Applicant Alan Harvey told the commission the request is for a modest 16-inch outward shift of an 85-foot segment of wall so he can address privacy concerns, deterring loitering and preventing dogs from wandering into his yard. Opponents — including Harbor Cove Homeowners Association counsel David Bray and a group of residents who submitted more than 50 written objections — urged the commission to deny the variance, saying it violates subdivision design standards and HOA rules and will create a continuous high wall along the sidewalk.

Commissioners heard arguments that the request raised legal issues under Nevada variance law (referencing Enterprise Citizens Action Committee v. Clark County case law cited by counsel in public comment). The applicant said he had neighbor support documents and maintained the wall would not be higher than adjacent walls and would match neighborhood context. After deliberation, the commission approved the variance subject to staff conditions. The approval is final action and may be appealed to the City Clerk within 10 days.

Ending: The commission recorded the approval and staff will process the associated permits; neighbors were advised of the appeal period.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","CLV 04-08-2025 Planning Commission Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The commission granted a variance allowing an 85-foot frontage wall closer to the sidewalk than Title 19 normally permits.

City public works staff and project managers said the center is intended to complement existing workforce training in the area, including a nearby CSN (College of Southern Nevada) campus and a larger Westside Education and Training Center under construction. Rosa Cortez and Sam Dolman presented the site plan, elevations and a proposed curriculum linkage with CSN and community partners. Speakers representing CSN, local churches and neighborhood business owners spoke in favor at the public hearing, citing job-training needs and the potential to connect residents to careers.

Commissioners praised the project as an important workforce investment in Ward 5 and approved the site plan review. The approval was final action at the Planning Commission; it may be appealed to the City Clerk within 10 days.

Rosa Cortez, City Engineer and deputy director of public works, and Liz Duncan, architectural project manager, presented the plan and said the new station replaces an existing station at Jones and Upland.

The commission approved the plan per staff conditions. Commissioners recorded no public opposition at the hearing and asked no substantive modifications. The approval was moved to City Council for final action on May 21. The city will return to Council with the staff recommendation, project exhibits and any required permitting steps.

What to watch next: Multiple items were scheduled to appear before City Council on May 21 for final action. A number of variances and site-development approvals are eligible for appeal to the City Clerk during the posted appeal period.","At its regular meeting, the Las Vegas Planning Commission approved a wide set of land-use actions, including site development reviews, special-use permits and rezones.
