Commissioner Eric Humes read the following disclosure statement: “My sister-
in-law and nephew previously worked for a vendor that provided entertainment
services at the PKWY Tavern location. They left the vendor’s employ about 6-9
months ago for no adverse reason, and the vendor’s ownership has since
changed. Therefore, I do not believe that my sister-in-law and nephew’s prior
employment for a contractor at the PKWY Tavern will materially affect my
independence of judgment in considering this matter, and I don’t believe that it
would affect the judgment of a reasonable person in my situation. I’ve been
advised by counsel to make this disclosure pursuant to the Nevada Ethics
Laws, but that I do not need to abstain from deliberating or voting on this item.”
Commissioner Steven Rice read the following disclosure and abstention
statement: “My law firm represents PKWY Management and its principals, an
affiliated entity of PKWY Marks, LLC, the applicant on this item. My firm has or
may perform work related to the property at issue in this application. Given the
scope of my law firm’s representation of this client, the independence of
judgment of a reasonable person could be materially affected by my
commitment in my private capacity to the interests of my law firm and to this
client. Consequently, I have been advised by counsel that I should make this
disclosure pursuant to the Nevada Ethics Laws, and that I should abstain from
matters involving PKWY Marks, LLC.”
Cassandra Lupo, 89014, representing the applicant, concurred with staff’s
recommendation and the conditions of approval, with the exception of condition
number six (6) which she requested be revised to allow the live outdoor

Chair Jennifer Lewis opened the public hearing, asking if there was anyone
present wishing to speak for or against this item.
Christiane Wilson, 89014, spoke in opposition of the item and said the noise can
be heard from inside her home. She stated the facility has not upheld the time
constraints in the past.
Responding to questions from Chair Jennifer Lewis regarding any violations or
complaints about the property, Andrew Roether, Planning Manager, stated there
was a code enforcement case stemming from a noise violation complaint that
has been attached to the backup for the item.
There being no one else wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed.
Planning Commission Page 17 of 32
Thursday, October 12, 2023 - Minutes
A discussion ensued regarding the distance to nearby homes, changes the

It was the consensus of the Commission that the live entertainment hours
remain unchanged with 10:00 p.m. being the cutoff, and that the applicant return
for review within three months.
