Belaluz Solar LLC Randall Bell STAFF CONTACT: Beth Lee Principal Planner (775) 751-4249 PROJECT SYNOPSIS: Application to change the master plan designation from the Medium Density Residential designation to the Low Density Residential designation and to change the zoning of the subject property from the Village Residential (VR-20) Zoning District to the Rural Homestead Residential (RH-9.5) Zoning District for the purpose of developing a 15 MW Solar PV facility. Conclusions Upon review of the application, staff fmds sufficient justification to recommend approval of the Master Plan Amendment, Zone Change and Waiver applications. The requested Amendment will uphold the goals, policies and obj ectives of the adopted Master Plan; it does not create adverse conditions nor affect the livability of the surrounding areas and does not create conflicts with other goals, policies and objectives of the adopted Master Plan. The subject property meets the minimum lot size requirement of the requested zoning district; the new zoning would be appropriate for the area; and would provide for appropriate utilization of the land that would not deplete natural resources nor have an adverse impact on adequate public facilities at the expense of the public. Approval of the Waiver application will not be detrimental to the general welfare of the community, it will not result in material damage or prejudice to other properties in the same zoning district and will allow from improved zoning and planning.

Pahrunip Regional Planning Commission StaffReport: MP-14-0006, ZC-14-00Il, WV-2014-00000I October 15, 2014 Page 2 of 6 RECOMMENDED MOTION(S): Move to APPROVE MP-14-0006, ZC-14-OOl1 and WV-2014-00000l based upon the Findings as shown on page two (2) and subject to the conditions stipulated in this report (or move to DENY MP-l4-0006, ZC-14-0Oll and WV-2014-00000l based upon alternate findings as established by the Pahrump Regional Planning Commission.) Findings for MP-14-0006 as required under NCC 17.04.930.J.2 of the Nye County Code: 1. The proposed Master Plan amendment promotes the adopted policies related to housing, safety, streets & highways, and adequate public facilities, and the amendment will not adversely affect the policies and action programs of the Master Plan. The requested Master Plan Amendment promotes the adopted policies relating to housing, safety, streets & highways, as this is a request to reduce the allowable densities on the properties, will not deplete our natural resources and will help to diversify the local economy and industries. 2. The proposed Master Plan Amendment addresses an oversight, inconsistency, scrivener s error or land use related ineqttitv in the plan without adversely impacting the public health, safety or welfare. The requested Master Plan Amendment may address a land use related inequity, because it addresses an inconsistency between what the land use designation is versus realistic development of the subject properties and area. The current Medium Density Residential designation is not a realistic development aspiration for this area, as there are currently no central water or sewer utility facilities located close enough to make residential development of this area a cost effective reality. Also, the largest lot size allowed under the Medium Density Residential land use designation is 20,000 square feet or V2 acre lot size, which is prohibited under state law (NAC 444.790 Lot Size ) from having both a domestic welt and residential septic on one lot. 3. The proposed Master Plan Amendment addresses signficant changes that have occurred in a particular area since the adoption of the Master Plan, and it represents a more desi,-able utilization of land. At the time the Master Plan was adopted, the subject property had the potential to be developed into a 1/2-acre lot subdivision which has not come to fruition. Changing the designation to allow a small solar photovoltaic facility will be a better utilization of the land. 4. The proposed Master Plan Amendment. (a) provides for land ttses compatible with existing and planned adjacent land uses; ( b,) promotes the desired pattern of orderly physical growth of the Planning District based on projected population growth with the least amount of impairment to the nattiral resources, and; (c) provides for the efficient expenditure offunds for public services. The adjacent properties and those in the general area are master planned Medium Density Residential, which is compatible with the requested Low Density Residential designation. The surrounding areas are not developed with Medium Density Residential uses and most likely never will. There is no utility infrastructure in the vicinity that would allow for such development. Reducing the allowable density on the subject properties to allow for the development of a solar photovoltaic project would also be compliant with the adopted Master Plan by having the least amount of impact or impairment on natural resources such as water. There would be little to no need for public services at this location, and the costs of providing those, such as road access, would be borne by the developer. 5. The proposed Master Plan Amendment constitutes an overall improvement to the Master Plan and is not solely beneficial to a particular landowner or owners at a particttlar point in time. The proposed Master Plan Amendment does benefit the property owner and tenant, but beneficial use of this property as a solar photovoltaic facility will also provide a benefit to the community as a whole, and the amendment is an improvement to the Master Plan because it will reduce density, consistent with existing vicinity conditions. 6. The proposed Master Plan Amenthnent will not adversely impact all or a portion of the planning area by: (a) altering acceptable land use patterns to the detriment of the Master Plan, or; (b) requiring ptthlic expenditures for larger and more expensive infrastructure, such as street improvements, sewer, or water systems than are needed to support the proposed land uses. The proposed Master Plan Amendment will not adversely impact the planning area as it will not create higher densities, create greater intensities of development that would be incompatible with surrounding uses, nor

create additional impairment of water usage and natural resources; it will not detrimentally alter land use patterns in the surrounding properties. The proposed use of the land will have increased traffic during the construction and development phase, but once that is complete there is expected to be little to no traffic to the subject properties. 7. The proposed Master Plan Amendment will not adverse/v impact planned uses because of increased traffic. There is will use very little resources and any access requirements will be met by the developer. area, as surrounding parcels are not currently developed; it will not require expensive infrastructure as the proposed use not expected to be increased traffic usage as a result of the Master Plan Amendment that will adversely impact zoning or building related ordinance. The requested Master Plan Amendment is accompanied by a Zone Change application, requesting to change the zoning district to a less intense zoning district. The current zoning of the property amendments to the ordinance of a planning, zoning or building related nature. does not allow solar photovoltaic uses, so the zoning district must be changed. Per NCC 17.04.930.C a zone change shall not be approved unless in compliance with the Master Plan. There are not expected to be any additional required 13. The proposed Master Plan Amendment will not reqttire an amendment of the Zoning Ordinance or other planning, programs of the Master Plan, as it is not creating nonconformities, conflicts or inconsistencies in land use. the Master Plan. The requested Master Plan Amendment will not cause potential conflicts with other policies or action 12. The proposed Master Plan Amendment will not cause potential conflicts with any other policies or action programs of properties.

This could also be viewed as the highest and best use of the sustainable industries and businesses. The purpose of this goal and its supporting policies is to assist the Pahrump Regional Planning Commission in pursuing economic diversification by providing support to existing businesses and attracting new industries that build upon Pahrump s strengths. The requested Master Plan Amendment is also consistent with section E. Land Use Goals, Objectives, Policies and Implementation, Goal 6: community growth and reduces allowable densities on the subject properties and the proposed development will not further deplete natural Plan.

The subject properties were rezoned from Open Use (OU) to Village Residential (VR-20) by the Board of County Commissioners at their June 20, 2007 meeting as part of the Comprehensive Rezoning. No further history follows. Area Characteristics: The subject property consists two parcels totaling approximately +/- 75.97 acres net, which is bordered by Sharpe Avenue to the west, Laura Road to the north, Jent Road to the south, and Crest Avenue to the east. An inventory of surrounding land uses can be found in the above-listed matrix. Both parcels are located within flood zone X (unshaded), which corresponds to areas outside the 500-year flood hazard area as indicated by the flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). External Comments: The Town of Pahrump, Emergency Services (Fire and Sheriffs Departments) and the Nye County School District offered no comments. Staff has received no correspondence in reference to this application. Nyc County Public Works requires the property owner/developer to dedicate 30 of right of way (ROW) to Nye County along the property line fronting E Laura Road.

ANALYSIS Application Details: The requested Master Plan is in accordance with Nye County Code 17.04.930.D, which requires that a property owner seeking to develop at densities, intensities or with uses that are not permitted under the current Plan designation on the property may initiate a Master Plan Amendment. The requested Master Plan Amendment is a Minor Master Plan Amendment because it does not meet the criteria to be deemed a Major Master Plan Amendment and the requested amendment is for a change from one category of residential to another category of residential that would reduce densities or intensities. The applicant is requesting a Zone Change in accordance with Nye County Code 17.04.895 to change approximately 75.97 acres from Village Residential (VR-20) to Rural Homestead (RH-9.5). The Regional Planning Commission shall forward a recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners. Zone Changes require a simple majority vote of the members present to pass a motion. Minor Master Plan Amendments require a 2/3 vote (minimum of 5) of the total membership of the RPC to approve/adopt. Any vote that is less than 2/3 is considered a failure to pass.
