The North Las Vegas Planning Commission convened on June 11, 2025, to discuss several key agenda items, including the approval of a tavern use permit, marijuana production facilities, and a proposed expansion of Delta Academy.

The meeting began with a discussion regarding a tavern located at the intersection of Decatur and Lone Mountain. The property has been zoned commercial since 2001, with a history of tavern use permits being granted. Residents expressed a strong desire for the tavern, citing promises made during the initial zoning discussions. Following a public hearing, Commissioner Zeiler noted the community's concerns about traffic flow and access to the site. After deliberation, the commission voted unanimously to approve the special use permit for the tavern.

Next on the agenda were two related items concerning marijuana facilities. The commission reviewed applications for a production facility and a cultivation facility for marijuana products. The proposed site, previously used for medical marijuana, met all necessary zoning requirements and separation distances from schools and residential areas. The applicant, representing a successful local dispensary operator, emphasized the straightforward nature of the request. The commission approved both applications with staff recommendations, allowing the facilities to resume operations.

The final significant item discussed was the proposed expansion of Delta Academy, a charter school. The applicant sought to amend the comprehensive master plan land use designation from mixed-use employment to public semi-public to facilitate the expansion. The commission noted that the proposed change would provide a buffer between industrial and residential areas, aligning with the surrounding land use designations. After hearing from the applicant, the commission recommended approval of both the land use amendment and the zoning reclassification to the city council.

In summary, the North Las Vegas Planning Commission's meeting resulted in the approval of a tavern use permit, marijuana production and cultivation facilities, and a charter school expansion, reflecting the commission's responsiveness to community needs and regulatory compliance.
