Summary
The commission approved a 2‑story, 114,995 sq. ft. elementary school on Schaumburg Road with a required right‑turn lane dedication and multiple conditions; construction is planned to complete in mid‑2027.
The Planning Commission voted to approve a site development plan for a new two‑story elementary school proposed by the Clark County School District on the west side of Schaumburg Road, south of Sky Canyon Park Drive.
Staff described the project as a 114,995‑square‑foot primary school with 63 classrooms and parent‑drop‑off and bus circulation designed to separate bus loading from parent traffic. Architect John Lopeman said the site will include multiple shade structures and a playground area that is “partially hard court and partially ... artificial turf,” and staff and the applicant agreed to a required right‑turn lane dedication on Schaumburg Road to be constructed concurrently with off‑site improvements.
The district expects to begin grading soon; the project schedule presented at the hearing targets completion in June 2027, with enrollment and move‑in phased afterward.
Commissioners praised the design and staff’s outreach and voted to approve the site development review and associated master sign plan, subject to amended language clarifying the right‑turn lane and standard conditions.
