Las Vegas City Commission Minutes, November 20, 1957 to December 2, 1959, lvc000011-449

location was selected by a group from a depositors insurance corporation from Washington who were not concerned with the growth of our city and that they could not care less if this was a traffic problem at this corner. She stated that she must take exception to Mr. Ham's suggestion that this would not complicate traffic and that it was her opinion that a drive-in bank would make it worse. His Honor Mayor Pro Tem Whipple asked if there were any other statements to be made and Mr. Perry stated that he was not familiar with the proceedings of this Board but that they had gotten along without this bank for many years and would like to get a postponement so people in the neighborhood could know what is happening. He stated that he was not at the first meeting of the Planning Commission as he did not under­stand the meaning of the tract letter he received and that it meant very little to him. He asked, if possible, to have a postponement of this rezoning. Mayor Pro Tem Whipple answered that he did not know of any great benefit to be derived from a postponement and that there had been considerable in the papers and much discussion about it. Commissioner Fountain added that there had been one public hearing and this matter had been before the Planning Commission on two occasions. Commissioner Fountain moved that the application of M. S. McCoy for the reclassification of property located at the northeast corner of West Charleston and Rancho Road from R-E to C-1 be approved subject to the following conditions, and City Attorney instructed to prepare the necessary ordinance amendment: 1. That the property be used strictly for the proposed use of a drive-in branch bank. 2. That the building conform to all City Ordinances and building codes including setbacks, landscaping, signs, traffic and parking facilities, etc. Commissioner Whipple stated that he would like to vacate the chair to his colleague, Commissioner Sharp. He commented that not very long ago there was an application for a service station on this comer and he believed they would continue to get applications for this property and that he could not help but think that a development of this type would be much more desirable than a service station. He further stated that perhaps this would be a solution at least to an end to this matter continually coming before the Board for rezoning for different purposes. He stated it was his opinion that this property would never be suitable for residential, for which it is now zoned, and that in a lot of these matters some feel they would be beneficial and some feel they would not. He added that there was not a full board present but this could not be helped due to resignations and elections; therefore, he stated that he would second the motion, and it was carried by the following vote: Commissioner Fountain and His Honor Mayor Pro Tem Whipple voting aye; noes, none. Commissioner Sharp stated that his firm has done business in the past for the Bank of Nevada and is doing this bank; therefore, he passed his vote. Absent: Mayor C. D. Baker.
