Planning staff recommended denial of a special-use permit application for an educational use at an industrial/commercial property, citing prior licensing problems for a charter operator and unresolved parking and traffic plans.

A staff speaker reviewed the project's history and said the site had been rejected previously because “the charter school didn't have a license in the state of Nevada.” The staff speaker told the meeting the current application appeared unprepared and said, “I'm going to recommend denial of the entire application until they're better prepared.”

A project representative identified as Michael said the property had been in use since about 1927 and that the applicant sought conversion for class or educational use; Michael said the proposal would provide interior security and not require major building modifications. The representative framed the request as a special-use permit to allow educational use at the site.

Staff and other speakers flagged parking and circulation concerns if the proposal serves students without a school bus program. A staff member said charter operators often lack school buses and noted the applicant proposed between 1,600 and 1,000 students (transcript language unclear), raising doubts about on-site parking and traffic management.

A commissioner stated a motion to deny the application during the meeting; the excerpt does not include a recorded vote tally or final disposition in the transcript provided.

Staff recommended the applicant return with more complete documentation, including confirmation of a licensed charter operator, clearer enrollment and circulation plans and a parking plan that addresses drop-off and pick-up without relying solely on on-street operations.
