Clark County commissioners approved multiple companion items affecting parcels in Moapa Valley and Logandale, granting waivers of off-site improvement requirements and reclassifying land while attaching conditions intended to protect neighbors and future development rights.
A waiver for a parcel map in Moapa Valley (WS25-307) was approved with a requirement that the applicant sign a restrictive covenant before map execution; commissioners also required a drainage study if future development is proposed. Commissioner Kirkpatrick said the waiver was acceptable if the covenant is recorded and the drainage study is required on any future development.
Companion items to rezone about 3.92 acres to Industrial Light (ZC25-0375) and to allow a mini-warehouse facility with outdoor storage on the same parcel received approval with a required drainage study and a five-year review of off-site improvements. A nearby resident, Justice Schraft, expressed concern that floodwater from existing drainage patterns would flow toward his house and asked the board to require a flood study prior to approval; commissioners responded that a drainage study will be required.
Applicant representatives said the mini-storage project is similar to existing storage facilities in the area and agreed to buffer and fencing that meet county standards. The record shows the owner agreed to police stored vehicles and not to allow the site to become a junkyard.
Commissioners repeatedly emphasized the county preference to avoid building roads unless necessary; where off-site waivers are granted, a restrictive covenant or staged review is required so future developers must comply if and when development occurs.
Next steps include recordation of the restrictive covenant for the parcel-map waiver prior to map execution and submission of drainage study material if any parcel is developed, plus scheduled reviews to confirm off-site improvements are installed as required.
