The Clark County Zoning Commission approved Durango Storeflex, LLC’s request for an Extension of Time for its proposed three-building mini-storage/warehouse project during its Jan. 21 meeting.

Ochoa Development Corporation is the owner and developer. Durango Storeflex is affiliated with Ochoa Development. Yihong Liu + Associates is the architect and landscape architect. Breslin Builders will be constructing the self-storage building.

Legal representation is being provided by Brown, Brown & Premsrirut. Lochsa Engineering is the civil engineer.

The self-storage project, currently called Butler St. Development, is proposed on a 2.3-acre parcel at 7245 Butler St. in Spring Valley. The property is currently zoned Industrial Park and has a land use designation of Business Employment.

Once complete, three different buildings will occupy the site. Building One is designated as a warehouse and will be 10KSF; Building Two is also designated as a warehouse and will be slightly larger at 10.5KSF, and Building Three will be the 114KSF self-storage building. The project will be completed in phases, with the self-storage building coming first.

Each of the office/warehouse buildings will be two stories with a height of 32 feet. Materials consist of CMU block, metal canopies and aluminum storefront systems. Roofs will be flat with parapet walls.

The eastern façade of each office/warehouse building will feature a roll-up door. Building One will feature an additional roll-up door on its northern façade, while Building Two will feature an additional door on its southern end.

The mini-warehouse building will be 50 feet tall across four stories. Aesthetically, the building will have a stucco finish, metal canopies and aluminum storefront systems. The mini-warehouse will also feature a flat roof with varied parapet walls.

The two office/warehouse buildings are to be constructed toward the eastern portion of the property, while the mini-warehouse building will sit toward the west. The mini-warehouse will be behind a gated area.

According to a justification letter prepared by LAS Consulting dated Nov. 19, 2024, north of the site sits a vacant parcel “mapped for a medical complex and zoned Urban Village,” the west and south each feature land zoned for commercial use, and the east contains an existing medical complex also zoned Commercial.

Access to the site will be provided from two separate driveways off Butler Street. Each driveway was below the 25-foot throat depth minimum and required the approval of a Waiver of Development Standards. The parking lot will contain 45 parking spaces, where only 42 are required.

The staff report notes the applicants are nearly construction-ready for the project. Traffic and drainage studies have been completed, and the County is currently reviewing permits for grading, building and off-site improvements.

The freshly approved Extension of Time gives developers until Nov. 16, 2027, to commence. The request was approved during the Routine Action Items portion of the meeting; therefore, no public discussion was held.

Project representatives said they intend to break ground sometime in the coming months. Construction is expected to take roughly a year.

Project History

The project was originally approved on Nov. 16, 2022. Prior to its approval, the site was zoned Commercial. The first extension was approved in December 2024.
