As of June, more than 700 people have signed the following petition. Print out a copy, sign it, and mail it to the Commissioners, along with a copy to us. Addresses are listed on the "Taking Action" page of the site.

We the undersigned residents of Blue Diamond and the surrounding area respectfully request the Clark County Planning Commission and Board of County Commissioners deny this zone change request.

In October 1996 you rightfully adopted a master plan governing land use in this area. Thank you! The property in question is rightfuliy designated RC residential countryside permitting a maximum density of one dwelling unit per two acres. The current zoning conforms to the land use guide designation. This zone change will permit a density that is seventeen (17) times the allowable density for this property. Approval of the above referenced zone change is a blatant disregard for the land use guide process.

Any benefit that the applicant is proposing to the water and sewage facilities of the Blue Diamond area is negligible in comparison to the adverse impact of the increased density. This is a nonconforming zone change and the staff recommendation of denial should be followed.
