  • Maryland Parkway Corridor
    MARYLAND PARKWAY CORRIDOR TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT Existing Conditions and Needs Assessment April 27th, 2020 Foreword The Maryland Parkway Corridor Existing Conditions and Needs Assessment was developed in early 2020 prior to the broader spread of COVID-19 and the declaration of a global pandemic. As such, the report accurately reflects the conditions that existed within the study area prior to March 2020, but does not necessarily reflect the existing conditions or the “new normal” that is expected as the Las Vegas Valley, the nation and the globe emerge from the current crisis. Moving forward, it will be critical to supplement the observations and findings included within this report with observations, data and community input with regards to how behavior, public health provisions, and market conditions will be different over the coming months. The TOD Plans will also need to make assessments of what changes are likely to be temporary and what shifts may permanently impact how we live, work and play in this important corridor.

    ONE TROP, LLC Marvin Lipschultz October 6, 2015 Jeff Lerud, P.E., CPM Senior Project Manager State of Nevada Department of Transportation 1263 S. Stewart St. Carson City, NV 89712 Re: One Trop, LLC 3111 W. Tropicana Ave. Las Vegas, NV APN#: 162-29-101-019 Dear Mr. Lerud: Pursuant to our meeting with you and the engineers at the Hampton Inn we are making a formal response to the proposed I-15/Tropicana Intersection conceptual plans. After reviewing your conceptual plans and overlaying the property lines, it shows our property is being reduced by over 30% in size. Moreover, we are losing a huge part of the south half. We are truly surprised why NDOT would not choose to contact us prior to starting any plans to get our input and find out what we have planned for the site. Prior to any notification from NDOT we have entered into a long-term 60-year commercial land lease to develop the property. The property is zoned H-1, MUD-1, Gaming Overlay. In the past we have had an unlimited gaming license in place and with the new development, it is preliminary, but will have a high-rise, full service hotel/casino/resort with unlimited gaming, race and sports book. In addition, and prior to any notice from NDOT we have entered into a long-term flag and management agreement. NDOT’s proposed conceptual plans make it impossible to develop our property to its highest and best use, and if implemented would render the entire site useless. Your conceptual design poses several problems to our development.
