I'm the manager of the current planning division here at the City of Henderson. October is National Community Planning Month, the time to celebrate the lasting value that thoughtful planning brings to our community. and to recognize the vital role that each of you in this room plays in helping shape Henderson's future. This month is also an opportunity to raise awareness about the importance of planning to highlight how it influences the character of our neighborhoods, supports responsible growth, and improves quality of life both here in Henderson and across the country.

The work we do together helps preserve what makes Henderson special while ensuring a high quality of life for the residents, both today and for generations to come. Henderson is very proud of our reputation as home to award-winning master planning communities, beautiful parks and open spaces, safe neighborhoods, and a nationally recognized downtown. These successes are a direct result of the thoughtful decisions and dedication that you, our planning commissioners, make. And so on behalf of our entire planning team, we'd like to thank you for your time, dedication, and expertise. Henderson is stronger because of the work that you as our planning commissioners do.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Michael Tassi, 218 Lead Street, along with John Marciano, 218 Lead Street, representing the applicant on this item. Just to, I think, Rochelle, I'm sorry, Ms. Liston, she summarized it very well. This has been an ongoing project. We worked very closely with your staff and with Public Works staff to go through and add this 14,000 square foot addition. You know where it's at, downtown Emerald Island Casino. We're expanding just to the, I guess would be kind of the north of that. And then the parking lot to the north, there has been some vacations that you just previously approved, and we're reconfiguring that, adding landscaping, and then also for the building itself, we're changing out the skin of the building, and we think this will beautify downtown. It's gorgeous. It is gorgeous. And we're happy to answer any questions. Thank you. Thank you. At this time, I'll open the public hearing. Is there anyone wishing to speak on this item? Seeing no one, I'll close the public hearing. Commissioners, comments, questions, or a motion? I'll make a motion to approve CUP-2025-017-478 and DRA-202550093-86, subject to findings of fact and conditions. Commissioner Humes, may the motion please vote. That item passes. Good luck with that project. Thank you. Item 17 is a two-part request for a gas station and convenience store. Part A is a conditional use permit for a gas station And part B is a design review of architecture and site design for a convenience store and gas station on 1.5 acres located on the east corner of Sunset Road and Boulder Highway. Staff is recommending approval as this proposed development has incorporated the city's reimagined Boulder Highway design standards. And even though the use is vehicle oriented, the development supports nearby transit facilities, which includes an existing bus stop and future bus rapid transit station by providing a shared walkways and resting area at the corner of Sunset and Boulder Highway. Staff has received one letter in support and none in opposition for this item and staff recommends approval of this request. This will be final action unless appealed. Thank you. Name and zip code for the record. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Michael Tassi, 218 Lead Street, representing the applicant on this item. As you can see here with the vicinity map, it is located at the southeast corner of Boulder Highway and Sunset. This corner has a couple of older uses that we're hoping to repurpose and pretty up this corner a little bit. We did work with staff quite a bit trying to incorporate the reimagined Boulder Highway, not only the trail, but also we have a transit stop that's right at the intersection of Boulder and Sunset. So you can see on this landscape plan we have incorporated a kind of a shade structure that not only provides seating, but also provides shade from the trail to the convenience store. And then in addition to that, we worked quite a bit with staff to make sure that we incorporated a number of materials into the building on all four sites. And lastly, what I'll say is there is a There's the RV park that is sitting behind us. There is a shared access driveway. Right now there's a gate over it. Sometimes it's open, sometimes it's not. We are adding a sidewalk so that we can bring folks over, pedestrians safely into the site. With that, I'll just say thanks again to staff for all their help. We agree with the recommendation and the conditions and we're happy to answer any questions. Thank you. At this time I'll open the public hearing. Is there anyone wishing to speak on this item? Seeing no one, I'll close the public hearing. Commissioners, comments, questions, or motion? I'll make a motion to approve CUP-202-501-7263 and DRA-202-501-7092, subject to findings of facts and conditions. Commissioner Meason, may the motion please vote. That item passes. Good luck with that project. Item 18 is for Evelyn Pippington Single Family Residents. This is a variance request to reduce the interior side yard setbacks from five feet to three feet located approximately 100 feet southwest of the intersection of Evelyn Avenue and Jefferson Boulevard. The subject lot is illegal non-conforming due to its narrow width. Staff recommends approval as the proposed development will introduce architectural diversity to the area. The elevations adjacent to the existing neighbors include smaller windows to maintain privacy, and the lot's narrowness presents an undue hardship for the development. Staff has received six letters in opposition and one in support for this item and recommends approval for this request. This will be final action unless appealed. Thank you. Name and zip code for the record. Chris Darling, 89129. And you agree with staff's recommendation? I do. Do you have anything you'd like to add? No, not this time. Thank you. At this time, I'll open the public hearing. Is there anyone here wishing to speak on this item? Come on down. I'll remind you that you have three minutes. There's a nice, handy light bar there that turns green, then yellow. When you see it go yellow, if you happen to see it, because you get tunnel vision sometimes, you'll need to wrap it up. And then at red, you'll need to stop. So name and zip code for the record. Tiffany Stewart, 89011. Thank you. All right, so I live directly next to the vacant lot that is subject to the variance. I'm here to respectfully ask that you deny this variance to reduce the setbacks. I built my house there and I know that the requirements keep the integrity of the neighborhood. This request may seem minor on paper, but it is serious implications for our neighborhood. The lot in question is extremely small, only about 2,000 square feet, far below the 6,000 square foot minimum requirement for an RS6 zone. It is a lot smaller, quite frankly, and should have never been divided out. for development in the first place. The new owners purchased this recently, fully aware of those restrictions, and that means the hardship that they're claiming is self-created, not a result of a unique condition. In addition, the proposed home would be three stories tall, while nearly every house in our neighborhood is a single story with only a few two-story homes that are there. Allowing a three-story structure squeezed in a 25-foot wide lot completely changes the look and the feel of our street. This would tower over our neighboring homes, blocking sunlight, invading privacy, not to mention to create potential safety hazard like fire, drainage issues, and access problems to to the utility pole that's located right along that property line. Beyond the aesthetic, This kind of oversized, out-of-character development can reduce our property value by our nearby homeowners. Our neighborhood is a consistent charm and has scale that people value. It sticks out dramatically, as you can see in the picture, and it can make the entire block feel less desirable for buyers. The applicant argues that the 15-wide home isn't reasonable, but there is many narrow home designs that could fit existing code without needing special The purpose of zoning is to maintain fairness and consistency for everyone. Grinding this variance would essentially reward someone for buying a property that doesn't meet the current standards, setting this precedence that could open a door for more variances just like this one. Finally, I want the committee to know that the neighbors are united in opposing this variance. This isn't just my concern. It's shared by everybody that lives around and would be directly affected by the construction. We ask that you uphold the integrity of the RS-6 zoning code, preserving the character of our neighborhood, and deny the variance. Thank you for your time and listening to the community's concerns. Thank you for your time. Is there anyone else wishing to speak on this item? Seeing no one, I'll close the public hearing. Commissioners, questions, comments? So staff, I do have a question. What is the allowed height in that area? Yes, Mr. Chairman. The allowed height is 35 feet and the proposal is 30 feet tall. So it's within the zoning regulations. So there are five feet under what's allowed? Correct. Okay. And then regarding the easement for the power pole, is there an easement on the property to access the power pole there? Not that we know of. I mean, it doesn't show up in our documents, but if there is, that would be worked out at the building permit stage. Okay. Thank you. Any other comments or questions? this before is what neighbors did you meet with prior to this evening? So we went and knocked on a couple doors. Nobody answered at the time. We saw people in the area talk to them, but that's about it. Nobody specific. So not a lot of effort. Okay, thank you. Well, I mean, the house to the north. Can you state your name and zip code for the record? Sean Dempsey, 89128. The house to the north is a not owned by anyone in state. And we had extensive effort in tracing them down and tried to contact the person who we think is the person. But they didn't even acknowledge owning the house. And the real issue, I think, with this is that the variance only is a two-foot addition that we just think makes the house much more functional The house would be conforming if we just go 15 foot wide and three stories high. And so there's no real, that house can exist in the place and would be built instead of this. But the two feet wide just makes it much more functional and living as a living space, if that makes any sense. And if I understand correctly, the three feet distance separation is at a point where it's not directly adjacent to a structure. Is that correct? It's just a fence? Correct. Push it back a little bit. We've positioned it so that it's not near anyone's house and it's just between yards. And it's not the whole lot. The whole lot is 80 feet long and we're looking at 25 feet of it. RS6 is a townhome designation. That's the intended use of this zoning as townhomes, which is very much in style of what we're proposing. Okay. Any other questions? Is the house directly behind it that's built, is it the same size lot, and what size building's on it? Is it a one or two story? The house behind us is on two different lots, and one of the lots is the same as this lot. And what's on that one? That is a single story. I don't recall, I think it's a two story, I'm not 100% sure though. And what's currently on the lot that you're trying to build a house on? Nothing is on the lot, it's empty. No concrete, no cars, no junk, no, is it empty? Yeah, I mean, when I've seen it's been pretty empty. There's a little pad of old concrete. Okay. That's it. Motion. I'm actually, if no one else has a comment, I'm happy to go ahead and make a motion. I struggle with this a little bit because obviously it's a different kind of house than the neighbors have, but I also somewhat recognize that we're in a housing crisis. This is kind of a weird, I mean, it's hard to go back and yell at someone who recorded this map in 1933, that maybe that was a better lot size at that point. I don't think we know that, but... isn't very usable with the five-foot setbacks on both sides. So I'm going to go ahead and make a motion for approval. So yeah, for VAA 25017447 to subject to findings of fact and conditions. Commissioner Lewis made a motion. Please vote. That item passes with two no's. Just be cognizant of working with the neighbors and making sure that there's no disruption to their lives. Okay? Thank you very much. Good luck with your project. Item 19 is for Toronto Bakery. This is a master sign plan amendment request with a modification to allow 940 square feet of wall signs where 540 square feet is allowed in the form of four vinyl graphics to be installed on the baking silos located at 490 East Bruner Avenue. Staff recognizes the signage is proposed for the north building elevation which does not front a public street or a right-of-way and it's only adjacent to the existing Raiders practice facility. This limits the signs visibility from the nearby thoroughfare Raiders Way to the east. Therefore staff supports this increase in sign area for the proposed signs. Staff has not received any letters in support or opposition for this item and recommends approval of this request. It will be final action unless appealed. Thank you, name and zip code for the record. Anthony Torano 89044, representing the owner of the property. Thank you, and do you agree with staff's recommendation? I do. Okay. At this time, I'll open the public hearing. Is there anyone wishing to speak on this item? Seeing no one, I'll close the public hearing. Commissioners, comments, questions, or a motion? I'll make a motion to approve MSP 2018-001934-A2, subject to conditions. Commissioner Humes made a motion, please vote. That item passes. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Item 20 has been continued to the November PC Planning Commission meeting. Item 21 is for Mosaic West Henderson, which is a two-part request. Part A is a comprehensive plan amendment to amend the land use from neighborhood type three to employment center. Part B is a zone change amendment to apply general industrial with master plan overlay zoning designation to a property with no established zoning. This will add 4.2 acres to the overall master plan. Additionally, the applicant is requesting to amend the mosaic design guidelines to add new exhibits. The subject area is generally located north of Rancho Destino and Destino Road and Roban Avenue. Staff recommends approval approval and notes that the approval of the overall mosaic master plan, therefore there is now a trend of the immediate vicinity for employment center land use. Further existing right-of-ways surrounding the parcels are to remain, thereby preserving access to the adjacent parcels not included in the master plan. Staff has received three letters in support and two in opposition for this item. Staff recommends approval of this request. This item will be forwarded to the November 4th City Council meeting for final action. Thank you. Name and zip code for the record. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Michael Tassi, 218 Lead Street, along with John Marciano at 218 Lead Street. Representing the applicant on this item, this proposal is to essentially add these two highlighted parcels about five acres into the Mosaic master plan. If you recall, the development agreement anticipates this sort of thing, so this is a minor modification to the development agreement. It just takes a number of applications to amend, to add, and update exhibits. So we thank staff for their support. We are happy to answer any questions. Great, thank you. At this time, I'll open the public hearing. Is there anyone wishing to speak on this item? Seeing no one, I'll close the public hearing. Commissioners, comments, questions, motion? No questions? I'll make a motion to approve CPA 202-501-7467 and ZCA 202-301-2292-82, subject to findings of fact and conditions. Commissioner Beeson made a motion. Please vote. That and it passes. Thank you. Item 22 is for Pueblo Pines Apartments. This is a four-part request consisting of Part A is a request to amend the comprehensive land category from commercial to transit-oriented development on 0.7 acres at the eastern corner of the site. Part B is a request to rezone the same 0.7 acres from low density residential to corridor mixed use. Part C is a request for a negotiated development agreement to allow the age-restricted development. And D is a design review for architecture and site design for a 270-unit multifamily development on 7.5 acres at the northeast corner of Pueblo Boulevard and Boulder Highway. Staff recommends approval as this proposed development supports responsible growth while providing much needed senior affordable housing. The development agreement, if approved, will permit the age-restricted use and ensure the development remains affordable for a period of 30 years. Staff has received two letters in support and three in opposition for this item. Staff recommends approval and as a reminder, there's a memorandum accompanying this item. This item will be forwarded to the November 4th City Council meeting for final action. Thank you, name is zip code for the record. Good evening, commissioners and chair. My name is Bob Feibelman and I'm with Nevada Hand located at 9121 West Russell, Suite 219, Las Vegas. We're a non-profit developer of affordable housing and have been serving the community for almost 30 years. We are here tonight to present our plans for the proposed Pueblo Pines project. This project is located on 7.52 acres at the northwest corner of Pueblo Boulevard and Boulder Highway. We're very excited to be able to bring more high quality affordable senior housing to the city of Henderson. This phased project consists of five four-story buildings, each with 54 apartments. It is also exciting to integrate this housing with the reimagined Boulder Highway project, which provides efficient mass transit and beautification to the corridor. In our neighborhood meeting, we heard about several concerns. Traffic on Pueblo is an issue. We know that senior housing has minimal impact on traffic compared to most other uses. The neighbors support affordable housing but wish that this was built elsewhere. We also consider land throughout the valley and need to find land that's available for sale and appropriate for use. This site was available, affordable, and close to shopping and public transit. The neighbors did not like the height of the buildings in that they lived in a one story community and felt that our residents would look down into their backyards. We've taken several steps to almost eliminate that concern. This property is separated from the neighbors by utility easements, which at a minimum measure 225 feet. Whereas these numbers are approximate, from varying points the distance from the neighbor wall to our buildings is 498, 476, 384, 225, 245, and 395 feet in distance. We positioned buildings to mostly not be along the north property line and even offset from parallel to further the separation. We located our dog park in the corner to further eliminate any building structure or visual impact. Under the current zoning, we're allowed to build up to 90 feet in height, but we chose to stay under 60, actually closer to 50. That's almost half of what is allowable. The neighbors spoke to having our residents looking down into their backyards, so we prepared these line of sight exhibits to show how the view from the neighboring backyards might see part of our third story and fourth floor, yet from significant distances. thus very little visual impact to the neighbors when standing in their backyards. The neighbors brought up homeless. Developing this property should positively impact that. The neighbors spoke about unkept and messy apartment projects, yet commented about how nice our Capistrano Pines project was where the meeting was held. As a local company that builds, owns, and manages almost 6,000 units across the valley, we know that this project will also be maintained to our high standards. Note that we have intentionally oriented the common area amenities to the center of the project. For amenities, we have a large combination leasing, recreation, maintenance building with staff offices, large activity room, fitness area, computer lab, warming kitchen. Outdoors, we have covered areas, swimming pool, therapy spa, dog park, garden area, walking paths, and seating areas. We're here before you requesting approval to amend a comprehensive land use plan from commercial to transit oriented development and rezoning from RS6 to corridor mixed use for a small portion of the site. Also approval of a development agreement allowing for an age-restricted community and review of architecture and site planning. With that, I'm ready to answer questions that you have. Thank you. Thank you very much. At this time, I'll open the public hearing. Is there anyone here wishing to speak on this item? Come on down. Go ahead and make a line down the center. Whoever gets to the podium first gets to speak first. So as a reminder, I'm going to ask you to state your name and zip code for the record. There is that light bar up there. It'll turn green. When it turns yellow, please wrap it up. And at red, you'll need to stop. Name and zip code for the record. ELENA NEER 89015. And I'm here to oppose these pine apartments. Our neighborhood is a one-story neighborhood. And having it bombarded with these four-story apartments is going to devastate our scenery, our neighborhood. The traffic is one thing that I'm worried about. I live on the corner of Concord Way, and already before even any of these projects started, we've had five wrecks and one even went through my house. And they've knocked out. Let's see here. OK, where did I find that out? Oh, yeah, since I've lived there, They've knocked out my house, two electric posts, two street lights, the neighbors fake there in the front yard and side swiped a car that was on the street, right? This is five. Luckily no one was hurt and the traffic from the apartments which someone said that senior housing doesn't cause a lot of traffic. We've got maintenance workers going in their nurses, we've got cabs going in their Ubers. I mean there's a lot of traffic actually that do come in and out of that place. So that's one thing you could think about and as this Andrew over here said that he wants to be thoughtful in the planning of projects and I think maybe we could compromise and maybe have these buildings at a two-story instead of a four-story. That might be a compromise we could make. Because I believe since these apartments would be government subsidized, that would give incentive to the government, the city to say, yeah, we want the money, you know, the subsidiary. But I think maybe we need to... compromise and just, you know, make it easier on the traffic, easier on the views, easier on just the whole intersection there, college and Pueblo, that street light, they're going to get backed up and maybe the traffic needs to have maybe a second look at it. Okay. Okay. Thank you very much. Okay, you're welcome. For the rest of you folks that are coming down, what we've heard is primarily a concern of traffic and the height. If you've got anything else to add, we'll be willing to hear it, but just let you know that we hear your... I won't repeat, I won't repeat because I am on the side where it's at. She's across the street. Perfect, thank you. Okay, my biggest thing is... I need your, I'm sorry, I need your name. Penny Mould, 89015. I'm the third house from the corner of Pueblo and College. Okay. And all of the ones on the even side of the street where I live, the master bedroom is right there, the master bathroom, my kitchen, my dining room. I will not be able to open my curtains in my bedroom. And just, it's at my age, it's just crazy. I've got asthma, they're digging everywhere, and they're not watering. And it's just a lot. I've lost my husband of 50 years. And we bought this as a forever home. And the lot in the back being bare is what really made us buy it because I came from Champion Village and the back of my house was on 215 and I had to replace the master bedroom window, the bathroom, the downstairs, just so that we couldn't hear the freeway and I don't want to have to do that again. Even though there was a proposal of making it a parking lot for the casino and they let it go because I said if you want to replace my windows, I'll give it up to you. But they decided not to do it so then they sold it to this guy to make these these homes, and I can appreciate that, but we've been nothing but construction across on College and Boulder, all those houses they just made. I mean, for the last four years, we've been nothing. I wake up at five o'clock in the morning and I can't sleep because the beep, beep, beep, beep. You know what I mean? It's like, these houses were made in 85, so they really don't have the insulation that new homes do. And so I would just ask that that you would not let that go in. Just for my health, you know? So, that's all I have to say is I just feel like I'm gonna be landlocked with nothing. I don't even use my water in my yard anymore because I can't afford it. So, you know, I mean, I would just ask for your mercy and maybe not put them, because they're gonna be on both sides of the streets. You know, it's just too much. It's just too much. So I appreciate your time. I respect all of you guys for listening to me. And hopefully we can come to a common area. That's all I ask. That's all I ask. Thank you very much. You're very welcome. Thank you for hearing me. So I've added to my list the view into the backyards and That was already brought up, I think, by the applicant addressing those concerns. Dirt digging and noise construction, or construction noise. Is there anything else that somebody, do you have something that you'd like to add? I would like to add solutions. Okay, beautiful, thank you. Just name and zip code for the record. Hello, my name is Linda Stiglitz-Hechendorf, 89015. I too am a resident of the single story subdivision that is adjacent to this property. I am not opposed to having housing development built there, especially in the housing crisis. What I am opposed to, as said earlier, was the height and the traffic. For those solutions, I have proposed, and I wrote this in a letter to the city of Henderson. I don't know if it got forwarded through or not. But I would like to propose that it be two-story. That would eliminate the site visibility issues. The other thing I would like to have them redo is to, with the help with the city, to develop a bridge across the channel at the end of Sausalito into the property. That would eliminate the entrance and the exit on the blind curve of Pueblo that is most of the traffic concerned. And I would also like to see that easement fully developed to continue the linear park that is coming from the east, from Roadrunner Park, that is the linear park across all of that easement. and connect the trails that are already existing between that linear park on the other side of Pueblo all the way over to Boulder Highway. There's already existing pathways coming from not only the Boulder Highway paths, but behind the casino along that small channel. If you could figure out how to build the bridge and have the entrance there, which I know would bring more traffic to my neighborhood, but it would be much safer for everybody rather than on that busy Pueblo Street. Those are my suggestions for solutions. Thank you very much. Hello, name and zip code for the record. Yes, my name is Cecilia Reardon. We live at 619 Grande Sunbrero Way. We're on the other side of Pueblo, which means we're on the other side of the canal, which means we get every transient homeless that goes through our back entrance. And because of it, they're going to put in low income, which will raise the amount of, I hate to say it, accidents, more crime, and more traffic, because there is now a lot of traffic on Newport, because people are not parking correctly, and And we have contacted code enforcement many times, which blocks us from getting in and out of our subdivision. So this is not something that's gonna just go away. It's gonna create a big problem and it's gonna create a lawsuit for the city. And I don't wanna see that happen. Thank you. Thank you very much. Come on down. Name and zip code for the record, please. Edward Stiglitz, 89015. I just want to reiterate that corner where they have the entrance and exit of this planned project. I've lived there longer than the first speaker has. I've seen over 30 accidents on that corner. People do not slow down there. And my biggest problem with this entire project is you're going to have elderly people exiting on a blind corner. And it's going to be bad. And I just wanted to make sure that you're paying attention to the really, really bad traffic problem on that corner. And you might want to talk to the city people who build the guardrail there and ask them how many times they've had to replace it. OK. Thank you very much. Is there anyone else that would like to speak on this item? Seeing no one, I'll close the public hearing. Commissioners, comments, questions, if we could have the applicant come back up. If you could put up your display that shows the entrance and exits that you've got. So that's coming in and out of Pueblo, and as the gentleman that just spoke was concerned, and they identified that there have been several accidents there, and maybe this is a question for staff, how do we control making sure that there are So there's something in place to prevent further accidents at that corner? I would like to mention that Traffic did review this as part of the staff review process. So they did, Traffic's department did review this application, had no concerns. There was also no unique conditions that they implemented onto this design review. Okay. That answers that question. A couple of the other things I'll ask you about that came up was construction noise. What's the start and stop time of construction for you normally? Well, I think the city has ordinances on work hours and they might be an hour earlier for starting in the summer, but I don't know exact hours. I don't know if it's 6 to 5 or... The city regulates that. Staff, do you know... We're taking a look right now. Okay. We'll get back to that then. And then... concern about disturbing the dirt causing dust. I'm assuming that the construction company will be controlling the dust. Isn't there a... Yes, there's dust control regulations and we abide by those. Okay. I think you addressed the view into the backyards. Is there any indication, I mean, so I'm aware of one of your properties that's on Horizon Ridge, kind of near Eastern. Is there any statistics on an increase in crime as a result of your apartments? I don't have any. Okay. And I don't think there is. I haven't seen any problem with additional homelessness or anything as a result of low income. I think a lot of times people misconstrue what low income is in terms of the apartments. But from what I've seen, just to make this known, is that I've seen that Nevada Hand does an amazing job in terms of their complexes, and I don't see that that could be a problem at this location. Is there, ask one more question about two-story versus four-story. Is four-story, tell me why you're going for a four-story complex? As you know, land is extremely expensive and the cost of that has to be amortized over units and three storey just wouldn't work. We wouldn't be able to get enough units on the property to justify it. Two or three, okay. Commissioners, any other questions? Oh, did you find your? I did. So it's 6 to 6 between October 1st and ending March 31st and then 5 a.m. to 6 p.m. between April 1st and September 30th. Okay. And that's city code? Yes. Standard, okay. Any other questions, commissioners? Yeah, I have a question. Four stories, is that equipped with elevators, stairs for emergencies as well? Yes, there's elevators in each building and there's stairs also. What about, is there a third alternative if something happens with the power going out, which I think happens pretty often? There isn't an emergency, power backup, but what we are planning to do is two elevators in each building. In case one elevator is down, there's another one that's functional. With the exception of the powers out, then you don't have either. Okay. All right. Thank you. I just have a question on that entrance and exit next to that corner. I travel that often, and that corner at Pueblo, when school goes into effect and when school gets out, is a racetrack. So coming around that corner, as you come around and somebody's exiting out of your unit, it's going to be dangerous because it's a blind sight. It's totally blind. So if there's any way, that's the only opposition I have with this is because you're putting that entrance and exit right on the corner that 100 accidents or whatever happens all the time. It's just going to be a very dangerous corner. But... I know this is zoned for commercial, so if a casino wanted to put it there or something else in a commercial zone with five stories, it's going to happen anyway because it's already zoned. So you're just asking to zone it to this. I just would like to see if you could figure out a way with the city to either get that entrance and exit off the corner some sort of stop sign, I don't know if it's too close to Boulder Highway, something to slow that down because that corner is a racetrack twice a day. I see it all the time, mostly in the morning when the parents are taking the kids to school. It's just not going to be safe. So if there's anything you can do with that. Commissioner, I would like to add that we do have a representative from traffic if you'd like to speak to them and address some questions. Sure. It's a matter of changing design. If it's a matter of putting a stop sign in, like I say, there's just something that I can see it already. Just like they say, the corner's fast. They'll use it. They're not going to change just because seniors live there. And, Bob, I concur with Commissioner Beeson. Were there any comments from traffic or... Like on this site plan, what was, I know it concurs with what we have for ordinances, but I travel that same stretch Pueblo a lot myself as well. There were no comments directed to us regarding traffic as far as I recall. I do believe that we are not allowed to have an entrance on Boulder Highway, and I think the traffic restricts the distance from the corner of where you can have an entrance, and there's utilities there. It's really the logical place for it. But again, I think respectfully, traffic would know more than we would, so I'd hate to answer those questions out of line. I think they could guide you better. We have the man of the hour behind you. Come on down. If you could just state your name and zip code for the record, please. David Meire, 89178. As far as the driveway entry is located, they are meeting all site distance requirements per standard drawings, per all traffic engineering guidelines. The closer they get to Boulder Highway, it is challenging because it does back up and queue for right turns there. I don't know the exact numbers off the top of my head, but there could possibly be some wiggle room to move it down if it worked with their design, but as far as where they have it now, it's not... worst location. And how do we control the speed of the traffic and everything else that their neighbors have complained about? We've worked in this curve for a long time and we've put up a whole bunch of additional warning signs around there to try to help calm that the best we can. The intersection at Newport and Pueblo recently warranted for an all-way stop and that has helped a little bit through there. and we're working as hard as we can to minimize it. Okay, any other questions, commissioners? Yes, so it seems to me then that you said you did put in an additional stop, correct? At Pueblo and Newport, yes, I did warrant for an all-way stop. Well, then to coincide with the issues, it's gonna be tough. Can you put in more stop signs, stop lights? what have you? I don't believe there are any other intersections between Newport and Boulder Highway along Pueblo. This entrance itself would not warrant for a signal. Is that too close to the corner to Boulder Highway to facilitate a stop sign or anything to slow that corner down? there would be nothing that would warrant a stop, like a four-way stop there, other than the controlled stop from the person leaving the property. Okay. I know the projects that this gentleman builds or his company builds. They're outstanding for senior citizens. I don't see a huge amount of traffic going the opposite direction from Boulder Highway. I would really like to see you work a little bit harder at figuring out something to do with that corner. Whether it's a city, whether it's the builder, somehow you guys work to where we get something yellow flashing lights, I don't know. Because like I say, twice a day when school's going, it's a racetrack. I don't know if you can put a police officer there all the time, which kind of facilitates, we have this problem a lot in a lot of different areas in the city. And we appreciate what you guys do, but if this isn't built here, which is a, It's a fabulous project. It doesn't even matter if it's four stories because they've done everything they can to get it to where the view is a little bit different and there's a big huge buffer between the homes. The issue with the traffic to me is not necessarily the amount of traffic, more of the speed. If you can figure out a way to slow it down, this project is gonna be a beautiful project on that corner. Another quick question for traffic. So one of the homeowners talked about, and I know that it's not private land, but because there's a utility easement there, is there something that we could come to an agreement that they could have a side entrance where the dog park is to have the entrance come up there? That's what you were saying, right? I'm sorry, the public hearing's been closed. I guess is the secondary driveway in question the one that comes off of Boulder Highway that's currently shown as emergency or a crash gate? It's a crash gate, yeah. I think they were talking over in here where the road lines over there. Oh, where the cul-de-sac currently resides? Yeah, where there's barriers right now. I don't remember off the top of my head. Is it across the channel there? No, the Sombrero houses are across the channel. Okay. The south. So your question is would access from that bulb area to the site work? It's complicated there, I think. I don't think that the property is owned by the city there and or this group. So making the connection could be challenging. So I don't know if I have a direct answer to that. I think it could possibly, but it would be very challenging. Any other questions for traffic? I have no other questions. I'll ask one question. Regardless of how the site gets developed, there's not, do you see any other options for traffic calming? Because they could also come in with a shopping center or what have you. Would there have been a different solution if it was a retail center versus apartments or? That's hard to say. I think a retail center could bring more traffic to it than a housing development would. I think the concerns could be the same regardless of what gets put there. Okay, thank you. Any other questions? Other traffic? I think it's just worth noting if I may that. And I know it's been mentioned there is a 30 foot wide easement where this driveway is located. So the idea from a planning perspective of moving these buildings along Pueblo Street to find a different location for the driveway would be complicated because nothing can be built over that easement. So that's kind of a no man's land, if you will, for a built, for a structure. And so it has to be maintained as parking or a driveway because of that easement. We did explore the idea of trying to find a way to locate the driveway in a different place on Pueblo meeting all of the transportation the traffic engineering standards for How close it would be to Pueblo Boulevard and acknowledging that there is this easement that cannot be built upon and so this seemed to be the best scenario and That's part of the reason that we were happy with the dog park in this location because Nothing vertical would be located there. There'd be some landscaping But it would comply with all site visibility standards as well So this was something that we've taken some long hard looks at collectively Any other questions? Just another comment. The city of Henderson is very diligent. They cover all their bases and they go above and beyond. Is there any way that all of you guys can get together again and figure something out? I feel confident the city will figure out something in addition to what's going on right now so it's not so dangerous for these people that are there. What about the guys that are on crutches, wheelchairs? I mean, we haven't even addressed that part yet because it exists, especially in an elderly environment. I'd just like to see you guys regroup, but that's my opinion. Any other questions? No. Thank you very much for your time. Do we have any other questions for the applicant? Is there somebody that would like to attempt a motion? All right. We'll go ahead and go. Unless anyone else has any more comments, questions. I think we've heard from traffic. This is a challenging project because there are You have a site that kind of got boxed in without when you can't have access to Boulder Highway. There's not a back entrance. You're sort of stuck with an entrance somewhere on Pueblo. And obviously, we've heard there's quite a few challenges with Pueblo that need to get addressed. And that's going to be a combination, I think, of traffic and probably way better enforcement because parents are really bad drivers trying to get rid of their kids every morning. But at the same time, again, I keep looking and I keep harping on the critical need for housing. Nevada Hand has done a lot of good projects. Probably this is the least bad solution to me is because you don't have a lot of drivers probably among the residents. You do have mass transit with the Boulder Highway project. So to me, probably this is the least bad solution. Way less traffic, I think, than commercial. So I'm going to go ahead and make a motion for approval of CPA 2025017496, DEV2025017381 DRA2025017502 subject to finding the facts and conditions. Did I get the zone change in there? Okay, sorry. CCA2025017497. Again, subject to findings of fact and conditions. Commissioner Lewis made a motion, please vote. And that out and it passes. Good luck with your project and please work with traffic and see if you can figure out a solution because I think the neighbors brought up some very good concerns about Pueblo and the speed along there. We will, thank you very much. Thank you very much. Next item. Item 23 is for Lauren Williams and Lake Mead Residential Development within the Falls Master Plan at Lake Las Vegas. This is a six-part request consisting of Part A, a request to amend the comprehensive land use category from commercial to low density residential. Part B is to amend, to request, request to amend the master plan by rezoning the subject site from neighborhood commercial with a master plan and hillside overlays to low density residential with master plan and hillside overlays. They're going to zoom in. Part C is a conditional use permit for utility major use, a wastewater lift facility. Part D is a waiver of standards to increase The height of the retaining wall in the hillside overlay from six feet to nine feet with no horizontal offset. Part E is a tentative map for 31 lot single family residential subdivision and common lots. And part F is a design review for landscaping for our residential subdivision on eight acres located at the northwest corner of Lauren Williams Parkway and Lake Mead Parkway.

And if you want to pull the mic down, you can do that. There you go. Helen Demarest, 89012. My main concern is with all the construction in that area. Basically, where the construction traffic on Stephanie Street all the new construction going on at McDonald Ranch and McDonald Highlands, our concerns, I am a member of the Travass HOA, so I'm here representing our constituents in that community. Our concerns are the construction traffic on Stephanie Street, raised this concern with councilman Seabock about a year ago and he came back he went up and saw the property he saw the situation I sent him videos he sees what's going on we were advised that at that time this construction traffic on Stephanie was going to be moved to Veneto Pintero and it would be completed in 2025. Now I know we have a little bit more to go but the traffic right now has gotten exponentially larger. As of this date the traffic has gotten worse. It starts at 5 a.m. The cars come and sit and park along Stephanie Street right in front of Foothills Montessori School. And the noise level is extensive. We have diesel trucks, we have cement trucks, we have cars with radios on playing music. And of course right now the weather's nice so that's a real deterrent. And it's taken our residences at least sometimes 30 minutes or more just to get into our entrance, not to mention any construction people that we have working on our houses trying to get in to do work. So they're delayed in doing that. The Foothills Montessori School for me seems to be my biggest concern. I have watched and I have videotaped cars because of the construction lane it's backed up all the way to Arroyo Grande or more. I don't know if you know where that's at, but it's two blocks down. And the parents have a drive lane that they're supposed to be able to go ahead and get to drop their kids off. Can't do it because they can't get up to that drive lane because the construction traffic is all the way down to Arroyo Grande. When they do get up there, then there's other cars that are trying to come in across Stephanie, trying to get in through there, Then I've seen almost two accidents with that trying to happen because the construction traffic is blocking the street. We feel that the parents cannot get the access to the Stephanie's teacher drop off their children. I've witnessed those. We realize that we can't stop the building up there. I wish we could because the mountain looks terrible at McDonald, the Rancho McDonald Highlands. But we as a community and I as a representative of Travoss I would like to request that the City of Henderson and the construction companies have all the construction traffic. I'll let you finish what you were going to say. Thank you. Move to the street such as Veneno Panito to allow Stephanie Street to be open to the residences and to the school and then to be completed as soon as possible. Thank you. Thank you. Is there anyone else wishing to speak on this item? Seeing no one, I'll close a public hearing. So you heard the concerns. It was my understanding that all that construction traffic was in fact going up a different street. Is it going up Stephanie? You are correct, so while I have empathy with her concerns, none of this project's traffic is going through the Stephanie Street entrance. It's all entering through Viento Puntero, so this application doesn't really have anything to do with the issues with Stephanie construction traffic. So we've opened up the third gate. There is a construction gate at Viento Puntero. All of that project goes through Viento Puntero, and they're conditioned actually in the development agreement to use Viento Puntero. So Stephanie's a complete other issue, and it's not relevant to this application. So do you know what traffic that is by chance? That would be just general construction traffic for all of the homes that are being built in that area. Okay. That's what I suspect. Okay. Any other questions? I was just going to ask, when do you guys think you'll be completed? I see we've added a bunch, you know, obviously there are costs just for extending time, but what do you actually think you'll be completed? For the towers or all of MacDonald Highlands? Towers, I think. For the towers, you're looking at probably two and a half years to move in. The extension is mostly a lender requirement just in case there's an issue during construction. They want to be able to complete the project and not have the development agreement expire. But if all things go as planned, probably move-ins in about two and a half years and hopefully be done in less than three. And since you have some insight, when do you think the full McDonald Highlands will build out since you're hanging out with us? I mean, we've got some stragglers that we're not sure how long it'll take them to build the houses. In general, the larger houses up there take two years to build, and we still do have lots for sale. So I would figure probably two years to sell out, two years to design, and two years to build. So my guess would be six or seven years to completely wrap up. But the traffic should be reducing. I think part of that is the track builders and maybe the more larger production stuff that's getting done. So when some of the larger volume building gets done, you're just gonna be seeing your general custom home construction traffic on Stephanie and it should reduce. So I would hope probably within about a year, you'll see a reduction on Stephanie. And we may be able to get more people through Viento Pintero once it's paved. We're working with the city on finalizing the section for the street there. And then once we pave it. So right now the towers comes in, but a lot of the other contractors' vehicles don't go because it is not paved yet. It's a dirt road, so we can't make everybody go through there. And it's too far away. Stephanie is a few miles away, so there's a lot of construction near the Stephanie Gate, and we can't reroute them three miles away to wiggle through the rest of the community. Thank you. so I'll just get that update, thanks, while you're here. Any other questions? Is there somebody that would like to make a motion? I'll make a motion to approve DEV-2022-009-469-A2.

At this time I'll open the public hearing. Is there anyone wishing to speak on this item? Sir, come on down. I just need your name and zip code for the record and you'll have three minutes. My name is Dwayne Schrader, 89044. I oppose this. I did send one in to email. I guess you didn't get it. I got a letter back that says you did, was going to pass it. Anyway, my problem is here is two reasons. We're being dwarfed by these high-rise apartments going around an elderly community of 68 homes. And I'm not really liking the idea of all those eyes looking down in our backyards when I go on vacation, looking to see when I put my suitcase in. And they'll know that home's being vacant for several days. My main concern is on the north side of Volunteer Street, there's a flood retention basin. And there's four washes that go across this property. And that's the entrance to that flood retention basin. What are they going to do with all them washes? One leaves our community. The other one goes along the side of it. And there's a major one that goes through. I don't know if you can see this map here that he has here. The other one that goes across, comes out of our neighborhood, goes across Placid, enters right here. The other one comes down across here, across the back of these other six homes, which is not in my community, but mine's over here. There's a major one here that's taken this whole area here, and there's two small ones coming through here. This is the flood retention basin. Everything's going into that area. I want to know what he's going to do with all them washes. I mean, obviously, you're expecting a lot of water. since the city of Henderson built that retaining basin. That's my question. Okay. Thank you very much for your time. Perhaps we can address that? Well, presently there's no development proposal to speak to, so it's difficult to, it's just land use and zoning. Obviously, the constraint of the WASH is not, it's there in any future developer. If it's successful going through auction, somebody purchases it from the BLM, any future developer would have to work within those constraints and obviously staff would be careful and obviously study that part of that particular aspect of the development. Okay. That's what I was suspecting. Any other questions? Let me close the public hearing. I'm sorry. Commissioners, comments, questions or a motion? I make a motion to approve CPA 2025017460 and CZA 2025017461, subject to findings of fact and conditions. Commissioner Humes made a motion. Please vote.

Thank you. Chair, staff agree with recommendation and proposed conditions. Thank you. At this time I'll open the public hearing. Come on down. I'll just need your name and zip code for the record. You'll have three minutes. Murad Sahin 89044. Chairman and Commissioners, thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak here tonight. My name is Murad Sahin. I'm a resident of 2271 Laszlo Point Street. I'm here today because I care deeply about the future of the community and not just for myself, but everyone who is choosing to make this neighborhood their home. when many of us purchase our properties we were told that by lunar homes that no additional buildings or commercial developments would be constructed behind our homes and that understanding was one of the major factor in our decision to buy here and i trusted that that open area behind my house would remain as is, peaceful, natural, and free from large-scale development. Now hearing that commercial building may be approved in that space feels like a breach of original understanding. And it raises serious concerns, not only about traffic, noise, and light pollution, but also about property values and privacy, and the character of our community. the development or progress but I do believe that development should align with the promise made to the residents and the long-term vision of livable family-friendly neighborhood. Instead of commercial building, I respectfully propose that this land to be used for something that truly benefits the community such as green space like park, walking trail or recreational area. Thank you so much. Thank you very much. Appreciate your time. Is there anyone else that would like to speak on this item? Seeing no one, I'll close the public hearing. Yes, Chair. Obviously, in terms of Lenard Properties, we can't account for what a developer would advise future residents. But in terms of the land use and zone change, so as you can see, the current planned land use is urban center, which is your kind of highest level in terms of intensity. in terms of commercial uses that could go on there. So the neighborhood commercial actually in effect down zones what could go on there in terms of the impacts on the adjacent residences. And the public, semi-public area to the right can still accommodate development. It's not just a park, it could be other things. For instance, the community ambulance development recently entitled and approved by the city is located to the other side of that PS space. So it kind of illustrates what could go on there. So development arguably was always envisaged for that location. It's located next to a minor arterial and major collector so the roads can accept future development. The neighborhood commercial is related to more locally servant retail to sort of minimize the impacts on residences. It's the kind of retail I can see in a residential community. In terms of a park, a Tessa Park is just a half a mile down the road and the city has no plans or intentions to develop a park there. So it's not like a future park is planned there. So on balance when we looked at the surrounding community we thought neighborhood commercial was the most appropriate proposal, hence the submission. Okay, thank you. Any of your comments or questions? On the last 10 or so that you've done, I know this is BLM land that's been outlying all over the place, so the city's been working to match the zoning of what's next to it, corners, arterials, like you just said, this big corner. So I understand what you're doing, and I would like to say that this is just the beginning. I mean, if a developer comes in and you can go after want park space with the developer, you can go with that. Right now it's just a matter of zoning. These pieces of property that are in donut holes that the city's trying to clean up so they can be developed at some time. But that may be 10 years, 20 years down the road. The way West Erneston's going, maybe tomorrow. It's insane out there. So I feel for you because I've lived here all my life and at one time I think somebody told me there was never going to be anything built here. So I feel for you. I hope they do it right. Stay in touch with what's happening in the neighborhood because what will happen is a developer will show up. It will be zoned commercial now and you want to work with that. You want to make sure you're up to date with that so you know what's going on so you can work with it and actually help what you're doing with your house and your neighborhood. So I appreciate your input but right now we're just basically cleaning up a whole lot of paperwork and zoning for these different donor holes that BLM sold or somehow got to Henderson. I'm not sure how that worked. But we really appreciate your input, but please stay informed because sooner or later it's gonna happen because it's a corner. So with that... I would also add, actually zoning into commercial for corners is actually gonna improve your property, actually. Having enough commercial, a lot of times, especially in areas like yours where there's not a lot of infrastructure, you could call it infrastructure or commercial, is it actually people... because the length of distance for commercial becomes an issue, without good planning, like what the city's doing here, you end up getting out there and then nothing's out there and everyone's like, I gotta travel so far. And the city also is one of the top cities in the world, actually, for parks. So any comments on parks and open spaces? be proud to be a citizen of Henderson because our parks are first in class and the distance is usually less than two miles. Staff, did you have any? I'd just like to add, and Mr. Jukes has covered all the pertaining and he's done it wonderfully. I just wanted to add too that any commercial project that would go to this site because there's residential adjacent would have to comply with the city's residential adjacency standards. That would include limitations to the height of the lights, hours of operation, the types of noise that they can make. And so there are protections in place to the zoning code when it comes to commercial development near residential. And just to reiterate one thing Mr. Truke said is the existing category out there, urban center allows for community commercial, which is our most intense commercial district. This proposal is commercial neighborhood, which severely limits the type of commercial that can go there because it's adjacent to residential. And so this is akin to a down zoning of this site from our point of view. And so I think he covered that, but I just wanted to reiterate that the zoning code does put in protections for residential adjacency. And I will say we've done a lot of work out here in West Henderson. It's probably not the first time that we've heard from a neighbor that they were told by the person selling them the home that nothing would ever be built behind them. And it's an unfortunate thing. And we always urge our residents to call the city of Henderson. We're happy to talk to you about what's going on behind, near, around your property because once you make that decision and you move in, I know it's a very complicated thing to do otherwise. And so we appreciate hearing from our neighbors, but we just want to reiterate what the effort here is to do, and that's to make this more compatible with the residential that exists there. Yeah, there was supposed to be a city pool in my neighborhood, and that never happened. But that was what was proposed, and I remember signing something that was near no guarantee. that was going to happen, but that was something that was kind of discussed. Are there any other comments, questions, or a motion? I'll make a motion to approve CPA 202-501-7470, ZZA 202-501-7471, subject to findings of fact and conditions. Commissioner Beeson made the motion. Please vote. That item passes. Item 33 is the 2026 Planning Commission meeting schedule. Planning Commission shall set and accept a Planning Commission meeting schedule for the year of 2026 in accordance with Article III, Section 1 of the bylaws. As a reminder, this is an action item and must be open for public input. Okay, do we have a, we don't have to have an applicant on this one, it's just opening for public input. What did you say? It's not a public hearing, but we do have to call for public. No public hearing? We have to call for public comment. Oh, public comment. At this time, I'll open for public comment. Is there anyone here wishing to speak on this particular item? I deny. Yeah, nice. I'll close the public comment. Commissioners, is there some... I'm going to make a motion. I want to make a motion on this one. I don't think the chairman can make a motion. I certainly can. I have a right to do that. So I'm going to make a motion to approve the Planning Commission meeting schedule for the year 2026 in accordance with Article 3, Section 1 of the bylaws. I may the motion please vote. I don't think I can vote on this. You can. And that item passes. This brings us. To the public comment portion of the meeting, items discussed under public comment cannot be acted upon at this meeting. Is there anyone here wishing to address the commission? Seeing no one, I'll close the public comment section. So that brings us to staff and chair's business. Staff, do you have anything you'd like to share? No, we've said our piece at the beginning of the meeting, but enjoy your treats. And again, we appreciate all the work and we're heading into the holiday season, so we'll see you in a month and we'll do this all over again. All right. Well, and I will say that I truly appreciate the little treats that you provided. And to the rest of the staff and the folks behind the booth over there, thank you for all that you do. Have a great month. Eddie paid for those out of his own pocket. What's that? Eddie paid for those out of his own pocket. Oh, wow. Eddie, thank you so much, Eddie. Thanks, Eddie. And with that, I'll adjourn. I think they were frozen, actually, from last year. With that, I'll adjourn the meeting. True fact, you can't order these. Oh, my goodness.
