ANALYSIS
The subject site is currently developed with an Auto Repair Garage (Minor) use on the

Review (SDR-73504) to allow a proposed 8,243 square-foot commercial development
with three buildings that include a convenience store with full pumps, a tenant space for
a drive through restaurant and an auto repair garage (minor) use. Per the submitted
justification letter, combining the three lots is necessary in order to fully develop the
property.
Staff notes that per the submitted cross sections, the subject site is surrounded on three
sides by existing rights-of-way and on the west side by an existing commercial site and
a single family dwelling. No retaining walls are shown or anticipated.
The map meets and complies with the Title 19 and NRS 278 requirements for a
Tentative Map; therefore, staff recommends approval with conditions. If denied, the
existing parcel would remain.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant requests approval of a Tentative Map for a one-lot commercial

subdivision on a 4.65 acre site at the northeast corner of Eastern Avenue and US 95.
ISSUES
 The site has been graded and is currently partially developed.

 Applicant has not proposed any perimeter walls with this request.
ANALYSIS
The site is located within the Las Vegas Redevelopment Plan Area and is utilized as a
commercial land use. All existing structures on the site meet the Title 19 requirements
for the C-1 (Limited Commercial) zoning district.
Access to the site exists from two driveways off of Eastern Avenue and Cedar Avenue.
The site is partially developed, with an existing 4,189 square-foot convenience store
with fuel canopy and dispensers and self-service car wash constructed in 1997 on the
western portion of the subject site. Any future development proposed on the vacant
portion of the property will require a Site Development Plan Review and must comply
will all applicable Title 19 development standards. Site circulation is logical throughout
the site and will be unaffected by mapping.
Parking and access is intended to be allowed across the site. A condition of approval
will require that common perpetual access and parking will be granted across the entire
proposed commercial subdivision.
The map meets and complies with the Title 19 and NRS 278 requirements for a
Tentative Map; therefore, staff recommends approval with conditions. If denied, the
existing parcel would remain.
FINDINGS (TMP-73834)
All Title 19 zoning and NRS 278 and technical requirements regarding tentative maps
are satisfied. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the subject tentative map with
conditions.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT SUMMARY
This Text Amendment to Title 19 (The City of Las Vegas Unified Development Code) is
intended to introduce a new Chapter, Chapter 19.09, titled “Form-Based Code”, into the
UDC, and to amend Title 19 accordingly to update references related to this new
Chapter. As part of this Text Amendment, and to provide long-term planning that equally
takes into consideration the public realm and the development of private property,
thoroughfare classifications and standards for all streets within the Downtown Las
Vegas Overlay (DTLV-O) are included in this request to amend Title 19.
ANALYSIS
This Text Amendment introduces a Form-Based Code (FBC) for downtown Las Vegas
as part of the Unified Development Code (UDC) by introducing a new Chapter, Chapter
10.09 “Form-Based Code”, within the UDC. In concordance with the planned phasing of
the downtown masterplan implementation, the proposed LVMC Title 19.09 “Form-Based
Code” included in this amendment (See Exhibit A) covers only the Las Vegas Medical
District (LVMD) out of the twelve downtown districts as outlined in the Downtown
Masterplan. Over time, and following a methodical analysis of the neighborhoods
context as well as conducting extensive public outreach, the remaining eleven
downtown districts will be mapped with a regulating plan that utilizes the Form-Based
zoning districts as conceived and included in LVMC 19.09.050.
The Transect Zones and their related development standards proposed in this
amendment are calibrated to the LVMD. The amendment includes a draft Regulating
Plan (See Exhibit G – LVMD Form-Based Code Regulating Plan), which maps the new
Form-Based zoning districts on the parcels within the LVMD boundary. The Form-
Based Code will become effective on the parcels within the LVMD upon approval of a
General Plan Amendment and Rezoning.
In June 2016, the City Council adopted the Vision 2045 Downtown Las Vegas
Masterplan, which includes a goal to “achieve seamless connections throughout by
incorporating a multi-modal transportation system to move people and goods with
higher efficiency and lower economic and environmental cost.” The Plan’s Mobility
Chapter describes strategies that “create streets for people,” improve linkages to
resources and neighborhoods, and promote transit use to facilitate “transit oriented
development.” The Plan calls for a layered thoroughfare network that allows for an
LM
TXT-73545
easier process of prioritizing improvements and serving multiple modes of transportation

to make Downtown’s transportation system work more efficiently and economically. One
major anticipated improvement is the possible construction of a new high-capacity light
rail transit (LRT) or BRT transit system along Maryland Parkway through Downtown,
with the anticipated addition of other lines and extensions recommended from the
Regional Transportation Commission’s OnBoard future transit plan.
With the adoption by City Council of Ordinance #6608 replacing the Downtown
Centennial Plan, new standards for Downtown’s thoroughfares are required in
conjunction with Form Based Code standards contained within this proposed
amendment. Built upon the rural to urban transect, the proposed thoroughfare
standards create complete streets to reinforce walkable communities within each
transect zone, varying in intensity and size. To effectuate recommendations of the plan
and to establish a standard for the Form Based Code, this proposed amendment would
add a variety of thoroughfare types reflecting either current thoroughfare conditions or
anticipating the construction of the new high-capacity transit system based on each
mode, including:
 Downtown Alleys
 Minor Neighborhood Streets
 Major Neighborhood Streets
 Commercial Street
 Avenue
 Bike Emphasis
 Boulevard
 Transit Emphasis Street
FINDINGS (TXT-73545)
This amendment is consistent with the City’s goals, policies and objectives of the Las
Vegas 2020 Master Plan and its related Elements; with the recently adopted Vision
2045 Downtown Las Vegas Masterplan; and with the City of Las Vegas Medical District
Facilities Master Plan Technical Report. It is an amendment to Title 19 Unified
Development Code, which is required in order to apply a Form-Based Code for the
Downtown Las Vegas Area. The standards contained in the Form-Based Code (FBC)
Chapter 19.09, as contained in Exhibit A – Form-Based Code foster density and
intensity of development that is compatible with existing land use designations, and the
zoning designations allowed by the proposed amendment will be compatible with the
existing adjacent land uses and zoning districts. Moreover, Staff considers the proposed
Chapter 19.09 form-Based Code as a compelling amendment to promote the five “Big
Ideas” envisioned in the Vision 2045 Downtown Masterplan: 1) Diversify the Economy;
LM
TXT-73545
2) Create Mixed-use Hubs; 3) Create Streets for People; 4); A Greener Downtown; and
5) Expedite Implementation.
The Form-Based Code initiative built in a total of ten months of outreach, gathering
feedback from hundreds of residents and stakeholders. Staff hosted four neighborhood
meetings, participated in five community events, and presented updates at six public
hearings. The dedicated website www.formbasedcode.vegas exceeded 2,800 visits,
and dozens of community members attended the Form-Based Code Open House hours
that were made available for a total twenty-two days.
The proposed designation of Thoroughfare standards, which is included in this

amendment, allows for consistency with past actions and future planned roadway
improvements within Downtown Las Vegas. Existing thoroughfares designed and
constructed as previous City of Las Vegas capital improvement projects align with the
new thoroughfare standards developed in conjunction with the Form Based Code;
capital improvement projects in future years can be adapted to these standards. Staff
recommends approval of this Text Amendment to amend Title 19 Unified Development
Code.
Related Relevant City Actions by Planning, Fire, Bldg., etc.

The City Council adopted Bill 2011-7 as Ordinance 6135 to merge
Titles 18 (Subdivision Regulations) and 19 (Zoning Code) into one Title to

19.09.010.D Overview of the Guiding Principles for the Form-Based Code
The Vision 2045 Downtown Las Vegas Master Plan (Downtown Master Plan) adopted by the City Council on July
15, 2016 is the policy document that provides an overall vision, policy direction, and implementation strategy
in support of the ongoing recovery and revitalization of the Downtown region. The Downtown Master Plan
envisions and encourages downtown Las Vegas to achieve a compact, vibrant urban environment, with a
focus on higher density mixed-use development around transit hubs and activity nodes. The Master Plan is
intended to enable an energetic urban way of life and high-quality physical environment for locals and visitors
alike. To better anticipate growth and change, the Master Plan includes an expanded study area and includes
12 downtown planning districts including the addition of the Las Vegas Medical District and other peripheral
areas to the Downtown (See Figure B-1 Districts Within the Downtown Las Vegas Overlay District).
Adopted under the requirements of the Las Vegas Municipal Code, and other applicable laws, the Form-Based
Code establishes the new form-based standards for the area of the City included within the Downtown Las
Vegas Overlay (DTLV-O) established in LVMC Section 19.10.110. The Form-Based Code applies to the Downtown
Las Vegas Overlay District which encompasses the 12 Downtown Districts listed in Section 19.09.020.B
(Purpose of the Code). Over time a Regulating Plan and Form-Based Code will be applied to each of these 12
Downtown Districts, and when adopted, the existing base zones within each District and the standards in the
Interim Downtown Las Vegas Development Standards will be replaced by the standards included in the Form-
Based Code. The Form-Based Code has been designed so it can be easily updated as new Transect Zones
within the Downtown Form-Based Code are incrementally added.
July 2018 | Final Draft Page 09.010-1

19.09.010.B What is a Form-Based Code? City of Las Vegas Form-Based Code

A Form-Based Code (FBC) is a placed-based planning approach that supports walkable, mixed-use, and
compact urban environments rather than suburban development and sprawl. A FBC is an alternative to a
conventional zoning code.
The Form-Based Code Institute defines a FBC as a “land development regulation that fosters predictable
results and a high-quality public realm by using physical form (rather than separation of uses) as the
organizing principle for the code. A form-based code is a regulation, not a mere guideline, adopted into city,
town, or county law. A form-based code offers a powerful alternative to conventional zoning regulation”. A
FBC controls and regulates building form first and building use second through city (or county) regulations, to
achieve an anticipated type of built environment or “place” based on a community vision.
A FBC addresses the relationship between building facades and the public realm (i.e. the public and private
space between buildings), the form and mass of buildings in relation to one another, and the scale and types
of streets and blocks. Regulations and standards in a FBC are presented graphically in simple diagrams and
photographs as well as supplemental text. These standards are keyed to a plan (i.e. a Regulating Plan) that
functions like a zoning map that assigns an appropriate form and scale (i.e. the character) of development,
rather than only distinctions in land use types (see Figure B-1). So, while FBCs focus on an intended physical
form they do also regulate use by allowing an appropriate range of uses chosen to ensure compatibility
between uses and the intended physical form of the zone.
Figure B-1 Illustrative Pages and a Regulating Plan from Form-Based Codes
An important aspect of a FBC is that they are not just design guidelines; indeed, they replace the existing
zoning standards and regulations and have the same regulatory effect as any other zoning regulation.
FBCs are now being utilized by cities, towns, and counties across the country as communities are finding that
conventional zoning is not fulfilling their needs. This is because most zoning regulations fail to implement a
community’s vision or plans for the future. Like Las Vegas, many city residents are concerned about sprawl
and its impact on health, city financial resources, and the environment, including the amount of time (and its
associated cost) spent in traffic.
FBCs differ from conventional zoning codes in terms of the process by which they are prepared, the substance
of the standards they contain and how those standards are presented, the mechanism by which they are
implemented, and the built form they produce. In summary, a FBC is a regulatory tool drafted to implement
a community vision or plan that allows a community to approach the urban environment holistically by
establishing standards, for buildings, streets and sidewalks, parks, and parking as examples, that address the
design and regulation of both private and public space.

City of Las Vegas Form-Based Code 19.09.010.C The Rural-to-Urban Transect: The Framework for the Form-Based Code
The Rural-to-Urban Transect is an organizing principle used in Form-Based Codes to establish a hierarchy of
environments or places based on their character. The designation of each zone along this hierarchy is first
determined by the character, form, intensity of development, and type of environment, and secondly, by the
uses allowed within the environment. This hierarchy of environments is used as the organizing framework
for the FBC rather than the use of land use categories, which are typically used in conventional or Euclidean
zoning as the organizing framework.
The typical transect for American towns is divided into six Transect Zones (frequently referred to as “T-zones”),
each of which is given a number with the lower numbers designating more rural/natural zones and higher
numbers designating more urban zones, and which are arranged from most natural to most urban, as
follows: Natural (T1), Rural (T2), Sub-Urban (T3), General Urban (T4), Urban Center (T5), and Urban Core (T6),
together with a Special District (SD) designation for places with specialized purposes (e.g., heavy industrial,
entertainment, or university districts). See Figure C-1. The transect for Las Vegas is illustrated in Figure C-2.

Subsections:
19.09.020.A Title
19.09.020.A Title
Chapter 19.09 of the Las Vegas Unified Development Code shall be known and may be cited as the Form-
Based Code. Within this Chapter, it may also be known as the “FBC.”

1. The Form-Based Code for Downtown Las Vegas is a component of the City of Las Vegas Unified
Development Code (UDC) developed to implement the Vision 2045 Downtown Las Vegas Master Plan
(Downtown Master Plan). The Downtown Master Plan provides an overall vision, policy direction and
implementation strategy that supports the ongoing recovery and revitalization of the Downtown as
a compact and vibrant urban environment with a focus on higher density mixed-use development
centered around transit hubs and activity nodes.
2. The Downtown Master Plan includes strategic priorities for economic growth and development of the
Las Vegas Downtown. Specific local government initiatives are identified, including:
a. Land Use Regulation
Reform of the land use regulatory process with, for example, clear standards and procedures
to ensure more predictable outcomes and expedited approvals for targeted projects, removal
of overlapping layers of regulation, improved development standards, and adoption of a
comprehensive Zoning Code that employs form-based standards aligned with the Master Plan
to focus on placemaking, encourage walkable urban environments, and support development of
mixed-use transit hubs;
b. Redevelopment Sites
Incentivized development of priority redevelopment sites and an aggressive pursuit of catalytic
projects to stimulate sustainable private investment and facilitate the production of housing in
the Downtown with an emphasis on mid-rise urban housing and vertical mixed-use development
directed toward strategic infill and priority redevelopment sites;

19.09.020.A Title City of Las Vegas Form-Based Code
Figure B-1 Districts within the Downtown Las Vegas Overlay District

City of Las Vegas Form-Based Code 19.09.020.B Purpose of the Form-Based Code
c. Community Development
Downtown’s livability is dependent on expanding community resources, including the provision
of comprehensive services that address the civic, social service, healthcare, educational, and
recreational needs of the community through community partnerships; and
d. Downtown Enhancement
Enhancement of the Downtown environment through a coordinated program of public realm
improvements and implementation of programs designed to encourage private property
improvements. A regulatory structure to maintain Downtown’s unique history and culture is
needed to facilitate historic preservation and support restoration of individual properties and
districts.
3. The FBC is intended to promote development that is place-based, i.e. specifically intended to be
compatible with the form and character of a geographic area. Secondarily, the FBC carefully regulates
uses to maximize compatibility between those uses and the intended physical form of the zone in which
they are located. Thus, the FBC will be used to reinforce existing, or to create new, walkable mixed-use
urban environments in a form that is comprehensive, straightforward, and easily understood.
4. The FBC establishes Transect Zones and Building Types, Frontage Types, Civic Space Types, and
Thoroughfare Standards that apply within the 12 Districts of the Downtown Las Vegas Overlay District
(LVMC Section 19.10.110), see Figure B-1 and listed below:
a. Las Vegas Medical District;
b. 18B Las Vegas Arts District;
c. Fremont East District;
d. Cashman District;
e. Civic and Business District;
f. Design District;
g. Founders District;
h. Gateway District;
i. Historic Westside District;
j. Market District;
k. Resort and Casino District; and
l. Symphony Park District.
5. Section 19.09.040 (Specific to Districts) includes unique standards that are applicable in specific
Downtown Districts.

19.09.020.C Authority City of Las Vegas Form-Based Code
The Form-Based Code is enacted based on the authority vested in the City of Las Vegas by the Nevada Revised
Statutes (NRS), including NRS Chapter 278, in compliance with LVMC Section 19.00.020 (Authority).
1. The FBC applies to the Downtown Las Vegas Overlay District established in LVMC Section 19.10.110
which encompasses the 12 Downtown Districts listed in Section 19.09.020.B (Purpose of the Code). Over
time a Form-Based Code with applicable Transect Zones mapped on the Zoning Map will be applied to
each of these 12 Downtown Districts. As each District FBC is adopted, the existing base zones within
each District and the standards in the Interim Downtown Las Vegas Development Standards will be
replaced by the standards in the Form-Based Code.
2. In addition to all applicable federal, state, and county laws and regulations governing land use and
development, this FBC applies to all land designated within the Downtown Las Vegas Overlay District.
3. The standards in the FBC apply to the following:
a. All proposed new development within the Transect Zones;
b. All additions to existing developments that increase the building footprint by 10 percent or more;
c. A facade renovation to the primary or secondary street frontage of an existing building; and
d. Improvements to pedestrian or vehicular access.
4. Whenever any provisions within the FBC impose overlapping or contradictory regulations, or
whenever any provisions of the FBC and any other City code, rule, or regulation impose overlapping
or contradictory regulations, the provision which is more restrictive or imposes higher standards or
requirements shall govern, so that in all cases the most restrictive provision shall apply.
5. This Chapter has been designed so it can be easily updated as new Transect Zones and associated
standards for Downtown Las Vegas Overlay Districts are incrementally added.

1. Responsible Bodies and Individuals
This Form-Based Code shall be administered by the Director of the Department of Planning in
compliance with LVMC Section 19.00.070 (Administration).
2. Exercise of Discretion
In the event that a provision of the FBC allows the Review Authority (responsible body or individual) to
exercise discretion in the application of a specific standard or requirement, but does not identify specific
criteria for a decision, the following criteria shall be used:
a. The proposed development complies with all applicable provisions of Chapter 19.09 (Form-Based
Code);
b. The exercise of discretion will ensure the compatibility of the proposed development with its site,
surrounding properties, and the community; and
c. The decision is consistent with the Downtown Master Plan.

19.09.040.A Purpose
The purpose of this Section is to consolidate any unique regulatory standards that are applicable to specific
Districts within the Downtown Las Vegas Overlay District (LVMC Section 19.10.110) such as land use regulation,
signage, parking, streetscape or landscaping standards, to ensure that proposed development with the
Transect Zones is also consistent with District specific standards in the Unified Development Code that
support the character, scale, and special requirements of the Downtown Districts.
Whenever differences occurr between the District-specific standards listed in LVMC 19.09.040 (Specific to
Districts) and other provisions listed in 19.09, the District-specific standards shall apply.
The standards in this Section apply to all proposed development in each of the Downtown Districts within the
Downtown Las Vegas Overlay District (LVMC Section 19.10.110). The regulations and standards that are applied
on parcels owned and operated by federal, state or city government through the application of this Code will
be interpreted as guidelines by the Review Authority. Nonetheless, to promote the urban form desired within
the Downtown Districts, compliance with all applicable standards and guidelines is encouraged.

The purpose of this Subsection is to promote a high-quality, walkable environment that emphasizes the
unique character of each Downtown District through the implementation of a district-specific tree pallette.
The tree species and planting requirements have been developed to be consistent with the goals and
objectives as expressed in the City of Las Vegas Master Plan, the Vision 2045 Downtown Masterplan, and

19.09.040.C District-specific Standards for Street Trees City of Las Vegas Form-Based Code
in consideration of the Nevada Division of Forestry Las Vegas Valley Urban Canopy Analysis as well as the
Regional Plant List developed by the SNRPC, to promote environmental, social, and economic benefits.
All street trees and trees required within buffer and front setback areas as required per 19.09.050 shall
conform to the standards as provided in Table 19.09.040.C-1 (District Pallette for Street Trees and Landscaping
Requirements) and Figure 19.09.040.C-1 (Additional Planting Requirements). The intent of the Alternating
Species Options is to minimize the potential impact of diseases and other negative conditions that could
impact a specific tree species, and by doing so preserving the desired canopy.

1. Additional Standards for Hospital Uses
To support the long term harmonious development of the Las Vegas Medical District, accessory structures
that are determined to be functionally essential to the hospital use, such as utility and medical-related
facilities, will be allowed as part of the development in a manner that is harmonious and compatible with the
surrounding properties, as approved by the Director.
2. Additional Landscaping Standards
On June 19, 2002, the Council adopted the Las Vegas Medical District Plan, which, among other regulations,
provided standards for streetscapes, landscape buffers, and street trees within the Las Vegas Medical District
(LVMD). Over time, these standards enhanced the physical quality of the LVMD, and created an environment
that is safe, aesthetically pleasing, and fosters pedestrian comfort through shade, well-planned street design,
and unique landscape design characteristics. It is the intent of this section to preserve these traits of the
LVMD, and to further this goal the following landscaping standards shall apply:
a. Existing trees, shrubs, and landscaped buffers that were installed or present before the adoption of the
LVMC 19.09 (Form-Based Code), including those which subsequently would not be installed at that location by
virtue of adoption of provisions LVMC 19.09, shall be properly mantained, preserved, and replaced in case of
death.

City of Las Vegas Form-Based Code 19.09.040.L Las Vegas Medical District
b. In order to preserve and mantain existing trees, shrubs, and landscaped buffers, whenever conflict may
arise between the provisions contained in LVMC Title 19.09 (Form-Based Code) and the preservation of
existing trees, shrubs, and landscaped buffers, precedence shall be given to the preservation of existing
trees, shrubs, and landscaped buffers. This includes, but is not limited to, conflicts that may arise, regarding
setbacks, the facade zone, and lot coverage.
c. The Planning Commission may grant the removal of existing trees, shrubs, and landscaped buffers in virtue
of health, safety, and welfare concerns; an equivalent amount of similar sized trees, shrubs, and landscape
buffer area shall be installed, as approved by Staff.
d. A Variance is not available to permit a deviation from the provisions of this Section.
3. Pedestrian Open Spaces and Plazas
Pedestrian Open Spaces and Plazas Public open space, or plazas for public gathering, is required for all
new medical and office developments of 10,000 square feet or greater. These spaces shall provide seating
and should be easily observed and accessible from the street and/or pedestrian circulation areas. When
determining the open space for mixed-use buildings, only the gross floor areas of the office uses will be
considered. Outdoor pedestrian open spaces and plazas provide shade, opportunities for rest and relief from
traffic and noise as well as areas for additional outdoor activities such as vending and dining. Commercial
developments shall provide pedestrian open spaces and plazas in relation to the size of the development and
must include designs for such areas in the site plan. Such areas shall be provided according to the following
guidelines (See Figure 19.09.040.C-2 below):
a. Developments shall provide one square foot of plaza per 50 square feet of gross floor area for buildings of
10,000 square feet to 50,000 square feet. For larger buildings, an additional one square foot of open space
shall be required for each additional 500 square feet of floor area. For parking garages, open space shall be
provided at the rate of one square foot per stall.
b. Such plaza spaces shall be in addition to any such spaces provided by individual tenants or businesses for
the use of their customers.
c. Pedestrian open spaces and plazas shall be integral to the overall design of the proposed development and
shall be located in areas of high pedestrian traffic in such a manner to be convenient and readily accessible.
Such spaces shall remain open to the public and accessible during normal hours of operation.
d. Maintenance of these open spaces will be the responsibility of the property owner.
e. Whenever the standards contained in this Section and the ones set forth in 19.09.050 overlap or contraddict
each other, the provision which is more restrictive or imposes higher standards or requirements shall apply.

19.09.050.A Purpose
The purpose of this Section is to establish the regulatory standards for building form, building placement, and
land use within the Transect Zones applicable within the Downtown Las Vegas Overlay District (LVMC Section
19.10.110). These standards are intended to ensure that proposed development is compatible with future
development on neighboring properties, and produces an environment of desirable character and scale
consistent with the City’s vision for implementing the Downtown Master Plan, and any other applicable Master
Plan.

19.09.050.B Applicability City of Las Vegas Form-Based Code
1. The standards in this Section apply to all proposed development within the Transect Zones, and must be
considered in combination with the standards in Sections 19.09.060 (Building Type Standards), 19.09.070
(Frontage Type Standards), 19.09.080 (Civic Space Standards), 19.09.090 (Thoroughfare Standards), and
other applicable sections of LVMC Title 19 (Unified Development Code).
2. One or more of each of the following must be selected for, and applied to, each lot:
a. Building Type (at least one primary building);
b. Frontage Type (multiple types as allowed by the Zone);
c. Thoroughfare Type (as per each District Thoroughfare Plan); and
d. Use Type (multiple types as allowed by the Zone).
3. One or more of the following may be selected and applied to each lot, as applicable;
a. Civic Space Type (multiple types are allowed within each Zone).
4. Building Types, Frontage Types, Civic Space Types, Thoroughfare Types, and Land Use Types not listed in
the standards for a zone are not allowed in that zone.

1. Within the Downtown Las Vegas Overlay District, each District mapped on Figure B-1 (Districts Within
the Downtown Las Vegas Overlay District) is divided into Transect Zones. These zones implement the
vision of the Downtown Master Plan by providing a mix of intensity of development and a mix of uses
that are compatible with the character of the Downtown’s districts and neighborhoods.
2. The Transect Zones listed in Section 19.09.050.D (Transect Zones Overview) are mapped on the City’s
official Zoning Map (Refer to LVMC Section 19.00.100 (Zoning Map).

Table 19.09.050.D-1 (Transect Zones Overview) provides a summary of each of the Transect Zones that will be
applied within Downtown Las Vegas. This overview includes a typical illustrative photograph of the transect,
and a summary of the desired form, general use, and intent, of each Transect Zone.

19.09.060 BUILDING TYPE STANDARDS
Subsections:
19.09.060.A Purpose
19.09.060.A Purpose
The purpose of this Section is to provide an overview of the building types that are appropriate to use within
the Transect Zones. The overview is intended to ensure that new development establishes or reinforces the
highly-valued character and scale of the City’s Downtown districts and neighborhoods.
1. The requirements of this Section apply to all development proposed within the Transect Zones, and
they must be considered in combination with the standards for the applicable zone in LVMC Section
19.09.050 (Transect Zone Standards).
2. Development that includes education, public assembly, transportation, communications, and/or
infrastructure uses must comply with the standards for the applicable zone in LVMC Section 19.09.050
(Transect Zone Standards), but are not required to meet the standards of this Section.
3. Building types are categorized into two groups: house-scale buildings and block scale buildings.
a. House-scale buildings are the size of a house, typically ranging from as small as 25 feet wide up to
90 feet wide.
b. Block-scale buildings are individually as large as most or all of a block, or when arranged together
along a street, appear to be as long as most or all of a block.
4. The standards for each building type are established in the Transect Zones, including standards for lot
size. If the lot is too small to accommodate a particular building type, a different building type must
be selected, or the building type must be scaled to fit the lot within the parameters of the standards
established for the Transect Zone.
5. Where multiple principal buildings are proposed for a single lot, the proposal must include potential lot
lines, which conform with this Ordinance, the purpose of which is to determine compliance with building
type standards.

1. Table 19.09.060.C-1 (Building Types Overview) provides an overview of the allowed building types that
are appropriate to use within the Transect Zones. The names of the building types are not intended to
limit uses within a particular building type. For example, a medium house building type may have non-
residential uses within it, such as a restaurant or office, as allowed by the Transect Zone.
2. Secondary wings and accessory structures must have a smaller footprint, a narrower width, and a depth
that is less than the width or depth of the footprint of the primary building.
3. The photographs in Table 19.09.060.C-1 (Building Types Overview) are illustrative only and not
regulatory.

19.09.070.A Purpose
The purpose of this Section is to establish standards for each of the frontage types that are appropriate to
use within the Transect Zones. Private frontages are the components of a building that provide an important
transition and interface between the public realm (i.e. the street and sidewalk) and the private realm (i.e. a
yard and building). These standards supplement the standards for each Transect Zone in which the frontage
types are allowed. They are intended to ensure development that establishes or reinforces the highly-valued
character and scale of the City’s Downtown districts and neighborhoods.
1. The requirements of this Section apply to all proposed development within the Transect Zones, and
they must be considered in combination with the standards for the applicable zone in LVMC Section
19.09.050 (Transect Zone Standards).
2. Development with education, public assembly, transportation, communications, and/or infrastructure
uses must comply with the standards for the applicable zone in LVMC Section 19.09.050 (Transect Zone
Standards), but are not required to meet the standards of this Section.
3. Each building must have at least one frontage type for each street frontage.
4. Frontage types not listed in the applicable transect zone standards are not allowed in that zone.
5. A building may have multiple frontage types as stipulated in this Section. For example, a dooryard
frontage may have a stoop or engaged porch frontage type as well.

Table 19.09.070.C-1 (Private Frontages Overview) provides an overview of the allowed frontage types with a
description of each type and an illustration showing its typical character and form. The private frontage is the
area between the building facade and the frontage line (edge of right-of-way).

19.09.080.G Plaza
19.09.080.A Purpose
The purpose of this Section is to provide the standards for pre-approved civic space types that are
appropriate to use within the Transect Zones. These standards are intended to ensure that these civic spaces
reinforce the highly valued walkable character and scale of the City’s Downtown districts and neighborhoods.
This Section describes the standards for development of civic spaces throughout the Transect Zones that
apply to all proposed new development. They must be considered in combination with the standards for the
applicable zone in LVMC Section 19.09.050 (Transect Zone Standards). Where these standards conflict with the
provisions of the Unified Development Code, the standards in this Section applies.

1. The civic spaces of a downtown are important public elements that provide open space and recreational
opportunities. The best civic spaces become the “outdoor living rooms” of the City and they play an
important role in placemaking by providing places where the community can come together to celebrate
events, relax, and socialize. The standards for civic spaces must be considered alongside building form,
building types, frontage types, and thoroughfares to shape a quality urban environment.
2. There are six different civic space types, together with supplementary standards for community
gardens and playgrounds, which may be assigned to one or more Transect Zones. These supplementary
civic space types may be established as a standalone civic space or may be incorporated into any of the
civic space types.
3. The dimensional requirements of each civic space are regulatory. The descriptions of each civic space,
with the character, allowed/typical uses, and stormwater management techniques, are descriptive, and
they delineate a broad range of possible characteristics and uses for each of the civic spaces. It is not
intended that each civic space provide the full range of typical uses and characteristics listed, but that
the entire network of civic spaces within the Transect Zones provide a desirable mix and complementary
range of civic space opportunities.

19.09.090.A Purpose
The purpose of this Section is to establish standards for pre-approved thoroughfare components and
assemblies that are appropriate to use within the Transect Zones. These components and assemblies
can be combined to form thoroughfares that can be used in new developments to create walkable urban
environments that reinforce the highly valued walkable character and scale of the City’s Downtown districts
and neighborhoods.
1. This Section describes the standards for development of thoroughfares within the Transect Zones. It
supplements the City of Las Vegas Engineering Standards. Where these guidelines conflict with the
Engineering Standards, the Engineering Standards must apply.
2. These thoroughfare standards may be applied to transform existing streets or to create new walkable
urban thoroughfares within the Downtown Las Vegas Overlay District.
3. Additional thoroughfare standards and assemblies can be integrated into this Section as they are
approved by the City.

the Thoroughfare standards are intended to support the character of the neighborhoods and context-based
placemaking, while providing a guideline to establish and reinforce a hierarchy for the mobility infrastructure
that complements the standards applicable to the Transect Zones as described in 19.09.050. As such, all right-
of-way within areas regulated by 19.09 shall be mapped with a Thoroughfare Plan that identifies Primary,
Secondary, and Tertiary Thoroughfares, as described in this Section.
Final Draft | July 2018 Page 09.090-1

19.09.090.D 18B Las Vegas Arts District Thoroughfare Plan (Placeholder) City of Las Vegas Form-Based Code
In addition to the standards contained in this Section, the provisions established by 19.04 regarding
Downtown Thoroughfare Types, shall apply.
1. Primary Thoroughfares
Primary Thoroughfares accommodate high levels of pedestrian activity and high levels of vehicular traffi c.
On Primary Streets, active uses – residential, retail, restaurant or offi ce – lining parking structures and on the
first floor of buildings, and restricted vehicular access enhance the pedestrian experience. Primary streets
provide the opportunity for more intense, urban development including shallow setbacks and, in some cases,
increased building height. Primary Thoroughfares are the highest order thoroughfare.
2. Secondary Thoroughfares
Secondary Thoroughfares have moderate levels of pedestrian activity and moderate levels of vehicular traffi c.
Secondary Streets may be mixed-use or more residential in character
3. Tertiary Thoroughfares
Tertiary Streets are visually less prominent than Primary and Secondary streets, and usually have narrower
Right-of-Way width. Traditionally, Tertiary Thoroughfares have been city alleys. They may function as “back of
house” for buildings with multiple street frontages. Care should be taken to make these streets as pedestrian-
friendly as possible while accommodating loading and access needs. Secondary Thoroughfares are the second
highest order thoroughfare.
4. Thoroughfares Hierarchy for Frontages, Vehicular Access, and Utility Location
a. Frontages: For the purposes of applying the standards provided in Section 19.09.050 (Transect Zones)
and 19.09.070 (Frontage Type Standards) the side of the lot facing the higher order thoroughfare shall
be considered as the frontage, or front, of the lot. Tertiary Thoroughfares are the third highest order
thoroughfare. Whenever two or more sides of the lot face Primary Thoroughfares, all such sides shall be
considered the frontage, or front.
b. Vehicular Access and Utilities Location: For the purposes of applying the standards provided in Section
19.09.050 (Transect Zones), including, but not limited to, standards related to driveway access and parking,
whenever possible, vehicular access shall be located along a thoroughfare of the lower order; and all utilities,
whenever possible, shall be located along the perimeter of thoroughfare of the lower order.

1. The standards for minimum and maximum on-site parking requirements for individual uses are
based on a combination of LVMC Section 19.12.060 (Parking Requirements), Table G-1 below, and the
Downtown Parking Load Map (Fig. G-1), as amended from time to time, which indicate the estimated
parking load based on neighborhood context, location, access, and current and future infrastructure.
Table G-1 Form-Based Code Parking Requirements

Load (Zone) Required Parking Spaces
Low Load (Zone 1) Minimum 40% and Maximum 60% of the parking requirement indicated in
19.12.060 for the individual use
Medium Load (Zone 2) Minimum 45% and Maximum 65% of the parking requirement indicated in
High Load (Zone 3) Minimum 50% and Maximum 70% of the parking requirement indicated in
How to apply the Form-Based Code Parking Requirements:
a. Find the Parking Requirements for the individual use as set forth in 19.12.060 and calculate the
amount of parking required. The first 2,000 square feet of GFA of Retail Trade and Employment &
Services Use Types (Refer to Section 19.09.050.I Tables) are exempt from this calculation.
b. Find your property location on the Downtown Parking Load Map and identify if the Parking Load
Zone is High (red), Medium (yellow), or Low (green) as indicated in Figure G-1.
c. Using the required parking amount as calculated in step #1; identify the minimum and maximum
required parking by utilizing the percentage based on the Parking Load Zone. See the example
below:

1. Standards and procedures for permanent and temporary signs allowed in all residential zones are
established in LVMC Section 19.06.140 (Residential Sign Standards).

This Subsection will be developed in the future to enable the inclusion of incentives into the Form-Based Code
that are intended to incentivize appropriate new development. These incentives could include, for example,
reductions in the number of parking spaces required and expedited approval processes.
The City could also include the concept of a Community Benefits Program into the Form-Based Code. This
program could, for example, allow a developer to increase the height of a building by a defined number of stories
in exchange for providing a community benefit, such as guaranteed affordable housing, a community park or
plaza, etc. If the City pursues such a program it will need to be carefully calibrated to specific Transect Zones and
Districts within Downtown Las Vegas.

For new development proposed on a large development site, i.e. a development proposed on 50 percent or more
of an existing block, the following standards to ensure pedestrian connectivity through a block, shall apply;
1. A pedestrian passage must be provided to provide convenient and easy walking access through the block
between adjoining public thoroughfares. Pedestrian passages are restricted to pedestrian use and may
have limited vehicular access.
2. Pedestrian passages must ideally be located near the middle of a block, and are intended to provide
connectivity to existing pedestrian networks and connect to other public spaces such as plazas or
courtyards, thoroughfares, alleys, and parking garages.
3. A pedestrian passage provides additional frontage opportunities for the commercial (retail and restaurant)
and/or residences houses along its edges. This public space may also provide an opportunity for informal or
formal community gathering.
4. Pedestrian passages must be designated as a public access easement or public right of way and must be a
minimum of 20 feet in width with a paved walkway a minimum of 10 feet wide.

** STAFF REPORT **
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request to amend LVMC Title 19, the Unified Development Code of the City of
Las Vegas, to make the Short-Term Residential Rental use prohibited by repealing all
provisions for the use, and to provide for other related matters
ANALYSIS
Since 2007, the city of Las Vegas has adopted six ordinances to address the influx of
Short-Term Residential Rentals since the rise of the “sharing economy.” These have
ranged from outright prohibition to allowing them under very specific conditions and
requirements. The proposed amendment will once again prohibit Short-Term Residential
Rentals, as defined in Chapter 19.18, in the city of Las Vegas. This will create a number
of non-conforming uses where Business Licenses and Special Use Permits have been
approved over the past decade since the use was made legal by adoption of Ordinance
5977 in March 2008.
FINDINGS
This amendment will accomplish the following:
1. Eliminate the Short-Term Residential Rentals use from the permissible use table
thereby making the use prohibited in the city of Las Vegas.
2. Create a number of non-conforming Short-Term Residential Rentals where an
entitlement has been established.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request to amend the Town Center Development Standards Manual to allow
Motor Vehicle Sales (Used) as a primary use within the GC (General Commercial) land
use district within a specified geographical area.
ANALYSIS
This Text Amendment would establish Motor Vehicle Sales (Used) as a primary use that
does not also require the associated sale of new vehicles at the same location. Currently,
used vehicle sales are permitted as a conditional use in the GC (General Commercial) and
EC (Employment Center) land use districts, but only in conjunction with the sale of new
vehicles.
The use would be limited to an area along Centennial Center Parkway, south of CC-215,
which was established as an “Auto Mall” in the Centennial Centre plan in 2000. This area
already contains multiple existing motor vehicle dealerships, and all of the specified area
currently has a land use designation of GC (General Commercial); as the use is limited
only to this area, the Permitted Uses Matrix Legend is being amended to exclude the EC
(Employment Center) district as an allowable district for the use. The sale of new motor
vehicles with or without ancillary used vehicle sales would still be permitted as a
conditional use in both the GC and EC districts.
This amendment will add minimum Special Use Permit requirements to ensure that the
use is permitted in a limited manner. In the case of a Conditional Use, if any conditional
use regulation cannot be met, then a Special Use Permit may be requested. Once
requested, the conditional use regulations no longer prevail. Establishing minimum
Special Use Permit requirements ensures that those requirements will be considered, and
establishes some minimum standards that cannot be waived, including lot and building
size and defining the geographical area in which the use is to be permitted.

FINDINGS
1. Allow Motor Vehicle Sales (Used) as a primary use not associated with new vehicle
sales in the GC (General Commercial) district within the Town Center Master Plan
area.
2. Remove Motor Vehicle Sales (Used) as a conditional use in the EC (Employment
Center) district.
3. Limit the Motor Vehicle Sales (Used) use to a specific geographical boundary,
regardless of land use district designation.
4. Establish minimum Special Use Permit requirements for the use, including non-
waivable standards for lot and building size and defining the geographical area in
which the use is to be permitted.

1. Title 19.12.070 is hereby amended by amending the “Short-Term Residential

Rental” use as follows:
Short-Term Residential Rental

of a residential dwelling unit for dwelling, lodging or sleeping purposes, wherein
any individual guest rents or occupies the entire dwelling unit or one or more
individual rooms within the unit for a period of less than 31
consecutive calendar days. This use does not include a "Community
Residence," "Facility for Transitional Living for Released Offenders," or any
other facility with dwelling units that is specifically defined in Chapter 19.18. For
purposes of this Title, this use does not include the rental or occupancy of
an accessory structure (Class I or II), a tent, a trailer or a mobile unit. In the
case of a single parcel containing more than one dwelling unit, each dwelling
unit constitutes a separate short-term residential rental use.
Conditional Use Regulations:

1. The operator must obtain a business license to operate the use.
2. The use must comply on an ongoing basis with all governmental licensing
and regulatory requirements, including the payment of applicable room taxes
and licensing fees.
3. The use must comply with the City’s noise regulations as they apply to

within the residential component of a mixed-use development.
5. Vehicle parking associated with the use shall comply with applicable parking
regulations, and vehicles of guests and invitees shall not obstruct traffic or
access to other properties in the area.
6. In addition to and independent of any enforcement authority or remedy
described in this Title, the failure to comply with a Conditional Use
Regulation associated with this use may be enforced as in the case of a
violation of Title 6 by means of a civil proceeding pursuant to LVMC 6.02.400
to 6.02.460, inclusive.

Proposed Amendments Page Two
7. On any particular parcel, the use is limited to a single residential dwelling unit
that is occupied by its owner during each period the unit is rented and that
has no more than three bedrooms, with a maximum occupancy not to
exceed the limits set forth in LVMC 6.75.090. For purposes of the preceding
sentence, "owner" includes any person who is listed as an owner of record of
the unit in the records of the Clark County Assessor or, in the case of a unit
that is owned by a trust or other corporate or legal entity, a trustee or
principal of that trust or entity. The dwelling unit is presumed to have the
number of bedrooms indicated in the records of the Clark County Assessor's
Office that pertain to that unit, but that presumption may be rebutted by
inspection or other competent evidence.
8. The use is allowed in the P-0, 0, C-1, C-2 and C-PB Zoning Districts only in
connection with the residential component of a mixed-use development or in
a dwelling unit permitted as a legal nonconforming use.
9. In a multifamily residential or within the residential component of a mixed-
use development no more than 5% of the units may be used as Short Term
Residential Rental.
Minimum Special Use Permit Requirements:

* 1. The operator must obtain a business license to operate the use.
* 2. The use must comply on an ongoing basis with all governmental licensing
and regulatory requirements, including the payment of applicable room taxes
and licensing fees.
* 3. The use must comply with the City's noise regulations as they apply to
residential uses, as well as any applicable provisions of the Municipal Code that
may pertain to odor nuisances,
* 4. Vehicle parking associated with the use shall comply with applicable
parking regulations, and vehicles of guests and invitees shall not obstruct traffic
or access to other properties in the area
* 5. In addition to and independent of any enforcement authority or remedy
described in this Title, the failure to comply with a Minimum Special Use Permit
Requirement or other condition of approval associated with this use may be
enforced as in the case of a violation of Title 6 by means of a civil proceeding
pursuant to LVMC 6.02.400 to 6.02.460, inclusive.
* 6. The use is allowed in the P-0, 0, C-1, C-2 and C-PB Zoning Districts only in
connection with the residential component of a mixed-use development or in a
dwelling unit permitted as a legal nonconforming use.
* 7. The maximum occupancy of the residential dwelling unit shall not exceed
the limits provided for in LVMC 6.75.090.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request to amend LVMC Chapters 19.12 Permitted Uses and 19.18 Definitions
and Measures to provide updated standards and a definition for a Short-Term
Residential Rental use in Mixed-Use and Multi-Family Residential developments, and to
provide for other related matters.
ANALYSIS
Since 2007, the city of Las Vegas has adopted six ordinances to address the influx of
Short-Term Residential Rentals since the rise of the “sharing economy.” These have
ranged from outright prohibition to allowing them under very specific conditions and
requirements. In 2015 the city introduced distance separations between Short-Term
Residential Rental uses. The intent of the distance separation was to minimize the
impacts on the city’s neighborhoods by limiting the use to about one Short-Term
Residential Rental per block. At the time the distance separation was introduced, the
focus was on single family residential neighborhoods, which was where most of the
permits and licenses had been requested. This did not take into account the vertical
nature of Mixed-Use and Multi-Family Residential developments and limited the number
of units that could potentially be approved without a waiver for a Short-Term Residential
Rental to one unit no matter how many units are a part of the development. The proposed
amendment will allow a maximum of 5% of the units within multifamily residential or within
the residential component of a mixed-use development to be used as a Short-Term
Residential Rental use. Each unit proposed to be used as a Short-Term Residential
Rental use will need to be individual entitled for that use. In addition to the proposed
amendment to LVMC Title 19 when this item moves forward to Council for consideration it
will include additional licensing requirements specific to units within multifamily residential
or within the residential component of a mixed-use development that include:
 Operators shall participate in a building-wide security plan.

 License must surrender upon sale of residence or property.
 Applicant must obtain a $2,000,000 Liability Policy adding the City of Las Vegas as
an additional insured.

FINDINGS
1. Exempt a Mixed-Use or Multi-Family Residential developments from the application

of the 660-foot distance separation in favor of limiting the number of units within the
development that can operate as Short-Term Residential Rentals.
2. Limit the portion of a Mixed-Use or Multi-Family Residential developments that can
operate as Short-Term Residential Rentals to 5% of the total residential units in the
development.
