The proposed commercial building

2 will contain a dental office, a fast food restaurant with drive through facilities and a leasable tenant space. The proposed building will be located directly west of the existing Raising Cane s restaurant. The subject site is part of an overall larger PUD, Planned Unit Development that consists of single-family, multi-family, and commercial. The boundaries of the PUD extend from Craig Road to Lone Mountain Road, and from Donna Street to Lawrence Street. The PUD was originally approved by the City Council on May 16, 1990, via Resolution of Intent 1518, and the Resolution of Intent was extended approximately three times. The subject site and surrounding area was later permanently rezoned to the PUD, Planned Unit Development District by the City Council on August 6, 1997, by Ordinance While Ordinance 1226 does not contain any conditions of approval, the Resolution of Intent (1518) stated that the precise use and development of the two commercial sites adjacent to Craig Road shall be determined as part of the final development plan process. Reviewing preliminary development plans submitted with the original request for zoning, it appears the original intent was to use either the C-2, General Commercial or C-3, General Service Commercial District uses and standards as general guidelines for the commercial sites next to Craig Road. As the C-3 District is now considered an obsolete district, the C-2 District uses and standards, in general appear to be the most appropriate district to use as a guide in the development of the commercial sites. This would also be consistent with the current land use designation of Community Commercial. According to the site plan, the proposed building is setback 109 feet from the back of sidewalk (property line) next to Craig Road. This is a similar setback that is used by the Raising Cane s and continues the line of development. A new access road is proposed next to the north of the development and will link the commercial pads sites with the hotel located on Bruce Street to the north of the commercial site. Approximately 51 parking spaces are provided for the building where approximately 44 parking spaces are required. Access to the site is from an existing curb cut located on Craig Road, the driveway is shared with the Raising Cane s and is located in the center of the proposed site. Additionally, access to the site is provided through the parking lot to Lawrence Street. Landscaping is proposed next to Craig Road, the new access road, within the parking lot, and surrounding the building. A portion of the lacing area also contains a patio area for potential dining for the restaurant. The building elevations show the exterior building materials to consist of predominately stucco painted in three (3) different colors. Brick wainscoting is proposed along the pillars as an accent. Canopies are constructed of perforated metal. The roof is a flat roof with a parapet. The proposed height is 26 feet to the top of the parapet. Colors are not proposed or provided with this application.

3 DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: Public Works Department: Fire Department: Police Department: Please see the attached memorandum. Please see attached memorandum. The North Las Vegas Police Department has no issues with this application and recommends approval. ANALYSIS: The subject site has been designated as commercial since the original creation of the PUD, Planning Unit Development District in While specific uses were never mentioned in the conditions of approval, the proposed commercial building and fast food restaurant are appropriate as it is located on Craig Road, a major arterial. All the proposed uses are permitted uses within the C-2, General Commercial District and are appropriate for this location. In general, the building meets the Commercial Design Standards, the building is stucco exterior with metal and brick accents. The colors are not shown but will be reviewed as part of the building permit. The applicant has submitted a preliminary landscaping plan for the subject site. In general, the plan meets the landscaping requirements. Trees and shrubs are provided adjacent to Craig Road and within the parking lot. Foundation landscaping is also provided nest to the building and adjacent to the trash enclosure within the parking lot. Normally, perimeter sidewalks are required to be centered within the perimeter landscaping. However, as the sidewalk already exists along Craig Road, staff has no objections to the sidewalk remaining in its current place.

That, unless expressly authorized through a variance, waiver or another approved method, this development shall comply with all applicable codes and ordinances. Public Works:
