The Enterprise Town Advisory Board recommended approval of a package of land‑use items from Richmond American Homes that would convert roughly 19 acres south of Blue Diamond Road into a single‑family subdivision with a stepped transition to adjacent rural preservation (RNP) lots.
Stephanie Groenauer, representing Richmond American, described several plan revisions made after neighborhood meetings. The developer reduced overall lot count through multiple iterations, added 10,000‑square‑foot lots as a transition adjacent to the RNP area and relocated building entrances away from frontage roads. Groenauer said updated traffic analysis from Kinley Horn showed the residential plan would generate roughly 1,000 daily trips, compared with an earlier approved commercial scheme that the traffic study estimated at about 9,500 daily trips.
Neighbors raised traffic, density and character concerns during public comment. “The density is too high for our local roads even with the left turn lane,” said a resident. Board members pressed the applicant on drainage, throat‑depth waivers, and the request to limit street lights on Maranto; the applicant said staff did not support the no‑lights waiver and offered modifications to address safety and aesthetics.
After discussion the board approved the plan amendment and zone change; the zone change vote recorded a 3–1 decision. The board also approved the waiver/design review and tentative map, but added a condition drafted by the board and planning staff: all lots south of Street I along Montessori shall be a minimum of 10,000 square feet and must meet the county’s residential adjacency standards. The applicant agreed to the condition and to continue coordination on curb returns and throat depth with public works.
Why it matters: the project converts a mix of former commercial and high‑intensity plan parcels into a residential neighborhood while explicitly preserving a contiguous RNP area. The board’s condition attempts to preserve the character and privacy of existing large‑lot RNP homes.
What’s next: the advisory board’s recommendation and the added condition will be forwarded to Clark County for final approvals and for engineering/permitting reviews.
