Boulder Hwy Group, LLC recently received approval of a use permit for its 213-unit Multifamily at Boulder Hwy & Desert Inn apartment complex planned west of Boulder Highway and north of Desert Inn Road in Winchester.
According to the application, Boulder Hwy Group, LLC is the project owner. I-Ting Lai is the applicant, and LAS Consulting is listed as the correspondent. Yihong Liu + Associates is the design firm and landscape architect. The general contractor has not been selected at this time.
The two-building, four-story multifamily development is planned on a 5.2-acre site zoned Commercial Resort. Building One is the larger of the two buildings; it will be U-shaped and sit on the southern end of the site.
Building Two will be immediately north of One and directly adjacent to Boulder Highway. Building One will be 143.6KSF, while Building Two will be 72.6KSF. The buildings will combine for 216.2KSF.
Building One is slightly taller, with its planned height sitting at 55 feet. Building Two is proposed to be 53 feet tall.
Each building will contain one- and two-bedroom units. In total, the apartment complex will feature 127 one-bedroom and 86 two-bedroom units. Residential units will range from 665SF to 1,105SF. The project is planned to have a density of 41.9 units/acre.
There will be a clubhouse on the first and second floors of Building Two. The leasing office will be on the first floor of the same building. The building is also planned to contain six garages on its western side.
According to LAS Consulting’s justification letter, additional amenities include pickleball courts, dog parks, a pool, open space areas and electric vehicle parking. Building One will be constructed around the pool deck.
The buildings are described as having flat parapet roofs and stucco finishes on the exterior walls. Every unit will feature a balcony/patio with metal railings.
The building will feature various pop-outs, recesses, roof heights and other visual enhancements to diversify the surfaces.
Current plans feature two separate gated access points along Boulder Highway and Desert Inn Road. Vehicles will circulate through the site via 24-foot-wide drive aisles.
Parking spaces will be located in garages and within a surface parking lot. A typical parking requirement for a development of this size consists of 320 parking spaces.
Due to the proposal’s proximity to a fixed transit stop, regulations allow for a 10% reduction in parking spaces, which would bring the requirement down to 288 spaces. Developers requested to reduce parking by an additional four spaces, which brings the total to 284.
Waivers of Development Standards and Other Requests
Developers had requested two Waivers of Development Standards, a Use Permit and a Design Review. The Clark County Zoning Commission was ultimately supportive of the project and approved it during the routine action items portion of its meeting.
The waivers of development standards were focused on alterations to landscape buffers on the northwestern end of the site. As the site is adjacent to an existing multifamily development, County staff were supportive and recommended its approval.
The second waiver was to reduce the driveway throat depth to allow for a call box. County staff had no issues with this waiver and recommended its approval.
