Are you planning on improving your property with a commercial or multi-family use? Do you have the proper zoning for that land use? Not always is your property properly zoned for various types of improvements.
Will you need to rezone your property, or do you need a Special Use permit? It is highly recommended to consult with an Architect or Civil Engineer that is experienced in Land Use Application process.
The Zoning Boundary Amendment is often triggered when converting a property from a residential use to commercial, or converting a property from a single family residential use to a multi-family residential use.
Depending on several factors, the process can be fairly easy to almost impossible.
In Nevada, Clark County has established a process for property owners to change their property's current land use to a higher density use or a completely different use.
This process is referred to as a Zone Boundary Amendment or Zone Change; converting from an existing zoning district to another.
There are two types of Zone Changes; conforming and non-conforming.
If the requested zoning is in compliance with the County Land Use Map, then the request is a Conforming Zone Change.
If the request does not, then it is a Non-Conforming Zone Change.
Below is a summary of the process for a Conforming Zone Change.

• Pre-Submittal Appointment - Some Zone changes require a pre-submittal meeting.
  What will trigger this meeting? The main reasons are uses involving hazardous chemicals, explosives, materials or wastes in amounts regulated by the State of Nevada, Planned Unit Developments, Mixed Use Developments, Neighborhood Casinos, High Impact Projects, and Resort Hotels.
