In 1992, Clark County began the Vacant Lands analysis to
determine the potential capacity of urban growth areas to accommodate projected growth
for the next 20 years to the year 2012. County staff met with interested parties from the
development and environmental community to collectively examine criteria to be used to
compute the supply of land available for development within each urban growth boundary.
From the process, a methodology was developed using Clark County's Geographic Information
Systems (GIS) as the primary data source.
Monitoring development capacity within the urban growth boundaries provides an early
warning when the capacity to accommodate future growth becomes critically short. Clark
County is updating its vacant buildable lands to address issues relating to land
consumption and availability. To date, the Vacant Lands analysis is the most accurate
assessment of the capacity within each UGA to accommodate additional growth.
