Dapper said the tower, installed about 30 years ago under an original lease with AT&T and later managed by Crown Castle, sits roughly 12 feet from the back of the theater and was erected without the environmental assessment required for properties on the National Register of Historic Places. “I would love to say that we’re under construction, but we’re not yet,” Dapper said. He told commissioners he has filed a lawsuit to press the tower managers to relocate the facility and that settlement talks are ongoing.

The theater’s renovation team has paused final plan submittal because the tower’s current siting conflicts with a new lobby and circulation route that connect two planned “black box” theaters behind the historic auditorium. Gensler, the project’s architect, has reached about 90% completion on core-and-shell plans, Dapper said, but cannot finish or submit those plans until the tower issue is resolved.

Dapper said Crown Castle recently produced an environmental assessment that postdates construction by about 12 years, which he said indicates the tower was erected without the earlier required review. He described a proposed settlement that would grant the carrier use of a parcel at the rear of the site for many decades as “not exactly what we need,” and said the carrier has proposed terms that amount to a de facto long-term land grant. Dapper said the current carrier lease expires in early 2029, meaning the tower could be removed at that time if no agreement is reached.

Asked by Acting Chair Jack Levine whether federal officials could help speed negotiations, Dapper said he had reached out to U.S. Rep. Dina Titus’s office and other stakeholders and hoped public attention would encourage a faster resolution. “Crown Castle has no office in Vegas. They don’t know what the Huntridge Theatre is,” he said, adding that the company has been slow to cooperate.

Dapper described a temporary technical solution under discussion: a “cell on wheels” (COW) that would allow the carrier to maintain service while a replacement site is constructed at the back corner of the property. He also said the carrier’s settlement structure, as proposed, would require further negotiation because it would grant long-term rights on a portion of the property.

On programming and financing, Dapper said several nonprofit theater groups have expressed interest in co-locating at the Huntridge as part of a Broadway Stage Collective led by Dr. Keith Bowman, who helped raise funds for the Smith Center. That collaboration prompted a change in one planned performance space from a cabaret to a second black box to accommodate multiple companies. Dapper said the team expects to submit revised plans if the tower is moved and, with expedited permitting, to begin construction in the first quarter of 2026 and finish approximately one year after breaking ground.

Dapper invited commissioners to tour the site and said the team maintains a detailed public website with historic photos and project materials. He also offered to add an update on the Mission Linen project at a future meeting.

Discussion among commissioners touched on next steps and public engagement. Commissioner Perdue asked about scheduling a tour; Dapper said tours are available and urged commissioners to contact staff to arrange visits that avoid creating a quorum. Commissioner Cosgrove asked whether the applicant could assemble a bound record of project reports and images; Dapper said most records are already submitted to the city but that he could provide additional materials. Several commissioners supported focusing on exterior preservation details, accelerating the design review once the tower issue is resolved, and hosting educational outreach for neighbors and potential funders.

No formal action or vote was taken by the commission on the Huntridge presentation during the meeting; Dapper’s report was received for the record.

Staff reported that the Cliff May Home survey remains under review and should be complete by the first week of April. The Old Mormon Fort nomination will be considered at the state review board’s June 5 meeting. The West High School National Register nomination was submitted to the Keeper of the National Register and staff cautioned that the Keeper’s review typically takes at least 45 days.

The Floyd Lamb Park historical report is in progress. Staff also reported that Huntridge neighborhood signs have been completed and installed, and that a plaque ceremony for a Huntridge house at 1433 Cottonwood Place was held with Councilwoman LaVilla Diaz and Chairman Stottle in attendance.

Staff reminded commissioners of several calendar items: HPC awards voting is due by April 16; the Pass Forward 2025 conference will be Sept. in Milwaukee and the commission must provide names to staff by May 8 to request funding; because the regular April meeting room is unavailable, the commission’s April meeting is moved to April 30 at noon.

No formal action was taken on the project-update list; staff accepted questions and noted next steps for each item.","Community development staff reported project-status updates to the Las Vegas Historic Preservation Commission, including scheduling for the Old Mormon Fort and West High School nominations and progress on the Floyd Lamb Park report.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6106996,"Commission discusses conservation districts, favors a street-view guidebook and neighborhood-specific approach",521,2090000,2611000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2779134-fcb1011951edc923a6738b66fda553a0&start=2090&end=2611","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2779134-fcb1011951edc923a6738b66fda553a0/thumbnail_2090000.jpg","/articles/6106996/Las-Vegas/Clark-County/Nevada/Commission-discusses-conservation-districts-favors-a-street-view-guidebook-and-neighborhood-specific-approach","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6106996-eef092c4cc98212ab6ed1a730afe7e30/orig.mp4?Expires=1770976761&Signature=KwlZVd2EzxkV2rfroPMINOdiUvKJSHWMBSwrHFIV0CKj4TrojQl6elYe1YLWIOE5LDsdsGApKGfJxrMH0vDmaWdKoxZa3HeTiUpLxBWhqvPwiccWFUbJoy9CAAe88d8OnUhzLF1TC4FUmjHNWQgVGZqDJZ-x0kSKK66Sl8O0FZJAQhCDOIJeSro4WczgOAXYSl9ju56I98R2lmyysqma1cq6Iw4iw7NX6UKC4ccWO8fPO-oxTpUdhl9oW2DjCWor4-DHRoa-CDowdySkEy33udKBesCxw-XNYnujfze6-beDWiFcCTJkAwMLeomDUUf2om3BqdOhfv8ur4O8M9ZEyg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Las Vegas Historic Preservation Commission continued a conversation on conservation districts and design guidebooks at its April 1 meeting, with several commissioners supporting a neighborhood-specific, exterior-focused guide rather than an expensive citywide pattern book.

Vice Chair Michelle Laramie said the commission needed to choose whether to pursue formal conservation-district designation or a more informal approach that builds on existing West Side design guidelines. \"I would just be… curious what the other commissioners' thoughts are after they've had some time to review on maybe what direction they might prefer,\" Laramie said.

Commissioners generally favored producing a guidebook focused on street-facing elements—roofs, porches, windows and other visible features—rather than detailed interior recommendations. Commissioner Jack Levine suggested concentrating on what is seen from the street would make a guidebook easier to produce and more broadly useful. Commissioner Cosgrove proposed incentives that could encourage homeowners to use a guidebook, particularly if guidance can be aligned with common energy-efficiency upgrades.

Michael Howe, a community development staff member, told the commission that existing design materials (including examples from Denver) emphasize aesthetics rather than performance. \"A lot of efficient windows tend to be either fiberglass or vinyl and double or triple paned,\" Howe said, and the commission may need specific language on preservation-compatible options if efficient products are proposed.

Commissioners recommended an initial practical step: compile a tentative list of potential neighborhoods or districts that warrant further survey work, using existing surveys where available. Staff confirmed that historic designation requires support from 51% of homeowners in a proposed area for an official designation; commissioners discussed whether to use developer-built subdivisions, existing neighborhood association boundaries or architecturally coherent blocks as starting units for surveys.

Several commissioners urged building an outreach plan and budget alongside the guidebook so materials can be distributed and incorporated into community education and realtor outreach. Commissioner Laramie suggested a consultant-led campaign to help with education and public events once a guidebook is complete.

No formal vote was taken; commissioners asked staff to continue research and return with a plan and potential cost estimates for future agendas.","Members of the Las Vegas Historic Preservation Commission discussed next steps for conservation districts and design guidebooks, favoring a pragmatic street-view guide aimed at exterior compatibility and neighborhood-specific materials rather than one-size-fits-all pattern books.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6107000,"Votes at a glance: commission approves meeting minutes and two consultant funding requests",371,325000,696000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2779134-fcb1011951edc923a6738b66fda553a0&start=325&end=696","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2779134-fcb1011951edc923a6738b66fda553a0/thumbnail_325000.jpg","/articles/6107000/Las-Vegas/Clark-County/Nevada/Votes-at-a-glance-commission-approves-meeting-minutes-and-two-consultant-funding-requests","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6107000-5ae8b0da1a038693b68d4bf7722528aa/orig.mp4?Expires=1770976761&Signature=JbH12p~pcsME7TBcVQbI612wKE~GEkWrpeQgkTsNPK~MNlI~u0RpgBiBVxDxHi38oNkKXYfSjdKjiJyUDKXo-qC8lQSFu725PYGDEmNOmEoFsJALIOnNRa--wAXmLR-J~HMqG8CuI7-RGNey3nFprwkMbv2YWQT-NgMkTUGscvaw9~gFKY0fLFSaH9JgUELS2LGGCb1HagWxqV-u7L39~9aKJ1c6A3~ZaWSKCSm3C0CCtUmeAY2bCvcsNBNRXbPHQczcOqu2fveByTWV9DEw5jj7X0wPNSZpSSlUW3UwUShDfgbkMm9pUcmCuE4KlxJUWz59tVBCeAPsPv6YkMFbhQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Las Vegas Historic Preservation Commission on April 1 approved three items during its meeting: the minutes of the Feb. 26, 2025 meeting and two funding requests for additional consultant work on National Register nominations and historical reports.

Commissioner Cosgrove moved to approve the Feb. 26 final minutes. Commissioner Moody stated before the vote that he would abstain because he had not attended the prior meeting; the motion carried.

The commission then voted to approve a $950 payment to Couts Environmental Consultants Inc. to complete final edits to an updated National Register nomination for the Old Mormon Fort at 500 West Washington Avenue (Ward 5). Staff said the extra funding would cover additional hours and research requested at the last meeting; the motion passed.

The commission also approved $9,500 to Couts Environmental Consultants Inc. for additional project research and writing for the historical report of Floyd Lamb Park at Tule Springs, 9200 Tule Springs Road (Ward 6). Staff said the consultant had located additional documents and that the extra work would extend the project timeline by several months; Commissioner Moody moved to approve item 9 and the commission carried the motion. Commissioner Michelle Laramie, who joined the meeting after the vote was taken, later stated she approved that action.

Meeting votes were recorded as “motion carries” in the minutes; specific roll-call tallies were not read into the public record for the two consultant funding items at the time the votes were announced.
