Is there a motion to accept the agenda? I make a motion to accept the agenda. All right, we have a motion to accept the agenda from Commissioner Humes. Please vote. Agenda is approved as noted. Our first item is a presentation on National Fair Housing Month. I'd like to invite Fernanda Villesonor, Education Outreach Coordinator for Silver State Fair Housing Council to the podium at this time. Hi, everyone. My name is Fernanda Villesonor-Heikki. I'm the Education Outreach Coordinator for Silver State Fair Housing Council. I want to start by saying thank you for having me here today on behalf of our Board of Trustees and our staff, especially the City of Henderson for their commitment to ensuring equal housing opportunity. We are a private nonprofit organization. We assist the state of Nevada to ensure equal housing opportunity. We get grants from HUD and local jurisdictions. such as the city of Henderson to be able to do our job. So thank you for that. And you might be wondering, what am I doing here today? I want to talk to you a little bit about fair housing and how there are some tools that can be used when it comes to the planning commission. But first, what is fair housing? There are seven protected characteristics at a federal level, and that is race, color, national origin, religion, sex, family status, and disability. We all have a race, a color, and we all come from somewhere. religion, all religions are protected, and not having a religion is also covered under fair housing law. In addition to that, sex includes sexual harassment as well, family status, the presence of children under the age of 18 in the household, and lastly, disabilities, and that can be either a mental or physical disability that would be covered under fair housing. In addition, Nevada state law has protections for ancestry, sexual orientation, and gender identity and expression. If someone believes that they have been discriminated in housing, they can file a complaint with HUD, the Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity. They are the ones that make sure the Fair Housing Act is being followed. And also the NERC. So that is the Nevada Equal Rights Commission as well. With that being said, some of the fair housing issues that we have seen that affect the Planning Commission, not particularly Henderson's, but in general that we have seen throughout 30 years in the state of Nevada, the big one is the designing construction. I don't know if you guys are familiar with it, but essentially what the designing construction requirements, there are seven requirements. In this requirement, essentially, it helps people with disability to be able to fully enjoy their dwelling. Now, who has to comply with this? Any multifamily housing bill for first occupancy after March 13, 1991 has to adhere to those design and construction requirements. And just to give you an example, there are seven of them, but that would be, for example, how high or low a light switch might be, right? To ensure that someone in a wheelchair is able to turn on and off the light to adjust temperature and all that good stuff. Also, if Has anyone heard of Not In My Backyard, right? We heard that. We hear those type of complaints all the time. Again, in general, I'm not saying this is from the city of Hunterson, but in general, where we're saying, oh, there's going to be low-income housing, for example, built. Oh, well, we don't want those type of people living here or not in this certain zip code. Something along those lines could definitely affect when it comes to planning and zoning. Also, We understand that there is free speech, and we are very thankful for that. But with fair housing, the caveat here is you cannot act on those discriminatory statements. And lastly, group home, group homes for people with disability restrictions, right? Or we're not going to build in certain areas or anything along those lines could affect, especially when it comes to planning, zoning. So it's very important that anyone that is planning to develop knows about fair housing and also inspectors are very aware of it. And most importantly, for all of you to know that we are here as a resource, our agency is here to provide any fair housing resources you may need. Give us a call. email us at any time. We're happy to assist you and we're happy to attend any meeting that the Commission may have in the future. We're always here at your service. Thank you. Thank you so much for coming up to talk to us. All right. This brings us to the consent agenda consisting of items two through five. Is there anyone here who wishes to have an item pulled from the consent agenda for discussion or public comment? Seeing no one, may we have a motion on the consent agenda items 2 through 5. I would move for approval. Motion from Commissioner Brunson. And that motion passes. Staff, may we hear the first item, please. Yes, good afternoon Vice Chair Lewis and Commissioners. Item six is a master sign plan amendment request for modification from the development code to increase the maximum height of a freestanding sign to 40 feet located at 1469 East Lake Mead Parkway. The Title 19 standard for freestanding signs in the CT zoning district limits the height to 30 feet. However, the proposed sign was previously approved for a height of 34 feet 8 inches. At the February 13th Planning Commission meeting, the item was continued 60 days to give the applicant time to work with staff on a resolution. The applicant revised the sign design by adding a cupola, which is similar to the existing sign, but did not lower the height as recommended. Staff recommends denial as a proposed height increase for this freestanding sign lacks justification for exceeding the Master Sign Plan's existing maximum height limit for freestanding signs. This action will be final unless appealed. All right, thank you. May we hear from the applicant? Do we have an applicant on item six? Applicant six, sign. What do you guys want to do? Do we want to trail this to the end of the agenda? No. I think it's fair to three. All right, we'll go ahead and trail. That would be our recommendation is to trail. Why don't we go ahead and trail item six to the end of the agenda and see if our applicant can make it for us. All right, I guess we'll go ahead and close that item and move on to item seven. Actually, item seven is withdrawn. Item eight is a request to vacate multiple patent easements and portions of Wrights-A-Way generally located south from the intersection of Larson Lane and Rancho Destino Road. This item was continued from March 13th planning commission meeting due to a notification error. Staff recommends approval. This item will be heard at the April 15th City Council meeting. All right, and before we hear from our applicant, let me go ahead and read a disclosure that my employer, Lewis Management Corp., is in the process of selling and has sold land to Lennar, the developer of the West Henderson NT Forum, and affiliated the applicant on item number eight. The property sold by my employer is located in California and not in any way related to this application, nor am I involved with the sale of the property. I don't believe the sale would materially affect my in considering the matter, and I don't believe that it would affect the independence of judgment of a reasonable person in my situation. I have been advised by Council to make this disclosure pursuant to Nevada Ethics Laws, but I do not need to abstain from voting on this item. All right, applicant, tell us about your item. Name and zip for the record. Excuse me. Thank you, Madam Vice Chair. Tom Amick, 1980 Festival Plaza. Here with me is Mr. Tassi. We're here on behalf of Lenar and Mosaic for the vacation. This would have ran along with all of the other applications that you guys heard a month ago, but there was a notice issue with this one. So this one had to trail by 30 days. This is patent easements and a couple portions of right-of-way that we're vacating with the NT4 portion that staff is in support of. So we happen to answer any questions if you have. Thank you. At this time, we will open the public hearing. Is there anyone present that wishes to speak on this item? All right. Seeing no one, go ahead and close the public meeting. Commissioners, any discussions or questions? If there's no questions, sir, I will make a motion to approve item number VAC, 202-401-6011. All right, we have a motion from Commissioner Beeson.

This is just re-approval of a vacation of a patent easement. We had it previously approved due to delays in construction.

It's for a 38-square-foot wall-mounted sign located at 1661 West Galleria Drive. The EMS is proposed to be located on the east elevation facing the main drive aisle in Galleria. The proposed EMS sign does not face any nearby residential. The Clark County School District has made similar requests at other schools throughout the city of Henderson in an effort to modernize their signage. Staff recommends approval. This action would be final unless appealed. All right, may we hear from the applicant. State your name and zip code for the record, please. Paulette Marshall, 1180, Military Tribute 89074. We agree with staff's recommendations. I can answer any questions you have. Thank you. At this time, we'll open the public hearing. Is there anyone present that wishes to speak on this item? Seeing none, we'll go ahead and close the public hearing. Commissioners, any discussion or questions? If there's no questions, we'll move to approve MSP 202-501-6318.

This item is a master sign plan amendment request for modification from the development code to reduce the front setback for a monument sign from 15 feet to 7 feet. It's for a car dealership located at 7779 Eastgate Road. This is the same freestanding sign that was received approval at the February Planning Commission meeting to increase the sign height, and it still remains the only freestanding sign for the site. Staff recommends approval. The action would be final and less appealed. All right, applicant, name and address, name and zip code for the record, please. Josh Hunter, 89166, and I agree with the staff recommendation. All right, I'll go ahead and open the public hearing. Is there anyone here wishing to talk on this item? Looks like no one's here to discuss this item, so I'll go ahead and close the public hearing. Commissioners, any questions, discussion? No comments from the commissioners. I make a motion to approve MSP202016047A1, subject to conditions and modifications. And there's a motion on the floor from Commissioner Grimmanoskas. Please vote. And that motion passes. Let's hear the next item. Item 13 is a waiver request from the Lake Las Vegas North Shore Development Standards to reduce the patio setback from 10 feet to one foot located at 1700 Strata Carducci. This request applies solely to the setback requirements established by the North Shore Master Plan and does not waive any of the City of Henderson Title 19 development standards. The proposed 112 square foot patio cover is located at the rear of the corner lot while a small portion of the patio cover extends to a one foot setback It's about approximately five square feet. The majority of the structure maintains the required six-foot setback, reducing the overall impact. The property is bordered by open space at the rear and corner. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated. This request meets the code-required compensating benefit to provide upgrades in architectural design. Staff recommends approval. This action would be final unless appealed. Staff has received zero responses from the public notice. Thank you, Madam Chair. Sorry. Before our applicant speaks, I'd like to go ahead and do another disclosure. Oh, yes, that's right. On item 13, my employer, Lewis Management Corp., is in the process of selling and has sold land to Lenar, an affiliate of the applicant on the item 13. The property sold by my employer is located in California and not in any way related to this application, nor am I involved with the sale of the property. I don't believe this sale would materially affect my judgment in considering the matter, and I don't believe it would affect the independence of judgment of a reasonable person in my situation. I've been advised by council to make the disclosure present to Nevada Ethics Law. us, but I do not need to abstain from voting. Applicant name and zip code, please. Thank you, Madam Chair. Commissioner Tom Amick, 1980 Festival Plaza. I'm here on behalf of the applicant, which is Lenar, for this application. This is the approved parcel KN subdivision that is part of Lake Las Vegas and the North Shore. We're talking about this one lot right there, Lot 33, that's kind of highlighted for you. So we've got a patio cover that's highlighted there in yellow. You can see the regular shape of the lot that creates a setback issue. That's a Lake Las Vegas standard, by the way, not a Henderson Municipal Code standard. So as staff notes, we are on the back and on the side there, it's all open space, we're not adjacent to anybody. So it's that one instance on that one lot with no impact. So we appreciate that recommendation of approval and we can answer any questions if you have them. All right. Thank you. I'll go ahead and open the public hearing. Is there anyone here to speak on this item? Seeing no one, I'll go ahead and close the public hearing. Commissioners, questions, discussion, thoughts? I'll make a motion to approve WOS-2025-012. 6403, subject to findings of fact, condition, and a waiver. And there's a motion on the floor from Commissioner Humes. And the motion passes. Thank you. Thank you. Staff, bring us item 14. This item 14 is a conditional use permit amendment request for wireless communications tower. It's from a self flagpole to a non-stealth tower to accommodate six antennas and six remote radio heads. It's located at 2413 Ashley Drive. The applicant is requesting to remove the flag to accommodate additional TANA equipment, thereby making the facility a non-stealth tower. The new equipment will be a co-location with three other carriers and will provide 5G coverage in the area. Staff recommends approval. This action will be final unless appealed. Staff has received two responses from the public in support and three are opposed. All right, applicant, name and zip code for the record, please. Sterling Massey, 89015. All right. Do you agree with staff's recommendations? Yes, I agree with the recommendations. Is there anything else you want to comment on or are you good? No, I'm good. This is just an effort for T-Mobile to expand its coverage to the surrounding community, which will benefit the residents and emergency services. Excellent. All right, I'll go ahead and open the public meeting. Is there anyone who wishes to speak on this item? It does not appear anyone's here to speak on this item, so go ahead and close the public hearing and commissioners. Ms. Make a motion to approve CUP-200-254-0051-A1, subject to conditions and approvals. Ms. All right, there's a motion on the floor from Commissioner Grimmanoskas. Motion passes. Thank you very much for coming. Thank you very much. Staff. Ready for the next item? 15. Sure. Item 15 is a conditional use permit with modification request from the Downtown Master Plan Atlantic Townsite District to allow an office as a primary use where the Downtown Master Plan standards require an office to be an accessory use as part of a vertical or horizontal mixed use project. It's located at 222 West Atlantic Avenue. The proposed conversion of an existing single-family residence to an office use is for a pest control business that will be used primarily by employees between the hours of 8.30 to 5 o'clock, Monday through Friday. The building exterior has already been enhanced with painted exterior and window upgrades, including a rooftop mechanical equipment that has been painted to match with a blending color scheme. Staff recommends approval. This action will be final unless appealed. Staff has received zero responses from the public notice in support, but received one in opposition. All right. Thank you. We have a disclosure from Commissioner Humes. Pursuant to Nevada ethics laws, I would like to disclose that I represented the applicant in a real estate transaction where he purchased a building that is subject to of this application. The judgment of a reasonable person in my situation could be materially affected in considering this matter, and thus I have been advised by Council to make the disclosure pursuant to the Nevada Ethics Law and to abstain from deliberation in voting on this matter. All right, thank you. Applicant, name and zip code for the record. My name is Nick Strobel, 89015. All right, have you read through staff's recommendations? Yeah, I did, and I appreciate the recommended approval. All right, thank you. Is there anyone, I'd like to open the public meeting. Is there anyone in the audience who'd like to speak on this item? All right. Name and zip code for the record, please. James Durbin 89014. I prepared a statement, if that's all right. Oh, for sure. My name is James J Durbin. I'm a licensed clinical social worker and a traumatologist who works with individuals, families, children, and first responders throughout Southern Nevada. I'm here today to express my strong support for the approval of this conditional use permit, which would allow professional office use as a primary function within the Atlantic Townsite District. As someone who works from a professional office located at 211 West Atlantic Avenue, I've seen firsthand how well integrated office use can support the quiet, service-oriented characteristic of the neighborhood. The presence of a professional office in this district, like mine, can contribute to the area's sense of stability, safety, and long-term viability. This permit requested is consistent with the spirit and goals of the Downtown Henderson Master Plan. The Master Plan envisions a vibrant, connected, and mixed-use downtown, a place where thoughtful development enhances both economic fatality and quality of life. Approving the request supports the vision by making room for professional services that are compatible with both neighborhood and long-term goals of the district. Importantly, this type of office use is not high traffic or disruptive. From my own experience working in the area, I know that these offices operate quietly, respectfully within the existing fabric of the neighborhood. They bring a sense of purpose and consistency to block without altering its residential feel. But perhaps most significantly, this permit strengthens the connective tissue of downtown. The streets that link Atlantic Townsite to Water Street are more than boundaries. They're transitional corridors that make the break make or break the walkability, character, and momentum of the revitalization effort. Allowing a professional office use in this location contributes to the critical mass necessary to bring the downtown master plan to life. It builds a bridge between residential roots and a thriving commercial core. This isn't about changing the neighborhood. It's about honoring the evolution with thoughtful, compatible uses that enhance its future. Thank you for your time, your vision, and your continued commitment to shaping a vibrant, sustainable downtown Henderson. Thank you. Thank you. Is there anyone else who wishes to speak on this item? Thank you. Name and zip code for the record, please. My name is Han, and my zip code is 89015. May I speak? After thoroughly reviewing the application submitted by Nick and consulting with Amber environment, I learned that the residential property in question will be used to store chemicals, specifically those using pesticides. While these chemicals may have been safely stored in small quantities without incidents in the past, their mere presence introduces the potential for accidents. As a pet owner with dogs and a baby on the way, I am deeply concerned about the proximity of the storage to my house. I have no objections to the proposal of the conditional use permit allowing the property to be used as an administrative office. However, I strongly oppose the lack of clear regulations concerning the storage of chemicals in an office located within a residential area, especially one where many families live and where my children eat, sleep, and play. I respectfully urge the Council to establish clear written regulations regarding the storage of chemicals at this location and to ensure the property specifically used as an office for the safety of our neighborhood. After speaking with Nick yesterday, he proposed using an indoor space within the house to store the chemicals rather than the shack outside. Given the uncertainty surrounding unauthorized access after hours and the potential for harmful fumes from chemicals exposed to the heat inside the shack, especially in the summer with no air conditioning, I believe the Council should mandate that the chemicals to be stored inside the house rather than in the shack to ensure accountability and safety. I also request the Council consider requiring renovations to a space on the side yard approximately 12 feet long, which is loosely boarded up. This area should be reinforced when the shack is removed on the south side of the property. There have been incidents in the past where people have entered the yard, stolen items, or attempted to sleep on the property when the house was empty. Securing this area would help prevent unauthorized access and increase safety for the neighborhood, especially for families with children and pets. Once these two measures are put in place, I have no further concerns or objections. Thank you. Is there anyone else who wishes to speak on this item? All right, I'll go ahead and close the public hearing and then maybe commissioners if they have questions, concerns, discussion, we can address the applicant. Can you explain how much chemicals and we didn't hear this in briefing on the shack compared to in the office, how many chemicals are there? Extremely little. I would say if you had a box about this big, maybe two of those boxes is the full amount that we have at any one point. The chemicals are not restricted use, which means that they are available to buy from the public. So if you, any person without a license can purchase the pest control products online and have them delivered to their house and store them in their own houses without any license. The license allows us to apply them to other people's homes, whereas if you buy them yourself, you can only apply them to your own home. And so the products are regulated by the Department of Agriculture. I appreciate his comments. I really do. And I appreciate our conversation we had with him yesterday. The side yard he mentioned as well. I'm sorry, may I continue? Or if you have more questions about that, I can... Next question is, where are you going to address the side yard? Yeah. I noticed that this little section here, I can put down a picture. And I brought a photo, actually. This is the side yard that connects the property with Mr. Hahn's property. You see that okay? Oh, is it? Okay, so that's the south side of the property. And as you can see there, he has that professionally installed fence that's black. That looks really nice. But for some reason, those white boards look like old doors and they've been the divider of the two properties for a while and that's something Han and I have talked about that we want to fix as well as part of the process we want to make that a professional wall that separates the two locations and so that's the sidewall that we want to do right there and then also I just want to note real fast that on the back of the wall as you can see here That's the back fence as it looks right now. It looks pretty old and tattered and almost looks like it's falling over. We are planning on fixing that as well. So that's another angle of it. It's been held up by boards and so we're going to replace the whole thing with a cinder block wall and a nice professional looking gate which would elevate the look and the feel of the property on both sides from the side and the back wall as well as doing front yard landscaping to make it look and feel more like a neighborhood. Can you explain to us the And you've told us that they're fairly available. Do you have an objection to keeping them inside in the house versus in the shed? Normally, when someone has a pest control business, they operate out of their home. And the normal place someone stores their product for every pest control business that doesn't have an office is inside their garage. And they have a cabinet in the garage that has a lock on it. And that's the only requirement by the Department of Agriculture is have that lock on a cabinet. And so garages are not air-conditioned throughout Nevada. And so that would be no difference between a shed on the back of the house versus a garage having a... no air conditioning where the products are stored. And so I don't see a big difference between the two. They're not heat sensitive, the chemicals? Correct. They're not heat sensitive and they are sheltered in the same way a garage would be sheltered. You don't happen to have a picture of the shed, do you? I'm just kind of curious. Let's see. The only thing I have is right here. You can see the shed would be Existing shed is that one right there. Mr. Hahn's house is on this side, and this is the shed that we would have locked down that we put the product in. And I assume it's some kind of like a pretty secure lock, not like a lock kid's locker lock, like it's a really legit lock. Yes, it's a very secure lock. I actually have a monitor on my phone. I can know at all times if it's ever been tampered with at any point. Very secure law. Do other people have questions? If you can assure us that you'll address that block wall and the chemicals inside the thing, I'd move to approve. So we're good with that? Yes. Okay. Then I'll move to approve CUP 202-501-6097. subject to findings of facts, conditions, and modifications. All right, there's a motion on the floor from Commissioner Beeson. That motion passes with Commissioner Humes abstaining. Please be a good neighbor and get the true wall up as soon as possible. Yeah. Absolutely. Thank you very much. Thank you. Staff, bring on the next item. Okay, item 17 is a two-part request for two conditional use permits for vehicle rental and vehicle sales located at 1241 American Pacific Drive, Suite 154 within the Gibson Business Park. The proposed vehicle rental and sales facility will occupy a 7,300 square foot tenant space within an existing commercial building. The floor plans show five indoor spaces for vehicle sales and five indoor spaces for vehicle rentals, a work area and three office spaces. The hours of operation are proposed from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday. The vehicle rentals are for customers of the existing vehicle repair shop business. It is noted sales of vehicles in the IG zoning district shall be limited to used vehicle sales made between licensed dealers with no sales made directly to the general public. Staff recommends approval. This action will be final unless it's appealed. Staff has received zero responses from the public notice. All right. Applicant name and zip code for the record, please. My name is Asri 89012. All right. And have you read through staff's recommendations? Yes. We have a vehicle, an auto-watt shop and repair. Some of the cars sometimes get abandoned by the customer or the insurance because they're not worth it to fix it and they don't want to take them. They owe storage fees and some fees on them. They leave them. So we needed to find a way to sell them. That's why we applied for this permit to sell the cars. Whether in the auction or outside sale. Also, some customers struggle to find a rental car around for their benefit and convenient to have a few cars. Somebody drop his car, we'll get them a rental car. It's limited use. It's going to be few cars for rental or sale. It's not just full auto dealer sales. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. All right, I'll go ahead and open the public hearing. Is there anyone in the audience here to speak on this item? Seeing no one, we'll go ahead and close the public hearing. Commissioners, questions, comments? I have a question. How many cars are we talking about? I mean, one or two a month? Four or five cars. So it's not going to be a used car lot with 100 cars there? No, no. Nothing like that? They're mostly going to be stored inside the building. Okay. We have space inside. It's 7,300 square feet. They won't wander out onto the street and be parked on the street? We have about 20 parking space outside on the lot. We have about 14 spaces to park inside. We have a showroom and a workshop. It's also my understanding, Commissioner, that the application limits them to a total of 10 cars, regardless of the combination, but no more. It's a very busy center, so filling it up more is... an issue, but you've taken care of my answer, so thank you. Okay. All right, Commissioners, any more questions, comments, motions? I'll make a motion to approve CUP-2025-016266 and CUP-2025-016268, subject to findings of facts and conditions. And there's a motion on the floor from Commissioner Beeson. Please vote. And that motion passes. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you for coming. All right, for item number 18, I have a disclosure and then I will need to turn the meeting over to Commissioner Beeson. Commissioner Beeson. Thank you. Could you next item please? Yes. Item 18 is a Request for Conditional Use Permit Amendment to add a second drive-through speaker and a walk-up window speaker to an existing restaurant with drive-through facility located at 730 East Horizon Drive. The existing drive-through was constructed in 2005. The nearest residential dwellings to the south were constructed in 2023. The drive-through has an existing speaker box that was approximately 92 feet from the nearest residential dwelling. The second drive-through speaker and the walk-up speaker are both located further from the existing residential dwelling than the original speaker box. A condition is added for automated volume control on all the speaker boxes. Staff recommends approval, subject to a memorandum. This action would be final unless appealed. Staff has received zero responses from the public notice. All right, before I'll jump in and go ahead and read my disclosure. Pursuant to Nevada Ethics laws, I want to disclose my employer, Lewis Management Corp, built out and leased his space for a Taco Bell by the same group that is the applicant on this item. The lease premises are in North Las Vegas, and I worked on the land planning issues related to that building. In my work on the North Las Vegas side, I did not work with the applicant. but because my employer has financial interest in the success of the applicant's North Las Vegas operation, the independence of judgment of a reasonable person in my situation could be materially affected in considering the matter. Thus, I've been advised by Council to make this disclosure pursuant to Nevada ethics on this item. Thank you. May we hear from the applicant? Please state your name and zip code. Absolutely. Good afternoon. Andrew C. Miller, 8915. We've worked closely with staff to accommodate all requests and appreciate their efforts and look forward to approval on this. Thank you. I'll open it up to the public. Is there anyone here that wants to talk about a speaker at Taco Bell? No? I'll close the public hearing. Commissioners, any questions, comments, recommendations, and or motion? I'll make a motion for approval of CUP-2004-540032-A1, subject to findings of fact and conditions. Mayor Redekopoulos, Commissioner Humes. Mayor Redekopoulos, Commissioner Humes, please vote. And that motion passed. Good luck. Thank you. Thank you. All right, staff, next item, please. Next item is item 19, a two-part request for a vehicle repair facility, including a conditional use permit and design review located at 721 West Lakeview Parkway in the Fiesta Marketplace. The vehicle repair will be located within a 3,764-square-foot, single-story building that will have six bays to conduct the repair services. Although the bay is faced towards Lake Mead Park, the building is located within the interior of the commercial center where existing commercial buildings and perimeter landscaping provides adequate screening from the public right of way. The hours of operation are proposed from 8 AM to 6 PM, seven days a week. Staff recommends approval. This action would be final unless appealed. Staff has received zero responses from the public in support, but we did receive one in opposition. Thank you. Applicant, name and zip code for the record, please. Good afternoon. Luis Flores, A9178. Thank you. Basically, we agree with the staff recommendation and the recommendation and approval. Thank you. Is there anyone in the audience who wishes to address the commission on opening the public hearing? Too many people left. Okay, we'll go ahead and close the public hearing. Commissioners? Yeah, I have a question. Do we have a photograph of the area? Somebody? It's in the backup documents, Becky. If you click on your computer, it's in the backup. Yeah. Go to documents and then go to page 7 out of 16. Mine won't work. You have to use your mouse. It's not touch screen when you go to that part. It's going to be a picture of the plot. You need where it's at. That's what it looks like. It's next to the vacuums. It's the backside behind the coffee shop and stuff. And there are photographs on page 10 if you want to look at those. They're renderings. Is that it? Any more questions? make a motion to approve. CUP 2-0 2-5 0-1 6-4-4-0. All right, there's a motion on the floor from Commissioner Minoskas. Please vote. Oh, that's an applicant. Friendly amendment. Chair, do we need to add the DRA as well? I think there's two of them there. Oh, do we need to add the Can we make a separate motion for the design review? Oh, can you add in the design review application? I think I cut you off too fast. The DRA? Yeah, just read the number for us. Yes, a line. DRA 2019-002880-A7. subject to findings of facts. All right. Thank you. Please vote. And that motion passes. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you. Have a good evening. All right. Question. Do we have an applicant on item 6? sign at Calico Ridge? Come on down. We trailed that item, so staff do you want to reintroduce the item? Chair, just procedurally we still have item number 20. Since we trailed it to the end of the agenda, this probably should wait until after item 20. My excitement of hearing another item, but why don't we go hear item 20 and then we'll come back to you, but we are happy you're here. We need an introduction for item 20. Sorry, my overzealousness. No worries. Item 20 is a request to amend the Henderson Strong Comprehensive Plan to add the Transportation and Mobility Plan as Appendix R. Staff is recommending approval. This item will be heard at the May 6th City Council meeting. We've received zero responses from the public on this item. All right. Applicant name and zip code for the record. Good afternoon, I am Alejandra Fizikas, Principal Planner in Community Development and Services Department, Division of Long Range Planning. With me is also here, Jacob Snow, representing our consultant team at Kin Realis that help in this project. And we're here today to present about the Henderson and Transportation and Mobility Plan. This is a community-wide long-term multimodal plan that aims at identifying Core mobility challenges in our transportation network establish a comprehensive vision for mobility in Henderson and create a holistic set of actions to address the identified challenges and achieve the vision overall. Which is, Henderson's neighborhoods and destinations are seamlessly connected through a safe, accessible, multi-modal transportation network. Mobility options contribute to the quality of life for all people in Henderson through economic opportunity, environmental stewardship, healthy communities, and fiscal responsibility. Through community stakeholder input, these overarching goals for the plan were developed, which are network connectivity, access and equity, safety, built in natural environment, transportation options, fiscal responsibility, and street design. These goals reflect distinct parts of the vision that I read before and are created to guide decision making to ensure incremental actions to contribute at achieving the larger vision of multimodal connectivity citywide. The plan was developed in three planning phases. Each phase involved community outreach, stakeholder engagement, research, and analysis while leveraging other local and regional plans. Phase one, establish the vision, goals, and objectives for the plan, outlining transportation and mobility challenges, as well as the opportunities that we have. Phase two, focus on the prioritization of improvement areas per mode. And phase three, on recommendations for specific infrastructure projects, corridor studies, and policies. As mentioned earlier, the transportation and mobility plan was developed with community and stakeholder input through the planning process. We had three different surveys, went to the top 20 bus stops with higher ridership, went to 15 community events, sent community partnership e-blast, had 10 focus group interviews, and four technical advisory and stakeholder advisory meetings. From these results showed on this graphic, showed that the number one priority among our Henderson residents is safety, leading to zero fatalities and zero serious injuries. followed by the built and natural environment to strategically integrate transportation investments with the built environment and future land use to contribute to vibrant communities, sustainable growth, and resilient environments. And finally, a variety of transportation options. Those were the top three priorities from our residents. We organized the plan, the content of the plan to promote. focusing on walking, biking, taking public transit, and driving. But we also took a look at all modes together, holistically, and this is what we call the multi-model plan. So we started with analyzing, collecting data in terms of existing infrastructure conditions that we have in Henderson, and socio-demographic data that relates to transportation. And I know this is a little bit of a busy graphic to digest and understand, but a few key takeaways from this graphic is basically that we are an auto-centric community where car accessibility is high with only 3.9% of our households without vehicle. We have a high car dependency, and it's also reflected in the bike walk in transit score that we see on this graphic. Meaning that most errands require a car to get to, except for biking, where we are able to access some amenities by bike. So we see our bike score is considerably higher than our the walking and transit score. And that can be attributed to the robust trail and bicycle lane network that we have city-wide. Also, 78% of our residents drive along. And just under 1% of our residents take public transit. In addition to collecting the data, we also took a closer look to our existing transportation network that we have overall. And the map on the slide shows all the existing trails, roads with bike lanes, and our local road networks. And those are highlighted in different colors, the color code. We also took a look at the commuting travel mode here. And we compare just to analyze how we are as a city, comparing to the county, and comparing to the state and the country overall. So as you can see on the graphic on the right, almost 78% of our residents drive alone, as mentioned before, which is slightly higher compared to the county, the state, and the country. On the other hand, we have a little bit higher percentage compared to the others that We also analyzed the origin destination trips citywide and projections overall to 2050. And we analyzed into three different groups at the traffic analysis zone level, the TAZ zones, which are In this case, I call it within the different subdivisions that we have citywide. Anthem is projected to have the highest with 14%. We analyze also trips within the census tracts, which in this case corresponded to our larger neighborhoods, bigger than the internal subdivision trips. It is projected that West Henderson, Southeast Henderson, and North Central Henderson are projected to have the highest trips. And then within the city, when it comes to larger trips, it is projected that Green Valley Ranch will have the highest. And this analysis was performed using the RTC travel demand model, using population forecast, as well as future land use plans. Because safety was the number one priority amongst our residents based on our community outreach results, we focus a lot of our analysis on the crash data. And we collected NDOT crash data from March 2018 to December 2022. So as you can see on this slide, there was a total of almost 13,000 crashes in Henderson alone. About 10,000 are on the local roadway network. And within that time frame, there's been 32 fatalities and 237 serious injuries. So the graphic on the right, it's an FHWA graphic, and it's about the safe system approach. And I included that here because obviously safety is very important to us. And just a reminder for us as city staff to continue developing our communities and building our new roads with the safe system. system approach in mind, which aims at reducing fatalities and serious injuries. Next, we'll focus on every, on each mode of transportation. So we started with pedestrians. When it comes to pedestrian infrastructure, we analyze the existing sidewalk infrastructure that we have citywide. And as you can see on the graphic, Majority of our sidewalks are five feet wide, which meet the ADA accessibility standards. We almost have 700 miles of sidewalks that meet the standard, which is great. But you also see in the graphic that there is room for improvement. There are areas in Henderson that do not meet this standard, and that can be attributed to our older neighborhoods. So we need to take a look at our older neighborhoods and upgrade the infrastructure. Also, when it comes to community outreach, what we hear from our residents is that sidewalks are too small, streets are too wide, and we like to see improvements to add more room for pedestrians. Now, when it comes to safety, The slide here shows the pedestrian-related crashes citywide. And you can see the hotspots of the density of the locations where these crashes occur the most. And the highest intersections are Boulder Highway and Lake Mead Parkway, Sunset Road and Stephanie Street, and 215 and Green Valley Parkway. After analyzing the existing infrastructure and the crash data, we propose to focus around the schools. We consider our schools key destinations in our community with high walkability potential. So the map on the slide shows the location of our schools citywide. The bubbles that you see, those represent the walkability distance from each of the schools. And the dark pink color, it's a little bit hard to distinguish, but those are the sidewalks that are substandard when it comes to ADA accessibility. And we're proposing to focus on those specific areas for improvements. And then when it comes to policy actions, again, we'd like to propose to build our new roads with the safe system approach in mind. perform walk audits around the schools, which we have already started. We did one at Basic High School in December. We're planning to do one at David Cox Elementary School at the end of this month. And our hope is to do more of this. We are also proposing on the plan to enhance crosswalks, specifically on roadways that intersects trails, sure use paths. And we have wider and enhanced sidewalks at key locations such as our schools. Next we have the bicycle mode. We also analyze the existing infrastructure. We have 150 miles of sure use path, 135 miles of straight bicycle lane. Again, we have a pretty robust bicycle infrastructure, but there's always room to make more improvements, and the improvements are related to have protections. to increase safety for cyclists and users. The images on the slide show examples of that bicycle infrastructure. One of the comments that we received from the community outreach results is bikes have to share lanes with cars going past the speed limit. This slide shows the crashes that relate to bicycles and the concentrations of them. The highest intersections where we saw more crashes are Sunset Road and Stephanie, 215 and Stephanie Street, Eastern Avenue, and San Rose Parkway. When it comes to bicycle improvements, after analyzing both existing infrastructure and crash data, these are some of the proposed improvements when it comes to new trails, new bike lanes, And when it comes to policy and action recommendations, the plan identifies some key corridors feasible for protected bicycle infrastructure. We understand, we know we, even though we like to propose protected bicycle lanes everywhere, we know it's not feasible. So we identify some of those key corridors. We want to expand also the, proposing to expand the connectivity from new developments to the existing infrastructure infrastructure. related to bicycle, such as trails, sure use paths. So we want to make sure that staff keeps an eye on those connections. We want to also propose developing standards for secure and shelter bicycle parking. Our current development code allows short-term and long-term bicycle parking, but we don't have secure and shelter and something to consider for our climate and safety as well. And keep updating our master transportation plan. We already do this on a regular basis, but to push more for that protected bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure. Now, when it comes to transit, this is under the RTC purview, but we still went ahead and included in our plan because we have bus routes in our city. We have bus stops. next to our developments and within our right of way. So again, in terms of existing services, these maps show the existing bus routes that we have citywide. We have nine total. And we also show on the map on the right, the areas of coverage when it comes to paratransit and non-flexible demand routes, meaning like paratransit services, which are specialized services for seniors or people with disability. But as you can see in both maps, there are some gaps when it comes to bus routes, when it comes to those specialized services that we don't have. Now, as I mentioned before, when it comes to commuting trips taken on transit, Henderson is just under 1%. Compared to the county overall, it's a little bit higher at 3%. The map on the right shows the location of the bus stops that we have. And this one specifically shows the boardings on a weekday. So the larger the bubble that you see is the highest ridership on that specific bus stop. So it is important to note here that some of this align with our main transportation corridors, such as Boulder Highway. Stephanie Street and Eastern Avenue. When it comes to transit improvements, we want to continue our coordination and collaboration with our partner RTC to propose improved bus stops. We realize that we have several bus stops that do not provide shelter or the needed amenities for our users. We would like to propose enhanced transit corridors just like we're doing on Boulder Highway. Perhaps the next one could be Eastern Avenue. And more importantly to focus on the first and last mile connections which means that first mile that you travel from your home to get to a bus stop and to get to work. Now when it comes to policies we like to Find ways to coordinate with the development community and the RTC to explore funding to help finance these transit amenities. Also explore future transit lines and expand those specialized transportation services in the areas where we do not have coverage. And updating the RTC bus stop guidelines, which have not been updated in a while. Now, lastly, when it comes to vehicle mode, we have, as an auto-centric community, we have over 1,300 miles of roads, and most of them are major collectors followed by minor arterials. This slide shows the different types of roadway facilities that we have, and the main concerns that we heard from our residents were related to reckless driving, and traffic congestion. When it comes to crashes, again, this map shows the locations of the concentrations of vehicle-related crashes and the highest intersections were located on Sunset Road and Stephanie, especially the types of crashes that are head-on and angle-related. And Eastern Avenue and St. Rose. When it comes to improvements, the map on the slide shows the corridors that we identified based on the crash data, where we are recommending to do further corridor studies. One of them that I wanna highlight here is Lake Mead Parkway. And the good news is that it's already on the way. We have an RFP processing with RTC. to do this corridor study. And then the map also shows those key intersections with higher crash data. So the map shows the blue squares for those key intersections where the plan recommends to do further studies. And additionally, we want to make sure that we continue assessing the street network connectivity. coordinating with the RTC for signal synchronization of major roads, which we thought would be very important when it comes to addressing variation of traffic flows and congestion that we are experiencing more and more. And that concludes my presentation. Thank you, and I'm happy to answer any questions that you may have. I have put the contact information here on the slide. Jamie Archibald, she was our PM from Atkins on this project. She wasn't able to attend the meeting today, but we have Jacob Snow with us here today. We're happy to answer any questions. All right. Thank you very much for your presentation. That was really interesting. Is there anyone in the audience who'd like to comment? I'll go ahead and open the public hearing. Most of the people in the audience seem to be staff, so you might already know them. So we'll go ahead and close the public hearing. I don't know that we need to do a motion on this, or do we? Oh, we do, we're acting, okay. I'd like to also thank everything that you've done with your committee. This is amazing, the work that you've gone through, the statistics, and making sure it was going to be safe for everybody. I just want to thank you and your group for everything that you did to add the transportation and mobility plan. It's amazing. If nobody's got any more comments, I'll make a motion. Okay, I'd like to make a motion to approve Henderson's strong comprehensive plan to add the transportation and mobility plan as appendix R. CPA. 025-016566. All right. There's a motion on the floor from Commissioner Grumman-Minascus. Please vote. Thank you. And the motion passes. Thank you so much for coming to see us. Thank you. Thank you. All right. That brings us back to item six. Staff members. Bring it on. All right. Item six is a master sign plan amendment request for modification from the development code to increase the maximum height of a freestanding sign to 40 feet located at 1469 East Lake Mead Parkway. The Title 19 standard for freestanding signs in the CT zoning district limits the height to 30 feet. However, the proposed sign was previously approved at a height of 34 feet, eight inches. At the February 13th planning commission meeting, the item was continued 60 days to give the applicant time to work with staff on a resolution. The applicant revised the sign design by adding a cupola, which is similar to the existing sign, but did not lower the height as recommended. Staff recommends denial as the proposed height increases for the freestanding sign lacks justification for exceeding the master sign plan's existing maximum height limit for freestanding signs. This action would be final unless appealed. All right, applicant name and zip code for the record, please. Taylor Lamb, 89118. And thank you for pushing this back. I apologize for being late at the wrong time. Oh, for sure. Go for it. So, first, that's the wrong drawing. Since this drawing wasn't as supported, this wasn't supposed to be in there. It was supposed to be the original without the cupola on top. I don't know if that affects... Stuff. Stuff. What else about the exhibits? Don't believe this is the exhibit that's in the backup. This is probably one that we just put up on display because this was your previous, right? If you have an example of it, you could put it on. No, I brought this one as well. So per Commission's suggestions, we went back, met with staff, came up with a few, I think we had eight different options. We had two that briefly had staff support and two that had ownership support, but that fell apart. So now we're back to where we were at the original one. Go ahead. Anything else? I don't have anything to add unless there's questions I can answer. Why don't I go ahead and open the public hearing. Is there anyone in the audience who'd like to talk on this item? Again, not too many people in the audience. All right. We'll go ahead and close the public hearing and open for questions. I want to make sure I understand. So the photograph we're looking at is not the sign that we're voting on tonight? This was the redesigned version that's in the packet. Oh, sorry. What's the height of the original? They're both 40. The only change in the redesign was the cupola was added back in and Calico Ridge was added back in. And that will or will not be on the sign we're asked to. I'm sorry, I can't hear you. That will or will not be on the sign that we're asked to vote on tonight. It will not. They still need the waiver for the 5.5 foot 4 inch increase. Is this the city's okay with this, Andy? Our recommendation is still for denial. The height is still the same. Is this the proper exhibit now that we see up there? This is still not? No. Is it option 3H? Yeah. Oh, nope. It's this version right here. Is that on the... That was what proposed at the last Planning Commission meeting? This is what was proposed at the last Planning Commission, yes. And that's what you're proposing now? Yes. So no Coppola at the top is what you're proposing? So we had this discussion the last time it was brought to us. Are you building a whole new sign on this? Are you using the post and adding to it? Or what are you doing to the existing sign to make it foot taller. Are you building a whole new sign in the same place? Everything that is below the LED is existing. We're just moving it up higher on the pipe. The calico ridge cabinet's new as well. So we're taking the arch calico down, moving the tenant panels up into that area and putting the LED at the top. And then the increase goes up from 34 foot 8 to 40 feet. And as we discussed before, the five feet's not going to get you above the trees that grow another five feet in a year. I mean, we're putting this sign, we just keep raising it up. This is the second time. Now this will be the third. This is the original sign height. It's never been raised before. It had a variance, the original sign, to add some height to it, correct? Correct. So it's been added once. Now they want to add it again. And the trees are going to grow again. So the four foot's not going to get you nothing but a couple years. Okay. As ownership disagrees, they're trying to get this place full of tenants right now. Once the tenants are established and they're in there, the sign becomes less important. But until they establish their businesses, they need all the help they can get. The five foot is important to us because it's part of code. So to fill up a thing, are you going to take it down after it's full? Are you going to take the five foot off? What after all the plaza is full you can take the five foot back off. No, they're not gonna do that. See so it's gonna stay there Yeah, and it's gonna set a precedence for everything that comes up and down like me So it was put in the wrong place to begin with it was put in a ditch in a hole If it was put up on the next to the road You'd have no problem with all the landscaping that's covering it now Everything next to the road is city of Henderson property. It can be a higher out of that ditch that it's in and So relocated, the last person that was here said it was too expensive to do that. So adding five foot to this, it's just going to be a temporary fix, and it just doesn't meet what staff wants to see. So any other questions? No, I think that was well said. I'll move for denial on MSP2007. All right, there's a motion for denial on this side. Right, you're approving the denial. Approval of the denial. We're voting yes to approve the denial, correct? A vote for yes would be a vote for denial because that's the motion on the floor. And that motion passes, so this item was denied. I guess that's our final item. Thank you for your time. Thank you. Don't forget your book, sir. Oh, yeah, you don't. Oh, our book. All right, that moves us on to public comment. That moves us on to public comment. Is there anyone in the audience who wishes to make a public comment? I'm sure you're the public. We've already seen you a lot. Thank you, Madam Chair. Commissioner Tom Amick, 1980 Festival Plaza. Michael and I are up here. We just want to acknowledge Laura. This is her last meeting and I just wanted to say congratulations and thank her so much for all of her service. I've known her for a very long time. We kind of started around the same time when she was at the city of Las Vegas and I was kind of doing stuff over there at the same time. We've been colleagues and friends for a long time. City's really gonna miss her. She's done a fantastic job for this department, and I just wanted to stick around and make sure she knew how much we love her and appreciate everything that she did. So thank you. Thank you, Tom. Thank you. For the record, Michael Tessig, 218 Lead Street. I mean, actually, I've known Laura for a long, long time, and I've had the opportunity to experience her work and her work ethic on both sides of the fence, especially lately. She has been SHE'S REALLY DONE A LOT FOR US AND FOR OUR OFFICES, GETTING CALLS AND EMAILS ON SATURDAYS. THAT'S REALLY ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT IS REQUIRED OR EVEN ASKED FOR FOR ANY PUBLIC EMPLOYEE. BEYOND THAT, SHE'S JUST A GREAT PERSON. SHE'S BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG, LONG TIME IN THIS DEPARTMENT AND I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ONE OF HER LEADERS. She was always very detail-oriented, and she was the one you'd look for. If you ever needed to know what happened with a project seven years ago, you go talk to Laura, because she just knew. So love you, Laura. We're going to miss you. Thank you, Michael. You both have just been great to work with. I've learned a lot from both of you, both sides of the fence, and truly appreciate your comments and your words. They mean a lot. You're welcome. Very well deserved. Thank you. Is there anyone else in the audience who wishes to speak in public comment? All right, we'll go ahead and close the public comment and then we'll roll into, I'm going to roll into staff comment first and then we'll roll into council commission. Sure, chairman. I appreciate the opportunity and I just want to continue reiterating what our two compatriots out there in the crowd said. Laura, it's, um, you've been here quite some time and we, we, The team put together a little proclamation. Jared has it in his hands there, but I'm going to read off of it. So. Read it for you. Turn it on and off. There we go. So whereas Laura joined the City of Henderson in 2005 as a planner too in community development and whereas she received her American Institute of Certified Planners designation in 2006 showing that she has the academic qualifications, relevant work experience, and mastery of essential skills required to serve her community effectively and whereas she was promoted to senior planner in 2019 and took on the role of front counter supervisor from 2022 until just recently and whereas she has been a mentor to dozens if not more of new staff members, and whereas she has managed, coordinated, and prepared for approval over 1,700 unique projects, leaving a notable impact on the city's footprint, and whereas she has successfully introduced and read projects into the record at countless Planning Commission meetings such as today, with her final meeting being today, April 10, 2025, and whereas she has been the department liaison and subject matter expert for conversions from the Kiva to Energov softwares, by attending meetings, building workflows, and training community development and services staff. And whereas she has been the resident elf leading our department's annual holiday white elephant party for over a decade, and we will definitely miss you for that. And whereas she has prepared a series of succession planning trainings to pass along her vast experience and insight to staff, and whereas she has worked Notable city projects including the site of the ER at Boulder's Edge, a project 10 years in the making requiring a balance of planning, development, and residential needs, and most recently the Inspirata Station Casino and the Mosaic Master Plan, and whereas she has encapsulated the spirit and culture of the city of Henderson by fostering collaboration among internal and external department staff, and whereas she has been an example of resiliency when life gets difficult. And so, Laura, we just appreciate everything you do. I know still have you for a few more months, so I'm sure we'll be doing this again, but thank you for everything. Thank you, Andy. It's, you know, the years have gone by fast. It's been 20 years, and really when you're having fun, it doesn't feel like a day of work. I've just so appreciated everyone. I see my fellow co-workers out there in the audience, you know, for being by me through good times and bad times, and you all know what that means. But this has just been such an amazing place to work. I just love how collaborative we are, how much fun we have. And yes, I love being the ELF and my ELF duties will be turned over. And I do expect an invite back to the ELF event. But truly, it's just been like one of the greatest things I've done in my life is working for the city of Henderson. My parents I thought I was nuts that when I became a geography major in college, they're like, what are you going to do with your life? So I have to thank them for supporting me through it. And also my husband supporting me through all this. We met at the city of Las Vegas, I like to say May 1st, 2009, 15 a.m., because that was my interview time back then. And it's just been a great career, both at the city of Las Vegas and the city of Henderson. And yes, I do have a few more months left. And I plan to try to take what's in here and pass it along to everyone else. But I just really want to thank everyone, commissioners, Andy, Eddie, Brian, Jared, and my fellow co-workers in the back. I see you all sitting there. It really just means a lot. I'm going to miss you guys. But like I said, I'll be here for a few more months. But thank you again. I wasn't planning to even talk this long. But I've done it without tears. So thank you all. Thank you. This is from our end. We want to thank you. We've known each other now a long time also. We're grateful of your support and your amazing knowledge and sharing that with us every month. And obviously, you're welcome to come back. There's a lot of seats here once a month, Thursday, 4 o'clock. You're welcome to come back or watch us on TV. But we've really appreciated working with you. Thank you. Thank you, Commissioner Lewis. Do you all have any comments? I'll just second Commissioner Lewis's comments, Laura. I think we all take for granted probably things that you do. And I'd just like to vocalize things that you have set apart. I think Andy was very light on the accomplishments that you've done being here since 2005. I apologize, I'm a crier, Laura. Commissioner Hams, I am too. And I have no Kleenex up here. Thanks. Being here since 2005, the city has grown exponentially since 2005. So it's not just a footprint. It's more kind of like a snowman is what you made as a snowman, as a snow angel, I think is what they call it. So I would think of more of a snow angel than just a little footprint. Thank you, Commissioner. Laura, I know I've made the comment before on what the city of Henderson planning does. It's really amazing what you guys do and what you've done and done it right for what's good for the city and the residents of the city and businesses of the city. My family moved here in 1949, and they would just go, wow. Yeah, but thank you for everything. Thank you, Commissioner. I'll just say one last thing, Laura. I'm just, I don't think I really got to know you very well, and I feel cheated, so I'd like to make a motion that we just keep her. If we can do that, or do I, is that outside of our authority? All opposed? All right, motion carries. Anyway, enjoy the rest of your time with your friends and family. Thank you. If no one else has any comments, we'll go ahead and adjourn the meeting. Thank you guys. We'll see you in about a month. Laura, you get the month off. A couple more meetings left, yes.
