The
Northeast
County
land use plan has been updated and was adopted by the
Board of County Commissioners at a public hearing on
September 6, 2006
. This plan includes Bunkerville, Moapa,
Moapa
Valley
, and Overton. The major issue for this area is
growth and how to accommodate that growth through good
planning without losing the rural atmosphere.
Laughlin
has held two open houses in the process of updating the
Laughlin land use plan. The first open house on
March 4 gathered suggestions from 150 residents,
business owners and developers. These suggestions
were then implemented into the draft plan which was
presented to 94 members of the public at the second open
house on July 8. These meetings were held at the
Regional
Government
Center
in Laughlin on Saturdays during the day to accommodate
as many interested parties as possible. The issues
being addressed in this area include residential
housing, preservation of the Riverwalk and accommodating
growth while maintaining as much open space as possible.
Public hearings scheduled for the Laughlin land
use plan update are at the Planning Commission on March
6 and at the Board of County Commissioners on March 21.
These meetings will be held in commission chambers at
the
Clark
County
Government
Center
at
500 S. Grand Central Parkway
.
The
Whitney land use plan update process began with an open
house held September 6. More than 50 residents,
business owners and developers attended the evening
meeting. Major issues of concern included improving
transportation connectivity, identifying transit
stations for the MAX bus system expected in 2007, and
making
Boulder Highway
pedestrian friendly with sidewalk installations.
The need for workforce housing and resolving the many
nonconforming zone changes were also discussed.
The land use plan was then reviewed by the Planning
Advisory Group which implemented suggestions gathered at
the first open house and created a draft of the plan
update which will be presented to the public at the
second open house on November 15. Tentative public
hearing dates are scheduled for the Planning Commission
on May 1, and the Board of County Commissioners on May
16.
The
update of the
Northwest
County
land use plan begins with three open houses which will
be held for Indian Springs,
Mt.
Charleston
and Red Rock on Nov. 8th, 13th and 16th.. These
open houses include the communities of Mountain Springs,
Lower
Kyle
Canyon
, Corn Creek, Cold Creek and Blue Diamond. Zone
changes are a major issue in this area.
