Commission approves 31‑lot rezoning near Viking and Euclid despite neighborhood opposition
Summary
The Commission approved a rezoning and tentative map to allow 31 single-family homes on roughly 4.44 acres (RS 3.3) after applicant concessions on setbacks, window coverings and perimeter walls; nearby homeowners and HOA leaders protested traffic, density and notice.
The Clark County Commission voted Oct. 8 to approve a package of applications to rezone about 4.44 acres to RS 3.3 and to permit a 31-lot single-family subdivision near Viking Road and Euclid Street, after the applicant agreed to a set of conditions intended to lessen privacy and traffic concerns voiced by neighbors.
Jennifer Lasovich, representing the developer, said the project was revised after voluntary neighborhood meetings and listed several concessions: increased minimum rear setbacks on selected lots (from the 15-foot code minimum to 22 feet on many lots), window coverings to be installed by the builder on rear-facing and specified side windows before occupancy, prohibition on balconies for certain lots, and new perimeter block walls of at least 6 feet 4 inches where required. "With those conditions included, I'd be happy to answer any questions," Lasovich told the commission.
Multiple residents and HOA leaders urged denial or further changes. Roger Ellison, HOA president, said the neighborhood has large single-story lots and warned that 31 two-story homes and added traffic would harm safety and character: "We need to have some sort of traffic study done because this would add a burden to our street," Ellison said. Christine Beecroft, another HOA president, said notice to homeowners was short and that the Paradise Town Board did not pass the change at an earlier hearing.
Commissioner Segerblum apologized during the meeting for how the prior neighborhood session had been handled and defended the goal of infill housing, describing the homes as starter housing priced roughly in the $450,000–$550,000 range. "What we're trying to do in our neighborhood is bring people back," Segerblum said. He added that the county would work with Public Works on potential traffic mitigations. The motion to approve was made with the conditions read into the record and passed.
Next steps: the applicant must meet the conditions on setbacks, window coverings and wall construction; staff will monitor implementation and any complaints during a one-year public review period for some approvals.
