Marketplace goes to City Council
Thursday, March 28, 2002 | 9:08 a.m.
A proposed commercial development including a fast food restaurant across the street from a North Las Vegas hog farm will need approval from the North Las Vegas City Council.
The North Las Vegas Planning Commission sent the North 5th Marketplace project at Ann Road and 5th Street to the City Council without a recommendation on Wednesday night.
North Las Vegas planning staff recommended the commission deny the application by Consolidated Property Group LLC to amend the comprehensive plan changing the current low density residential zoning to convenience commercial.
Jennifer Lazovich, representing Consolidated Property Group, said a bank, convenience food restaurant with drive-through window, a drug store and a convenience store with gas pumps would serve nearby residents on a daily basis.
NLV planners said the commercial development as proposed should use 1 to 3 acres. The property is 5 acres.
Commission members failed to vote unanimously to deny the project. On a subsequent vote, the commission failed to approve it. The second vote sent the project to the city council without a recommendation.
Two Planning Commission members, Anita Wood and Tom Langford, questioned building a fast-food restaurant and convenience store near Mojave High School. Langford said that owners often have a problem limiting the number of students who pour into a store during lunch breaks and after school.
Robert Combs, owner of R.C. Farms, who raises hogs across the street from the proposed project, did not oppose the project.
"I would like people to know we are there," he said, noting that restaurant patrons might consider swine odors offensive.
