Current and Future Major Updates to Clark County's Lone Mountain, South County and Enterprise Land Use Plans
This alert is to advise clients of the Firm of the impending major updates to several Land Use Plans
in Clark County. As you know, Clark County is divided into planning areas. The land use map
for each planning area generally defines in broad categories the uses for land within that planning
area. Major updates to each planning area are done approximately every five years. The major update
process gives land owners the opportunity to request a change to the land use category currently
assigned to its property. It is important to note that a moratorium against nonconforming zone
changes will be imposed for two years after ratification of the major amendments to the land use
plans.
Presently, the County is in the process of a major update to theLoneMountainplanning
area. This planning area is generally located in the northwest part of the Las Vegas Valley along US
95 and shown in more detail here.
A community workshop regarding the major update to the Lone Mountain land use plan was held Tuesday,
March 4, 2008 from 5-8 pm at Mountain Crest Community Center. The March 4thcommunity workshop
unveiled the draft plan and residents and property owners were permitted to offer comments and suggestions
to the draft plan. There will be one additional community workshop and then the plan will be considered
through the public hearing process.
The public hearing process includes the following steps:
- Review, comment and recommendation by the Lone Mountain Citizens
- Advisory Council
- Review, comment and recommendation by the Clark County Planning Commission
- Review, comment and vote by the Clark County Board of County Commissioners
- Confirmation by the Clark County Planning Commission
In addition to the Lone Mountain planning area, the County has commenced with a major update to the
land use plan for the South County planning area. This planning area is generally located in the
southeastern part of the County and shown in more detail by clicking on this link- http://gisgate.co.clark.nv.us/gisplot_pdfs/cp/scplu.pdf.
The South County planning area includes Sloan, Sandy Valley, Goodsprings, Jean, Stateline (Primm),
Nelson, Searchlight and CalNevAri. The update to the South County planning area is not as far along
in the process as Lone Mountain. The County is working on the draft plan and in the near future will
commence with community workshops. A community workshop will be held in Searchlight, in Boulder City
and at the Clark County Government Center.
In the summer of 2008, the County will commence with a major update to the land use plan for the Enterprise
planning area. This planning area is generally located in the southwest part of the Las Vegas Valley along I 15, I 215 and SR 160 (Blue Diamond) and shown in more detail by clicking here.
The process will follow the same steps as the Lone Mountain plan, with the exception of the location of the community workshops and the Enterprise Town Board reviewing, commenting and making a recommendation on the updated plan to the Clark County Planning Commission.
