoor). The site is generally located at the northeast corner of North 5th Street and Craig Road on a portion of a 4.99 acre parcel. He stated that the proposed building elevations are generally in compliance with the commercial design standards. The applicant will be required to provide perimeter landscaping and a sidewalk along Craig Road. He continued by stating that the required perimeter landscaping is 15 feet including the five foot sidewalk centered within the landscaping. The site plan indicates 15 feet of landscaping plus an existing five foot sidewalk at back of curb adjacent to Craig Road. Since the sidewalk is existing it will be permitted to remain.

Planning and Zoning Manager Eastman presented the item and stated that the item was previously continued at the Planning Commission meeting on August 11, 2021 to allow the applicant to submit a revised tentative map. The revised tentative map contains 204 dwelling units in 68 triplexes, an increase of nine dwelling units from the previous tentative map. He stated that the proposed changes to the tentative map, include moving the internal street slightly which allows the applicant to add two additional triplexes to the northern portion of the site near the intersection of Elkhorn Road and Golden Buckwheat Drive, and a single additional triplex to the triangle shaped open space area. He continued by stating that these modifications will require the applicant to relocate an NV Energy easement and a gas easement. The required parking for townhomes is two spaces per unit. Therefore, the proposed development requires 408 off-street parking spaces. Each triplex contains two two-car garages and one single-car garage. He stated that the proposed tentative map is generally consistent with the Development Agreement land use plan, and zoning district for the Villages at Tule Springs. The lots, internal streets and trail connections can comply with the development standards for the master planned community with minor modifications. Staff recommended approval subject to conditions.
Stephanie Allen, Kaempfer Crowell, 1980 Festival Plaza Drive, Las Vegas represented the applicant, provided clarification to the proposed development and was available for questions.
