11. PUBLIC HEARING
CUP-2023012762 - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
BARAKAT RESIDENCE
APPLICANT: OSAMA & EILEEN BARAKAT
Short-term Mining and Processing (rock crusher) with modification to reduce the
minimum distance to occupied dwelling units from 500 feet to 103 feet, located
at the southwest corner of Foxhall Road and Jessie Road, in the Paradise Hills
Planning Area.
(Minutes/Discussion)
Laura Bratcher, Senior Planner, read a summary of this item and stated staff
recommends denial.
Osama Barakat, 89002, the applicant, displayed site exhibits and provided a
summary of the item.
Chair Jennifer Lewis opened the public hearing, asking if there was anyone
present wishing to speak for or against this item.
The following residents spoke in support of the item if conditions are put in place
to address the hours of crushing, permissible days for crushing, and dust control
measures: Todd Akes, 89002; John Serfilippi, 89002; Andy Hitchcock, 89002.
Robert Orefice, 89002, spoke in support of the item, stating the negative
impacts of noise and the traffic and safety concerns that would arise should the
applicant need to transport the rocks from the property to be crushed and truck
back in are greater than what would exist if on-site crushing was allowed.
Planning Commission Page 19 of 29
Thursday, July 13, 2023 – Minutes
John Marchiano, 89015, representing resident Chris Evans and the Martines
family, spoke in opposition of the item, noting the increased cost to crush the
rocks off-site is not a land use consideration. Following an inquiry from
Commissioner Steve Rice regarding the statement made by a neighbor that
removal of the rocks is a greater safety concern for the neighbors than on-site
crushing, Mr. Marchiano stated Mr. Evans and the Martines family do not agree
with that statement.
There being no one else wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed.
A brief discussion ensued regarding the route plan for the equipment, the
distance to the nearest neighbor and environmental concerns.
Andrew Roether, Planning Manager, explained there has been a recent change
to Development Code regarding rock crushers and this project likely would have
been permissible in the past; however, due to increasing complaints from
residents, the City has updated their Code to start requiring Planning
Commission approval for these type of requests.

denial of CUP-2023012762.

Planning Commission Page 25 of 29
Thursday, July 13, 2023 – Minutes
There being no one wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed.
Following an inquiry from Commissioner Bill Bokelmann regarding the gap in
coverage in the area of the proposed tower, Ms. Tollefson showed an exhibit
depicting the significant increase in coverage at a tower height of 75 feet vs 55
feet.
Responding to a request from Commissioner Rebecca Grismanauskas
regarding obtaining a letter of approval from the Clark County Department of
Aviation (CCDOA), Ms. Tollefson stated the project will also go before the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) for review prior to installation of the tower, noting that
approval from the FAA and FCC would supersede any approval obtained by the
CCDOA.
To further clarify the matter, Andrew Roether, Planning Manager, explained the
role the CCDOA has in these scenarios, stating the CCDOA reviews all Staff
Review and Planning Commission Agendas and if they have concerns with an
item, they will submit that concern in writing for the City to address. Mr. Roether
noted that because the City has not received a response from the CCDOA,
there is a mutual understanding that there is no concern with this request.
Commissioner Eric Humes also shared his experience with the FAA and the
FCC, noting that they are very involved when proposed items reach a certain
height limit, and if they had concerns, the FAA and FCC would have conveyed
those concerns to the City.
In response to a question from Commissioner Eric Humes regarding the need
for additional cellular service in the area, Ms. Tollefson and Mr. Roether both
explained the extensive work that goes into finding a suitable location for the
tower and the challenges they are facing as older technology needs to be
upgraded and replaced. Mr. Roether also stated staff will continue to work with
all cellular providers to ensure the increased need for service is addressed while
maintaining proper aesthetics. He noted the increased height of this tower will
allow for multiple carriers, thus stopping the need for additional towers in the
same area.
(Motion)
Commissioner Dave Beason introduced a motion recommending final approval
of CUP-2023012521, subject to findings of fact and conditions.
FINDINGS OF FACT
A. The proposed use complies with all applicable provisions of this Code
unless otherwise expressly stated.
B. There is a need for the proposed use at the proposed location.
