Clark County officials are reviewing preferred land use alternatives for the 2025-2045 Comprehensive Plan update to meet state-mandated housing and employment capacity targets. The discussion focuses on adjusting Urban Growth Area (UGA) boundaries and modifying zoning codes to increase density by allowing middle housing, such as duplexes and townhouses, in traditionally single-family neighborhoods. Additionally, local city representatives provided input on specific UGA adjustments, advocating for more compact, mixed-use development rather than outward expansion to satisfy their assigned housing and job allocations.

What was said
0:00 >> Good evening and welcome everyone. Calling to order the Clark County Council, Monday, April 27th, 2026. We'll start with the Pledge of Allegiance if you join me in standing. >> I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. And to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all, amen. >> Thank you, and then moving on to the roll call. Michelle? >> Yes. >> Council Young? >> Here. >> Councilor Belcott? >> Present. >> Councilor Fuentes? >> Here. >> Councilor Little? >> Present. >> And Chair Marshall? >> Here. >> Thank you. Okay, before we get started, I have a little explaining to do.
0:58 This is a public hearing on the preferred land use alternative for the comprehensive plan update. The planning department will give a brief overview. We'll open it to public comments and the elected officials have asked to go first and we're going to accommodate their request. And then also, we've had a request from one of our boards and commissions to go following the electeds. And out of courtesy, we'll accommodate that. I think it would just be the Ag Commission and Deeb. So if there are people from those that will represent a position that they have taken, that would be welcome at that time. And then it doesn't mean you get more than three minutes, though. Everybody gets the same three minutes unless, and I think we have a reasonable size crowd that everybody could have their three minutes.
1:56 Unless someone wants to shorten that time or put a time limit on it, we're okay? Great. Okay, with that, I'll turn it over to Oliver and Jose.
2:10 >> Good afternoon, Chair and members of the Clark County Council. Before I start, I will turn it over to the county manager to say a few things.
