All,
At the 8/17/22 Clark County Zoning Commission meeting, the Board set a public hearing for the attached draft ordinance for September 7, 2022.
At its July 20, 2022 meeting the Board directed staff to draft an ordinance modifying the procedures for Zone Boundary Amendments. Any proposed zone boundary amendment that is not consistent with a Planning Area Map must now process a concurrent Land Use Plan Amendment (rather than a NCZC).
Changing the zoning as well as the underlying planned land use will bring the County in line with the other local jurisdictions.
The ordinance includes a provision that any application pre-review zone boundary amendments inconsistent with the Master Plan must hold a neighborhood meeting prior to the effective date of this ordinance. Any pre-reviews not meeting this deadline shall be required to process a plan amendment concurrent with the zone change request.
In other words, as discussed in this week's CP&I Committee, for all projects moving through the pre-application submittal process that do not have neighborhood meetings publicly noticed prior to the ordinance's anticipated effective date of September 22nd, you will have to go through the new General Plan Amendment/Master Plan amendment process rather than the non-conforming zone change process.
If you have any questions on how this may affect your current projects, please reach out directly to Clark County staff.
