Property owner initiated plan amendment (Annual Review) process

The Annual Review process allows property owners to request changes to their property’s comprehensive plan and zoning designations. These changes could allow property owners to use their property for activities not currently permitted under its existing designation.

Once an Annual Review application has been submitted, staff reviews the proposal and provides a recommendation to the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission reviews and provides a recommendation to the Clark County Council. The County Council holds a hearing on each application for review and issues a final decision.
