Goal 5.2: Support continued improvements to and expansion of commercial airport operations in Clark County

Minimize encroachment on operations at existing public-use airports throughout Clark County (as listed in Section 4) by restricting the expansion of land uses within the Airport Environs Overlay District (AEOD) and Airport Airspace Overlay District (AAOD) that are incompatible due to noise, safety, and other concerns, according to, at a minimum, guidance provided by federal agencies. [See also, Section 3: Growth Framework, Airport Environs] 

Continue to work with the BLM and other federal, state, and regional partners to plan for the development and conflict-free operation of the Southern Nevada Supplemental Airport (SNSA). Ensure future development on and in the vicinity of the airport site does not conflict with the compatibility area, retention basins, use of the transportation/utility corridor, or long-term plans for the facility and other potential aviation infrastructure. 

Support long-term planning strategies for future aviation facilities needed to support the growing demand for alternative air transportation services, such as drones, new forms of air taxi services, or the non-urban heliport.
