Commissioner Carbone

asked for clarification on the number of homes applied for how many have actually started something.

Mr. Waggoner

stated he doesn’t know the answer off the top of his head but would say the majority of them.

Commissioner Blackstock

asked if there is a drop-dead date they can’t apply for reinstatement?

Mr. Osborne

stated no, code says they can reapply no deadline to do so.

Mr. Waggoner

stated there was substantial improvement of property from previous owner, the entire property is asphalted, block wall around it and gated. They aren’t looking to expand any buildings at this point, that staff is aware of.

Commissioner Lee

asked if grandfathering wasn’t an option, what zoning would they need?

Mr. Osborne

stated General Commercial.

Commissioner Turner

asked what was it from 2019 to now, nothing?

Mr. Waggoner

stated there was stuff stored on the property but not an operating business.

Commissioner Turner

asked if they are adding cranes or a pure crane business?

Mr. Waggoner

stated that is for the applicant to answer.

Commissioner Carbone

asked if there was any feedback from the neighbors?

Mr. Osborne

stated they received no letters of opposition or feed back from anyone. Richard Bryan, attorney representing the owner, stated they have read the staff report and agree to all conditions. The owner was unaware that the CUP was expired and was advised by staff that we have to refile for one.

Commissioner Turner

asked what would be kept on the property, would it be just cranes. David Stevens, yes just cranes.

Commissioner Turner

asked what the number of cranes will be.

Mr. Stevens

stated 1 or 2 based on demand. Page 3 of 9

Commissioner Turner

asked for clarification on what the tallest crane will be when stored.

Mr. Stevens

stated for a 50-ton crane, like a typical semi-trailer, and they plan on storing it inside the building.

Mr. Bryan

stated they would be happy to meet with any of the neighbors and address their concerns.

Mr. Stevens

stated this will be unobtrusive to the neighbors, but the crane will be on the north side of the building and all the neighbors will be on the south side. The business is not intended to operate 24/7, but rare instances where crane work would be working in the early morning. I don’t think the neighbors would notice the crane would be there.

Commissioner Lee

asked for clarification on how early in the morning they would anticipate starting.

Mr. Stevens

stated 6 or 7 am. The operator would park in the front of the property, go in the building open the door, drive the crane out and go to the job. That can be easily scheduled for 7 am.

Commissioner Lee

asked if the cranes will be stored on the outside of the building.

Mr. Stevens

stated they will be stored inside. He has been in crane business since 1993.

Commissioner Turner

asked if they were getting a lot of calls to bring cranes to Pahrump.

Mr. Stevens

stated no, but they have had to travel here on some occasions and feel they would be able to service regionally.

Commissioner Lee

asked if they have read, understand, and agree to the conditions of approval.

Mr. Waggoner

clarified he stated block wall, but it is a chain link fence with privacy slates. Celeste Sandoval stated for the record the PHN that went out does state CU-21-137 but the verbiage, APN and blurb all match the agenda so they are still in compliance with the OML.

Commissioner Lee

asked under HDR shows the medical zoning district and it looks like they are removing Medical from that designation.

Commissioner Carbone

stated they don’t want to cross out Medical in HDR.

Commissioner Turner

asked what an example of a public and private institutional building is.

Mr. Waggoner

stated the prison.

Commissioner Curtis

asked for clarification on MH parks. She stated Comstock Park is actually Comstock Estates because they own their own properties. Park is where you rent the land, is there a separate designation.

Mr. Waggoner

stated no. There are areas of town that are zoned for manufactured housing. Comstock Park is zoned for manufactured houses it really isn’t a mobile home park. There are development standards for MH parks. This is different than a property zoned Manufactured Housing. b. Table 4.3 - Zoning Abbreviations, Names, and District Purposes

Mrs. Medici

stated the based on the recommendations by the RPC at the 9/15/2021 meeting staff recommended changes are: • Delete OU and HF from Table 4.3 Zoning Abbreviations, Names and District Purposes. • Staff recommends repealing NCC 17.04.480 (OU Opens Use) & 17.04.490 (HF Highway Frontage) zoning districts. These zoning classifications are defunct. Add Suburban Estates (SE) to RDR as a large lot zoning alternative. Within the Special projects overlay zone staff recommends adding Education Related Special Projects to RDR & LDR, as educational facilities to the are viewed compatible with residential development. Remove Commercial and Educational Related Special Projects from RDA, based on lack of infrastructure in the rural areas of the community to support intensified development. Remove Educational Related Special Project from BIA, based on potential incompatibility of development and building occupancies. Page 5 of 9 • Remove Medical zoning from HDR. HDR is a high-density residential designation and the mix of medical facilities into such designated areas may create an inappropriate mix of uses. Remove Light Industrial zoning from CDA. Purpose of Community Development Area is to support higher density/intensity of uses for the community where connection to utility and transportation facilities is readily available. Differences in construction and building occupancies, between commercial/residential development and industrial lead to this change.

Commissioner Turner

stated on removing educational in BIA would it affect trade schools or specialized vocational colleges, dealer or bartender schools. Are those under retail or educational. If so, he would like to see something left in the BIA for that.

Mr. Waggoner

stated if someone came in for a bartender school or something similar it would be considered educational.

Commissioner Turner

asked if anything in the BIA be able to suit that with a CUP maybe?

Mr. Waggoner

stated yes, they could add that with an option of a CUP.

Commissioner Turner

asked for staff to add something suited with a directional of a CUP for certain things, in the BIA.

Commissioner Carbone

asked if they are removing HF, what are they proposing as a replacement when we have plans for highway frontage items?

Mr. Waggoner

stated it would be just like other areas of the highway which are zoned GC or industrial. HF is a useless zoning if you don’t have development or engineering standards for that zone in place. c. BDA (Business Development Area) designation, and The purpose of the BDA is to provide location(s) for intensive commercial and very light business/park industrial development. The purpose of which is to support urban style single- family and multi-family neighborhoods and employment activity centers that compliment and are supported by the neighborhood development(s). • Development and service standards are related to higher density residential and higher intensity commercial -service, business standards. • Roadways are paved with curb, gutter and sidewalk, controlled access, turn lanes, bicycle lanes, storm-water drainage systems and street lighting. • Connection to a public water and sewer system is requisite and may or may not be available therefore, property development may require significant investment to provide needed infrastructure. • A variety of commercial goods services, employment and housing opportunities are available. • Residents in BDA multi-family areas are typically able to walk, or bicycle to employment centers and commercial services. • Flexibility in subdivision design such as cluster-style developments designed to increase usable open spaces and avoid sensitive or scenic features may be approved by the Governing Board upon positive recommendation by the Planning Commission. Such recommendations are predicated • upon increased participation from the developer to provide amenities such as passive and developed active open spaces as well as use of U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) & Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) building standards. Page 6 of 9 o Protection of sensitive areas will take precedence over the maximum number of lots allowed by zoning. • Schools, churches and limited public facilities may be located in BDA designated areas. The intent is to create an area that harmonious with life, play, employment, and essential needs. That each use plays into the next, so you have a college that needs apartments, that needs greenspace, that needs shopping that needs clinics etc. This becomes a community within that has a sense of character etc. Ms. Beeman would also see a new Zoning District created out of this that limits the types of businesses that can come into this area. Be more like the Dell Webb Communities but Pahrump style, not necessarily age-qualified like the Del Webb communities but keeping housing and businesses college focused.

Commissioner Carbone

asked for clarification that it would be a place where you live and can go shop and go to the theater etcetera.

Mr. Waggoner

stated that is what the PUD portion comes in most of the master plan categories. Live, work type of category.

Commissioner Curtis

stated the PUD isn’t in the matrix.

Mr. Waggoner

stated it is, it is within our proposed changes.

Commissioner Carbone

asked if it would be single story or multi story.

Mr. Waggoner

stated a lot of things you see in towns is commercial space below living space above. Calvada Commercial would allow for that development but not feasible in that area. Infrastructure is what kills us.

Commissioner Turner

asked for clarification if the fireworks warehouse they approved on the Gateway map.

Mrs. Medici

stated no, that is past Manse closer to CAAS.

Commissioner Turner

would like it included in the map.

Mrs. Medici

stead they will modify the map and show more acreage. d. Gateway Land Use Plan area

Mrs. Medici

stated The Planning Commission land use recommendations from the 9/15/21 meeting are based on the FEMA flood hazard. • The FEMA flood hazard. Active alluvial fan has not been fully characterized for potential flood hazard. North of Hwy 160 currently shown by FEMA Zone X (minimal flood hazard). South of Hwy 160 currently shown by FEMA Zone A (unknown flood depths). • Protect area for future planning of the Community College Campus. • Promote land assemblage into larger acreages. • Wellhead protection, development in CDA areas goes through extensive reviews related to grading, drainage, and traffic management. • Using Open Space Parks and Recreation as a “holding” classification, owner/developer obligated to discuss development plans with the community. • High value area at entrance into the community. • potential to change Master Plan Designation as development and utilities become available to the area. • Assigned Community Development Area in appropriate locations. Page 7 of 9 • Areas that may reasonably be expected to be served by utilities at some point in the future. • High value area at entrance into the community. • Business Development Area assigned to properties south of Highway 160; • Area that can reasonably be expected to be served by utilities at some point in the future. • Focus use of land is to develop a tax and employment base.

Mr. Waggoner

stated when we have a large-scale manufacturing company that is the hurdle, they run into based on available infrastructure.

Commissioner Turner

asked for clarification on what the definition of a tiny house is or square footage?

Mr. Waggoner

stated the county doesn’t have a definition for a tiny home. They are required to designate a residential zoning to allow tiny homes. He is looking at Mobile Home Park. You have to adopt a zoning to allow a tiny home park or used as a SFR. They don’t have to adopt both.

Commissioner Turner

asked if there is a minimum square footage?

Mr. Waggoner

stated no, not that he is aware of. Right now you can build a stick built home minimum is 80 sf ft. That is considered a tiny home to him. Mr. Koenig was asking about tiny homes on wheels. If we have minimum standards for manufactured homes to be on a permanent foundation and be converted to real property, the same should be applied to tiny homes. They need to have something adopted by July 1st and he things they should go the tiny home park route and model it off the MH park development standards or the RV Park standards.

Commissioner Lee

stated there are NRS definitions defining what an RV is and specifications that differentiate a tiny home from an RV which is a vehicle.

Mr. Waggoner

stated the tiny home as far as the State is concerned, they must remain road worthy, it has to be registered, have axels and ready to be towed down the highway.

Commissioner Carbone

stated they may want to do park models and they do have axels and wheels. John Koenig stated the legislation gives the definitions and answers those questions. Someone needs to read it and apply it. Page 8 of 9
