- Advanced Planning section is responsible for providing information and analysis to support the City priority of well-planned quality growth over the long-term for the residents. The Comprehensive Plan, combined with other related land use studies and regional planning efforts, provides the framework to successfully implement strategies for growth related issues within the City. In addition to planning for the City’s future, this section works closely with local, state and federal jurisdictions on challenges that transcend governmental jurisdictional boundaries such as education, health care, natural environment, recreation and culture, transportation and sustainability. Advanced Planning prepares population estimates and forecasts, conducts analyses in support of a wide range of projects, and maintains demographic data from a variety of sources. Advanced Planning facilitates the park planning and development activities for the City.
The mission of the Planning and Zoning division is to enhance the quality of life for each North Las Vegas resident and business by fostering the implementation of creative ideas and innovative programs. Each division concentrates on unique aspects of community life.
