- What: Clark County request for a major amendment to an approved site plan at the southeast corner of Brooks Avenue and Tory Pines Drive: a 35,729 sq ft outdoor recreation area (artificial-turf field and walking path) and parking changes at a county government facility.
- Where it stands: Approved with staff conditions plus two added conditions; Commissioner Rogan abstained.
- Next: Final action unless appealed to the city clerk within 10 days.
Background
- First heard in September and held a month so the county could meet neighbors and Commissioner Walters.
- The field is for the on-site center's youth programs (center open about 3 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.), not a public park. The site has 24-hour security because of an adjacent police substation.
Neighbor concerns and responses
- Lighting: two sports-field light locations and path lights (maximum 18 ft), shielded, switched manually and used only during programmed times. The county surveyed one neighbor's backyard from existing parking-lot lighting and is adding shields. Rogan suggested dimming path lights and a better color temperature.
- Heat from artificial turf: county said a cooling turf material will be used.
- Fence: steel tube and wrought iron were used interchangeably on the plans; neighbors wanted a consistent, solid-screened fence of 8 to 10 ft.
- Landscape buffer: updated plan adds trees along the neighbors' side.
- One resident questioned how the project meets the 2050 master plan given limited public use.
Added conditions
- Revised landscape plan with 15-gallon trees about every 30 ft along the eastern edge.
- Revised fence elevation with solid screening on the 8-ft fence on the eastern side.
