the agenda we are gonna pull forward item number 33 dir 772 and for applicant owner city of Las Vegas for possible action on a presentation by the development department of planning regarding progress in the Las Vegas downtown master plan staff has no recommendation good evening chairman cherry my name is Michael ham long-range planning section manager and with me at my coworker Maria Jose Navarro with your permission chairman I'd like to give a brief presentation on the status of the downtown division 2045 downtown master plan so beginning about five years ago under the direction of then director of eud Scott Adams we heard from many of the property owners business owners and developers that the downtown Centennial plan was a bit dated in its vision didn't lacked it lacked the breadth of what we felt was a full downtown area and so we initiated a fairly substantial master plan overhaul three years ago in that time we've adopted the plan and to put it in perspective as a 30-year plan that three years we're now 10% into the plan so with that vision 2045 downtown master plan I do want to emphasize the amount of outreach and learning moments that we had through that process and we had over ten separate council meetings meetings with City Council members executive steering committee members we met with over 2400 individuals of the public we've had over a hundred stakeholder meetings a pretty thorough breadth of outreach and a lot of learning and input moments that came into a different planning process so much so that we took that process and we're learning from it in our new citywide 2050 master plan which I'll get to in a moment so real quickly and out of all the work out of the downtown vision 2045 master plan it's really some izing and the five big ideas within these five big ideas it encapsulates multiple policies and implementation actions on economic redevelopment open space development business expedition so we've classified them into diversify the economy create mixed-use hubs create streets for people create a greener downtown and expedite implementation a lot of this should sound familiar we're three years in the process and again we're just kind of reiterating and refreshing everyone's memory because there's a brief moment where potential confusion where we have a 2045 downtown master plan that's been adopted while we currently have a 2050 citywide master plan that's under way being drafted and being put together again I want to re-emphasize that we're using the processes that we learn from the 2045 downtown master plan and exploding that lesson and growing that scale out into the citywide 2050 master plan so over the time you'll hear you know when we go back out we're talking about the master plan outreach we're now talking about the citywide plan not the plan that's been adopted so again a real quick recapture when we talk about the downtown master plan it covers 12 downtown districts we have historic Westside cashman Resort and Casino Fremont East founders district Civic in Business Market District Las Vegas medical district the Gateway Design District and in the heart of it 18 B the arch district so this all comes down to we've had the play again we're 10% into the lifespan of the plan multiple points so a lot of issues came up quality of life issues business development issues economic redevelopment issues multiple implementation points really comes down to well how do you measure the success of the plan we've had this global vision a lot of buy-in a lot of people supporting it very successful but what are the data points what are the things that you indicate you're going in the right direction so with that if you ever refer to the downtown master plan that you have a home printed copy sitting on the bed stand its page 65 you'll see that score sheet but we have with me Maria that's going to go into detail breaking out some of those key points and in that process we've also learned that there's some indicators some measurements that we're going to include and break out because they give a little more information than what was originally captured when the plan was adopted but real briefly you know we're looking at growing residential commercial employment Civic and institutional it was put together as a fairly aggressive projection numbers being numbers and being very careful and Maria will go into it very detailed the good news is we're 10 percent of a lifespan of the plan we're already have met 20% of those projections so we're doing a good clip we're we're making good progress we'll go into detail on some of the areas that we want to focus in on and figure out how to grow those more Maria can I stay over here ok all right so I'm gonna throw some graphs at you and you promise to be patient with me and I'm gonna explain them but if you have questions just speak up right it's just best well we have a few crowd with us that will probably come along for the ride ok so out of some of the analysis that we did in order to see how we're meeting these projections in the master plan is looking at planning applications and those are the applications that come forward before this board so what we found out is that out of all the out all of the areas there are some that are doing better than others right and some that maybe we didn't even think of measuring that are doing well so the big winners is Hospitality civic and residential so planning applications that have come from 2016 through 2018 we see a high amount of applications coming forward with that and the numbers that you see here are square footage the light blue is a projection that Mike just showed you from the master plan original projections and the orange is what we've approved so far as a planning department from 2016 through 2018 the reason we're using 2016 is because that's when the plan was adopted so we want to show the success of implementing that master plan so just as a snapshot we see that hospitality is doing great we've you know done completed the projection like 400% Civic has done great as you know we just approved the municipal courthouse last year so that's included in that number projects like that are gonna make leaps and bounds and the success of some of these numbers and these projections and residential is doing great as well keep in mind these are planning applications so this is just people that have come forward and asked for permission to build from you correct the next sections that we're not doing too hot is office retail institutional research and development in K through 12 this isn't a huge surprise we knew during the master plan implementation process that these would be harder developments to attract to downtown and as you know from the work that you've heard from UD and from IT all of those departments are working really hard to get these projections up and we feel like in the next few years we're gonna see these numbers skyrocket so we're not too worried that we haven't gotten there with these but it is good to know and not just drive around downtown and just kind of say oh there's a lot of bars there's not a lot of offices it's good to see the numbers and really see what's coming so that we can be prepared as a municipality for the you know for these these projects the last section are the general commercial so some applications come forward with general commercial and we don't really know what they will be eventually right they just come with the permission to be general commercial one of those for example that fits in this gray area that could go in lots of different spaces is the world expo center that was approved between 2016 and 2018 but it could be retail it could be you know convention space it could fit in lots of boxes so that one is one of those projects it's in general commercial to give you a sense but it's done really well and we wanted to have general commercial square footage brought to downtown and we're doing it as far as planning applications go the other two categories I want to briefly mention that we're not included in those projections is mixed-use and active ground-floor mixed uses basically retail on the bottom or some commercial use at the bottom and residential at the top every downtown that you know and love has mixed-use downtown so that's the number that we want to see and we think that with form based codes and other tools like that we're gonna see a lot more mixed-use and a lot more high-quality mixed-use so we're excited to see that number going up and then active ground floors your basic outdoor dining right you go to a restaurant you can sit outside there's umbrellas there's chairs maybe there's additional features we can see that businesses are taking advantage of the improvements that we're making and we can see that they're probably gonna take advantage of the improvements that are coming down the pipeline which mike is gonna mention like third Street and Main Street those kind of things we want to see ground-floor activated so that when people are walking downtown they feel like there's people watching there's activity there's business activity it's really good for business and good for our residents and our visitors so those are also highlights that are great that we just didn't think about in the projection of the downtown that's fine so this is just a mental break from the graph so take it in enjoy it there's more coming but as you know not all planning applications that we approve here that you approve as a board get built we hope that most of them do and I'm sure that many of them have the intention to do to do so but not all of them get built so we really wanted to look at what is actually being built so we wanted to look at building permits that is the quickest way for us to see what's actually getting built downtown not just what's thinking of getting built so this slide shows you the black line at the top is a projected total development for downtown which is 11.45 for 500 million and then the blue bars are the building Department permits so anything that got built that had new square footage that was being added or completely new and then the orange is the planning applications that we just went through but just totaled for each year and at the end is the total from 2016 to 2018 but basically what you can see is that for building permits we have about 1.7 million square footage of development that was added downtown which is about 15% a little bit over 15% towards that projection in just three years which is great and then the as far as planning applications go that's you know way way over what we should be so even if a fraction of those 5.6 million planning applications get built in the next couple years we're going to be completely you know on-trend to get to that projection in that master plan which are all great things and then just quickly we also wanted to review business license categories at the bottom to the top so these are the top 20 so the number one categories at the bottom of that graph and the 20th is at the top I hope that makes sense so general retail sales not surprisingly it's a very general category it's a common category to obtain as a business license these are all new business licenses that were open downtown from 2016 to 2018 and it just shows you the top 20 the thing to take away from this is that it's there's a variety there's a lot of different businesses opening up we don't see two or three categories kind of taking it away and then everyone else floundering there's lots of different businesses moving downtown and that's what we want to see so hopefully the variety and just the types of businesses this one we're still working a little bit on analysis business licensing is a fantastic division but they know their numbers so much better than anybody else does and it's a complicated business a business can have multiple business licenses etc etc so we're gonna do a deeper dive on this and hopefully we have some better information to show you plus all not all business licenses cost the same right so you know having someone invest a large amount of money in a business license this may be a privilege license is a little bit different than someone that's just opening something you know small so and then the last thing I promise as far as grass go is land vacancy so that's another way that we can analyze how we're doing downtown how much is getting built we did an analysis that actually went until today based on Assessors data for downtown and we have currently twelve percent of parcels are vacant and what we mean by vacant is completely empty there's no parking lot on it there's no empty building on it it's vacant its ground we hope that as years go by and development continues to come downtown that this number will go completely down right or at least significantly down so we hope that in future presentations just like this as we show you a progress report of the vision 2045 master plan we can show you this numbers just kind of a quick target of okay vacant land is going down by two percent or going down by fifty percent so that's just another kind of small little indicator that we can use to kind of measure progress on the plan and with that I'll turn it back over to Mike thank you so really in a quick summary as bureaucrats we may be fake headed but we do like to learn we do like constant improvement and really that's what this master plan was about we saw a trend coming before the plan and we saw a lot of moments we're learning on the ground learning during inspections things we didn't want to see occur again so that really led into some of the initiatives and that goes into the standards and this is something I think you've all heard me go on and go on about the form based code and some of the advantages and why it really rose to the top is one of the the chief implementation policies again the form based code is a context driven code that really tries to set up a predictable pattern for a given area in that time we have adopted it for the Las Vegas medical district we have it scheduled for hearing at for the Fremont East District at the October 16 City Council and we will begin work on the historic Westside beginning in October it's our goal to have the full 12 districts under a form-based code again for many of the advantages for implementation but also has some distinct advantages on the back end when you're in the field it gives you the things that we've learned with grease traps and having really tight setback standards and things like that this code is really developer driven it's that you can solve problems with design versus having to come back and rehear items and get waivers like we've learned in the past another key component the downtown Civic space and trails plan that was recently adopted that's taking a very invigorating approach to looking how to get open space downtown we want as much park space as possible knowing that there's a potential management responsibility that goes with that not to count it but to put things into perspective when we saw that 20,000 square feet of what we call outdoor activated space those are the outdoor dining areas that 20,000 feet Sall most 4 acres of open space that doesn't really count for but that's a space that's attractive it's privately maintained and it really contributes that that downtown activity the pedestrian activity the the quality of life we're really trying to pair up that type of thinking with open space how we build things that may not be parks but are still inviting attractive and can be managed by the private publicly inviting but then having an advantage for the adjacent residents and business owners and then the development process improvements real quickly this is where I do my Oscars thank you I have to get a look over the fire Public Works I have to be careful I would really name every department in the city but fire made a great contribution with the adoption of the five-plus to the podium fire height where we can do lumber stick built over two levels of concrete that really greatly reduces the cost of a 7-story mixed-use building really looking forward to taking advantage of that with the new coding process Public Works and eud joined together is probably one of the most powerful tools that we've had yet to date you really can do a lot with your sidewalks in your roadway and your parking and when eud isn't on the formula and you start working with the private property owners we're learning that things really start moving quickly and from that process that's where you hear at times project enchilada I really want to toss that out there that project enchilada when you hear it is not an independent process it really is incorporated and ingrained with the downtown master plan it's rooted and all the implementations and policies that we want to see what's unique about it is it does involve the City Attorney's Office and a lot of the other departments to really reach out and have those discussions with the private property owners and the business owners on how quickly can we bring these improvements to the downtown plan area it reaches beyond just Fremont Street we have activity and historic West Side with job development we have activity and the founders district looking at improvements around potential partnerships for public/private art parks and then really want to land on infrastructure investments this is a stuffed I think people get the most excited about they see it the main commerce couplet with that completion with the lighting it really got people excited during First Friday it's really loaded the next step is we would like to see some of the adjacent development trigger we'd like to see more stuff follow we do have the third Street linear open space under construction right now that's a very wonderfully unique type of roadway improvement you'll see that that's third Street between Charleston all the way up to Bonneville if you get a chance it's a little bit tricky downtown has a lot of infrastructure improvements a lot of roadway improvements which are all again rooted in that downtown master plan we had the very fortunate timing of having RTC's fuel revenue index funding available and we have multiple streets Colorado caller California 8th Street 7th Street 6 Street Freemont lots of roads coming in but not just Street Way improvements they're coming in with trees with sidewalks with those quality of life improvements for a walkable bikable downtown and again this shows that multi-system ingrained approach that this downtown master plan had put together and then real quickly again just to recap sure we're 10% into the plan lifespan but at this point we have new target areas I think we're with that three years we have a good focus will standpoint with the plan but now looking at some of the opportunities that are going to come up with third Street upon completion and again working closely with the Office of Economic and Urban Development and Public Works we're gonna start seeing more development hopefully quicker so with that if you have any questions and I try to get through this really quickly thank you very much so thank you for the thorough report and you guys always do a great job wonderful I will open up to the public if anyone like to comment I don't see anyone coming up I'll turn it over to the staff or Commission for discussion I mean I just had a couple quick questions on the Civic portion parks are included in that no they're not included in that okay so like the 3rd Street Park is not part of that nope there's a separate category in that little yield summary scorecard which we actually printed and included it in your packet just so you know okay you don't have to strain yourself on the presentation which actually has parks and Green Streets as two separate categories open space yes open space category if that's an excellent question and then on the general commercial or its 750,000 square meter isn't the world market like 300 something thousand square feet as far so it might be just the addition was added during 2016 and 2018 so we're just only we're only tracking new development so it would only be the addition that they proposed but I can take a look and make sure all the information is from the agenda items so some things are going agenda which I'm sure it isn't because there was a discussion on that point the classification of it because we are looking at growing a convention type industry for downtown right which was mentioned in the downtown master plan but not as a category that we were tracking so we would be looking going into more detail of because Symphony Park will be providing responding development anticipating that convention space we want to make sure that we have that number called out so that we can show the impact that that has yeah and one more comment I thing before I go to Vice Chair to Silvio's you mentioned the vacant parcels are at 12% which is great to understand there's a lot of parcels that are I guess you could say in transition it would probably paint a little better picture of what's happening in downtown I mean I used to office on 3rd Street in an old house and the good wind storm the whole thing would come down you know and it's a teardown and then hopefully for a future development so it would be good to understand what those transition parcels I think it potentially could go in the future I think that's an excellent point and obviously we're just using land vacancy as one metric with all the others because it would be dangerous to go down that road of just looking at land you're absolutely right yeah the only question I had was what is the difference between tobacco sales and tobacco dealer I wish we had business licensing here to answer that because it's one of their categories but we can get back to you on that it's there's a lot of business licenses that are slightly different I think one of them was like auto dealer major auto dealer minor so there there's probably a of intensity especially with those more privileged licenses but I can find out for you and get back to you thank you mm-hmm I was a great rapport thank you very much are we just accepting this report the share you can accept the report I believe this report is also being gonna be given to the City Council at a future date as well let's have a motion make I'd like to make the motion a motion to accept that wonderful report it's a motion on the floor please cast your votes please post and that motion carries thank you very much Thank You mr. chairman actually has this will lead at the October 16 2009 teen City Council meeting thank you okay moving on to item number 13 abeyance SDR seven six three five zero applicant owner true love Missionary Baptist Church for possible ash and request for a site development plan review for a proposed parking lot expansion at 1941 H Street Court five staff recommends denial we get the staff report please mr. chairman the applicant has provided an updated site plan that adds landscaping materials along the eastern property line however staff finds that the proposed landscaping is still inadequate and would have a negative impact on adjacent and surrounding developments staff therefore recommends denial of the application thank you thank you very much your name and address to the record please Scott marks 416 Pine Cliff Drive thank you like to tell us about the application yes so we would like to extend the parking lots we initially submitted a plan in July and that was put on hold and we met with Commissioner Williams on site and he gave us some some suggestions that the city might I like to see we got to explain our plan a little bit more in detail with him basically what we're trying to do is just extend the parking lot for some dust mitigation we'd also like to add some beautification to the to the site so we plan on adding beautification by adding landscaping a crop along H Street and then also the perimeter is actually a drainage zone adding riprap Rock kind of a decorative landscaping rock to kind of bring up the overall appearance of the church okay great thank you this is notice as a public hearing you know and from the public like to be heard in this item seeing no one I will turn over to the Commissioner Williams Thank You mr. chair mr. marks is correct we did meet on-site to evaluate excuse me the recommendations and ideas and so I can see where they do propose adding the the Blue Point junipers there on the east side on H Street this this plan doesn't reflect the river rock for dust mitigation it does not that was an oversight by the the the engineer's office to put the riprap rock on there but it is the eventual plan of the church to put in the riprap rock around the perimeter at the park line and it is the plan to install that in conjunction with the shrubs on the east side barrier yes okay mr. chair based on the conversations and really understand and what the applicant is looking to do here I'm ready to make a motion please do in reference to item STR seven six three five zero I'd like to recommend approval okay there's a motion on the floor please cast your votes please post and that motion carries mr. chairman this item is final action unless appealed to the city clerk within

applications please note that there are additional photos in your supplemental information packet also note that there are additional letters of protest since publication thank you thank you very much getting at your name and address mr. chairman commissioners good evening Richard Gallegos 6725 southeastern here on behalf of the applicant also with me is the owner's representative my name is Alberto how do you address 3505 ace Harmon Suite B Las Vegas Nevada Thank You mr. chairman one of the first things staff for working with us on this challenging site as well as Commissioner Rothman for his time we do want to go on record to state that we do accept and understand staffs if approved conditions and with that I'm one turned it over to Alberto to give you just a little background of the site and how we got to where at today could even and again a little history regarding these property and maybe their family who owns it now but four years ago they acquire these property at the very for the lack of word full of stuff I mean there were in my opinion hundreds of tires juice tires and debris and auto parts that were making an unsafe place the property has since then changed a lot during that ownership the property's corner of southwest of Nellie's Boulevard and Monroe dinelli's frontage is currently an auto dealership and the westerly part of the property which is you know as we call it the rear which is the frontage of Monroe is where they currently operate the auto repair business the I don't know if the photo would be in this area this is currently if you're not covering it up the frontage of the montreux bu which is where the auto repair exist currently and then here's a broader did you get a chance to see it correctly this is a broader picture of the frontage of the area in question the proposed development is converting the existing shop there is now to to these new development chosen in this picture to the south there is seat rezoning to the east city zoning and to the north city zoning there is a residential component to the west which is this portion right here so the maunder of frontage is where the view of that are the rendering to show you is what will be the video we met with the family who owns this lot the residential lot several times the Lopez family and they indicated a positive for us to move forward with this development or their support they would prefer the building that we are planning to develop to be against the property line instead of creating an a separation of landscaping with the fear of maybe intrusion of people or animals or trash or maybe landscaping that it was in protected or taking the care of the the other question or the other wishes that they indicated to us was that they don't want to see lights pointing towards their home their future home to they're planning to build there in addition to that they're also mentioned that they they have a smooth phase block wall rather than a split phase which is what we propose and Richard can talk a little more about the building in a minute so we with this we turn it over to you for any questions for richer or for myself if you have any questions okay thank you this is notice there's a public hearing anyone from the public like to be heard this item seeing no one I will turn it over to the Commission for discussion oh that's great thank you all right so I think the step did a great job with the Brighton report and I appreciate the the applicants coming meeting with me and going over this project because it wasn't too thrilled about this project at the very beginning a few months ago when it come to the Planning Commission and now seeing the new plan I know that you'll worked with the council person and I'm not sure what all of her input was but my input to you was I liked it I like the like the split face versus a smooth I know you said the neighbor one of the smooth eye I would prefer to keep it the split face facing them and you know the columns that you have facing the neighboring lot to the west I think that's great I think the building's a lot better one of my comments just so the Planning Commission understands was it has a block wall that's existing out on Monroe and I didn't like that block wall because it allows the applicant to put tires or parts or broken-down vehicles in the parking lot and I think this neighborhood is has a ton of places where it's just trashed out with vehicles and everything else so by putting in more landscaping and getting written that block wall yes the bays will face Monroe however I kind of like that because it allows every button see into that property and kind of forces you to keep it a little bit cleaner so in saying those things I like the

additional letters of support the sense publication thank you thank you very much can get your name and address good evening my name is Joe signor I own Joe's Bar located at 2851 North Rancho Drive the reason why I'm here today Commissioner Williams they come out to the property last week and we did walk it and I was able to explain to him a little bit better in detail he said what exactly what I wanted to do and what I want to do is to be able to designate an area in the parking lot behind the building to be able to play a game of cornhole and while we play I want to be able to serve alcoholic beverages okay thank you Joe this was noticed as a public hearing you know from the public liked to be heard so you know I'll close the public hearing I'll turn over to the Commission Commissioner Williams Thank You mr. chair mr. signora's correctly I did visit the property wooden to really walk through and get a better understanding of exactly what he's trying to do I do have a question with what the cornhole tell us again the proposed hours of operation sure so we normally play on Thursdays we have a league usually lasts about three months long when we start at seven o'clock sometimes games finish at eight no later than nine o'clock nine p.m. okay good because I was going to ask would you be opposed to having an additional condition of not running beyond 9 p.m. there in behind the the business place of business so this is this is really a matter of being able to set up the game football have a good time doesn't you know as far as the distance separation you know just looking at what the church and the different things happening there this was their first correct not even in view I'm actually ready to make a recommendation mr. chair it's more of a question of curiosity it says to allow 35 spaces where 146 are required did this property already have an original variance for the parking because that seems pretty substantial difference 3 mr. chairman it's the I don't I don't recall if the original one has a variance I think it's just the expansion of the use precipitates all of that out of one per 50 ratio and as such you get that higher number of parking for me okay thank you Commission William I'd like to make a motion for approval on item var 7 6 9 0 3 thank you as the motion on the floor please cast your vote please post and that motion carries I'd also like to make a motion for approval on item su P seven six nine zero four commissioners will that be with your condition of the nine p.m. mr. signor you do agree to the nine p.m. sometimes Mitch does last a little bit longer you know that's the recommendation okay 9:00 p.m. it is so mr. mr. chairman if I could the condition would read the hours or operation should be limited to 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. within the expansion area yes correct okay oh wait hold on just for clarification purposes from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. he's only allowed in to our window so he can't do this at 6:00 p.m. I don't want him to come in back here that's not what we're trying to achieve is he allowed to do it before 7:00 a.m. this is really a noise issue for Google on 9:00 p.m. so anytime during the day up till 9:00 up til 9:00 p.m. okay it's over the hours operation chauvelin limited to 7:00 a.m. to 9 p.m. within the expansion area our noise ordinance is basically 7:00 a.m. for construction start things like that so okay okay there's a motion on the floor with an attic condition please cast your votes please post and that motion carries and I'm sorry mr. mr. chairman I saw he nodded his head but if you can just get and verbal affirmation that he agrees to that new condition from 7:00 to 9:00 okay from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 yes I do okay thank you all right an item SDR seven

abeyance SDR seven six eight eight eight applicant owners square trades Holdings LLC this was a bait excuse me thank you item number twenty six var 77093 applicant image 360 owner 5600 West Sahara Holdings LLC for a pause watch and request for a variance to allow a proposed 50-foot tall on-premise freestanding sign where 40 feet is the maximum height allowed to allow three signs on the street frontage where two signs are allowed and to allow a 71 foot separation from an existing monument signed where a hundred feet is the minimum required at 5600 West Sahara Avenue Ward 1 staff recommends denial can we get the staff report please mr. chairman the subject site is Zone C 2 general commercial is currently utilized as a motor vehicle sales commercial development currently the site has three signs located along the Sahara Avenue frontage one freestanding sign and two monument signs the signs currently do not meet title 1908 sign development standards which limits signage fronting Sahara Avenue to two freestanding signs or monument signs and require a minimum separation of 100 feet between the signs the applicant has proposed to demolish the existing 40-foot tall freestanding sign and replace it with a new 50-foot freestanding sign in the same location which must comply with current title 1908 freestanding sign development standards staff notes that the three signs on Sahara Avenue frontage and the 71 foot separation from freestanding the monument signs are existing conditions on the subject site therefore staff has no objection to that portion of the applicants variance request however no evidence or extraordinary circumstance has been presented to support the applicants request for increased sign height 250 feet where 40 feet is the maximum allowed staff has determined that the proposed signage is inconsistent with title 19 standards therefore staff recommends denial of the request please note that additional letters of protests have been received since publication thank you thank you very much your name and dress to the record please my name is cherry Waylon we own a sign company called Damon's 360 and we're representing the owners of this property who were the owners of Newport motors and Dana White and just wanted to start off by saying you know I've been in Las Vegas since 1998 and I've noticed that the west heroine I first came here was like the hub of car sales it's kind of changed over the years so but the property is still properties there are still very suitable for that and so some people want to go back there and reinvest in that part of the city and this is a good example of it they want to establish a dealership there for Lotus cars which is a fairly high-end automobile they have a unique situation in that they have large monument sites on each side by the way this has been our project manager we do mind showing that one sign of the other site the big thing of this is this is a 50 foot sign that's on typical of the ones that on both sides of the property and they're 20 to 30 feet wide we're proposing a sign that is more streamline 13 feet wide at the top that's a little nicer looking at sign and but we would like to be able to have the height to have the for the client to have the presence on the street of the kind of product that they're they're representing so that's the reason we're asking for the 50 foot the 50 foot variance now there was one thing that we didn't quite understand we got from the of the denial of staff day before yesterday and we have been able to talk to him since then but we weren't planning on any other signs being on nando frontage other than this new 50 foot sign and there is another smaller sign that's currently there that we will remove so two signs that we will remove for three okay and the existing 40-foot pylon spine that's there and then reposition the pylon side so it so it's exactly dead center 130 feet between each existing pylons sign there so it's equal spacing between the AutoNation the new Lotus and then the token and what was your last name for the other sorry my name is Benjamin K 60 to 90 South Pecos thank you I guess the we're really weary just want to make it clear that we're asking for the various 450 foot sorry we're not asking for a closer distance between signs because we'll remove everything that's done the property to make that space correct okay thank you this was notice as a public hearing anyone from the public like to be heard seeing no and I will turn it over to the Commission for discussion vice-chair of Salvia now the question I have is compared to the Tobin motor car sign as well as the auto nation sign does anybody on staff know the heights of those two signs can you please repeat that questions okay according to the slides here that Tobin motorcar sign as well as the auto nation sign can you do you happen to know the elevation of those died through you mr. chair unfortunately those signs are out of the scope of this application and were not reviewed as part of this request we only looked at the signage that was proposed with this variance request there are 50 feet okay but that's your reason the owners would like to have a 50 foot sign but they're willing to give up mass to make us sleeker looking sign to make up for Thank You Commissioner rogen isn't here tonight who this is his ward okay but I will say I think we can hear it tonight and if he does have any concern or his the councilman's office they you know they'll reach out to you so I would like to have a vote on it tonight I don't have a problem supporting it at the 50 feet consistent with what the other two signs but obviously with the condition that all the other signs are taken down and cleaned up there the areas where the just so I'm clear was there two other smaller monument signs that would come down or three no it's two monument signs that may exist in 40-foot pylons and the existing 40-foot pylon and would you go back with some landscape in the air on redoing the whole point I'm spending large money on their property okay okay Commissioner schlattman yeah I'm ready to make a motion please ready yeah on item number 26 var 77093 based on testimony heard tonight and look and an attic condition and mr. Lowenstein is gonna read that into the record for me thank you to you mr. chairman based on tation the condition when we read the approval is for the sign height only and all existing signs located along the Sahara frontage shall be removed and replaced by the one proposed freestanding sign correct okay and it sounds like the applicant agrees with that so subject to status conditions and then edit condition moved to approve okay there's a motion on floor please cast your votes please post the no motion carries thank you very much mr. chairman that item is moving forward to City Council on October 16 2019 thank you thanks commissioners Loven all right moving on to related items 27 through 28 27 su P 77075 applicant owner ten fifteen hundred's LLC for PHA special request for a special use permit for proposed parking facility at 1124 South Maryland Parkway Ward 3 staff recommends approval related item 28 SDR 77077 zero seven six for possible request for site development plan review for proposed parking lot with waivers of the perimeter landscape buffer requirements Ward 3 staff recommends approval chatter yes chair I'm going to have to abstain from this these next two items I have an adversarial position on a case that's pending litigation against ten fifteen hundred jealousy in cases desert Creek versus South Main LLC its district court case a sixteen seven four eight one three three to avoid an appearance of impropriety I'm going to abstain from these two items thank you very much for the disclosure and the abstention create the staff report please mr. chairman the subject side is undeveloped zone CD designed commercial and subject to title 19 development standards pursuant to title 19 12 a parking facility is per in the CD zoning district with approval of a special use permit per the submitted justification letter and site plan the proposed parking lot will provide 18 parking spaces which will primarily service overflow parking for the shopping center adjacent to the north while the applicant has requested a waiver to allow a reduced eastern landscape buffer adjacent to Maryland Parkway staff finds the request acceptable as the applicant has provided sufficient landscaping materials in the proposed buffer area therefore staff recommends approval of both requests subject to conditions please note that additional letters of support have been received since publication thank you thank you catch your name and address the record please good evening mr. chair fellow commissioners for the record John Curran nine eight five white drive here on behalf of the applicant to briefly describe her project and answer any questions you may have you heard an SUV in an SDR for a proposed parking facility eighteen spaces an overflow parking lot that will support the redeveloping hunter Shopping Center we are requesting a five-foot a minimum of five foot landscape buffer or 15 is required on the east side along Maryland but that matches the rest of the block and respectfully requests that you follow staffs recommendation for approval without I'm happy to answer any other questions you may have thank you very much mr.

Kern sure good evening Kathleen this is just 18 parking spaces there's you've only going to access this lot to Park in that lot there's no drive-through you're just gonna drive in Park and and leave there is gonna be significant landscaping improvements made around the perimeter I believe it's 18 trees I can I can share the specifics on the landscape plan if you'd like but it's going to be a major aesthetic improvement to the current conditions so I have any speaking for the audience I'm sorry mr. Kern you have to sure that's us with it just I apologize procedurally understood through you chairman if you want to put that down on the overhead they can zoom into it you can point to it and then she can see from the audience or to look at the site plan this is the new suite building as we're calling it that will be home to the capriati's and Roberto's so the drive through is here this is actually public right-of-way and this is the the new lot that we're proposing so no trash it'll have a landscape buffered all the way around and it's just you'll pull into Park or pull out when you're ready to exit and so and okay thank you and all right I will turn over to the Commission for discussion Commissioner Slaven yes mr. chair and I'll address some of the comments and I appreciate you coming out and staying with us tonight so in looking at this there's there's no garbage no trash bin or anything on this particular site we're talking about the just the the portion of the site that's on Francis and Maryland Parkway we're not talking about the area where the they have the suite building one that kind of goes up and over so we don't have in trash and so that shouldn't be a nuisance it shouldn't be attracting rats or anything over there because it's just cars and then plus there won't be any parking I mean it won't be any cars going through that parking lot and based on LP of France's they'll have to go to the alley back out to Maryland Parkway and then they'll carry on so that would keep a lot of traffic from coming into your neighborhood and so overall I mean there's a couple of requests for the landscape waivers for the buffer the buffer but I think they did a pretty good job with the landscape and as the dappered companies usually do or ten fifteen hundred whatever they they do a great job with landscaping and their buildings so I think this is probably the best that we can we can request of them I couldn't find anything on this application to improve it any better so seeing that I'd be ready to make a motion please do and that would on item number 27 SGP 77075 I would move to approve subject to staffs conditions so motion on the floor please cast your votes please post and that motion carries and mr. chair on item 28 SDR 77076 I'd moved to prove subject to staff's conditions thank you there's a motion on the floor please cast your votes and then if I just can make one comment if maybe mr.

Chairman I have known Joey for mr. pianist for years but I didn't talk to him about this project and I hadn't seen him in quite some time so I'll be voting on this matter let me ask a question that are you mr. chair so this was improvements that were made in the past by the the previous owner that's correct and then how long do you think it would take you to get this thing to get permits and get this approved based on experience probably four months I'll say 120 days so we had something here recently where we're looking at something and it had to come back before us because it's coming up next because we put too tight of a timeline on it so I would say I'd like to put 120 day timeline on this and not have you come back and ask for you know any more time just get your plans in get it get it approved and be on its way are you fine with that okay so let's see on mr. chairman if there's no other question or comments like to make a motion and that would be for purple of item 29 scp-777 for to approve subject staff's conditions within minute condition number three that says all necessary building permits shall be obtained and final inspections shall be completed in compliance with title 19 within 120 days from the date of final approval okay there's a motion on the floor these votes please post and that motion carries thank you nice to see you mr. vadas sorry mr. chairman that item is final action unless appealed to the city clerk within 10 days thank you item number 30 roc 77077 applicant owner Stephanie and Brock Goddard for possible action request for a review of condition of an approved variance to remove condition number one that states all necessary building permits shall be obtained within 30 days from the date of the final approval and final expections of such permits shall be accomplished within sixty days of the issuance of the building permits unless extended by the building official at 50/50 Elkhorn Road Ward six staff recommends denial wait staff report please mr. chairman staff notes that typically this type of condition is added for existing structures only to prioritize getting these structures legally permitted however in this case the same condition was applied to both existing and proposed structures however staff notes that the applicant failed to submit any in East middle for building permits for either the existing or proposed structures within 30 days in regards to building permits staff has determined that the non-action within 30 days in regards to the building permits is self-imposed therefore recommends denial of the applicants request please note that additional letters of protests have been received since publication thank you thank you very much can I get your name and address for the record please Stephanie Goddard 5 0 5 0 Oakland Roger thanks good evening Sam Dunham 4 0 3 1 South Dean Martin drive I came to this prom dance a little late Stephanie and her husband bought this house just a couple of years ago and they applied for a front inside yard setback variance to install the patio cover so during the process it was discovered by the city of Las Vegas that this block wall was constructed in 2005 years before this Stephanie and her husband purchased this house so one of the conditions was to rectify the situation in 30 days they got a residential designer involved got the permits ready to go went down day 32 I think or day 37 something like that to submit 7 or 8 days beyond the 30-day notice that they were given or the 30-day timeline so they have the plans ready to submit we met with Public Works Mike Cunningham we sat down tried to rectify the situation and it didn't go anywhere legally he couldn't do anything but he did realize that you know 30 days is not a whole lot of time for a proposed structures and that's what that's what they were trying to do is get their applications all in one bundle so here we are we've got a situation where the block wall is still there they need to submit plans for the patio covers we need to remove the condition a condition number one in order to move forward so if we deny it or nowhere if we approve it and we start moving on and rectifying situations that were created back in 2005 or started in 2005 okay this was notice as a public hearing and for the public like to be heard seeing no one I will close the public hearing turnovers commissions sure to solve you Thank You mr. chairman so I went round around with decide the city try to look to see if they could find anything that would help expedite your situation as far as maybe some old drawings that you could at least know what makes designs were with the length of the footings widths thicknesses but they don't have it we found okay we found some so thank you for the help okay so with that if I at the the direction I'd like to give would with ninety days from what you've already accomplished over the last thirty seven you talked about adding another ninety would that be sufficient enough for you to get all your ducks in a row and obtain those permits that you need well we can submit but I'm telling you right now as a civil engineer when I submit to the city of Las Vegas timeframes are very long the city's better than the county and much better than the city of north Las Vegas but you're you're asking for you're asking for us to predict what you can do what your staff can do and I know it's not your staff but it is the building department who does Public Works so if if we submit in a reasonable amount of time and staff doesn't get us comments in a reasonable amount of time that 90 days may not work you gave 120 days to the previous applicant and he's got an existing facility not new so where are you at in the process right now I guess Stephanie gotta know what was that come Amy I already I took all the plans when I it was about I think five days after the deadline and I went to pay for the permits and everything and it was the only hold up is to get the approval the extension or whatever from you guys so that we can go down and actually pay for the permits now everything's already submitted and turned in so they already have everything they're only waiting on the approval from you guys to actually get this so then I guess I would ask mr. Lowenstein would with 90 days be sufficient from to obtain this objective that we're trying to get towards through you mr. chairman my my answer in suggestion back is that the proposed construction fall under the timeline of the variance so they pulled a permit and it's however long it takes to get the proposed construction the the real concern would be the existing block wall to make sure that's safe and that you know if they put it into one big package that might delay how long it takes to get through permit review but if they had the wall separated out potentially they could have that review go through quicker and addressed that and not have the exists or the proposed construction to be under a timeline because the variance will run for two years and if they don't exercise it by pulling the permit and the proposed construction they'd have to come back again for the variance but for the existing construction that which is more of a concern if you're looking in ninety days I think a block wall permit in ninety days is more than acceptable okay so basically let's take let's take care of that one first everything is submitted you we're actually getting comments back so it's a package now what I don't want to do stop and start over so it's together as a bundle and I don't want to change that well it seems like the main concern of the city right now is the is the wall and then to get get past that first and then move on to the next and the original permit that they that they ended up finding from 2005 it shows where the footings have already been approved they've already passed so it's literally the only thing that has not passed on this permit is for the wall is the final final inspection was never completed Wawa's permit correct if it's I don't know the land your going to a six-foot wall then your footings hopefully can handle the six-foot but you'll will have a master package which has all of it in there but when they issue building permits they're going to issue it for your one further principle dwelling and then into a separate permit for the block walls so my original statement of that being broken out is the concern should be about the block wall being permitted and final within the amount of time the proposed construction lives the life span of the the variance which is a two-year time period almost exercise if you think it can be done well the questions here's what the problem with the I got the rub is when you were before me last month over the 30 days we weren't talking about your patio cover we were talking about getting your wall dialed in in 30 days now you guys took it upon yourself to bundle this and make a package out of it I'm trying to get this wall taken care of first but that's the only reason we were ever brought here in the first place that's why they wouldn't even a they wouldn't even but we can't move forward with the other thing until we let's rectify the block wall first let's just get that out of the picture because that's what's got this whole code enforcement thing going is when you came out to to have your accessory structure or your patio cover or whatever you want to call it the block wall came up and then as we dug into it we found out that there was never a final inspection done I don't even know what the height to that wall was supposed to be I don't even know what the length of that wall at that point in time in 2005 was supposed to be you could tell I mean I Drive past that place every single day to get to my house and you can tell where there's been pieces and parts added on over time it looks like you can simply crash through the corner I mean so I the concern of the city is the safety of that wall and its concern for me to to make sure we get past that I don't want any liability issues that we sit here and give you I shouldn't do something and that wall falls on someone not saying that it would but you know then where does the liability lie so to me I'm saying can you get this done in 90 days to get the wall taken care of I'm assuming yeah we've already submitted for everything so I okay and you agree to that right okay then I would make the motion to with that condition at the discretion of 90 days you have 90 days to have turn your permits and I would make a motion to approve that roc 77077 just be clearance 90 days for the block wall correct only because that's the predicament they were in with the proposed yeah fine let's get that taken care of okay there's a motion on the floor please cast your votes with the conditions the most and that motion carries good evening thank you thank you that is final action unless appealed within ten days thank you moving on to directors business item number 31 txt 7-7 to 0-5 applicant owner city of Las Vegas
