Narrative Summary:
After more than two decades of record population growth, the City of Las Vegas has determined the need to establish an open space master plan for the Northwest region to balance growth and development with conservation of native lands and rural character that is historic to this part of the City. The primary goal of the Open Space Plan is to “Improve the quality of life and community character of northwest Las Vegas with a well planned system of interconnected open spaces, greenways, trails, parks and protected landscapes. And achieve an optimal, cost effective sustainable implementation and management of open space resources.” (See Figure 1)

The purpose of the Plan is to protect non-programmed and programmed open space which in the future can be devoted to 1) the preservation of natural resources; 2) outdoor recreation; 3) preservation of historic and cultural property; 4) protection of scenic landscapes; and 5) protection of public health, safety, and welfare.
