Planning Commission Rejects Four Zone Changes in Las Vegas
Las Vegas Planning Commission recommended denial of four zone changes on Thursday night and put several subdivision maps in abeyance under a new master zoning ordinance requiring 500 square foot lot enlargements. The panel approved an annexation by Boise-Cascade Paper Co. covering about 80 acres near Tonopah Highway and Smoke Ranch Road, and denied a Mirenti proposal for Washington Avenue apartments. A Mohawk Charleston Heights request for 0 apartments drew 100 protests and was denied. The commission also endorsed Round Up Real Estate’s south Park Paseo area rezoning to commercial and rejected a Charleston Montclair Wilshire residential to commercial change. The City Commission has final say and appeals lie to them.
