Moapa Residential Development and Water/Fire Infrastructure
B R Cubed wants to rezone 9.19 acres near Moapa Valley Boulevard to very dense RS2 zoning for 82 homes, asking to skip open space, sidewalks, and streetlights. It's a holdover, meaning it was continued from a prior hearing.
North Las Vegas Airport Hangar Leases and Reversion Policies
Up to $50 million in tax-exempt bonds would finance three aircraft storage hangars totaling about 75,000 square feet at Harry Reid International Airport.
Short-Term Rental Regulations and Business Impact
The county is scheduled to consider rewriting its short-term rental rules, including making short-term rentals a conditional commercial use in certain zoning districts. This could shape where Airbnbs and similar rentals can operate in neighborhoods countywide.
Fire Suppression Water Ponds Text Amendment
A proposed text amendment to allow standalone private water bodies for wildfire suppression near national conservation areas sparked intense debate over water conservation and community safety.

The county awarded over $600,000 in federal grant funding to local organizations providing homelessness prevention services and data management.
