The Clark County Planning Commission approved a special use permit for a Nevada Youth Sports (NYS) recreational facility at 6370 Pioneer Business Park, with conditions aimed at addressing neighbor concerns about noise, traffic and parking.

Neighbors who live in the Tanayga Highlands area told the commission they experience evening noise, intrusive lighting and truck staging near the back of their properties and urged denial. Whitney Horkey, a nearby resident, said approving the permit “would only intensify these problems” and cited past delays in fixing lighting and apparent advertising for recreational league rentals while the applicant was still operating under a different classification.

The applicant, represented by Nadine Morton, told the commission NYS has provided an acoustical study, hired an acoustical engineer and met with nearby residents. Morton said the company “is incredibly sensitive to the neighbor's concerns” and that their acoustic testing showed decibel levels “well below the criteria that is allowed.” Investigator Patrick Hardy, who reviewed police records for the site, told the commission he found no police nuisance calls tied to the NYS activities at the subject building.

Commissioners pressed staff and the applicant about enforceability and future uses. Staff advised that a use permit for a recreational facility would extend to all suites on the parcel unless the commission specifically limits it; staff also reported the site is “over parked by 28 parking spaces” per their analysis. Commissioner Reitman asked whether a future tenant or expansion could be checked; staff said the use permit runs with the land but the commission can impose a review period and conditions. Commissioners discussed the ability to require the applicant to demonstrate compliance at that review.

The commission approved the permit with conditions read into the record: the permit is limited to the suites included in the application (suites 112 and 113); hours of operation are limited to 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week; parking shall be limited to the west side of the building and the applicant is responsible for policing patrons to keep them in that area; and a one‑year review is required (commissioners also discussed additional three‑ and five‑year reviews). The motion passed and the action was recorded as final unless appealed.

The decision includes monitoring requirements and a pathway for neighbors to seek enforcement at the one‑year review; staff said neighbors within the original notification radius would be re‑notified for any required review hearing. The commission noted that approving a use permit for recreational uses does not automatically preclude other tenants from operating in other buildings on the site unless specific limits are placed on the approval.

The applicant and opponents were advised the decision is final unless appealed to the Board of County Commissioners, and staff noted appeals must be filed in writing to the Comprehensive Planning Department by 5 p.m. on the deadline stated at the meeting.

The commission’s motion and the conditions imposed will be included in the official permit record and are subject to enforcement under Title 30 and the county’s development code.
