Density Districts West: Single-Family Residential; RPD5 & RPD7, Residential Planned Development Districts (City of Las Vegas) East: Aliante Master Planned Community; MPC / R-1, Master Planned Community / Single-Family Residential District South: Residential and Public Facilities; O-L, Open Land, MPC / R-1, Master Planned Community / Single-Family Residential, and MPC / PSP, Master Planned Community / Public Semi-Public Districts BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The applicant is requesting approval for a zoning reclassification from the MPC / RZ-10 District to the MPC / PSP District. The reason for the change is to allow the Master Developer to construct a water detention basin within the parcel. The detention basin is needed for flood protection of the master planned community. In the original design for Park Highlands, the drainage needs were contained with the regional flood control facility between North Fifth Street and Losee Road. A separate and concurrent application for an amendment to the development agreement (DA-03-16) has been submitted proposing to change the land use map within the master planned community. That request is also on this agenda for Planning Commission consideration. DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: Public Works: Fire Prevention: No comments No comments ANALYSIS: Please Note: The Park Highlands Master Planned Community is controlled by an amended development agreement. The development agreement uses Title 17 from January 2007 plus unique development standards and design guidelines. The zoning categories for the master planned community are unique, and some of the terminology is based on a previous version of the zoning ordinance. The majority of the proposed land use map is unchanged from the previously approved plan. The proposed changes only affect one parcel. The proposed zoning classification is in compliance with the existing Development Agreement for Park Highlands and is necessary for development of the master planned community.
Approval Criteria: (Zoning Map Amendments) The City Council may approve zoning map amendments, and the Planning Commission may recommend approval, if the zoning map amendment meets all of the following criteria: (1) The rezoning will promote the public health, safety, and general welfare; (2) The rezoning is consistent with the comprehensive master plan and the purposes of this Code; (3) The rezoning is consistent with the stated purpose of the proposed zoning district(s); (4) Facilities and services (including roads and transportation, water, gas, electricity, police and fire protection, and sewage and waste disposal, as applicable) will be available to serve the subject property while maintaining adequate levels of service to existing development; (5) The rezoning is not likely to result in significant adverse impacts upon the natural environment, including air, water, noise, storm water management, wildlife, and vegetation, or such impacts will be substantially mitigated; (6) The rezoning is not likely to result in significant adverse impacts upon other property in the vicinity of the subject tract; and (7) Future uses on the subject tract will be compatible in scale with uses on other properties in the vicinity of the subject tract. RECOMMENDATIONS: The Community Development and Compliance Department recommends that ZN-05-16 be approved and forwarded to the City Council for final action.
