The Clark County Planning Commission on July 15 approved four companion items to redevelop a 21‑acre portion of the existing Summerlin South golf course in Village 18 for two new single‑family subdivisions and a new clubhouse. The action included vacating easements, approving use permits and two tentative maps and allows the golf course to be converted from public to private use in the redevelopment area.

Levothy Ohini, attorney for the applicant, described the project as a redevelopment of about 21 acres of the existing golf course, with the northern subdivision consisting of nine large lots and the southern subdivision consisting of six lots. Access was described as only from Flamingo Road; the existing Ridges access point will remain restricted for employee use. The applicant also withdrew a requested 0‑lot line special use permit (use permit 1c on item 11) without prejudice during the hearing.

Staff recommended approval of the application, noting the project includes private streets, large lot sizes (several up to roughly 24,000 square feet) and a clubhouse sited within the golf course area. The application requested several modifications and waivers related to residential development standards and garage setbacks. The applicant said the design will include side‑loaded and clipped garages on a small number of lots and that the clubhouse elevation was increased to match a more contemporary design.

No members of the public registered to speak at the hearing on the item. Commissioners asked questions about setback reductions and the 0‑lot line request; the applicant said the 0‑lot request would be redrawn or withdrawn, and staff confirmed the requested minor flexibilities would reduce the need for return applications during construction. Commissioner Mejica moved approval of items 10–13 with the applicant’s withdrawal of use permit 1c without prejudice; the motion passed.

The approvals allow the applicant to proceed with the mapping and permitting processes required by Title 29 standards for Summerlin, including any required technical reviews during building and subdivision permitting. The commission’s decision is final unless appealed in writing under Title 30; appeals must be filed with the Comprehensive Planning Department by 5 p.m. on the date specified in the staff notices.

The items approved were the vacation of easements (Item 10), use permits/modifications and design review (Item 11), and the two tentative maps (Items 12 and 13). Conditions of approval are those listed in the staff report, and the applicant will be required to comply with all development standards and permit conditions during construction and final map recordation.
