Planners approve Apex development

LAS VEGAS SUN

The Clark County Planning Commission approved by a 5-0 vote a proposal
to build a new residential community about 15 miles northeast of
downtown Las Vegas.

North Hills would be a master-planned community on about 3,000 acres in
the south part of the Apex Industrial Park. Developers hope the
development will one day be home to 30,000 houses, parks, schools and
light commercial uses.

The planning commission approved the development over the objections of
Clark County planning and air quality staff, the fire department and
officials from Nellis Air Force Base, who fear that the project could
impede their flight paths north of the base.
