How does the city's growth control ordinance apply to me?
The ordinance, being the Controlled Growth Management Plan (Chapter 41 of Title 11), only affects you if you're planning to build a house that you intend to sell, and not to live in yourself. It also applies to construction of all apartments, multifamily condominiums and hotels. For these requests, contact the City Planner at 702-293-9282 to discuss the procedure for obtaining an allotment. The ordinance also technically applies to owner-builders on newer lots (created since 1996), but these requests are merely counted towards the annual total and can be approved at the staff level.
