EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The intent of the Land Use and Rural Neighborhoods Preservation Element is to inventory and classify the types of land uses in the city and serve as a comprehensive plan for the most desirable utilization of land. It also addresses the acquisition and use of land that is under federal management, and it shows general plans to preserve the character and density of rural neighborhoods. The Land Use and Rural Neighborhoods Preservation Element is framed by goals, objectives and policies that are intended to guide the growth and development of the city of Las Vegas. These policies reflect a vision for redevelopment of existing areas, preservation of rural areas and planned growth for new areas that takes into account the needs of area citizens. The policies will be implemented through existing land use plans, master development plans and design standards, as well as the Municipal Code. In recent years the city has increased efforts to foster the development of walkable urban communities. In contrast to the predominant suburban, auto-oriented development pattern, these areas typically feature a mix of denser residential products with convenient services nearby or in the same development. Streets are designed to accommodate pedestrians and bicyclists in addition to automobiles. The establishment of a mixed use district and a transit oriented land use category have provided the opportunity for development of these types of projects. Land use categories used in the city’s general land use plans and various special area plans and master planned community plans are presented in table format. Descriptions of each category follow the tables. About 35 percent of the city’s land area is planned for residential purposes, approximately six percent is planned for commercial purposes and about two percent is planned for industrial uses. These figures do not include the master planned areas of Town Center and Summerlin. Although the area planned for industrial uses is relatively small, approximately 46 percent of this land is still undeveloped. General Plan Amendments and Major Modifications are the mechanisms used to modify the Master Plan and special area plans. A brief overview of the application and approval process is given.
