All, 

As you may recall, over the last month we've sent out two industry notices regarding Clark County's NEW comprehensive planning process.

Click to view past industry notices regarding these changes:

The Clark County Department of Comprehensive planning has created a new appointment process which is now available for online and in-person appointments beginning May 15, 2023.

On the Department’s website, you will see a new option of “Book Appointments”. Appointments require a related APR record number and are designed to be scheduled based on a generic listing of project types which are broken down into three “Levels”. Please READ the description of the Levels on the “Schedule Planner Appointment” website or as noted below because the time slots are based on the type of application which in turn relates to the level of planner that can take the appointment.
 
For APRs currently under review, you may continue through the online review process or may opt out and instead schedule an appointment. If you choose to continue to proceed through the online review process, you will be provided with short turn-around times to respond to staff’s comments and requests for revisions. If the stated timeframes are not met, and no communication has been had with the assigned planner, you will be directed to the appointment process. The Department is still working through approximately 400 APRs so your cooperation is greatly appreciated.  
 
They will be accepting a limited number of applications “over the counter” such as, but not limited to, administrative applications (not including Administrative Design Reviews), Extensions of Time, and Applications for Review. Application forms have been updated to indicate which application types require an appointment and which can be accepted “over the counter”. Application forms can be found on the Forms page and applicable checklists can be found on the Current Planning Division page.
