Items number 3, 4 and 5 were discussed together and voted upon separately.
Planning and Zoning Manager Eastman stated that The applicant is requesting Planning Commission consideration to establish a new gaming enterprise district (GED) as required by NRS 463.3086 for the subject property. The subject property is 66.86+ acres and is currently zoned C-2 MPC, General Commercial Master Planned Community District and RZ13 MPC, Residential Zone up to 13 du/ac District. In addition to this GED application, the applicant has filed a zone change (ZN-22-2022) request for the property to C/RC PCD, Commercial / Resort Casino Planned Community District; a special use permit (SUP-40-2022) to allow a casino/hotel on the site, and a site plan review (SPR-05-2022) for the entire commercial site plan. The subject property, is considered Parcel 2.21 in the Villages at Tule Springs Master Planned Community. The Villages at Tule Springs Land Use designation for the parcel is Commercial / Resort Casino.
The site plan submitted with the applications depicts a casino/hotel with one additional retail/commercial pad site (tavern) to be developed in two (2) phases. Phase 1 includes a total gross floor area of approximately 255,897 square feet of casino/hotel and uses that are accessory to the casino/hotel. Accessory uses within Phase 1 include a bowling alley, restaurants (3), food hall (6), bar/music lounges (4), and banquet and meeting areas. Phase 2 of the development includes an additional 299,174 square feet of gross floor area for the casino/hotel and accessory uses. The second phase of the proposed casino/hotel includes additional casino floor area, one additional restaurant, two additional restaurants in the food hall, one additional bar, kid’s quest, Movie Theater, additional non-gaming entertainment (not specified) and more banquet and meeting facilities.

All issues and concerns pertaining to the site plan, landscape plan, floor plans, and elevations will be reviewed and addressed with the special use permit, SUP-40-2022 and site plan review, SPR-05-2022. Staff does recommend approval with modification on item number five, condition number four. Staff wanted to note that there is a portion of the west side of the site that currently does not have a proposed land development on the west side of the property that does not have a proposed land use. The City does not anticipate any adverse impacts on facilities or neighboring land uses surrounding the subject site as the proposed use should be compatible with the future development and nearby residential areas. Staff is recommending approval of the proposed use.

During Phase 2, there will be additional restaurants with an outdoor dining space of 1,500 square feet, additional interior food halls, and 27,000 square feet of casino space.

The applicant is also proposing to construct a covered garage and expand parking, which will provide a total of 3,238 parking spaces. She also stated that the entirety of the development will include well-lit parking spaces with sufficient pedestrian and bicycle sidewalks. The site will also include 40 electrical vehicle charging stations. This property will be utilized for commercial resort casino uses and the zone change that the applicant is requesting is a conforming zone change with the existing Master Plan. The proposed development will have four (4) access points: two commercial driveways along Severance Lane, and two commercial driveways along Losee Road. The applicant agrees to staffs proposed condition and stated that she is available for questions.
Chairman Warner opened the public hearing.
Angela Johansson, 407 Leighann Rd, Henderson is in opposition of this project. She stated that the gaming casino should provide a severance package before being able to move forward with this project.
Ronald Portillo, Las Vegas is in opposition of this project. He stated that he wants the planning commission to do something about the severance pay that he deserves.
Mario Medina, 4852 Stephanie St, Las Vegas translated from Spanish to English for the following public speaker, Jose Jimenez.
Jose Jimenez, 3890 Cinnamonwood Way, Las Vegas stated that he worked at Fiesta Casino in Henderson for 15 years. He is in opposition of this project until the company provides employment or a severance package.
Efrain Zarate, 4112 Via Olivero Ave, Las Vegas stated that he is in opposition of this project until the company pays them a severance pay. He stated that he worked with the casino for 23 years and it is not fair what they did to him.
Ken Liu, 1680 S. Commerce St, Las Vegas stated that he is there to represent the Culinary Union. The applicant for this project has not provided a definite timeline for this project. Therefore, it is impossible for anyone to make an informed decision on the potential impact of the development of this casino. The company just closed two casinos in the Las Vegas area, which caused many of its employees to lose their jobs. He respectfully requests that the commission deny this project.
Senator Pat Spearman, 5575 Simmons Street, Suite 1-174, North Las Vegas stated that she is representing her constituents and thousands of workers who have been displaced. She is here today to ask for the business plan become more compatible with the needs of workers. She respectfully asks that the workers who have lost their jobs at Texas and Fiesta stations to be the first hires for this property.
Norma Flores. 106 Elm St. Henderson stated that she wants to know how the station casinos are asking for another business license when they are not providing work for their previous employees. She is asking for a severance package.
Lucy Taufan, 1211 Toledo St, Henderson stated that she has lost a lot since being let go from station casino. She is in opposition of this project and is requesting a severance package.
City Clerk Rodgers, read into the record a comment received by the City Clerk’s office regarding this item. The public comment was submitted by B. Morgan Joy in opposition of this proposal to establish a gaming enterprise district.
Chairman Warner closed the public hearing.
Chairman Warner stated that his heart has been touched by what the previous public speakers have mentioned and their voices have been heard. However, the Planning Commission is very limited to what they can do.
Rebecca Miltenberger, 100 N. City Parkway, Las Vegas stated that in regards to satisfying the requirements for this project, a resort has always been contemplated on this site.
Jeffrey Welch, 1505 S. Pavilion Center Dr, Las Vegas stated that he is the Chief Legal Officer for Station Casinos. He answered Commissioner Greer’s question regarding hiring long term employees at different station casinos. He stated that about one-third of the employees from Texas Station and Fiesta Henderson have been hired at different station casinos. He stated that the Station Casinos are a good employer which offer their employees great benefits and retiring options. He also stated that Station Casinos have contributed many things back to the community.
Planning and Zoning Manager Eastman answered Commissioner Kraft’s question and stated there was a casino resort at this location in the Park Highlands Master Plan as there is in the Tule Springs Master Plan. He also stated that the GED and use permit have a two year period of time for a use permit. In the code, it allows the applicant the ability to request an extension of time.
Jeffrey Welch, 1505 S. Pavilion Center Dr, Las Vegas answered Commissioner Riley’s question regarding SB386. He stated that how this works, when there is a position available at a Station Casino, they have to return to the previous employees of that casino and start the call-backs. This does not allow them to pull from other locations to fill the positions.
Commissioner Kraft thanked all the public speakers for speaking up about their concerns. However, the Planning Commission is a land use body and is charged with enforcing North Las Vegas Title 17. Therefore, since this parcel has always had a gaming enterprise district and previously approved, he does not have a reason to not support it.

Item numbers 18 and 19 were discussed together and voted upon separately
Planning and Zoning Manager Eastman stated that the subject site is 3.88 acres in size. The proposed convenience food store with gas pumps will be located at northwest corner of Ann Road and Valley Drive. The subject site’s Comprehensive Master Plan land use designation is Neighborhood Commercial. The proposed site plan also includes a vehicle washing establishment which will be reviewed under a different special use permit (SUP-38-2022) also on tonight’s Planning Commission agenda for consideration. Access to the site is proposed from two (2) entrances: one (1) from Ann Road (100-foot right-of-way) and one (1) from Valley Drive (80-foot right-of-way). The perimeter landscape areas adjacent to any street should be at least 15 feet in width including sidewalks. Typically, sidewalks are not allowed to be adjacent to the street in commercial areas however, there are existing sidewalks adjacent to both Ann Road and Valley Drive. There is another row of parking spaces adjacent to the perimeter landscape area along Valley Drive. At the northern end of this row of parking is the terminus for the sidewalk and utility equipment which will prevent the required six (6) feet of landscaping at the end of the parking row. There is enough space to shift the row of parking south six (6) feet to accommodate the required parking at the northern end. The proposed use is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. Staff recommends approval subject to conditions.

Planning and Zoning Manager stated the City is proposing some amendments to Title 17 the Zoning Code to help support the Southern Nevada Water Authority’s commitment to reducing water use throughout the Las Vegas Valley. The two proposed changes to the Zoning Ordinance will reduce landscaped turf areas within the City, create a maximum pool size for new pools built for a residential home and eliminate the development of new golf courses. The three proposed amendments are to encourage water saving measures within the City and support the commitment valley-wide to reduce water usage. The proposed changes will limit the use of turf to cemeteries, schools, parks (public and private), and recreation areas within multi-family developments. The second alters the permitted use table to no longer allow the development of golf courses within the City. Staff recommends approval.
Chairman Warner opened the public hearing and having no requests to speak, closed the public hearing.
Planning and Zoning Manager answered Commissioner Calhoun’s question and stated that under the proposal, the only new turf would be for recreational purposes such as parks. New turf would not be allowed in a resident’s backyard.

Planning and Zoning Manager stated that the City is proposing some amendments to Title 17 the Zoning Code to help support the Southern Nevada Water Authority’s commitment to reducing water use throughout the Las Vegas Valley. The proposed change to the Zoning Ordinance will create a maximum pool size for new pools built for a residential home. The proposed changes do not affect pool sizes in public or private parks nor do they limit the size of a pool within a multi-family open space area. The proposed modification is the same as regulations adopted by Clark County and endorsed by the Las Vegas Valley Water District and the Southern Nevada Water Authority. The proposed changes also mirror the modifications the City is proposing within Title 13, Public Services which establishes rules of services for the City’s Utilities Department. According to the Southern Nevada Water Authority, the average size for an individual residential pool is approximately 475 square feet. The valley-wide initiative is proposing a maximum pool size of 600 square feet. The 600 square foot size is larger than 75 % of the pools within the Las Vegas Valley. Staff recommends approval.
