Commission approves plan amendment, zone changes and tentative map for 113-home development after neighbor opposition

Clark County commissioners voted to approve items 48–52, a package including a plan amendment, zone change, vacating easements, waivers and a tentative map to facilitate a 113-lot single-family subdivision on about 14.92 acres in Enterprise.

Mark Mulhall, representing the applicant, described the requested plan amendment to change portions of the site from corridor mixed use and neighborhood commercial to compact neighborhood and low-intensity suburban neighborhood to enable the residential tentative map for roughly 113 homes. He said the plan includes buffer lots and access points routed to Dean Martin Drive to manage traffic.

Nearby residents objected during public comment. Heidi McGee (S7) urged the commission to follow the town board and planning-commission recommendations to deny the tentative map and plan amendment, citing preservation of ranch-estate character and drainage concerns. James J. Brown (S15) told the board he and his neighbors live on larger lots and urged lower-density housing in keeping with the area.

Applicant representatives and staff discussed drainage work and emergency access measures: the applicant said off-site drainage and stub streets with emergency access have been coordinated with fire to address access and safety concerns. Commissioner comments referenced prior town-board and staff review; the motion to approve passed on the record.

Next steps: the applicant will proceed with entitlement and conditions imposed by staff; staff and the applicant remain responsible for off-site drainage solutions and required construction of buffers and emergency access per the approved tentative map.
