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.
