A proposed 35-lot single-family subdivision known as Taylor Reserve faced scrutiny over whether a recent boundary line adjustment disqualified the property from utilizing compact lot density standards. County staff recommended denying the application based on these lot creation rules, while the applicant's legal counsel argued that state law preserves the parcel's legal standing for the requested density.

Um, next you would have the County code, um, and it contains what is called the legal lot determination process as defined by 4510 010. Uh, I know the examiner is very familiar with, with this process as, as am I, uh, I did believe Mr. Taylor did send an email that Mr. Davio had referenced, uh, to the County earlier today, which is a snippet from the County's website that explains this, uh, process in detail.

And, and all of these have different days, and there's different criteria that, you know, the examiner is very familiar with. Um, and I'll return back to this specific lot here in question in a bit under this code. Um, next in the County code, uh, we have the County code related to boundary line adjustments, and this is under Clark County code 4540-010.
