Planners delay senior complex
The North Las Vegas Planning Commission Wednesday night delayed action on a controversial senior housing complex until Dec. 8.
The commissioners declined to act on a final development plan to allow a 442 unit senior housing complex to give the public works and police departments time to meet with the builder, Ken Templeton Realty.
Both departments have concerns because the site plan does not have enough detail on streets and has incomplete information on fire codes and ordinances.
Carefree Villas, near Alexander Road and Allen Lane has gone before the Planning Commission and City Council numerous times for more than a year.
It was originally denied by the Planning Commission in August 1998 after about 200 residents protested.
Low-income senior housing gets OK
The Planning Commission approved a site plan to Nevada HAND, a nonprofit housing development company, to develop a low income senior apartment complex at the southwest corner of Martin Luther King Boulevard and Helen Avenue.
Buena Vista Springs III will be a senior rental community consisting of 36 one-bedroom units and 20 two-bedroom units, according to plans filed with the city.
Twenty-nine units will be targeted to households earning no more than 40 percent of the area median income, while 27 units will be set aside for households at or below 30 percent of the median income.
The total development costs of about $4.8 million will be financed with a variety of public and private partners including Franklin Capital, California Federal Bank, a grant by Clark County, and a construction loan by Wells Fargo Bank.
