Recommending committee backs Cashman development agreement, forwards to City Council

The Las Vegas recommending committee on Feb. 2 recommended approval of Bill 2026-2, the development agreement for the property formerly known as Cashman, and forwarded the item to City Council for final action on Feb. 4, 2026.

The item, sponsored by Councilwoman Chandra Summers Armstrong, was presented by applicant representative Stephanie Gronower of Lennar Homes and reviewed by city staff. Christian Gates, a planner, told the committee that "the development agreement meets all statutory requirements of NRS 278.0201 and will help facilitate 781 to 1,221 units of housing on 50.54 acres within the downtown area." Gates said staff therefore sought the committee's approval.

Gronower said the development agreement implements the project standards the council approved and provides flexibility to allow a more urban form of R-3 development. She asked the committee for a recommendation of approval. A committee member asked whether commercial design standards were included; Gronower said the commercial parcel was intentionally excluded from the development agreement and would comply with standard code when developed.

During discussion a committee member asked about timing; the applicant said demolition would be required and estimated "within a year, you'll see some dirt movement after it's demolished," calling that an estimate. With no public commenters, a member moved to approve and the committee voted to forward the bill to City Council, where the item is scheduled for the Feb. 4 meeting.

The committee record shows a recommendation to the council only; final approvals and any changes to unit counts or standards will be decided at the City Council hearing.
