Clark County Zoning Commission
| Approved
Agenda note: SUBJECT MATTER: In the matter of the aforementioned described application of Palm Mortuary, Inc. for a waiver of development standards and design reviews (as indicated on the ATTACHED agenda item):
REPRESENTATIVE(S): Present
SPEAKER(S): Present
DISCUSSION: Following introduction of the item, the Board was addressed by Blayne Soule, the applicant’s representative, who advised that Palm Eastern Cemetery was located at the south east corner of Eldorado Lane and Eastern Avenue; consisted of 73 acres; the proposed structure will be utilized as a mausoleum and chapel; requested a waiver for a height of 42 feet; advised that Planning recommended approval; located 500 feet from the nearest residents, and will be buffered by existing landscaping; and the additional height was architectural, to permit light to enter, and to provide a heaven-ward appearance.
James Rosman, Alan Shugarman, and Elaine Lutz spoke regarding areas of concern including the structure’s impact on property values, being that the view from the neighbor’s homes will be diminished; granting the variance sets a precedent for the area; the additional height did not conform with the neighborhood design; and the lack of an existing landscape buffer as the east end of the cemetery was undeveloped.
Discussion followed regarding topics including that the additional height was necessary for the window and to permit light to enter the structure; the nearest structure was 542 feet so the impact to neighbors was limited; not unusual for a cemetery of this size to add a similar structure; and that the situation was unique and not likely to set a precedent. | Pass |
