AMP-03-2022 MIXED USE COMMERCIAL - DENSITIES (Public Hearing). Applicant: City of North Las Vegas. Request: An Amendment to The Comprehensive Master Plan Specifically to Increase the Residential Density Range Within the Mixed-Use Commercial Land Use Category, and Providing for Other Matters Properly Related Thereto. (For Possible Action) |
Planning and Zoning Manager Eastman stated that currently, the Mixed Use Commercial land use designation allows for a maximum residential density up to 25 dwelling units per acre or 50 dwelling units per acre within one-quarter mile of a designated future transit station location. This amendment would allow a residential density range up to 50 dwelling units per acre when located within an Activity Center. The increase in density will allow greater flexibility and encourage a more diverse mix of housing options when Mixed Use Commercial is developed within an Activity Center. The Comprehensive Master Plan designated three Activity Centers. All three activity centers include portions of the North 5th Street Transit Corridor. The Activity Centers are Downtown North Las Vegas; North 5th Transit Corridor and Craig Ranch; and the Northern Development Area.
Therefore, staff feels that this increase is appropriate and they recommended that the resolution be approved and forwarded to City Council for final action.
Chairman Warner opened the public hearing and having no requests to speak, closed the public hearing.

Planning and Zoning Manager Eastman, stated that currently, these two parcels have a Comprehensive Master Plan land use designation for the subject site is Employment. The applicant is requesting the zoning to be in conformity and match what the land use specifies, which would be a use that is not residential. When reviewing the proposed application because the existing land use is employment, there are three classifications that would be appropriate. The M-1, Business Park Industrial District, CP Commercial Office or a Planned Unit Development. However, M-1, Business Park Industrial District is to accommodate light industrial uses, offices, and warehousing in a comprehensively planned and attractive setting while minimizing the amount of non-industrial uses (e.g., retail, religious institutions, and banks). The proposed light industrial park will act as a transition from the more intensive uses of the airport to the existing residential. Therefore, staff believes that the M-1, Business Park Industrial District does meet this criteria and would make a suitable buffer. Staff recommended approval of the proposed rezoning and to be forwarded to City Council for final action.
Bob Gronauer, 1980 Festival Plaza Drive, Suite 650, Las Vegas represented the applicant, Lincoln Property Group, and stated that he was there to conduct a presentation on three items. His presentation will incorporate information on items 4, 5, and 6 at the same time. Mr. Grouner presented a map to staff and commissioners that demonstrated the 86 acres of raw land and showed the landmark of the community, which is Windsor Park Residential sub-division. The parcel is adjacent to the North Las Vegas Airport and a residential area which is to the south and east. In 2009, Planning Commission recommended approval for a zone change application from R-1 (Single-Family Low Density District) to an M-1 (Business \Park Industrial District). He stated that the land use with this parcel was for employment. Mr. Grouner stated that the applicant meets these conditions since Carey Avenue and Simmons Street both have a 100 foot Right-Of-Way street.
He also stated that there are designated truck routes in North Las Vegas, Carey Avenue and Simmons Street are part of those designated streets. In addition, the construction process will yield about 500 jobs and once the project is completed, they estimate a growth of 1600 jobs in the area. These jobs will range anywhere from entry-level positions to Management positions. As stated previously by Mr. Eastman, this will serve as a transitional buffer in the area as it is proposed as a light industrial development. A few examples of future tenants are as follows:
· E-commerce
· Food and Beverage
· Third Party Logistics
· Distribution Center
· Line and Packaging Assembly
· Warehouse
· Research Development
· Telecom Date Center
In regards to item 5, Mr. Gronauer presented a tentative map and stated that the applicant would like to remove a Section of Cartier Avenue beginning at Simmons Street and extending east; approximately 795 feet. This will ensure that there is no truck circulation coming to the school area.
In regards to item 6, Mr. Gronauer presented a tentative map for a 1-lot commercial sub-division. He stated that this is fairly standard for all types of commercial type of development.
Mr. Gronauer stated that this is a unique application because there is a lot of history in this location. He presented another map that showed the 86 parcels and also showed the properties that are or were owned by the City of North Las Vegas during a study done in 2019. In this study, it showed that North Las Vegas City owned 134 parcels. 109 parcels were privately owned, and 92 were occupied, which adds up to 243 parcels with different types of ownerships. Mr. Gronauer stated that he held three separate neighborhood meetings. He thanked Councilwoman Pamela Goynes-Brown and State Senator Dina Neal for taking part and assisting in the neighborhood meetings. Mr. Gronauer stated that during the first meeting, 40 people attended, but only 20-24 actually lived in the area. The second meeting, 20 people attended.
Mr. Gronauer stated that the community partnership consists of addressing their concerns about preserving the history of Windsor Park. Therefore, the applicant has taken Councilwoman Pamela Goynes-Brown’s suggestion to brand the park and call it, Windsor Commerce Park. The applicant plans to use the Windsor History to create the parks theme. It will use Windsors Park’s artifacts and plaques that reflect its history. He stated that it is important to the applicant and the community to not lose part of that history. Secondly, Councilwoman Goynes-Brown has provided the contact information for local schools and churches in order for the applicant to become more involved in the community. In addition, Las Vegas Paving spends a lot of time and money keeping this location clean.
Mr. Gronauer also mentioned that this location will not have any residential units because of the soil. He stated that by having this development at this location, it will increase the property value in the area. He stated that what they are looking to do is build this location into a campus-type setting. They are proposing increased setbacks for buildings, landscaping, and architectural. In addition, he stated that North Las Vegas has an official track route. Most of the traffic would be going through Simmons/North South Route, which will then take traffic to Cheyenne Avenue and on to the Interstate 15. In addition, there will be more employment opportunities in this area after completion of the project. Mr. Gronauer was available for questions.
Chairman Warner stated that before opening the public forum he wanted to recognize that Nevada State Senator Dina Neal, has joined the Planning Commission Meeting.
Chairman Warner opened the public hearing.
Rashanda Stevens, 3409 E Cartier Ave North Las Vegas stated that she is representing someone else, but will not disclose the person’s name. She stated that her question is if the developer has already found tenants for the building and would the community be able to evaluate the future tenants. She stated that she provides consulting services and was not able to obtain a quote from the general contractors.
LaShona Weasly, 2304 W Cartier Ave North Las Vegas stated that there were three different neighborhood meetings. Two of the meetings were canceled and the third the applicant provided the incorrect date. She stated that she received a letter from the applicant stating that they will no longer be holding neighborhood meetings and if they would like to talk about the project they could attend the Planning Commission meeting. She stated that in 2019 she was informed by the builder that the land was sinking and no good. Therefore, they planned to develop a local park, but now they are planning to build commercial buildings.
Nevada State Senator Dina Neal, 3217 Brautigan Court, North Las Vegas stated that what Mr. Gronauer is stating is accurate, and that she has been working with Councilmember Goynes-Brown and the development company to figure out what is the best fit for the area. Senator Neal mentioned that the speakers are not clear on what the master plan will be for this new development. She mentioned that on the agenda, it is not clear about the Cartier Street closure and if there will be a park. They also want to address the height of the new buildings.
Bob Gronauer, 1980 Festival Plaza Drive, Suite 650, Las Vegas stated that he would like to obtain Ms. LaShona’s information to forward to his client. He stated that based on marketing studies and demands, this area is a better use for commercial. He also apologized for any miscommunication about the neighborhood meetings. Notices for these meetings were sent out and conducted. As far as the soil on this land, it is one of the applicants and City’s concerns. However, there are millions of dollars that have been invested on the land in order to remedy the soil problem. He stated that the local park in that area can be a collaborate effort between the neighborhood and the City. In addition, regarding Cartier Street, there will be a cul-de-sac in place and should not impact the neighborhood.
Chairman Warner closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Berrett apologized to the speakers for the miscommunication of details in regards to the neighborhood meeting. He stated that these meetings are very important not just to the applicant but also for the Commissioners.
Planning and Zoning Manager Eastman, responded to Commissioner Kraft’s question and stated that in 2019 there was a previous vote to rezone the land.
Land Development and Community Services Director Jordan, responded to Commissioner Kraft’s question and stated that residents in Windsor Park are allowed to make repairs to their homes but not to expand or have a total rebuild.
Planning and Zoning Manager Eastman, answered Commissioner Kraft’s question and stated that through the comprehensive plan use category for this site is a Master Plan for employment. This lot is not suitable for a residential site.
Commissioner Calhoun stated that the community can benefit from some of the employment opportunities this location will bring.

Planning and Zoning Manager Eastman, stated that the applicant is requesting to amend the Master Plan of Streets and Highways by removing a portion of Cartier commencing at Simmons Street and extending east approximately 820-feet. The intent is to remove the proposed street to allow the applicant to combine the parcels for a future industrial subdivision. Access to the parcels are still from Evans Avenue to the north; Carey Avenue to the south; Clayton Street to the east; and Simmons Street to the west. Removing this portion of Cartier Avenue would prevent industrial related traffic from travelling through the Windsor Park neighborhood. However, to address the consequences resulting from this amendment and the subsequent vacation of right-of-way, the applicant will need to provide a cul-de-sac on the west end of Cartier Avenue in order to comply with the City of North Las Vegas Municipal Code section 16.20.050.O which prohibits the use of stub streets. The Department of Public Works has reviewed the subject application and has no objection to the proposed amendment. Staff recommends approval and forwarded to City Council for final action.
Bob Gronauer, 1980 Festival Plaza Drive Suite 650, Las Vegas incorporated all of his comments from item 4 into items 5 and 6.
Chairman Warner opened the public hearing.
Rashanda Stevens, 3409 E Cartier Ave North Las Vegas no longer needs to speak on this item.
Lashauna Weasley, 2304 W Cartier Ave, North Las Vegas had a legal question that the commissioners were not able to discuss or vote on.

Land Development and Community Services Director Jordan, read items 8, 9 and 10 together but stated that it will require separate votes. The applicant is requesting consideration to amend the Comprehensive Master Plan Land Use Element from Neighborhood Commercial to Single-Family Medium. The proposed amendment is for approximately 15.19 acres located at the southwest corner of Losee Road and Tropical Parkway. The applicant held a neighborhood meeting on February 15, 2022. According to the neighborhood meeting summary, one (1) neighbor attended the meeting and had no questions or concerns. The site currently has a commercial zoning designation. There is 25 acres of commercial to the east and additional parcels to the north currently zoned for commercial uses. The Comprehensive Plan shows the surrounding land uses as Employment, Community Commercial, Single Family Low and Single Family Medium.
In regards to item 9, the applicant is requesting consideration to reclassify (rezone) the subject property from C-1, Neighborhood Commercial District to a PUD, Planned Unit Development District to allow a 196-lot multi-family (townhome) subdivision on 15.19 acres with a density of 12.91 dwelling units per acre.

The applicant is required to provide 78,400 square feet of open space (400 square feet per dwelling unit) per code requirements. The proposed site plan indicates 102,463 square feet of open space. Per the municipal code requirement, 75% of the useable open space is located within one central area as required by code. The applicant did not provide the amenities for the open space. Pedestrian connections should be added to allow additional pedestrian access to Tropical Parkway and Losee Road. The applicant submitted elevations for two-story attached 4-plex, 6-plex and 8-plex residential townhomes. Each dwelling unit contains two–car garages and a minimum 80 square foot front porch.

Planning and Zoning Manager Eastman, stated that the applicant is requesting Planning Commission approval for a final development plan that will consist of 170 single-family dwelling units. The subject site is approximately 27.04 gross acres with a proposed density of 6.29 dwelling units per acre. The adjacent subdivision referred to as Binion West 50, which is part of the overall Pulte Homes development. The smaller lots proposed in this subdivision will provide more housing diversity to the overall Pulte Homes development; increase the residential density as supported by the Comprehensive Master Plan and support the goals and design recommendations of the
Deer Springs District Livable Center Study. The proposed final development includes 41-lots with an overall dimension of 40’ x 100’ (4,000 square feet) and 129-lots with an overall dimension of 35’ x 90’ feet (3,150 square feet). The Pulte Homes development includes single-family lots ranging from 4,000 to 4,500 square foot lots. In the amended condition, an eight (8) foot wide sidewalk was required and the applicant has meet that condition. However, the final development plan provides 25 feet of perimeter landscaping including a centered eight (8) foot sidewalk adjacent to Deer Springs Way and Losee Road north to A Street. The eight (8) foot wide sidewalk shown on the plan is reduced to five (5) feet in width when adjacent to the bus stop on Deer Springs Way, at the intersection of Deer Springs Way and Losee Road, and adjacent to the utility equipment located in the landscape areas. The sidewalk should be maintained to a width of eight feet for the length of Deer Springs Way and Losee Road north to A Street.
In addition, the applicant is required to provide 85,000 square feet of open space (500 square feet per dwelling unit). The final development plan provides 91,623 square feet of open space with the majority in four larger common areas including a central park. The central park area is 63,939 square feet and provides slightly more than 75% of the required open space. Amenities located within the central park include two (2) open play turf areas; one (1) play structure with EPDM safety surfacing; one (1) corn-hole court; two (2) picnic tables (not covered) set upon stabilized decomposed granite; one (1) Shade Ramada with picnic table; benches, pet waste station; and trash and recycling receptacles. This is in compliance with what was originally proposed with the PUD. Staff recommended approval with one modification to the amended condition. Staff is requesting the removal of the first bullet point on condition number 6. The connection point between lot 6 and 7 there is a great differential layer which makes it difficult for the applicant to meet that requirement and from a safety standpoint it is not required. Staff recommends approval subject to the conditions listed.
