Anne Road Alpine Ridge subdivision

At a glance

Based on auto-generated captions; names and details may be misheard.

  • What: Rezoning from residence estates to single-family restricted for about 20 acres on the north side of Anne Road east of the 215 (item 16), plus variances and a tentative map for a subdivision cut from 56 to 52 lots (item 17).
  • Where it stands: Both approved with many amended conditions despite staff recommending denial; Commissioner Rogan abstained.
  • Next: City Council on November 4, 2026.

Why staff opposed

  • The land was annexed in 2015 as residence estates; a 2018 rezoning covered only part, but the city's mapping showed all of it as the lower-density restricted district. That error forced the rezoning application.
  • The site is in planning area A2 of the Northwest interlocal agreement with Clark County, which sets an 18,000 sq ft minimum lot size. Staff could not support smaller lots or the setback and street variances.

Changes since the September 8 hearing

  • Michelle Crest is now dedicated and fully improved with curb, gutter and sidewalk rather than closed; Lancha Avenue also to get full off-site improvements.
  • Lots cut from 56 to 52; the wall-height variance (59) withdrawn; variances 55 to 58 struck at housekeeping.
  • Lots 1 to 6, 12, 13 to 19, 40 and 46 to 52 limited to one story; enhanced perimeter shade trees.
  • Street lights deferred, but underground infrastructure is required and the developer must contribute 100% of the city's bond estimate for deferred improvements (Vice Chair Schlottman's condition for support).

Opposition

  • Neighbors and the Northwest Rural Preservation Association want half-acre lots and strict adherence to the interlocal agreement, argue a mapping error should not mean higher density, and object to traffic on Michelle Crest.
  • The chair said she supports reopening Michelle Crest and the off-site improvements and considers the density compatible with the 2050 master plan near Anne Road and the 215.
