City planners told the commission the plan responds to rapid growth near Mount Charleston, identifies possible nodes of mixed-use development near the Interstate 11/US‑95 interchange and lays out policy guidance for landscaping, water‑wise design and trail connections to nearby public lands.

Marco Velada, planner with the City of Las Vegas Department of Community Development, described the plan as “a way to bring the 2050 master plan down to the neighborhood and street level,” and said staff and a consultant team used public outreach in 2023–24 to shape recommendations. “This is the northwestern gateway to the Las Vegas Valley and the Spring Mountains,” Velada said, noting the plan anticipates as many as 14,000 future housing units across the planning area and emphasizes infrastructure needs including water, sewer and regional flood conveyance.

The nut graf: Commissioners and staff said the plan’s primary purpose is to provide a consistent set of policy criteria to apply to future general plan amendments, zoning and entitlement applications. The plan includes a land‑use pattern that tapers density from the I‑11/US‑95 interchange westward toward unincorporated county lands, recommends park and trail connections (including a Northwestern Regional Park and a new Kyle Canyon trail paralleling Highway 157), and calls for design that respects Mojave Desert ecology and SNWA‑approved water‑wise landscaping standards.

In the hearing, Velada outlined key investment challenges in the appendix: staff estimated hundreds of millions in capital needs for water, sewer and flood-control infrastructure (described in the plan’s appendix in 2024 dollars). He said much of the area lacks laterals and pressure zones required for new residential development and will likely rely on development‑funded improvement districts, special improvement districts or development agreements to build large transmission pipelines and reservoirs. “There are at least half a billion dollars worth of infrastructure needs, primarily in water, sewer and flood control,” Velada told commissioners.

Public comment included a brief statement from Bob Groenauer of Clearway Energy noting a potential site in the plan area where battery energy storage could be proposed; Groenauer said any change to the plan’s land‑use designation would require a future general plan amendment and zoning application. Commissioners asked staff about outreach to adjacent jurisdictions and tribal stakeholders; Velada said the city had met with Clark County and the Las Vegas Paiute tribal leadership during plan development and would continue coordination for future entitlements near jurisdictional boundaries.

Commissioners praised the plan as the first comprehensive vision for Kyle Canyon in decades and discussed specifics such as reducing wall coverage, urban forestry to limit heat‑island effect, and protections for views toward Mount Charleston. Commissioner comments emphasized the plan’s role as a tool to evaluate future applications rather than an immediate entitlement or zoning change.

The commission voted to approve the plan and the item will move to City Council on April 16 for consideration. The resolution the commission adopts will be used by staff when preparing findings on future general plan amendments and zoning proposals in the Kyle Canyon area.

The plan’s next steps include ongoing coordination with the Las Vegas Valley Water District, regional flood control entities and NDOT on cross‑jurisdictional transportation solutions, and the preparation of an adoption resolution for City Council review.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","CLV 03-11-2025 Planning Commission Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The Planning Commission voted to approve the Kyle Canyon special area plan, a neighborhood-level implementation of the city’s 2050 master plan that maps land use, transportation and infrastructure priorities for the Kyle Canyon corridor.","taxTitle","Las Vegas , Clark County, Nevada","taxId",2670,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6281366,"Votes at a glance: key Planning Commission actions and outcomes",12570,836000,13406000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2606442-37507498aafc7f5bb8afc12596638a3a&start=836&end=13406","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2606442-37507498aafc7f5bb8afc12596638a3a/thumbnail_836000.jpg","/articles/6281366/Las-Vegas/Clark-County/Nevada/Votes-at-a-glance-key-Planning-Commission-actions-and-outcomes","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6281366-3253729e4fa8311a66714351f401ff20/orig.mp4?Expires=1771140374&Signature=HGEC3Mm4CJ0X5kKm0dr4Y5PmIPvUDc7ykiraEnsjdnHOIcbnrq0S5GiJVn4YLmEa-v-3eFpNekne-VzeRkbGEqpTvgaBeFpn0PWYrjqft95~GTVhbVs8dTLO9azRjyVIs4eA7DVsGVYVAr0Gr0L3eyF3KMSmLxSDC2RkldRqBKiphFoZ522kK1FdS8ECi-EJvLLRtZ4LFdjzzAYAFLtNqXj1OYzX2pVPXd6NARPmNuD~1WoXy0Ep14UswYHCfHC3UfxXvqLxuE4CokkC94l3tdL4lSQc6q46ib6E2bxVco-0NYRXICLM1qiS1qUA0bSJgoE8J7HSA40YelzCk1cKBQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Las Vegas Planning Commission took votes on a range of items including special‑use permits, variances and a special area plan.

The applicant (Sidraz Investments LLC; tenant operator represented during the hearing) proposed a full‑service nightclub with an approximately 7,650‑square‑foot outdoor patio adjacent to the building. The operator has installed tenant improvements and sound‑mitigation work; counsel told the commission the tenant has invested roughly $400,000 in tenant improvements including state‑of‑the‑art soundproofing and new fixtures.

The nut graf: The item produced substantial negotiation among the applicant, Downtown Project (DTP) representatives and the El Cortez hotel. DTP and El Cortez raised concerns about noise for nearby short‑term lodging and multifamily units within roughly a 350‑foot radius. After meetings among stakeholders, the applicant agreed to several conditions addressing outdoor music, patio hours and review periods; the commission approved the permit with those conditions.

Representatives for DTP and the El Cortez said they sought to preserve the character of the Entertainment District and to protect hotel and cabana‑suite guests who occupy rooms within a few dozen feet of the rear alley and patio. Dara Goldsmith, counsel for DTP entities, noted 541 guest rooms and nearby residential developments fall within the noticing radius and said DTP sought a collaborative, enforceable approach that would limit disruptive sound.

Applicant counsel and the operator agreed to a set of restrictions the parties placed on the record: weekdays (Sunday–Thursday, non‑holiday) outdoor patio music shall end at 11 p.m.; weekends and holidays outdoor patio music shall end at 1 a.m.; club interior hours on school days will end at 4 a.m.; and the operator accepted a required review at six months and one year after licensing. Stakeholders additionally discussed emergency response protocols and a two‑week corrective period to address urgent complaints, which the parties said would be handled collaboratively.

The commission also requested that staff monitor compliance and suggested staff‑led follow‑up at the six‑month review. Commissioners noted the property lies in the Entertainment District overlay, but the approval demonstrates that reasonable, site‑specific conditions tied to noise and outdoor hours are appropriate and enforceable under a special‑use permit. The motion passed; the item is final unless appealed to the city clerk within 10 days.

The commission recorded the applicant’s agreement to the conditions on the public record and required the business‑license follow‑up reviews that will allow staff to revisit conditions if problems emerge.","The Planning Commission approved a special‑use permit for a nightclub at 115 N.

Bob Groenauer, representing the applicant and Wicos Development Corporation, presented the project as a $10.5 million investment with 22 units (mix of one‑, two‑ and three‑bedroom units) and ground‑floor amenity and office space. He said the development aligns with a number of local plans and redevelopment objectives for the West Side and noted nearby vacancies and underused lots.

The nut graf: Residents raised concerns at the hearing about scale, parking, traffic and effects on the single‑family neighborhood immediately north and west of the site. The applicant said it would work with adjacent homeowners on additional landscaping and buffering, and offered to install awnings and trees to mitigate views and provide privacy for the nearest neighbors.

Public commenters included multiple residents who said they feared added traffic, parking stress and loss of neighborhood character. Leonard Martin, vice president of the Historic West Side Community Association, spoke at length about community concerns over parking, management and long‑term impacts, and asked the city to consider alternatives. Neighbors cited potential issues with trash, noise and security.

The applicant’s representative, developer Chico Clark, told the commission the project team met with neighbors and is prepared to add landscaping and design features to reduce views into adjacent yards and to maintain on‑site management. He described ongoing neighborhood meetings and offered to maintain new plantings for an initial period and to work with the nearest homeowner on specific tree placement.

Commission discussion focused on buffering and urban forestry. Commissioners asked the developer to consider larger container sizes for newly installed trees (36‑inch box where feasible) to accelerate canopy and screening, and to confirm tree placement in parking stalls; the developer agreed to explore those changes and further detail before council review. Commissioners also noted the area’s need for rooftops to support future retail and cultural investment.

The commission voted to approve subject to staff conditions and the applicant’s commitments; the item will advance to City Council on April 16. Commissioners said they expect staff to monitor follow‑up commitments and to require clear landscape and buffering details in the final site plan.

Votes and timing: the motion to approve was made by Commissioner Munford; the commission posted the vote and the item will be reviewed by City Council in ordinance form on April 16.","Planning Commission approved a four‑story, 22‑unit multifamily project proposed for the northwest corner of Van Buren Avenue and F Street in the historic West Side, with the developer agreeing to meet neighborhood buffering and landscaping requests.
