To ensure that new residential development will not negatively impact the use and enjoyment of adjacent and neighboring properties;
To ensure that new residential development will contribute to the overall attractiveness of the City;
To increase design compatibility between abutting properties and land uses;
To reinforce a sense of community and to preserve the integrity of neighborhoods and places of business; and
To reduce unsightly views;
To provide for landscaping and buffering that:
1. Conserves water and reduces erosion;
2. Reduces heat and glare generated by development; and
3. Aids in filtering dust and particulate matter from the air.

Effective on: 1/1/1901

19.06.030 General

Access
All lots or parcels shall have frontage upon a public street; provided however, that lots within a recorded Subdivision or Parcel Map may provide access to a public street by way of a commonly owned private street or a private access easement. All private access streets must be fully improved in accordance with the Traffic Circulation Improvements Standards contained in the Design Standards Manual.

Grading

Grading Plan Approval - When Required. When the natural grade of a lot is proposed to be raised more than two feet at any point from existing grade, three copies of a finished lot grading plan and legal description of the property shall be filed with the Department of Public Works. The plan shall include proposed and existing grades, building locations, and building height information for the development site and for the adjacent properties, and any justification for the proposal. The Director of Public Works or designee may withhold or deny development approval unless the applicant demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Works that the proposal is necessary in order to develop the site in a manner which conforms to applicable drainage and other development standards. The timing of site grading is subject to the provisions of Paragraph (3) below.
Grading Plan - Appeal of Denial. The applicant may appeal to the City Council any final decision rendered pursuant to Paragraph (1) of this Subsection. In connection with the appeal, the City may require notification of surrounding property owners. The City may charge a fee for the appeal and for any required notification in accordance with the Fee Schedule.
Early Grading Consideration. To the extent provided for in this Paragraph (3), the Director of Public Works or designee may authorize the issuance of a grading permit prior to final approval of Civil Improvement Plans for the site (hereafter “early grading”) if the application for such permit demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Works or designee that early grading is necessary in order to relieve a particular and exceptional practical difficulty or exceptional and undue hardship that is not created by the property owner or developer. In addition, the issuance of a grading permit for early grading is subject to the following limitations and conditions:
1. The real property that is the subject of the grading permit must not be located within the HS-O (Hillside Development Overlay) District.
2. The real property must have received:
  1. Tentative Map approval and Final Map Technical Review approval for developments requiring a subdivision map; and
  2. Site Development Plan Review approval, if required by this Title.
3. The developer must have submitted to the City Engineer or designee a justification letter that delineates the reasons for requesting early grading and the specific circumstances the City should consider in evaluating the request for early grading.
4. The Drainage Study for the site must have been approved.
5. The Traffic Impact Study for the site must have been approved.
6. The Bond Estimate for the site must have been approved, and bonds must have been posted.
7. The design engineer must have addressed all initial plan check comments and must have resubmitted the plans to the City.
8. All easements and development-related agreement documents must have been prepared and submitted to the City.
9. The property owner must have executed a waiver and consent, in a form prepared or approved by the City Attorney, in which the property owner acknowledges and agrees:
  1. That the site has not received final approval of Civil Improvement Plans, and that in absence of such approval, the property owner is proceeding at his or her own risk in excavating the real property that is the subject of the grading permit;
  2. The location and design of private and public improvements on the site may be subject to change as a condition of final approval of Civil Improvement Plans;
  3. That the grading permit issued pursuant to this Paragraph (3) does not create any vested rights; and
  4. That the City Council, in the exercise of its legislative authority, is free to amend or enact legislation which may have an adverse effect on the property owner’s ability to obtain final approval of Civil Improvement Plans from the City or which may increase the costs of the project, or both.
10. The City must have approved any and all deviations from City Standards that have been proposed in connection with the development.
11. The developer must have demonstrated compliance with the requirements of NAC 278.290 through 278.530.

Construction
No building, structure or land shall be erected, reconstructed, structurally altered or used for a purpose other than a use allowed in the zoning district in which the building, structure or land use is located.
Lot Size
Lot size refers to the amount of horizontal land area contained within property lines. No lot area shall be so reduced that the size, width, setbacks, yards, required open space or total lot area is less than prescribed by this Title; nor shall the unit density be increased in any manner, except in conformity with the regulations established in this Chapter.
1. Yard Area. No yard, open space or off-street parking or loading space, required in conjunction with a building or land use, shall be included as part of a yard, open space or parking or loading space required for any other building or land use, unless otherwise provided in this Title.
2. Utility Facilities. Public and private utility facilities (i.e. pumping and switching stations, reservoirs, power substations, etc.) using land or an unoccupied building requiring less than 500 square feet of site area are exempt from the minimum lot size requirements of all zoning districts, provided that all other applicable provisions of this Chapter are satisfied.
3. Reduction of Existing Lot. When an existing lot is reduced as a result of conveyance to a federal, state or local government for a public purpose and the remaining area is at least ninety (90) percent of the required minimum lot size for the district in which it is located, then that remaining lot shall be deemed to be in compliance with the minimum lot size standards of this Chapter, without the necessity of further administrative approvals.

Residential Adjacency Standards
1. 1.
  Applicability
  1. a.
    All property to be developed for multi-family residential or nonresidential use that is located adjacent to property which is zoned R-E, R-D, R-1, R-SL, or R-CL, unless such adjacent property is developed with a nonresidential use, shall conform to the residential adjacency standards set forth in this Subsection.
  2. b.
    For purposes of this Subsection:
    i.
    Property is “adjacent” to other property if the properties share a common property line or are separated only by a street right-of-way or easement.
    ii.
    “Property subject to the standards for this Subsection” means the property that is described in Subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph (1) that must conform to the residential adjacency standards of this Section.
    iii.
    “Protected property” means residential property that is developed for sale or designated for such development, and single family residential property, as those types of property are described in Subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph (1).
2. 2.
  Building Height And Setback Requirements (see Figure 4)
  1. a.
    Proximity Slope
    i.
    Except as otherwise provided in this Paragraph (2), no building subject to the standards of this Subsection shall exceed the height of a line drawn from the property line of a protected property at a 3:1 slope directly into the property subject to the standards of this Subsection. For example, a 100-foot high building must be set back 300 feet from the property line of the protected property, if both the property line of that property and the grade of the building subject to the standards of this Subsection are at the same elevation. The Proximity Slope limitation contained in this Subparagraph (i) applies to architectural projections above rooflines.
    ii.
    The Proximity Slope limitation contained in Subparagraph (a)(i) does not apply when nonresidential buildings, such as schools and churches/houses of worship, are built on the protected property.
    iii.
    Notwithstanding the Proximity Slope limitation contained in Subparagraph (a)(i), a one story building up to 15 feet in height may be constructed to the applicable setback line that is established for the zoning district in which the property subject to the standards of this Subsection is located or which is established by Subparagraph (d) of this Paragraph (2).
  2. b.
    Changes in Grade. Notwithstanding the Proximity Slope limitation contained in Subparagraph (a)(i) above, if the natural slope of the ground rises or falls from the point of origin of the slope line, the actual building height may be greater or lesser by the difference in grade.
  3. c.
    Exceptions
    i.
    The following structures may project a maximum of 12 feet above the Proximity Slope:
    A)
    Chimney and vent stacks.
    B)
    Roof structures for the use of solar panel units, elevators, stairs, tanks, ventilation and similar necessary mechanical equipment.
    C)
    Visual screens which surround mounted mechanical equipment.
    D)
    Skylights.
    E)
    Whip and mounted antennas.
    ii.
    Church steeples, utility transmission lines and towers, wireless communication facilities when attached to a utility transmission line pole or tower, small wind energy systems, and municipal utility facilities such as water towers are exempt from the maximum height provisions.
  4. d.
    Building Setback. In addition to the required building setback line, no building setback on property subject to the standards of this Subsection shall be less than the required building setback for the protected property.
  5. e.
    Waiver. The requirements of this Paragraph (2) may be waived by the City Council for:
    i.
    Any multi-family residential project that is intended to meet the affordable housing objectives of the General Plan if the City Council determines that the waiver is critical to the viability of the project and that the intent of this Paragraph (2) can be achieved; or
    ii.
    Any mixed-use development that contains a significant residential element.
3. 3.
  Spill-Over Lighting
  1. a.
    Lighting Standard. No lighting from a property subject to the standards of this Section shall create greater than 0.5 of one foot-candle at the property line of a protected property.
  2. b.
    Redirecting/Screening of Light Sources. All sources of light, including security lighting, illuminated signs, vehicular headlights and other sources, shall be directed away from protected property or screened so that the light level above is not exceeded.
4. 4.
  Trash Receptacles
  Garbage storage areas for properties subject to the standards of this Subsection shall be screened and odor controlled, and trash pick up shall be scheduled to minimize any impact on protected properties. In addition, trash receptacles shall be located a minimum of 50 feet from any property line of a protected property.
5. 5.
  Exclusions
  1. a.
    Higher Ambient Light Levels. Where existing ambient light levels from multiple sources already exceed the standards, the subject source may not increase the existing light levels, unless approved in connection with the approval of a Site Development Plan.

8. All easements and development-related agreement documents must have been prepared and submitted to the City.
9. The property owner must have executed a waiver and consent, in a form prepared or approved by the City Attorney, in which the property owner acknowledges and agrees:
  1. That the site has not received final approval of Civil Improvement Plans, and that in absence of such approval, the property owner is proceeding at his or her own risk in excavating the real property that is the subject of the grading permit;
  2. The location and design of private and public improvements on the site may be subject to change as a condition of final approval of Civil Improvement Plans;
  3. That the grading permit issued pursuant to this Paragraph (3) does not create any vested rights; and
  4. That the City Council, in the exercise of its legislative authority, is free to amend or enact legislation which may have an adverse effect on the property owner’s ability to obtain final approval of Civil Improvement Plans from the City or which may increase the costs of the project, or both.
10. The City must have approved any and all deviations from City Standards that have been proposed in connection with the development.
11. The developer must have demonstrated compliance with the requirements of NAC 278.290 through 278.530.

For example, a 100-foot high building must be set back 300 feet from the property line of the protected property, if both the property line of that property and the grade of the building subject to the standards of this Subsection are at the same elevation. The Proximity Slope limitation contained in this Subparagraph (i) applies to architectural projections above rooflines.
    ii.
    The Proximity Slope limitation contained in Subparagraph (a)(i) does not apply when nonresidential buildings, such as schools and churches/houses of worship, are built on the protected property.
    iii.
    Notwithstanding the Proximity Slope limitation contained in Subparagraph (a)(i), a one story building up to 15 feet in height may be constructed to the applicable setback line that is established for the zoning district in which the property subject to the standards of this Subsection is located or which is established by Subparagraph (d) of this Paragraph (2).
  2. b.
    Changes in Grade. Notwithstanding the Proximity Slope limitation contained in Subparagraph (a)(i) above, if the natural slope of the ground rises or falls from the point of origin of the slope line, the actual building height may be greater or lesser by the difference in grade.
  3. c.
    Exceptions
    i.
    The following structures may project a maximum of 12 feet above the Proximity Slope:
    A)
    Chimney and vent stacks.
    B)
    Roof structures for the use of solar panel units, elevators, stairs, tanks, ventilation and similar necessary mechanical equipment.
    C)
    Visual screens which surround mounted mechanical equipment.
    D)
    Skylights.
    E)
    Whip and mounted antennas.
    ii.
    Church steeples, utility transmission lines and towers, wireless communication facilities when attached to a utility transmission line pole or tower, small wind energy systems, and municipal utility facilities such as water towers are exempt from the maximum height provisions.
  4. d.
    Building Setback. In addition to the required building setback line, no building setback on property subject to the standards of this Subsection shall be less than the required building setback for the protected property.
  5. e.
    Waiver. The requirements of this Paragraph (2) may be waived by the City Council for:
    i.
    Any multi-family residential project that is intended to meet the affordable housing objectives of the General Plan if the City Council determines that the waiver is critical to the viability of the project and that the intent of this Paragraph (2) can be achieved; or
    ii.
    Any mixed-use development that contains a significant residential element.
3. 3.
  Spill-Over Lighting
  1. a.
    Lighting Standard. No lighting from a property subject to the standards of this Section shall create greater than 0.5 of one foot-candle at the property line of a protected property.
  2. b.
    Redirecting/Screening of Light Sources. All sources of light, including security lighting, illuminated signs, vehicular headlights and other sources, shall be directed away from protected property or screened so that the light level above is not exceeded.
4. 4.
  Trash Receptacles
  Garbage storage areas for properties subject to the standards of this Subsection shall be screened and odor controlled, and trash pick up shall be scheduled to minimize any impact on protected properties. In addition, trash receptacles shall be located a minimum of 50 feet from any property line of a protected property.
5. 5.
  Exclusions
  1. a.
    Higher Ambient Light Levels. Where existing ambient light levels from multiple sources already exceed the standards, the subject source may not increase the existing light levels, unless approved in connection with the approval of a Site Development Plan.

Design Standards for Freestanding Signs.
The purpose and intent of these criteria are to: improve the appearance of the vertical elements and supporting structures of freestanding signs, provide for the use of materials, textures and finishes that complement the architecture of the principle buildings on the same site as the freestanding sign, and to provide for the utilization of architectural features and elements that complement the architectural context of the site on which the freestanding sign is located. In order to further the purpose of this Section, the vertical elements and supporting structures of freestanding signs shall:
1. 1.
  Be constructed of materials that are similar or complementary to the materials utilized on the facade of the principal building on the same site;
2. 2.
  Utilize architectural features and elements that are similar or complementary to the architecture of the principal building on the same site;
3. 3.
  Utilize colors, finishing or textures that are similar or complementary to the architecture of the principal building on the same site; and
4. 4.
  Consist of either two or more supports or of one continuous support which maintains the appearance of ground contact for at least three feet or 20 percent of the width of the sign, whichever is smaller.

Grading

Grading Plan Approval - When Required. When the natural grade of a lot is proposed to be raised more than two feet at any point from existing grade, three copies of a finished lot grading plan and legal description of the property shall be filed with the Department of Public Works. The plan shall include proposed and existing grades, building locations, and building height information for the development site and for the adjacent properties, and any justification for the proposal. The Director of Public Works or designee may withhold or deny development approval unless the applicant demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Works that the proposal is necessary in order to develop the site in a manner which conforms to applicable drainage and other development standards. The timing of site grading is subject to the provisions of Paragraph (3) below.
Grading Plan - Appeal of Denial. The applicant may appeal to the City Council any final decision rendered pursuant to Paragraph (1) of this Subsection. In connection with the appeal, the City may require notification of surrounding property owners. The City may charge a fee for the appeal and for any required notification in accordance with the Fee Schedule.
Early Grading Consideration. To the extent provided for in this Paragraph (3), the Director of Public Works or designee may authorize the issuance of a grading permit prior to final approval of Civil Improvement Plans for the site (hereafter “early grading”) if the application for such permit demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Works or designee that early grading is necessary in order to relieve a particular and exceptional practical difficulty or exceptional and undue hardship that is not created by the property owner or developer. In addition, the issuance of a grading permit for early grading is subject to the following limitations and conditions:
1. The real property that is the subject of the grading permit must not be located within the HS-O (Hillside Development Overlay) District.
2. The real property must have received:
  1. Tentative Map approval and Final Map Technical Review approval for developments requiring a subdivision map; and
  2. Site Development Plan Review approval, if required by this Title.
3. The developer must have submitted to the City Engineer or designee a justification letter that delineates the reasons for requesting early grading and the specific circumstances the City should consider in evaluating the request for early grading.
4. The Drainage Study for the site must have been approved.
5. The Traffic Impact Study for the site must have been approved.
6. The Bond Estimate for the site must have been approved, and bonds must have been posted.
7. The design engineer must have addressed all initial plan check comments and must have resubmitted the plans to the City.
8. All easements and development-related agreement documents must have been prepared and submitted to the City.
9. The property owner must have executed a waiver and consent, in a form prepared or approved by the City Attorney, in which the property owner acknowledges and agrees:
  1. That the site has not received final approval of Civil Improvement Plans, and that in absence of such approval, the property owner is proceeding at his or her own risk in excavating the real property that is the subject of the grading permit;
  2. The location and design of private and public improvements on the site may be subject to change as a condition of final approval of Civil Improvement Plans;
  3. That the grading permit issued pursuant to this Paragraph (3) does not create any vested rights; and
  4. That the City Council, in the exercise of its legislative authority, is free to amend or enact legislation which may have an adverse effect on the property owner’s ability to obtain final approval of Civil Improvement Plans from the City or which may increase the costs of the project, or both.
10. The City must have approved any and all deviations from City Standards that have been proposed in connection with the development.
11. The developer must have demonstrated compliance with the requirements of NAC 278.290 through 278.530.

Construction
No building, structure or land shall be erected, reconstructed, structurally altered or used for a purpose other than a use allowed in the zoning district in which the building, structure or land use is located.
Lot Size
Lot size refers to the amount of horizontal land area contained within property lines. No lot area shall be so reduced that the size, width, setbacks, yards, required open space or total lot area is less than prescribed by this Title; nor shall the unit density be increased in any manner, except in conformity with the regulations established in this Chapter.
1. Yard Area. No yard, open space or off-street parking or loading space, required in conjunction with a building or land use, shall be included as part of a yard, open space or parking or loading space required for any other building or land use, unless otherwise provided in this Title.
2. Utility Facilities. Public and private utility facilities (i.e. pumping and switching stations, reservoirs, power substations, etc.) using land or an unoccupied building requiring less than 500 square feet of site area are exempt from the minimum lot size requirements of all zoning districts, provided that all other applicable provisions of this Chapter are satisfied.
3. Reduction of Existing Lot. When an existing lot is reduced as a result of conveyance to a federal, state or local government for a public purpose and the remaining area is at least ninety (90) percent of the required minimum lot size for the district in which it is located, then that remaining lot shall be deemed to be in compliance with the minimum lot size standards of this Chapter, without the necessity of further administrative approvals.

The side yard setbacks may be configured in any manner that conforms to the International Building Code and results in maintaining the total side yard setback width required on each lot. In no case, however, may lots be configured or improvements placed on lots in a manner that results in open space or yard setback area for one lot actually being located on a separately owned lot. The use of “use easements” to create such a result is specifically prohibited. 3. For corner lots, the minimum corner side yard setback is ten feet; therefore, the total combined side yard setback width must be fifteen feet. 4. All dwellings located less than ten feet from a side property line must maintain a separation of at least ten feet between principal structures (including garages) on adjacent lots.
