Project Overview
HOSAP Implementation
Phase 2 - Multi-family, Manufactured Home Park & Regulated Affordable Housing Strategies
The county is currently working on phase 2 of this project. Code amendments will be proposed as part of the 2025 Comprehensive Plan Update project and address issues such as:
- Consolidating the number of multifamily zones;
- Proposing changes to the allowed uses, required amenity areas, and parking standards within the multifamily zones;
- Employing protections for manufactured home parks including changes to comprehensive plan policies and the addition of a new MHP overlay zone within unincorporated urban growth areas. The purpose of the overlay is to prioritize MHP uses and limit other residential uses to reduce redevelopment pressure; and
- Allowing STEP housing (Emergency Shelters, Transitional Housing, Emergency Housing, and Permanent Supportive Housing) and Co-living housing (a form of multifamily living with individual private ‘sleeping units’ that may or may not contain private bathrooms and kitchenettes and shared common kitchens and bathrooms).
The implementation process included public involvement to garner feedback on proposed code language including review and feedback on code concepts and potential code language from the Technical Housing Code Forum. Forum meetings include participation from members of the HOSAP Project Advisory Group, Clark County Planning Commission, and Development and Engineering Advisory Board who have experience with Title 40 and/or housing development regulations. More details regarding forum meetings, including the meeting materials, are provided in the meeting grid below.
