Clark County Board of County Commissioners Zoning Meeting – March 18, 2026

The Clark County Board of County Commissioners held a zoning meeting on March 18, 2026, at 9:00 AM in the Commission Chambers. The meeting addressed routine consent items, multiple public hearings for development proposals, an appeal, and ordinance introductions. Several items were held to future dates. The meeting included public comments from residents and community advocates.

Consent Calendar

• Items 4-14 were approved together in a single motion, including zoning, use permits, waivers, design reviews, plan amendments, and development agreements. Item 7 (WS-25-0872) was approved with an added public works condition: no fencing within the site visibility zone. Item 10 (ZC-25-0904) was withdrawn by the applicant.

Public Comments & Testimony

• Lauren DePrete (spelled D-I-P-R-E-T-E) spoke during the first public comment period, opposing waiver requests to eliminate street landscaping, reduce setbacks, and increase fill heights in the Rural Preservation (RNP) overlay. She argued that the proposed changes would compromise safety for equestrians, reduce climate resilience, and undermine the character of rural neighborhoods. She requested that new construction be limited to single-story to match existing homes.
• Al Rojas commented on a planned rally on March 28, expressing concern about potential vandalism, and noted that the county’s camping ordinance has led to some arrests but repeat offenders are released quickly. He urged coordination with the DA and judges.
• Margaret Coleman spoke during the second public comment period about personal financial matters, requesting assistance with a trust and career change. No board action was taken.
