The Board was addressed by Rebecca Miltenberger, the applicant’s representative, who advised that the proposed project was located at the Clark County Route (CC) 215 and Durango Drive; was originally designated as a resort hotel/casino in connection with the Rhodes Ranch Master Plan; was zoned H-1; planned two phases with guest rooms, casino and entertainment amenities, over 3,800 parking spaces, electric charging spaces, a pool and spa, and desert landscaping; five small water features totaled less than one percent of the landscaping on the 50 acre site, 70 percent less than what was permitted by code for a project of this size, and used recycled water; promoted walkability and connectivity to the surrounding area with detached sidewalks, a bike trail, multi-use trail, and 36 bike racks; a traffic study was approved in 2008 for the approximately 70 acre development, worked with staff to address traffic concerns and reduced the intensity of the project; proposed seven ingress and egress points, with primary access to the parking garage located on Roy Horn Way, and primary access to the resort will be located on Durango Drive, with a traffic signal; worked with staff, and will contribute, to the proposed signalized intersection project located at Durango Drive and Maule Avenue; a secondary access will be located on Maule Avenue; advised that the traffic impact would be similar as if the property was developed as R-2 residential; staff and the Town Board recommended approval; and further advised that the applicant accepted the conditions, and the additional condition read into the record by staff.
Debra Korak spoke regarding areas of concern including access to the proposed project from Maule Avenue, except for emergency vehicles, due to the proximity of schools, parks, and increased traffic due to newly constructed apartment complexes.

Tanaka Elementary School.
Wendy Putnam Park spoke regarding areas of concern including the multiple entrances and exits for the proposed project directing traffic through the neighborhood; the proximity of schools; increased traffic; and safety.
Ellie Watts advised that her home backed onto Maule Avenue; increased traffic density; additional homes and apartments were approved for construction; and expressed concerns with safety, the schools, and water usage.
Robert Kachelriess advised of living adjacent to the proposed project; expressed concerns regarding the multiple entrances on Maule Avenue; the proximity to the elementary school; the applicant may sell the buffer for additional homes to be constructed; and increased traffic density.
Commissioner Jones and the applicant’s representative discussed traffic density; the primary entrance will be located on Durango Drive, and the parking garage entrance will be located on Roy Horn Way; and the project intensity was reduced from the proposed intensity presented in 2008; and Commissioner Jones requested that the applicant continue to collaborate with Public Works. | Pass |
