The City of Las Vegas is releasing a draft special area plan for the Kyle Canyon area in the northwestern valley, and the public is invited to provide feedback. The Kyle Canyon area serves as a gateway to both the city, as well as to Mount Charleston and a variety of outdoor recreational opportunities.
After more than a year of public engagement and planning, the city is asking for public input on the final draft of the plan. Those interested can view the plan on the city website and provide comments to masterplan@LasVegasNevada.gov.
Kyle Canyon is one of 16 areas of the city that will receive special area plans, according to the Las Vegas 2050 Master Plan. The Kyle Canyon Plan will guide growth for the next 25 years for new communities, as well as existing neighborhoods, such as Skye Canyon and Sunstone located near the U.S. 95 and Kyle Canyon Road interchange.
The fast-growing Kyle Canyon area is near the Spring Mountains and Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument; it contains undeveloped land that will require significant public infrastructure and public service upgrades, including street improvements, new water service, fire and public safety and a new northwestern regional park.
The full Kyle Canyon Special Area Plan is scheduled to be heard at a Planning Commission meeting on January 14, 2025 (case 24-0615-DIR1). If approved then, the City Council may vote on the plan at a meeting in February.
