2. Current Conditions of Study Area RTC SR-160 Corridor Study Las Vegas, has recently developed land use policies – both through the Town Planning process and more innovative land use tools – that reflect many of the basic principles of smart growth. The city of Las Vegas has designated North 5 th Street as a high density, mixed use corridor focused around station catchment areas of the planning fixed guideway system. Clark County has established Ordinance 30. 48 Part J, which sets forth the basic provisions of the Mixed Use Overlay District. According to Section 30.48.700, the purpose of the Mixed Use Overlay District is to: Encourage a diversity of compatible land uses, including a mixture of residential with at least one or more of the following: commercial, office, educational, institutional, and other appropriate urban uses. The Overlay provides a mechanism to encourage new housing and innovative urban design that is less dependent on automobile transit and can be used to revitalize older commercial corridors and increase opportunities for infill housing. The Mixed Use Overlay District consists of four distinct subdistricts, as shown in the Mixed Use Overlay District map (Exhibit 2-6). Each district has specific development standards and design criteria consistent with community goals, including intensity and density considerations for the appropriate urban form. The four districts include: MUD-1 – Most intense urban form. The MUD-1 subdistrict is intended to permit a highly concentrated and intense development of mixed residential, commercial, employment, and recreational uses typical of high intensity central business districts where existing high-rise, mid-rise, and high density uses already exist. MUD-1 is characterized by a highly developed pedestrian network and access to a combination of transportation modes, such as high frequency bus service, light rail, monorail, freeway, and other rapid transit modes of transportation. MUD-2 – Most intense suburban form. The MUD-2 subdistrict is designed to be nodal, permits a highly concentrated mixture of low-rise to high-rise (up to 100 feet) residential, commercial, employment and recreational uses typical of high density suburban areas, and may be used to transition between MUD-1 and less intense land uses. MUD-3 – Moderately intense suburban form. The MUD-3 subdistrict is intended to permit a moderately concentrated mixture of low-rise and mid-rise residential, commercial, employment, and recreational uses within suburban areas and is designed for areas transitioning from higher intensity to lower intensity mixed uses. MUD-3 may also be established at freeway interchanges, the intersections of 2-10

Current Conditions of Study Area RTC SR-160 Corridor Study arterials, and along high frequency transit corridors where a higher intensity mixed use may not be appropriate due to adjoining planned land uses MUD-4 – Least intense suburban form. The MUD-4 subdistrict is intended to permit a less concentrated mixture of low-rise residential, commercial, employment, and recreational uses typical of medium to low density areas and is designed for areas transitioning from higher intensity mixed uses to suburban and single-family development. MUD-4 may also be established at the intersection of arterial streets and along transit corridors where a higher intensity mixed use may not be appropriate due to adjoining planned land uses. In addition to satisfying the MUD subdivision expectations, all proposed developments are also evaluated in terms of several additional criteria, including: Transitioning Considerations – All mixed use developments shall incorporate appropriate bulk and use transitioning measures along the development’s perimeter to achieve compatibility with existing development on adjacent properties. Pedestrian Orientation – Proposed developments are also encouraged to incorporate pedestrian orientation on the project’s overall design. Design and Development Standards – Applications for mixed use projects must meet development standards, including the residential proximity standards. Density bonuses require special use permit approval with public hearings before the Commission and the Board. The provision also includes a Mixed Use Development Incentive, which includes a list of incentives and density bonuses to encourage uses capable of producing a sustainable community and addressing community housing needs. The boundary of Clark County’s Mixed Use Overlay District includes the Blue Diamond corridor along SR-160. Between Hualapai Way and Durango Drive, the Overlay District is designated MUD-3 and MUD-4, which reflect Moderately intense suburban form and Least intense suburban form, respectively. Between Durango and Rainbow Boulevard, the Overlay District is designated MUD-4, Moderately intense suburban form. 2-11
