Plan-Icon-set-CV1

Goal 1.1: Provide opportunities for diverse housing options to meet the needs of residents of all ages, income levels, and abilities

Encourage the provision of diverse housing types at varied densities and in numerous locations. In particular, seek opportunities to expand “middle” housing options that are less prevalent in unincorporated parts of Clark County, such as duplexes, townhomes, three- and four-plexes, and smaller multi-family complexes.

Concentrate higher-density housing in areas with access to existing or planned high-frequency transit, major employment centers, existing infrastructure, and other services.

Support the integration of detached or attached accessory dwelling units (ADUs) as part of new development and/or in established neighborhoods to support aging-in-place and expand the supply of smaller dwelling units. [See also, Policy 1.4.4, Infill and Redevelopment] 

Encourage housing options that incorporate universal design and visitability principles to facilitate aging-inplace, and accommodation of older residents and others with mobility limitations or disabilities.

Collaborate with local and regional partners on development of programs and resources to prevent residents from becoming homeless and facilitate the provision of expanded housing for vulnerable populations, including the elderly and those transitioning away from homelessness.
