Sometimes it's kind of sensitive. Just give it a push. Just give it a good push to turn it green. And then, yeah, I leave mine on. I was just going by this. Testing, testing. Testing testing. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I'd like to now call this evening's meetings of the Planning Commission to order. Before we begin, please note that this meeting is being video recorded and streamed live to the Internet. I'd also like to welcome our new Planning Commissioner, Shondell Newsome. He was appointed at the November 4th City Council meeting by Councilwoman Monica Larson. So welcome, Commissioner. We're happy to have you up here. Staff, may I have a confirmation of posting and roll call? Ms. Chair Boekelman, the agenda has been posted according to the Nevada Open Meeting Law. All commissioners are present, and you have a quorum. Thank you. Will everyone please rise and join me in the Pledge of Allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, liberty and justice for all. Okay. Staff, are there any changes to the agenda? Yes, the following memorandums have been included in the backup documentation. For item number eight, Mayfield 32, there's a memo to remove utility services condition number 17 on the tenanted map. For item number nine, Serene Manhattan, there's a memo to remove utility services condition number 18 on the tenanted map. For item number 13, Henderson Gun Club data center, There's a memo to add Public Works and Community Development Services conditions of approval to the designer view and to add the ownership disclosure form to the backup. And then the following corrections have been noted for item number five for Inspirata Parcel 28. There's a correction to the designer view waiver B listed on page four of the staff report should read to decrease the required open space to 99,666 square feet which matches the agenda description and public hearing notices. For item number 17, for Valencia Heights, changes to the tenant map description as there are no common lots and this has been noted in the staff report description in the backup. The following items, some of which are public hearings, are being requested for continuance. Staff recommends continuance on all items except as noted. For item number 10, the Roundabout Center, it's continued to the December 11th, 2025 Planning Commission meeting as stated on the agenda and staff report. And for item number 14 for Boulder and Magic, Building C, it's been continued to the January 15, 2026 Planning Commission meeting at the request of the applicant. Thank you. Based on the recommendation of staff and in accordance with Planning Commission policy, it is the intention of the Planning Commission to make a motion to continue items as noted. For those of you who are unable to attend the meeting for which the item has been continued, please submit your written comments to Community Development and Services. Is there a motion to accept the agenda? Mr. Chairman, it's Shondell Newsom for the record. I move to approve the agenda. Thank you. So Commissioner Newsom made the motion. Please vote. This brings us to the consent agenda consisting of items one through seven. Items eight and nine are being pulled for the commissioner disclosure. Is there anyone here who wishes to have an item pulled from consent for discussion or public comment? Seeing no one, may we have a motion on, oh I'm sorry. No, yours is after we make the motion. So is there a motion on consent agenda items one through seven? I make a motion to approve. The motions one through seven of the consent agenda. Commissioner Humes made the motion. Please vote. That item passes. This now brings us to items eight and nine that were pulled from consent. Commissioner Lewis, please read your disclosure statement for items eight. It items eight and nine for the record and then staff will introduce each item which we will discuss and vote on individually. Thank you. Sure, my disclosure covers both items, item eight, TMA 2025017659 and DRA 2025017659. 17660, Mayfield 32, and item 9, TMA 2025017662 and DRA 2025017665. As part of my employment with Lewis Management Corp., I'm a member of the Nevada Multifamily Alliance, LLC, a consortium of six housing developers who build, manage, and own apartments in Nevada. One of the executives of Signature Management is also a member of the Nevada Multifamily Alliance, and their affiliate, Stone Land Holdings, is the applicant on the item. The Alliance is purely an advocacy group for multifamily housing. The project this application includes does not involve multifamily housing, and neither I nor the Alliance have any involvement in the project. I don't believe my membership in the Nevada Multifamily Alliance would affect my judgment in considering this 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 pursuant to Nevada Ethics laws, but I do not need to abstain from voting on this matter. Thank you. Staff, will you please read item eight? Good afternoon, Chair Boekelman and Commissioners. Item eight is the tentative map for a new 32-lot single-family residential subdivision with review of architecture and site design for the single-family residential products on 16 acres generally located at the southwest corner of the intersection of Serene Avenue and Gold Hill Road. The applicant is proposing single-story units that comply with all standards within the Serene Country Estates Neighborhood Plan. As these were originally government created five acre parcels, each lot size is considered to contain 20,000 square feet, therefore no waivers necessary for the proposed lot sizes. Staff recommends approval and notes that a memorandum accompanies this item. This item will be final action unless appealed. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Chair, Commissioner. Tom Amick, 1980 Festival Plaza. Also with me on this application, John Marchionna, Michael Tassi, 218 Lead Street. We're here on behalf of the applicant's signature. We appreciate the staff recommendation for approval and the disclosure. We don't have anything to add unless you have questions for us. Thank you. At this time I will open for public comment. Is there anyone present wishing to speak on this item? Seeing no one, I'll close the public comment. May we please have a motion. I'll make a motion to approve TMA-2025-017659. and DRA 2025017660, subject to conditions. Commissioner Humes made the motion, please vote. That item passes. Thank you very much. Staff, will you introduce item number nine? Item number nine is a tentative map for a new 10 lot single family residential subdivision with review of architecture and site design for the single family residential products on five acres generally located at the southwest corner of the intersection of Serene Avenue and Manhattan Road. The applicant is proposing single story units that comply with all standards within the Serene Country Estates neighborhood plan. As these were originally government created five acre parcels Each lot size is considered to contain 20,000 square feet, therefore no waivers necessary for the proposed lot sizes. Staff recommends approval and notes that a memorandum accompanies this item. This item will be final action unless appealed. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Tom Amick, 1980 Festival Plaza. Again, here on behalf of the applicant's signature homes with me, Michael Tassie, John Marciano, 218 Lead Street. Don't have anything else to add unless you have questions. Thank you. At this time I will open for public comment. Is there anyone present wishing to speak on this item? Seeing no one, I'll close the public comment. May we please have a motion? Commissioner Beeson, would you like to make a motion? Yeah, I'll make a motion to approve TMA 202-501-7662 and DRA 202-501-7665, subject to conditions. Commissioner Beeson made the motion, please vote. Thank you very much. Staff, may we hear the first item? Item number 10 has been continued to the December 11th meeting. Item 11 is a request to vacate portions of an existing public road trail utility and public drainage easement, generally located east of Racetrack Road and north of Burkholder Boulevard. This request will facilitate future development of the site. Staff recommends approval of this request. This item will be heard at the December 2nd City Council meeting. Mayor Redekop. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Commissioner Tom Amick, 1985 Festival Plaza, 89135. On behalf of Horton, for this vacation, we don't have anything further unless you have any questions for us. Thank you. At this time, I will 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. Maybe. To approve VA-2025-01-7603 Vacation. Subject to findings of facts and conditions. Oh, I can't see it. Yeah, okay. and a commended approval of VAC 2025017603, subject to a finding of fact and conditions. Thank you. Commissioner Grzmanowskis made the motion. Please vote. That item passes. Thank you. Item number 12 is a request to vacate portions of a public road and public utility easement and portions of a public right-of-way generally located at the northwest corner of Bermuda Road and Weltman Way. Staff finds the request will facilitate future development of an affordable housing project on the site. Staff recommends approval of this request. This item will be heard at the December 2nd City Council meeting. Thank you Mr. Chair, Commissioners, Tom Amick, 1980 Festival Plaza. I'm here on behalf of the applicant for this matter. This is in conjunction with the item later on in the agenda for the volunteer Bermuda project so we can answer any questions if you have them on this. But I don't think there's any issues with this one. Thank you. At this time I will 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? Commissioner Lewis, would you like to make a motion? Yeah, if there's no comments, I'll go ahead and make a motion for approval of VAC 2025-017661, subject to finding a fact and conditions. Commissioner Lewis, may the motion please vote. That item passes. Thank you. Item 13 is a two-part request for a new data center on 157.3 acres located in the El Dorado Valley Master Plan at the northeast corner of Bentonite Avenue and Whidbey Road. Request A is for a new data center use and request B is for review of architecture and site design for a new data center development consisting of five new buildings, a substation, and site improvements. The applicant is also requesting a six year approval timeline for this application as the anticipated timeframe required for utility infrastructure construction and power delivery to the site is scheduled for 2030. As this is currently proposed as speculative development, staff has added conditions requiring the applicant to provide additional operational information about the facility once an end user is determined and prior to submitting for building permits. Staff has also included a condition that the facility shall be air-cooled and the proposed consumptive water use must be less than 10 million gallons of water per year. Staff recommends approval and notes that a memorandum accompanies this item. This item is final action unless appealed. Staff has received one response in opposition to this item. Thank you. Name and zip code for the record. John Carter. 92612. Thank you. And you agree with staff's recommendation? Yes, we do. And do you have anything, it looks like you've got something you wanted to talk about a little bit? Yeah, sure, I can go ahead. So good evening, Chair, Commissioners, and staff. My name is John Carter with Trammell Crow Company. Thank you for the opportunity to present our proposal for our next generation data center campus at El Dorado Valley Gun Club. Trammell Crow Company, TCC, provides a full range of development investment services to commercial real estate occupiers and investors. Since we were founded in 1948, the firm has developed a required nearly 2,900 buildings totaling over 655 million square feet in the U.S., So today we're asking for conditional use permit of the 157 acres for the data center in El Dorado Valley. Each data center is approximately 252,000 square feet totaling 1.2 million square feet and the site also contains an on-site substation service for data center. There are significant off-site and power infrastructure work that needs to be done by TCC, NV Energy and the consortium of owners in the area. Off-site work includes water lines, sewer, Whittaby Road to be delivered by the end of 2027. NV Energy will be building a new substation and extending two new 230 kVA lines to be delivered in 2028. NV Energy will provide TCC the total load requested in the power application for the five data centers. but the site will not be available until the end of 2030 or 2031, which is why TCC is requesting an additional four-year extension of the CUP. Another topic we wanted to discuss was the water consumption. TCC is planning to use an air-coal facility, which is comparable to that of a no-stril use for water consumption. This is domestic in nature for restrooms, janitorial needs, and landscaping. The air-coal facility includes a closed-loop liquid cooling system, and an air force system with these exchangers. And both options have been calculated in the table that's been provided in the justification letter. Which approximately takes about one million gallons of water per year per building. And compared that to a typical data center use for water cool systems, about 500 million gallons of water per year. So there is a significant reduction in water use for the air-cold technology. Summary, this campus is thoughtfully designed for the site, infrastructure coordination, conserves water through air-cold technology, delivers local jobs, and strengthens the tax base, ensuring it becomes a long-term asset in the community and to the City of Henderson. We ask for your support for this project and thank you. Thank you. At this time, I'll open a public hearing. Is there anyone here wishing to speak on this item? Seeing no one, I'll close the public hearing. Commissioners, questions? I have a few. Could you explain the closed loop system to me? You say a million gallons of water. I understand that, which you know we're kind of looking for water everywhere. Not to just sort away. Could you explain the cooling system? So it brings in water into the cooling pipes. The pipes do not vacate into the sewer system. It's recycled water throughout the closed loop pipeline and a circular motion throughout the building. Once it enters into the cooling halls, it then proceeds up into, if it's a liquid cooled chip system, it will just recycle back into the entire loop without ever exhausting out into the sewer. So data centers create a lot of heat trying to cool it off. So literally the cooling system will go through the chip system, the computers, and cool them off? So it functions very similar. I have your name and zip code for the record, please. Sure. Jared Reimer, 92677. Thank you. It functions very similar to an air conditioning system in your house where there's a closed loop cooling system that goes to an outdoor condensing system that cools the liquid, brings it inside to a forest air unit that pushes cold air through the room. And so the direct-to-chip cooling can actually recycle that cold water just across the chip or some type of coolant fluid. Or you can just cool a whole room with the air conditioning, and so that's air-cooled. Those are both air-cooled technologies or closed-loop cooling technologies, but neither of which are actually connected to the public water system or drained to the public water system. you just fill them up once for the first time you use them and that's it. The million gallons or so, whatever. The million gallons is actually on an annual basis, but that's the same thing the normal warehouse building would use to flush toilets, run the sink, and water length landscaping. And you've got to keep this cold, right? Data centers are 40, 50 degrees, give or take a few. It depends on the chips that are used in them, but yeah, some of them run very cold for the more high... output AI chips and some are you know like a computer system in your house where they're a typical CPU system and they don't need to be run nearly as cool. They'll be 65 to 75 degrees. I just wanted to learn something new and I appreciate that. Employees wise, when it's all said and done and you got four centers, five centers, 250,000, how many employees are total in those buildings? I don't know an answer for you because it's going to depend on the ultimate user. But I think some users tend to staff more people in-house, and they will have bigger office spaces there, and they will maintain the equipment themselves. Others will have outsourced maintenance, and so you'll have a lot of people coming from off-site to come onto the property to maintain the systems. So the on-site job creation can vary quite a bit, but as far as its local community impact and job creation, it can be quite substantial, but I don't know the numbers. Okay. Utilities five years out give or take a few on the on the power itself If are you going forward building the buildings prior to that? Are you waiting for the power to get on site and then build the buildings or? We usually start construction about two years before the power is actually delivered It's about this time it takes to build the buildings and get them ready to energize and then the power systems will come concurrently But it's you know between now and then there's a lot of getting the off sites ready and making sure all the easements are in place, building the off-site infrastructure that's, you know, roads, sewer, water, storm drain systems that are typical of any project. On this instance, Southern California Edison, or I'm sorry, Nevada Energy is building a public substation across the street from us. And so they're going to bring most of the infrastructure right across the street from the property, and we'll just extend two 30 KB lines across the street to the property. And my last question, as this moves forward, if it moves forward, and four or five years from now, you don't have an end user of a data center, is it capable of using it for warehouse, something else? Oh, of course. Yeah. So the substation's going to bring, at a minimum, 8.8 megawatts of power, which is what a normal industrial use would be on this property. the manufacturing use might use a little bit more of that, but there's plenty, Nevada Energy's told us there's plenty in reserve. So this is just bringing excess power, but that power actually won't be extended unless an end user comes in and signs the agreement with Nevada Energy to purchase that power. Because it's a pretty big investment by the public agency, obviously. So they're not gonna actually, we need to have a user come in and sign up a power purchase agreement for the property. Okay, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. So along with my colleague, there's a different question that I want to ask. What type of jobs would that you've seen typically come out of these? And are they well-paying jobs for our Henderson residents? Yes, they're very well-paying jobs. I mean, these are a lot of, you know, call it top tech companies that are hiring. And so There are some that are actually their corporate offices are locally, so they will be hiring at the corporate level offsite at an office space. But at a minimum on site, there's going to be very high paid engineers that are going to be operating and maintaining the data centers. Plus the vendors that need to come, very specialized technicians that need to come service the you know, frankly billions of dollars of equipment that go into these buildings in terms of electrical components and cooling components into the buildings. And the servers themselves with all the CPUs or GPs that go into them. Could you walk us through, it sounds like you've got your building a substation and Envy Energy's building a substation, do I understand? Correct, that's right. Okay. NV Energy will build a substation that takes power from the transmission level at 230 kilovolts to the public substation that sits across the property. We will then take 230 kV lines to our private substation on the property. We will use our private substation, we'll then transform that down to a much lower voltage that will go into the building. When I say low voltage, it's gonna be high voltage by anyone else's standard, but to data center use, we're talking 12 kV to 33 kV circuits, which are the normal distribution lines that run throughout the city. I was going to ask, too, because we never see stuff that asks for six years. Why is it taking NV Energy five, six years to build it? Do we know that? Yes, I do. There's several system upgrades that need to be completed. They're actually part of their planned public improvement process already. There's in particular some components, transformers that need to get ordered that have a four-year lead time right now. That's a long lead time. All right, thank you. I'm trying to understand the closed-loop water system again. Sure. So if you're needing a million gallons of water per building, if it's a closed-loop system, what's happening to that million gallons of water? So the million gallons is the same use that... any industrial use would use in the property, and that actually has, the million gallons doesn't even factor into the air-cooled system, because the air-cooled system uses nothing. So the air-cooled system gets filled one time. On an ongoing basis, it doesn't use any water. It's just like the same coolant technology that's in an air conditioner in your house, where you have condenser lines that carry hot air from inside your house, take it outside, cool it, recycle it back in when it's cold. It's doing the same thing. So it's just circulating from indoors to outdoors. And outdoors it gets cooled in a condenser unit. So where's that million gallons going exactly? Flushing toilets, washing your hands. It adds up over the course of a year, but a normal industrial building, which is a low water use, uses a million gallons over the course of a year. So in watering, landscaping, things like that. Staff, is that an accurate? accurate information that an industrial building would use a million gallons of water? That's a little bit out of our purview in planning. We have someone from utilities here that might be able to address that up, if you'd like just to bring someone from utilities down. We have somebody from utilities that can come on down and address my question. I appreciate it. Of course. While they're coming down, Commissioner Lewis, just to on to the response about NV Energy, the city's been working with the master developer for El Dorado Valley for a few years and that is the same time frame that we've been operating under with the master developer as far as bringing power to the site. So it's consistent with everything the city's been involved in as well. That sounds like an NV Energy problem then. Thank you. Hi. Name and zip code for the record. Sharla Bustani 89074. Did you hear my question about is it typical for an industrial site of this size, these individual units, to use a million gallons of water a year? I think those are in keeping with what we know about industrial and commercial usage of that size. Okay, so it's pretty standard. Obviously, we live in the desert, so I'm a little concerned about water consumption and where that water is coming from, and if we're adding, I think as I saw, a bottled watering facility would, on average, uses 15 million gallons a year, and that's actually producing water that's consumable. So it surprises me that a million gallons a year for a data center when it's being used for cleaning or toilets, but that's normal. I'm not talking about evaporative cooling now. We're not talking about that, right? No, we're not talking about evaporative cooling. So I think a million gallons and 365 days in a year is something on the order of 2,500 gallons a day, 2,800, something like that. A typical house is 250 gallons per day of... wastewater, which is the kind of thing that would be very similar. He's not talking about grass. He's talking about indoor uses for custodial and domestic usage inside. So that million gallons will be recycled back into the system? Yes. Yes, El Dorado Valley has a master plan for wastewater collection, a series of lift stations that will take the water and the wastewater over the hill and back into our valley and into our WRF, our water reclamation facility. Okay, well I still got you up here. Could you show us the graph that you had for the water consumption? it down a little bit thank you so of that 6 113 750 gallons how much of that is being recycled back into the system i'm going to ask the applicant actually i'm sorry yeah it would actually be yeah the five buildings it would be the 5.5 It would only be, yeah, the irrigation that's not. Irrigation is the only thing that will not be recycled back in the system. Okay. That gives me relief. Of course. That's what I was most concerned about with this application, and it was a little bit, I needed to have that clarify for me, so I appreciate it. Happy to. All right. I had one last question. I'm wondering whether or not the applicant is going to be submitting for any tax abatements on this project. I will not be, no. No state, no local tax abatements. Mayor Paterson- No, we will not be. Mayor Paterson- Okay. Mayor Paterson- Okay, any other questions or comments? A motion? Mayor Paterson- I'll make a motion to approve. CUP-202-501-7541 DRA-202-501-7267 subject to findings of facts and conditions. Mayor Paterson- Commissioner Beeson made the motion. Please vote. on it passes. Good luck with your project. Thank you for coming in and helping us understand everything. We really appreciate it. Thank you for your time. Thank you. Item 14 has been continued. Item 15 is a waiver request to reduce the corner side setback from 15 feet to 10 feet and reduce the rear setback from 25 feet to 5 feet for an attached garage addition located at 291 East Long Agers Drive. The applicant is proposing architectural upgrades to the attached garage, including matching stucco, paint, trim, and roof tile to ensure architectural consistency with the existing residence. Further, there are no windows proposed along the south elevation, ensuring privacy for the adjacent neighbor. Staff finds the proposed RV garage will blend seamlessly with the existing residents. Staff recommends approval. This item is final action unless appealed. Staff has received two responses in support of this item. All right. Name and zip code for the record. Dennis Eaton, 89015. Do you agree with staff's recommendation? Do you agree with staff's recommendation of approval? Yes. Okay. Do you have anything else you'd like to add? No, I don't. Okay, well thank you very much. At this time I will open the public hearing. Is there anyone here wishing to speak on this item? Seeing no one, I'll close the public hearing. Commissioners, questions, comments, or a motion? No, I'd like to make a motion to approve WOS2025017595, Waiver of Standards. And there's some subject of Subject to findings of facts, conditions, and waivers. My glasses are screwed up. Commissioner Grismanowskis made a motion. Please vote. There it is. That item passes. Good luck with your project. Have a good night. Item 16 is a request to increase the maximum wall height in the front setback from 32 inches to six feet single-family residence located at 312 Misty Moonlight Street. The applicant states the request is necessary due to the curvilinear nature of the lot and cul-de-sac, and the increased height will allow the applicant to use a greater portion of their side yard area. As a compensating benefit, the wall will be constructed with enhanced materials. Staff recommends approval. This item is final action unless appealed. Staff has received one response in support of this item. Mayor Paterson, Mayor of Nicholas Kyle, 89015. And I agree with staff's recommendation. Great. Okay. 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? I'll make a motion to approve to final approval of WOS 202-501-7607 subject to findings of fact, condition, and waiver. Commissioner Newsom made the motion. Please vote. Councillor Neill, that's right on and passes. Good luck. Thank you. Councillor Schellinger- Item 17 is a two-part request to amend a previously approved tentative map for a five-lot single-family residential subdivision on 3.8 acres generally located along Westwood Drive west of Via Sorrento. Request A is to eliminate the allowable hillside disturbance requirement within the residential lots, and Request B is to amend the tentative map to increase the maximum allowed hillside disturbance area. Staff notes the 100% disturbance is being requested as the map was previously approved with required undisturbed areas within the private lots, reducing the amount of usable space for each homeowner. As a compensating benefit, the applicant is providing increased landscaping within the front yard area and increasing the front setback of the homes to 25 feet. Staff recommends approval. This item is final action unless appealed. Amen. SIP Code for the record. Christopher Malandrina, 3060 Cooper, Reed Drive, Henderson, Nevada. 89074. Thank you. And do you agree with staff's recommendation? They've been more than helpful. Yes, I agree. Thank you. Okay, great. 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? Sure. If no one has a motion, I'm happy to go ahead and make one. Ms. All right, I'll make a motion for final approval of WOS 2025017643 and TMA 2024016073-A1, subject to findings of fact, conditions, and a waiver. Commissioner Lewis made the motion. Please vote. That item passes. Good luck with your project. Thank you, Commissioner. Item 18 is a request to reduce the side and rear yard setbacks from five feet to three feet for a new detached garage located at 144 First Street. The applicant states the request is necessary to align the garage with the driveway and will be providing enhanced architectural features on the garage as a compensating benefit. Staff recommends approval. This item is final action unless appealed. Staff has received three responses in support of this item. Thank you. Name and zip code for the record? Carl Purdy 89015. You agree with staff's recommendation? Yes, I agree. Okay, thank you. At this time I'll open the public hearing. Is there anyone here that wishes to speak on this item? Seeing no one, I'll close the public hearing. Commissioners? Commissioner Brunson, did you want to make a motion on this one? Sure, sure. It's my pleasure to recommend approval of WOS-2025-017645, subject to findings of fact, a condition, and a waiver. Commissioner Brunson made the motion. Please vote. That out on passage. Good luck. Item 19 is a three-part request for a 236-unit multifamily affordable housing development located on 5.9 acres at the northwest corner of Bermuda Road and Weltman Way. Request A is to eliminate the required parking lot landscaping components, exceed the limit of eight parking spaces per carport structure, and increase the maximum building height from 35 feet to 61 feet adjacent to residential property. Request B is a tentative map for a 16-lot condominium map with a common lot. And request C is for review of architecture and site design for a new five-story multifamily building with surface parking and on-site amenities. Staff notes a multifamily project was previously approved at the location but expired. As a compensating benefit to eliminate the parking lot landscaping and increase the size of the carport structures, the applicant will be providing solar panels on the carport structures. This not only supports the city's sustainability goals, but will also provide greater shade within the parking areas. Further staff notes, although the building exceeds the 25-foot height limit, 35-foot height limitation within 100 feet of single-family residential, the proposed building is approximately 83 feet from the existing residential to the south. As a compensating benefit, the increased height will allow for the development of 10 additional affordable housing units. The increased density will help sustain the economic vitality of the surrounding area while maintaining a well-designed and livable environment for residents. Staff recommends approval and notes that a memorandum, sorry, staff recommends approval. This item will be final action unless appealed. Staff has received two responses in opposition for this item. Thank you. Naaman Sipko for the record. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Tom Amick, 1980 Festival Plaza, 89135. I am... excuse me, I'm here on behalf of the applicant, Mr. Joukakis, for this application. So some of you that have been up there for a while will remember me from the previous time this was before you. And I was excited to do that project then and I'm excited to do it now because this is a 100% affordable project for West Henderson, which is important. That means all the units are 60 to 80% AMI. SO THAT'S A GOOD THING AND THAT IS BEING MAINTAINED AS PART OF THIS PROJECT AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT'S STRESSED FOR THE RECORD. SO WE APPRECIATE THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION AND AS THEY NOTED, THE LAND USE AND THE ZONING WAS ESTABLISHED FOR THIS SITE LONG AGO SO WE'RE JUST DOING THE TENTATIVE MAP AND THE DESIGN REVIEW AND THE WAIVER THAT EXPIRED WHEN THE PREVIOUS APPLICANT could not do the project and then sold it and then minister jacock has picked it up and is going to continue with basically a very similar project except the density is going down from 305 units to 236 units so just real quick on the height and i touched on this last time i did it the height only really applies down here because you've got a residentially zoned piece of property so this portion of the building as miss sosa noted it's 83 feet from the property line which technically means we We couldn't go up to the 61 feet down there. So that's the only portion where the waiver would be required, not up here. So, and then just, here's the elevation. I want to make sure we're clear on the height, because this is new for Mr. Chikakis and his first one out here in Henderson. The height is measured 61 feet. There are top outs for the the parapet that go above the 61 feet to 63. We discussed this in briefings. I just want to make sure that's clear for the record that we do have these pop-out elements that are 63 feet that do pop out above the 61. So as long as we're good with that clarification, I don't have anything further unless you guys have questions for me. NEW SPEAKERS name and zip code for the record uh bill castle 89044 they live on davis right which is going to be directly across the street from this development um so we went around and talked with actually with several of the neighbors and not just people on our street but also people in across the side of bermuda and uh without fail every person we spoke to was adamantly against this and and for a couple of reasons and i've actually got a a written statement here uh to to that I'll read off of, but it really comes down to added traffic as well as the height of the structure itself. There's actually nothing in the area down in West Henderson that is five stories tall that is a residential structure. Everything around that is either single family homes or two-story townhomes that are currently in, that have been built in and around the place. One of the problems that you've got in this place is unlike a lot of the master plan communities, there's no parks, there's no outdoor spaces for kids, there's a lot of children that live in this area. And in fact, actually one of the biggest complaints that if I could have, can we throw up the picture of the original one you threw up of the, not that one, the one before then, the original one that showed the development with the streets and all that. There was a photograph before this, I'm sorry. on Volunteer Boulevard. Yeah, that was it. The exhibits that are on the table there are what they're showing. So if the applicant has another version, they might be able to. There you go. It looks like it's up on the screen now. Yeah, anyway. So the area I'm talking about is specifically east of this on Weldman. So there's a lot of kids and a lot of excess traffic that are already going down through that area. One of the residents there specifically talks about he calls the police all the time because of errant drivers that come through there, people doing weedleys on dirt bikes and all kinds of stuff, and this is only gonna add to that. What you're talking about here is we're bringing in an additional 230 families potentially. with no supporting infrastructure for the kids or anybody else running around here and you've also got all the additional traffic flow so the traffic flow problem in and out of this property is is a particular concern to me because the the entrance on Bermuda is a right in right out basically bay that goes in and out of the of the of the development, anyone going north, going up towards St. Rose is gonna have to come out on Weltman and take a left. Now the problem is, is that between the, where the gate is gonna be for the development and the stop sign is about 50 feet. So there's about a length of about three cars. Anything during pre-peak traffic periods is going to basically stack up there and cause problems with people either turning in or even coming into the street that I'm already on. We already have problems with people coming in there to just get a couple of cars that already backs up. The other problem that we've got with this too is the parking situation. So they're cutting parking by 20%. What you're talking about specifically is you're adding 80 additional cars that will not be able to park in the facility itself and will have to wind up parking on the street. So the on-street parking is already in it. I'm already out of town sorry about that anyway just say just vote against this yeah like I said it's I ask that you guys not support this application and vote it down anyway thank you thank you is there anyone else that would like to speak on this item see no one close a public hearing stream you heard some of the comments can you address any of those of course So we're clear, I'm going to put this back on the overhead because it has the aerial on there. I believe Mr. Castle lives in the community that's immediately across the street on Bermuda. So fun fact here, I did both of these projects back when they were both originally approved. This community, the town community for D.R. Horton, and then this one originally that is now back before you. So It's very important to note that when this project was approved, it was very, very close to the time that this original affordable project was approved. I say that because everybody who lives in this community would have bought their homes with complete and total knowledge of a five-story, 305-unit affordable five-story product next to them. So that has been there from the get-go. and did not suddenly appear tonight. So, yes, the tentative map and the designer view had expired, but not the original zoning and land use, which remains in place. So, this project was always there, even when they moved in. So, the traffic study for the 305 units actually had been previously approved. So all of the ingresses and egresses to this property, the accesses, the driveways had been previously reviewed and approved by the city. Now we've reduced the density by 80-ish or so units, which further reduces what had previously been approved. So I don't want to belabor that point, but I just, I don't think it's fair to suggest that this popped dropped out of the sky here. This has been here from day one. So parking was brought up. I know that the are you asking for a waiver of standard on the parking? We're not. Okay. That I'm aware of. So that's not an issue. Then you address the traffic. Staff, do we have any parks going in out in that area soon? I know we try to There's a park nearby, right? There are some areas slated for parks, but a lot of times with parks, it depends on the number of rooftops, and then the more people move into the area, the more likely the parks will get built. I can't tell you exactly where the parks are planned for this area, but there is a plan for parks. Speaking to the parking point, the code allows for a reduction of 20% from parking requirements for affordable housing projects. There's a reduction from our regular code requirements, but that doesn't elevate itself to being a waiver. So it's not listed as a waiver, it's a reduction in parking. The applicant has assured us that there's going to be ample parking for all the residents on site. A lot of our parking standards are kind of above what the needs are for some of these developments. And so it's been their feeling and working with staff that they're going to have ample amount of parking to accommodate the residents there. OK. Commissioners, any questions or comments? Yeah, I had a couple questions. Can you tell us for Bermuda, and this may be not an applicant question, what's the timeline for connecting to volunteer? But I'm willing to bring traffic down if this is not an applicant question. Wait, we have someone else who wants to answer that. Name and zip code for the record. Hi, David Paul, 89044. So as part of this development, we are building the connection between Bermuda and volunteer at our expense. So when we build this, it will be done. Maybe for clarity connection, does that mean traffic light or just sign or whatever the guys in the back tell you? We are connecting Bermuda to volunteer, so we're putting in box culvers, and then we will pave over that, so effectively a bridge to connect to volunteer. Do we know, is that going to be signalized, or is that... That will be signalized, yes. Is there anything planned at Weltman? Is that a stop sign, stop light? That one I can't answer. Stop sign. It exists, that exists. Okay, just wanted to clarify that. Just to David's point, that was a condition of the original approval as well. As far as the connection to. And is Bermuda 80 foot right away? How big is that? Oh, much bigger. That's a big road. Bermuda and Gillespie are the two big north-south roads in West Henderson, but that's a lot wider than 80. All right, thank you. Those were my two questions. Bermuda's a minor arterial, which is 100 feet wide. Thank you, Steph. Commissioners, any other questions or comments? Is there a motion? Was I fine, you guys, on the clarification on the height as far as the parapet being above the 61 feet? You're fine.
