Question whether this is still appropriate. Do Planned Communities rezone or change their land uses after the final development agreement is approved?
replies
in reply to AS's comment
There are big catalyst sites in the OSTP in West Henderson and other places. Map should reflect those projects.
Question to add an Open Space land use designation, even if there isn't a zoning district. Some people liked the idea of a specific Open Space land use because the PS land use implies development. There's not a land use that prioritizes preservation of open space.
replies
Should double check if we still use any of the Downtown zoning districts. Opps for redevelopment?
replies
in reply to AS's comment
CH is not used anymore.
replies
in reply to AWR's comment
Need to differentiate these or merge them. Need to revisit the primary and secondary uses. Should also define what is a primary vs secondary use -- use a threshold?
replies
The goal is to discourage warehousing. Need to look at the description and geographically where this land use is designated.
replies
Take out MC and add MN instead.
replies
Question: Whether we should merge Neighborhood Types into the other land use categories or transition the other residential categories to fit within the NT categories? NT is only found in West Henderson, intending to provide more flexibility and mixed use. Is there still the desire to incorporate small commercial (neighborhood-serving) within neighborhoods. Need to look across the city to see if there is common ground between NT categories and other residential categories.
replies
Be consistent in townhomes/townhouses
replies
If we add RM-16, we should include those housing products here.
replies
Universal comment to look closely at the primary and secondary uses. How can use this as development proposals come in?
replies
Note: Zoning Districts are all maximums.
replies
in reply to Shelly Labay's comment
Yes, we can look at places for HDR is appropriate.
replies
Suggested Revision
TOD land use is not compatible with IL zoning at this location (APN 17813313024).
replies
Comment
we should explore doing a LVBS specific plan.
replies
Comment
we should remove all the MUD zones from this LU.
replies
Suggested Revision
Ensure alignment of the PS land use areas with recent OSTP update that identified catalyst sites, especially for the areas of West Henderson and Eldorado Valley.
replies
Question
Curious if the NT designations should be updated to match the other LU designations.
replies
Comment
Density range should be higher per the typo note. Having said that, do we keep RS-8 under NT3 when the Code describes RS-8 as low-density residential? Seems NT3 should be medium-high density residential.
replies
Comment
Suggest a transitional land use adjacent to the industrial master plan if less intense land uses are envisioned to the west.
replies
Question
With the increasing amount of heavy truck traffic to this part of West Henderson, is there a way to designate/require certain roads for these truck heavy trucks only? There is arguably a safety issue in sharing roads with regular vehicles in town, and also the weight of these freight trucks typically damages standard roadways with more frequent use.
replies
Suggested Revision
Work with Parks and Property Management to identify property that would likely be preserved, and change the designation to PS. There seems to be a large amount of VLDR land could fall into this category.
replies
Suggested Revision
Clarification is needed for areas within PS - consider adding recommendations from OSTP in to Henderson Strong update.
replies
Suggested Revision
MN may not be appropriate here, should really be MR, based on density.
replies
Suggested Revision
NT3 should have MN included as a zoning category.
replies
Suggested Revision
It appears with recent development projects - this land use category has seen a proliferation of warehousing and distribution centers, which is not the intent of this LU category. Consider finding ways to mitigate this issue by either removing zoning categories or revising the description.
replies
Suggested Revision
Consider removing this land use category to match Jared's comment on CH above.
replies
Suggested Revision
Consider adding open space protections to areas we know should be protected in the Eldorado Valley area.
replies
Suggested Revision
Will need to update LU in the University Area based on the study that was recently approved.
replies
Suggested Revision
I don't think the small patch of UC makes sense here any longer. Would recommend switching to a LU category that allows for a blend of uses.
replies
Is IG appropriate here?
replies
Comment
In light of AWR's comment in NT1, NT2 is also very similar to LDR bar DH and RS-1.
replies
Suggested Revision
Look at ways to increase this category in areas that make sense to make it easier for hdr to come in by right as opposed to public hearing (land use/zone change) to increase means for affordable and attainable housing.
replies
Comment
Correction to the comment about DH. That comment should refer to CH instead, which is no longer allowed in Title 19.
replies
Suggested Revision
We may need to remove DH as a conforming zoning district from all the PLU categories since we no longer allow zone changes to it.
replies
in reply to AWR's comment
oops see it below.
replies
Suggested Revision
May be worth the effort to clean up this odd double LU in this area of the Falls @ LLV
replies
Suggested Revision
Consider changing LU of HAAS Phase 3 to something more suitable adjacent to residential.
replies
in reply to AWR's comment
i found NC land use below. oops.
replies
Comment
Intrigued by adding CN here (and moving NC as a LU category). like to hear what the staff thinks....
replies
Comment
Need to discuss removing NC more.
replies
Comment
we should limit industrial to the two lowest impactful ones.
replies
Comment
looks like cut and paste typo here.
replies
Suggested Revision
this language on NC is tricky. If we are going to allow CN zoning we should just allow it.
replies
Suggested Revision
Is there really any NT1? May be worth removing and just using LDR
replies
Suggested Revision
PS zoning should be permitted in all LU categories.
replies
Suggested Revision
Need to find a way to separate these industrial districts. May be more of a zoning issue and not LU
replies
Suggested Revision
Add RM 16 to HDR, too.
replies
Suggested Revision
there is a two parcel site owned by Odyssey that doesn't make sense for NT land use now and should consider NC or COM (may be too small for COM)
replies
Suggested Revision
LU along Via Nobila should now support the HAAS and MOSAIC projects that will bring heavy truck traffic to this area.
