Law In accordance with Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) Clark County is required to prepare a master plan “for the physical development of the city, county or region” (Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) §278.150). To help in the physical development of the County the master plan may include a variety of subjects that range from Community Design to Transportation. In December 1983, the Board of County Commissioners adopted the Clark County Comprehensive Plan, which established a policy for separate town plans. This document is a land use plan for the Enterprise planning area and consists of policies and maps, which provide for general development patterns. The Plan is in accordance with N.R.S. §278.160 (1) (f) and is a part of the Land Use Element of the Clark County Comprehensive Plan. Background The Enterprise planning area consists of approximately 42,751 acres or 66.7 square miles. It is generally bounded on the north by the unincorporated Town of Spring Valley, on the east by the City of Henderson and the unincorporated Town of Paradise, on the south by the South County planning area and on the west by the Northwest County planning area. Blue Diamond Highway (State Route 160), Clark County Route 215 and Interstate 15 serve as the major transportation corridors within the Enterprise planning area. As of July 2014, the Enterprise area had approximately 176,567 residents. Enterprise has experienced many changes in the past several years, with considerable new residential development. There is still a demand for commercial and employment base development in the area. Purpose of the Plan The Enterprise Land Use Plan is a guide for decisions by the Enterprise Town Advisory Board (TAB), Planning Commission (PC), and Board of County Commissioners (BCC) concerning growth and development. Additionally, it serves as a resource for the private sector in making informed decisions about existing development and potential locations and characteristics of future development. This information is conveyed through existing conditions and specific land- use categories and maps. The Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan consists of goals and policies used in the development of the land use plan. The plan compliments other elements in the Clark County Comprehensive Plan.

The EUD coordinates with the Las Vegas Redevelopment Agency (RDA) on day-to-day operations, economic development, job creation and long-term strategic goals. Las Vegas Redevelopment Agency The Las Vegas Redevelopment Agency (RDA) promotes the redevelopment of downtown Las Vegas and surrounding older commercial districts by working with developers, property owners and the community to accomplish beneficial revitalization efforts, create jobs and eliminate urban decay. The city of Las Vegas currently has two designated redevelopment areas. Redevelopment Area 1 encompasses 3,948 acres. The area roughly includes the greater downtown Las Vegas area east of I-15, south of Washington Avenue, north of Sahara Avenue and west of Maryland Parkway.

A new Redevelopment Area 2 (RDA 2) was officially adopted during the Aug. 15, 2012 meeting of the Las Vegas City Council. The RDA 2 designation gives the Las Vegas Redevelopment Agency the powers to redevelop, rehabilitate and revitalize this area.

    ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FHWA-NV-EA 07.02 EA: 73215 October 2008 Federal Highway Administration and Nevada Department of Transportation in cooperation with the Bureau of Land Management Interstate 15 South Corridor Improvement Sloan Road to Tropicana Avenue Clark County, Nevada Alternative), the existing environment that could be affected by the project, the potential impacts from each of the alternatives, and the proposed mitigation measures. NDOT, with FHWA, is proposing to improve 12 miles of the I-15 corridor from Sloan Road to Tropicana Avenue, including Las Vegas Boulevard South between Sloan Road and Sunset Road. Improvements proposed for I-15 consist of expanding the freeway to a ten-lane facility (five general purpose lanes in each direction) from Sloan Road to Blue Diamond Road, and a ten-lane facility (five general purpose lanes in each direction) with collector-distributor (C-D) lanes from Blue Diamond Road to Tropicana Avenue. The I-15 South corridor includes Las Vegas Boulevard South, which would be improved to a six-lane facility (three lanes in each direction) from Sloan Road to Sunset Road, and separated by an open median designated for future use by the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada’s (RTC) Regional Fixed Guideway system. New service interchanges are proposed along I-15 at Bermuda Road, Starr Avenue, and Cactus Avenue; a reconstructed interchange at Sloan Road; a reconstructed overpass at Warm Springs Road;1 and new overpasses at Pebble Road and Sunset Road. Improvements would be made to the Blue Diamond Road (SR 160) interchange and the I-15/I-215 Beltway system interchange.
