Representing Taylor Morrison, Bob Groenauer described the proposal as a mixed product of two single‑family models sized for the market and sited to preserve rear yard separation for existing neighbors. He said Taylor Morrison aimed to provide higher‑quality single‑family homes, with layouts ranging roughly from 1,700 to 2,700 square feet and amenity open spaces. Groenauer said rear‑yard depths for homes backing existing properties would typically exceed minimums and that the project would bring public streets, sidewalks and large street trees.

Multiple residents spoke against the rezoning at the hearing. Speakers, several of whom said they have lived on nearby streets for decades, argued the existing neighborhood’s larger lot, rural character should be preserved and that the proposed compact lots would be incompatible. Concerns raised included traffic on Oakey and cut‑through driving on neighborhood streets, water and sewer availability, shadowing and two‑story massing next to single‑story homes, and possible increases in crime or nuisance activity. Several speakers asked that the commission deny the request or require much larger lots.

Commissioners said they considered the tension between preserving long‑standing single‑family character and the city’s 2050 master plan goals encouraging infill housing. Commissioner Rogan and others asked the applicant to work further with Council staff on perimeter yard buffering and tree plantings. Taylor Morrison and staff agreed to a revision adding a landscape requirement: all required street trees will be 36‑inch box size, fast‑growing specimens with a minimum 3‑inch caliper measured 6 inches from the trunk base; the commission asked staff and the applicant to explore siting 1‑story products on the lots immediately adjacent to existing single‑story homes where feasible.

The commission approved the general plan amendment, rezoning, petition to vacate patent easements and tentative map, subject to staff conditions and the added street‑tree standard. Planning staff said the item will move forward to City Council on Aug. 20, 2025.

Why it matters: The decision is a clear instance of the commission prioritizing city infill and housing goals while asking the applicant to add buffering and landscape mitigation to reduce impacts on older single‑family neighborhoods. Neighbors and the developer left the hearing with concrete follow‑up items to resolve before the Council hearing.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","CLV 07-08-2025 Planning Commission Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","After extended public comment from longstanding neighbors opposed to higher density, the Planning Commission approved Taylor Morrison’s Oakey‑Mohawk rezoning and tentative map for a 38‑lot single‑family subdivision, while adding a condition requiring large, fast‑growing street trees and urging additional buffering measures.","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},6520068,"Planning Commission denies proposal for motor vehicle repair business near single‑family homes",3329,3017000,6346000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5335919-1ec85070cde7ac1d9da8eaaa2d2ef3ee&start=3017&end=6346","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5335919-1ec85070cde7ac1d9da8eaaa2d2ef3ee/thumbnail_3017000.jpg","/articles/6520068/Las-Vegas/Clark-County/Nevada/Planning-Commission-denies-proposal-for-motor-vehicle-repair-business-near-singlefamily-homes","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6520068-99391a12438f6699b9fe35dcf546f2ec/orig.mp4?Expires=1770408714&Signature=KYzTsRnhXbOHtpOwYg4CjlaiGtdkD0nA7xhb8LIrgQ90I~XQSFtsDgk0GTP~2wYMJ-bppVGr4qUmvIkQKXRWx1roW3lNF6YM6GgIrRC1jpzGDFR0N7n6~nR2fbXIJN3-6fV72v6BnhFyaHHbWLzuOw4iGSUfyRoXlMJ1w23avNeOxjkHigiRlUhEF~xEdIkH-DybW6znoIPvKCqhSmjIUCUaEfu-jX0lfmYPfFdwMM2K3rRhVo1HmHpDnqXL-20obdCLCJuOc-DGh0d0EU~AcSS65pQLKevmnxfH1DgILHCVvl8fj0W-6CXwUABdQBD92w6WFDhulzW-7CzAS~saVQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Planning Commission voted to deny a land‑use application for a proposed motor vehicle parts sales and repair use on Rainbow Boulevard after extended public comment and lengthy applicant testimony.

Aaron Gold, the property owner, argued the proposed business would provide a missing minor auto service in the neighborhood and described extensive mitigation measures — sound‑insulated compressor rooms, no overnight storage, landscape buffers and perimeter walls. He said the project would create local jobs and reduce offsite circulation by providing services locally.

Neighbors and nearby residents opposed the project at the hearing. Speakers who said they live behind or adjacent to the site raised concerns about noise, smoke, overnight truck and vehicle storage, hazardous materials handling and the compatibility of a repair use next to or within established residential lots. Several said approvals already granted for adjacent properties (including a 24/7 sweeper truck yard and fuel stations) had lowered nearby property values and that this proposal would add further nightly activity.

Commissioners said they were sympathetic to the applicant’s efforts to mitigate impacts but cited the proximity to homes, the 0‑lot line conditions of the surrounding development, and continuing neighbor opposition as reasons to deny. Commissioner Rogan said he could not support the application because the property is adjacent to homes and the neighbors remained opposed. A motion to deny carried; staff recorded the denial as final action unless appealed within 10 days.

Why it matters: The denial preserves residential character in that stretch of Rainbow Boulevard and reinforces the commission’s attention to adjacency standards, operating hours and the potential for vehicle repair and storage uses to affect neighboring properties. The applicant may revise and return or seek another location.","The Planning Commission denied a request to allow a motor vehicle parts, sales, installation and repair business at a site on the east side of Rainbow Boulevard.

CCSD's Chris Dingle presented the project and said the design team had held three community meetings to gather input about program needs and neighborhood priorities. Architect Eric Gross said the design team focused on keeping the campus “indoor‑outdoor” in character while adding modern classroom, safety and accessibility improvements. Principal Jerrell Hall told commissioners he and local families supported the redesign and emphasized the school’s long local history: “We are very proud of our 62‑year legacy of learning at Matt Kelly Elementary School,” Hall said.

Planning staff recommended approval of the site development plan review and master sign plan, finding minor deviations from Title 19 development standards were consistent with the form‑based code and the Vision 2045 Downtown Las Vegas goals for mixed‑use corridors and transit access in other matters; for this school staff concluded the project fit the neighborhood and met applicable standards. Commissioners voted in favor of the project; staff said the item is final action unless appealed to the city clerk within 10 days.

Why it matters: The replacement consolidates a long‑standing neighborhood elementary school onto a modernized campus and will require the district to close the existing site during construction; school officials said the timetable will include about a year of shutdown while the new building is constructed. Commissioners and applicants said the project was shaped by community meetings and emphasized improved learning environments and safety.","The Planning Commission approved a site development plan and master sign plan for a replacement Matt Kelly Elementary School after county staff and the architect described a design shaped by three community meetings and intended to preserve the school’s outdoor legacy while modernizing facilities.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6520078,"Planning Commission forwards La Madre Foothills special area plan to city council",1040,1120000,2160000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5335919-1ec85070cde7ac1d9da8eaaa2d2ef3ee&start=1120&end=2160","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5335919-1ec85070cde7ac1d9da8eaaa2d2ef3ee/thumbnail_1120000.jpg","/articles/6520078/Las-Vegas/Clark-County/Nevada/Planning-Commission-forwards-La-Madre-Foothills-special-area-plan-to-city-council","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6520078-1fe446d4ae052af27302901f8f760e6d/orig.mp4?Expires=1770408714&Signature=buzV-egvSpK2A7FLIi0NHvbU6CEX-yODMR~HrQlNHcSmHzdO6PNFHzjgbVX19xALa0Pspb3FK4d8FFoDuh4o~hmWLew-z2asXAUKuhOGNfVgExg-xPHnQ8S~Cfd7ZcUkCQ24jFqVanpa1hmcem4H~A1RRa7dbCF3xAVgkCUCrbvzRGeT13ZUN3s9QjPOU7KWZ0meOI7iuufBe~vqM01FXe11fi1ocIUySfqaej~e~Igycx~XJbL-j-1i8TPqSusXruSRYEbexCZ8wzyi4sMi3IGu3JZOuQxJJFx8xTNMF5drLchB~kW6rkCgs7bKfE8F7tK7QTqNueohYm-AsqtP3w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Planning Commission voted to forward the La Madre Foothills Special Area Plan to the City Council for final action.

Marco Velotta, City of Las Vegas Department of Community Development, told commissioners the special area plan is one of several efforts to implement the 2050 master plan and to guide growth along the northwest foothills, including connections to Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. Velotta said the plan identifies a 20-acre park site in the Sky Summit area intended to serve as a trailhead for hiking and mountain biking and to link to the 215 Trail and other regional trails. “The centerpiece is a 20‑acre parcel that is going to be a part of the Sky Summit development,” Velotta said.

The plan also lists infrastructure and service needs commissioners and staff said are critical for future development: expanded water reservoirs and pressure zones, sewer capacity, and additional flood‑control detention facilities. Velotta and staff said those facilities will likely require funding through capital improvement plans, special improvement districts or developer contributions. He also described policies intended to reduce light spill and sign impacts near the conservation area.

Vice Chair Kasama moved to approve the special area plan; Commissioner Cassanoff seconded the motion and the measure carried. The commission recorded that the item will move forward to the City Council meeting on Aug. 20, 2025.

Why it matters: La Madre Foothills is a fast‑growing corridor at the northwest edge of the Las Vegas valley. The plan sets policy direction for trails, parks and how new housing and commercial projects should interface with adjacent open space and with adjacent neighborhoods. The plan’s infrastructure section highlights specific capital needs that must be addressed before some development can be fully served.

The commission’s approval sends the plan to City Council for final adoption and will trigger more detailed design analyses and discussions about financing reservoirs, sewer mains and flood control in the coming months.","The Planning Commission voted to send the La Madre Foothills Special Area Plan to City Council after staff and commissioners described the plan as implementing the 2050 master plan, prioritizing outdoor recreation and trails, and identifying infrastructure needs including water, sewer and flood control.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6520058,"Votes at a glance: key Planning Commission actions and outcomes",16052,1089000,17141000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5335919-1ec85070cde7ac1d9da8eaaa2d2ef3ee&start=1089&end=17141","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5335919-1ec85070cde7ac1d9da8eaaa2d2ef3ee/thumbnail_1089000.jpg","/articles/6520058/Las-Vegas/Clark-County/Nevada/Votes-at-a-glance-key-Planning-Commission-actions-and-outcomes","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6520058-a6949b963ca3a9f60ee02f0e0d089962/orig.mp4?Expires=1770408714&Signature=omraDyYDHoLWnpEmbxbNPOf5vIVUj2ioaL90Ho8E3d2DUtmpBEdRX2~69lzGNNmpht-PQWACMMWMsAHZZH7LNl7n15OtCxN2FoBzfsppgNKHlu0OaQcoDXPh3yvNZxms~dKYESGrSTKsA31FBsYFXOs1UxTb94cOnnGQJGb07Og7dkcib0O~SDRO6skaciudTX9F~pZeZbAk1bG3R14MvfGzpmI55EOsC0sZsOx-aCxovBHNYjvhc7gw1iBdJfvm0WPYZmXEbAqbASDM9zDqHeWYSvqmrycqfDl1iiHOFc2PQdSsGS9zNnCjcgk1FrONVFwM3RK-8rL6PpiNCwnQCg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Planning Commission took action on a broad agenda of land‑use items.
