02:26plays in shaping Henderson's future. This month highlights the planning profession and the

02:31positive impact thoughtful planning has on neighborhoods across the nation and here at

02:35home. Our professional planning staff works closely with you, our esteemed planning commissioners,

02:40as well as the development community to ensure a balance of economic vitality

02:44with sound planning principles, smart and sustainable growth, preservation of what makes

02:49our city unique. The work we do together supports a high quality of life for Henderson residents,

02:55both today and for generations to come. We could not be celebrating our own master plan communities,

03:01parks and open spaces, safest cities, recognitions or nationally recognized downtown without your

03:07dedication and service on the commission. You play a pivotal role in our local planning efforts

03:12and in shaping a safer, more resilient, more equitable and more prosperous city for all who

03:17live, work and play here. Thank you again for sharing your time, your expertise and commitment

03:22to making Henderson a better place. And to help celebrate you and the work you do, we've brought

05:04representing the applicant zip code 89009 and we agree with staff recommendations.

05:11Thank you. I'll go ahead and open the public hearing. Is there anyone here who wishes to

05:14speak on this? Seeing no one, we'll go ahead and close the public hearing commissioners.

05:20How do we feel about this one? I'll go ahead and recommend approval on VAC

05:28dash 2026018924 subject to a finding of fact and conditions. There's a motion on the floor

05:36from Commissioner Bockelman. Please vote. That motion passes. Good luck on your project.

06:08item. This item will be forwarded to the November 4th City Council meeting for final action.

06:13Thank you. May we have your name and zip code for the record? David Clark, 89014

06:19from Advantage Civil Design Group representing the applicant. And have you reviewed staff's

06:25recommendations? We have and we agree with them. Thank you. I'll go ahead and open the public

06:30hearing. Is there anyone here on this item who wishes to speak? Seeing no one, we'll go ahead

06:35and close the public hearing commissioners. I'll make a motion to approve VAC 2026019239

06:45subject to a finding of fact and conditions. There's a motion on the floor from Commissioner

06:50Humes. Please vote. Technical difficulty. All right. That motion passes. Have a good evening.

07:17Thank you. Item seven is for 80 Corporate Park right away. This vacation request is to vacate a

07:23portion of public right away located at 80 Corporate Park Drive in the Gibson Springs

07:27planning area. Staff recommends approval of this request. Staff hasn't received any letters in

07:31support or opposition for this item. This item will be forwarded to the November 4th City Council

07:36meeting for final action. All right, applicant. Robert Cunningham, 89118 with TAN Engineering

07:43representing the item. We would agree with staff's recommendation for approval and their conditions.

07:47Thank you. Thank you. I'll go ahead and open the public hearing. Is there anyone here on this

07:52item? Seeing no one, we'll go ahead and close the public hearing commissioners. If there are no

08:00other comments, then I would recommend approval of VAC 2026019255 subject to a finding of fact

08:13That motion passes. Good luck with your project. Thank you. Item eight is for 1655 Capari Falls

08:25Court. This variance request is to allow 11-foot rear yard setback where 15 feet is required.

08:31Located at 1655 Capari Falls Court in the Lake Las Vegas planning area. Staff recommends approval

08:37of this request as the placement of an NV energy transformer by utility company was not in the

08:42control of the applicant and represents a situation where strict application of the

08:45code would create an undue hardship. This variance request is appropriate avenue to seek

08:49relief from the hardship opposed. Staff also notes that the rear of the lot abuts a common element

08:55and therefore the reduced rear yard setback will not adversely impact adjacent neighbors.

08:59Staff hasn't received any letters in opposition or support for this item.

09:03This will be final action unless appealed. Thank you. Name and zip code for the record,

09:08please. Thank you, Madam Chair. Commissioner's Tom Anick 1980 festival applause. I'm here on

09:12behalf of the applicant, Lenar on this one. This is for the Lago del Sol community. It's approved

09:17up in the falls in Lake Las Vegas, specifically lot 109. We have a misplaced NV energy transformer,

09:25which pushes the house back four feet and creates a rear setback waiver for us now.

09:30So this is it. The condition that Rochelle mentioned here that we have a lot behind us

09:34that sides on. It's not immediately contiguous to us, so we don't have any negative impact on

09:40anybody immediately behind us. So I know we don't see a lot of variance applications,

09:44but this is one of the ones that's kind of prototypical for it. So answer any questions

09:49if you have them. Thank you. I'll open the public hearing. Is there anyone in the audience who

09:54wishes to speak on this? Seeing no one, we'll go ahead and close the public hearing commissioners.

10:01I'll make a motion to approve VAA-2026019342 subject to a findings of fact and conditions.

10:13Just a motion on the floor from Commissioner Humes. Please vote. That motion passes.

10:21Thank you. Item nine is for the garden center. This is a two part request. Part A is a conditional

10:26use permit request for a plant nursery use. Part B is a design review for architecture and

10:32site design for a new retail plant nursery located at 10485 South Avenue, excuse me,

10:38South Eastern Avenue in the Westgate planning area. Staff recommends approval of this request.

10:43As it reestablishes a previously existing nurse practice, a plant nursery use, the proposed

10:49development will revitalize a former plant nursery site that has been closed and unused

10:53for many years. The post complies with all the applicable development code standards.

10:59Staff has not received any letters of support and none in opposition. This will be final

11:03action unless appealed. As a reminder, there is a memo that accompanies this

11:06item to remove condition 18 and to revise language on page three of the staff report.

11:13Applicant, name is for the record. Good evening, Madam Chair.

11:16Commissioner Michael Tassie, 8915 representing the applicant. Thank you for staff's recommendation

11:22and for working with us on the conditions of approval which we agree with and I'm happy to

11:25answer any questions. All right. Go ahead and open the public hearing. Is there anyone in the

11:30audience who wishes to speak? Seeing no one, we'll go ahead and close the public hearing.

11:36Commissioners? I move to approve for final approval CUP 2026019258 and DRA 2026019396

11:49subject to finding of facts and conditions. We have a motion on the floor from Commissioner

11:56Newsom. Please vote. Not motion passes. Good luck. Thank you very much.

12:03Item 10 is for St. Rose and Bowes. This is a two-part request. Part A is a waiver request

12:09from Development Code Standards 2. A, reduce the separation between buildings with five or more

12:15units from 20 feet to 14 feet. B, reduce the street width from 47 feet to 24 feet. C, reduce

12:22the required guest parking from 66 spaces to 60 spaces and D, reduce the front setback from 10

12:29feet to 4 feet. Interior side setback from 10 feet to 0 feet. The corner side setback from 5 feet

12:35to 2 feet. The rear yard setback from 15 feet to 4 feet and the garage setback from 20 feet to 4

12:41feet. Part B is a tentative map for a 66-lot single family attached residential subdivision

12:46on approximately 5.8 acres located on the northwest corner of Rancho Destino Road and

12:51Bowes Avenue in the West Henderson planning area. Staff recommends approval of this request as the

12:56proposed waivers are necessary to accommodate residential development on an irregularly shaped

13:01parcel. This applicant is providing sufficient compensating benefits including increased open

13:06space, enhanced recreational amenities, three ADA accessible guest parking spaces and direct

13:12connections to Bowes Avenue bike lane and trail, improving mobility and connectivity within the

13:17community. Staff has not received any letters in support or opposition. This will be final action

13:21unless appealed. All right, applicant Naaman's for the record. Thank you, Madam Chair, Commissor

13:27Tom Amick, 1980 Festival Plaza on behalf of Beazer for this one. So that's our site there,

13:33that triangular shaped lot at St. Rose and Bowes which is basically north and east of

13:40the Embersort. So 66 townhome units, usually when you get a townhome project on a smaller

13:49irregular shaped piece like that you do have to work with staff on the waiver application. So

13:55we did a lot of work with them compensating benefits, additional parking, enhanced on the

14:01parks, on the open space area. So we appreciate them working for us to get to a project that

14:08works for everyone. This is what it looks like so I can answer any questions if you have them.

14:16That's it, thanks. Thank you. I'll open the public hearing. Is there anyone in the audience who wishes

14:21to speak on this? Seeing no one, we'll go ahead and close the public hearing. Commissioners?

14:31I will make a motion to for final approval of WOS 202601-9134 and TMA 202601-9133 subject

14:46to findings of facts, conditions and waivers. There's a motion on the floor from Commissioner

14:52Beeson please vote and that motion passes. Congratulations. Thank you. Item 11 is for St.

15:04Rose hospitality partners. This is a two-part request. Part A is a conditional use permit for

15:09a hotel use. Part B is a design review for architecture and site design for a 96-room

15:14hotel development on approximately two acres located at 3035 St. Rose Parkway in the Westgate

15:19planning area. Staff recommends approval of this request as the proposed four-story hotel is

15:24compatible with the surrounding commercial development and will occupy a final vacant parcel

15:28within the seven hills commercial center subdivision. This development complies with

15:33all applicable development code standards. The applicant is also providing parking, landscaping

15:39and open space in excess of the code requirements. Staff has not received any letters in opposition

15:44or support. This will be final action unless appealed. All right, applicant name and zip

15:49code for their record. Sure. Tony Nelson, 89052. Have you reviewed staff's recommendations?

15:57We have. We're grateful for their work and approve or accept them. Thank you. I'll go

16:03ahead and open the public hearing. Is there anyone who wishes to speak on this? Not very many people

16:09out there to start with, I think. Go ahead and close the public hearing. Commissioners.

16:16There's no further questions from anybody. I'd like to make a motion to approve CUP2026019266

16:28subject to privacy fact. There is a motion on the floor from Commissioner Germanoski. Please

16:34vote. Excuse me. Did we do the second part as well? The DRA? Oh, yeah. Would you mind,

16:46I think we cover the CUP and just add the DRA part. I don't have it on here.

16:51Oh, sorry. Okay. Oh, no, we were on it. Okay. In addition to CUP2026019266, you need to add DRA2026019267

17:10subject to findings of facts and conditions. All right. There's a motion on the floor from

17:16Commissioner Germanoski. And that motion passes. Good luck. Item 12 is for the 2027 planning

17:27commission meeting schedule. Planning commission shall set and accept planning commission meeting

17:31schedule for the year of 2027 in accordance with Article 3 Section 1 of the bylaws. Chair,

17:36I will now return the item over to you and the Commissioner members for consideration.

17:40I guess does everyone have a chance to review the proposed schedule for next year's hearings?

17:54Maybe we should double down. I think there is a kind of a different change. I think there's

17:58the one around Veterans Day I think is going to be on a Wednesday to accommodate.

18:08We wanted to give you, you know, the opportunity to spend it with your family instead of us.

18:16Not me. I want to be with you. I think we're a little bit more important. You see those people

18:20all the time. All right. Do I need a motion on this? Sorry, we do technically have to take

18:28public comment on this one as well. Let me go ahead and open the public hearing. Is there anyone

18:32in the audience who has a comment on the potential planning commissions? Seeing no one will go ahead

18:40and close the public hearing. So I guess I'll take a motion on that. I would be honored to make a

18:48motion that we accept this planning commission meeting date schedule. Thank you, Commissioner

18:53Brunson. There's a motion on the floor to accept this schedule. Please vote. And that motion

19:05passes. So that leads us to our public comment. Items discussed under public comment cannot be

19:14acted upon at this meeting. Is there anyone here wishing to address the commission? There still

19:20really aren't very many people out there. So I'm going to go ahead and close the public comment.

19:24Are there staff or commissioner comments? Staff? Staff? Yeah, they're excited for the

19:37planning conference next week. I encourage everyone to listen to their episode on the

19:42city podcast. So great voices. Very soothing. Soothing in a good way. Excellent. Anyone else

19:52have any comments? Good basis for the four part series. Jared is going to start. So thank you,

20:00guys. Thank you as always to our security, to our AV team. Thank you to our clerks and everyone who

20:07makes the meeting happen. We appreciate all your hard work. I'll go ahead and adjourn the meeting.

20:12And thank you.

20:14>> Good timing, Jim.
