Clark County Land Use Hearings · Apr 23, 2026 · 32:54–35:11 · Watch on CVTV ↗

The hearing centered on the proposed Taylor Reserve subdivision, which seeks to divide approximately four acres into 35 single-family lots utilizing compact lot development standards. A major point of dispute was whether a recent boundary line adjustment disqualified the parcel from these higher-density provisions, prompting county staff to recommend denial while the applicant's legal counsel argued the site remained eligible. Additionally, the discussion addressed infrastructure and neighborhood concerns, specifically focusing on a required public stub road for cross-circulation, on-street parking capacity, and traffic impacts on local roads.

What was said

31:54 I saw there was SGA also on there. So I, I didn't, yeah, sorry. Well, we've got Jason Mattis and Scott Taylor, both here with SGA engineering this evening representing the applicant. Um, and then also Mr. Housley. So I'd like to first start off as sort of a little quick overview of how we got to the plan we have tonight, and then also answer your questions, uh, Mr. Turner. So as it's been alluded to and discussed and sort of shown throughout the plans and all the exhibits, this project started out with a private loop road and a gated community concept, uh, throughout working with staff and working through code requirements, cross circulation requirements, and, you know, intersection alignment requirements. We now have a public loop road and a public stub road to the Eastern boundary to meet the cross circulation requirements.

32:50 The gate was removed and one of the lots was also removed. So what was a 36 lot subdivision is now 35 that I believe may say 36 in a couple of spots, maybe in the concurrency staff report. Um, but it is 35 currently exhibit 46 is the one on the screen currently, and is the current plan. Okay. Um, we, you know, worked through a boundary line adjustment with the neighbors to, um, resolve an agreement that they had previously set in place for retention of, uh, a number of mature bird trees and other native trees. There's a couple of dogwoods and maples in there. And so those are shown on this plan as well. Um, to answer your questions, I'd like to go down those in order. And then also if there's any other questions, I'm glad to answer those and help answer questions with the public this evening.

33:50 So number one, the gross site area, 4.06 acres post boundary line adjustment. It is 3.6 acres. I want to get back to our same page here. We were on page six. So the third number here saying post boundary line adjustment with 3.6 net acres is incorrect. That I believe there's, yeah, I believe they were saying, um, I don't honestly know exactly how that was supposed to be worded, but that's an extra number that should not be in there when you remove right of way sensitive lands, you know, areas for access and, um, road dedication, you have a net site area of 2.23. So that's correct. 2.23. Correct. Thank you. And you know, compact lot developments are allowed the 200% density. And so that, you know, doubles the allowed maximum density.

34:50 And when you do that math, you end up at 35.23, um, units max. And so 35 lot subdivision meets that code. Now the question was posed before the BLA, what was the net site area? So at time of our pre-application conference, we submitted a very similar plan and loop road, and the net acreage was 2.98 acres. So we met the less than three acre requirement at the time of the pre-app. The boundary line adjustment was not completed to circumnavigate any code or make things smaller to get into this compact lot code allowance. We met that allowance without the boundary line adjustment. Um, number two question, the front of the lots, you know, we agree that the shared driveways and access easements should function as the

35:48 front of the lots for these homes. That's where the garages will be. That's where the front porches will be. And that's clearly the intent. I just wasn't sure if it said use that word street. And so we agree with staff, you know, the front of the lots should be those shared driveways and shared access easements. Uh, question three on page 10, uh, exhibit 46. Yes is the current plan and the correct exhibit number.
