The open house was held at the Clark County Library to accommodate as many people as possible.  County planning staff gathered input from residents, business owners and developers to update the Winchester/Paradise land use plan.  A Planning Advisory Group implemented previously proposed changes into this updated concept plan.

The Winchester/Paradise update is the third to take place since the board adopted a new ordinance in 2003 to make master plans more reliable.  Updates to the Spring Valley and Enterprise land use plans were adopted in 2004.  The entire update process takes about 12 months.  Over the next five years, most of the unincorporated county’s 11 master plans will undergo updates. Citizen participation is considered a crucial link in the process.

At the open house, county planners explained how the update process works and how information gathered at the open house will be worked into the updated master plan. Recommendations will then be forwarded to the Comprehensive Planning Steering Committee, the Town Advisory Boards, the Planning Commission and eventually the Board of County Commissioners.  

To get more information about the update process, visit Comprehensive Planning’s website at www.accessclarkcounty.com . The department has a map posted online showing the county’s 11 land use areas and a tentative schedule showing a timetable for updates.  To contact planners working on this update call (702) 455-4314.
