Southern Nevada Water Authority representative Robin Rockey told the commission the project is part of regional \"reliability projects\" intended to strengthen the valley's water delivery network. Rockey said the new connection will require \"a new 30,000,000 gallon per day pumping station at the Rice site,\" co-located on the existing reservoir property. She described the station as a redundancy and reliability improvement; construction is expected to start in May 2027 and finish by May 2030.

Neighbors who live directly adjacent to the site spoke in opposition to rezoning the property from Residence Estates (RE) to Civic. Multiple residents asked that existing chain link and barbed-wire fencing be replaced with decorative walls and landscaping and that any new construction respect existing view corridors. \"To rezone this property is an extreme government overreach to usurp all adjacent property owners' rights,\" one resident said during public comment, reading a prepared statement that urged denial of rezoning. Other neighbors said they do not object to the water authority's operations but do object to a permanent zoning change.

Staff and commissioners responded that the rezoning is a conforming change to match the property's general plan designation as a public facility. Commissioner Rogan noted standards in Title 19 require adjacency and wall/landscape standards; he recommended the applicant work with neighbors to resolve wall and landscaping concerns before the City Council hearing. Planning staff reiterated that Title 19 standards on walls and screening apply and that the site-development plan ultimately defines approved site details.

On a motion by Commissioner Rogan the commission voted to recommend approval of the rezoning (25-0215 ZON1) and site-development plan (25-0215 SDR1). The motion carried; the item will go to City Council Oct. 15 for final action.

Project and procedural details included in the staff presentation: the pump station will be an open-air pumping station with an enclosed operations building and surge control; the proposed facilities are placed at the far east side of the Rice site, away from the Montessori school to the west; the site will remain unmanned except for periodic operator visits; landscaping, security walls and access will be replaced or repaired following construction. Staff recommended approval, citing minimal impacts to surrounding residential and commercial uses and the project's role in improving water supply reliability.","The Planning Commission recommended approval of a rezoning request to allow construction of a new pump station at the Rice Reservoir site. Neighbors who live adjacent to the facility objected to changing the property's zoning from residential estates to civic, citing view and property-value concerns.

The report, presented by Marco Vollada of the Department of Community Development and introduced by Seth Floyd, director of Community Development, details progress on plan actions and identifies areas needing further work such as housing production, water reliability and updated zoning standards. \"We\u0000have done a lot of special area planning,\" Vollada told the commission, citing recent work on Kyle Canyon, La Madre Foothills and Charleston and the new Civic Plaza downtown.

Why it matters: the master plan guides long-term land use and infrastructure decisions across Las Vegas. Commissioners were asked to review the report and provide recommendations that staff can pass to council as it updates the city's strategic plan.

Key findings and actions in the report include: the median price of a single-family home peaked at $485,000 in June 2025; about 4,100 housing units were built in the last year but only 57 were completed as \"affordable\" units; 48 new apartments are under construction and roughly 1,000 units are under planning review. The report notes ongoing infill and redevelopment is expected to be a focus as the city approaches its geographic limits.

The report also highlights water supply risk tied to regional reservoir levels and interstate allocation agreements. Vollada said the city's share of Colorado River water (referred to in the report as about 300,000 acre-feet) could face further cuts under some scenarios and urged planning to account for infrastructure needs to support development.

Staff identified near-term planning work that will be brought back to the commission, including: a transit-oriented development (TOD) overlay and zoning standards to encourage infill housing; a comprehensive parking standards update based on an internal parking study; and an urban forestry management plan to increase tree canopy and address urban heat-island effects.

Commissioners asked for follow-up on several items. Commissioner Rogan requested an update on the status and implementation of form-based code areas and recommended revisiting residential zoning simplification and how density/height bonuses are being used to produce affordable housing. Commissioner Cassano pressed staff to analyze whether multifamily-for-sale (condominiums) opportunities are being missed in favor of rental apartments and to consider strengthening landscaping and parking-lot shading standards to reduce urban heat. Commissioner Walsh asked about telecommunications and natural gas infrastructure; staff said broadband and small-cell access were touched on in the plan but not a major focus, and that the Kern River pipeline remains the primary local gas supply.

The commission approved the report on a motion by Chair Taylor; the vote was recorded as the motion carrying. The report will be on the City Council agenda Oct. 15.

The commission and staff noted the report is one tool among others (the strategic plan update, city dashboards at masterplan.vegas) and asked for additional performance measures and clearer implementation timelines on housing and utilities in future updates.","The City of Las Vegas Planning Commission on Sept. 9 approved its annual implementation report on the Las Vegas 2050 master plan, forwarding the document to City Council with recommendations. The report highlights housing, water supply and infrastructure concerns and outlines zoning and code updates staff plan to pursue.","actionData","errors"]
