BACKGROUND:
The Department of Business License accepted applications for new pawnshop licenses for a 30-day period beginning March 1, 2022, through March 30, 2022, at 5:00 P.M. Clark County Code Section 6.24.100 limits the number of pawnshop licenses that may be issued based on the population in each established unincorporated town within the County. Pursuant to Clark County Code Section 6.24.100 application priority was determined by a random drawing.
The application for EZPAWN was entered into the drawing and selected at the Board of County Commissioners meeting held on May 3, 2022. Under Chapter 6.24.100(d), applicants have six months from their selection or notification to complete the application process and have their application before the board of county commissioners for licensing or their application will be automatically denied. The six-month application period for EZPAWN began on May 3, 2022 and is set to expire on November 3, 2022.
The Department of Business License has found that EZPAWN's application for pawnshop at 1621 E Sunset Rd., Las Vegas, Nevada is complete. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department has also completed a suitability investigation and found no areas of concern. The applicant is currently pending approvals from the zoning and fire departments. The location is scheduled to be considered for a special use permit on November 1, 2022.
Staff recommends that the Board consider the application and take action on the application as deemed appropriate prior to the expiration on November 3, 2022, including denial of the application or issuance of a license upon receipt of approvals for zoning and fire safety.
