Training Sessions Scheduled on New Development Code

Submitted by Adam Candee on Saturday, April 9th, 11:13 am

The City of Las Vegas will hold two customer training sessions focused on the city’s newly adopted Unified Development Code.

The sessions will enable customers to stay current as well as ask questions about the code before it becomes effective on May 1, 2011. The one-hour sessions will each be held at 5 p.m. at the new Development Services Center, located at 333 N. Rancho Drive, in the third-floor Charleston Conference Room on Tuesday, April 19, and Tuesday, April 26.

On March 16, the Las Vegas City Council adopted a Unified Development Code (UDC) for the city of Las Vegas. The UDC replaces the existing Subdivision Regulations (Title 18) and Zoning Code (Title 19).

The UDC incorporates more graphic-oriented elements, resulting in a document that is more user-friendly while eliminating cross-referencing issues, contradictions and duplication of information.
