Developers seek delay in Apex project
Air quality, safety issues remain

By HUBBLE SMITH
REVIEW-JOURNAL

The North Hills residential project proposed for the Apex industrial
area shows how escalating land values and population growth in Las Vegas
Valley are driving development in places that were previously considered
uninhabitable.

The project had been placed on today's agenda for the Clark County
Commission, the concept having been previously approved by the planning
commission. However, the developer has requested to hold the item until
Nov. 20, after the elections.

"The overall response to our plans from community leaders, home builders
and elected officials is very encouraging," said Adam Titus, chief
executive officer of Industrial Properties Development, which owns close
to 10,000 acres in the area.

"However, because this project is comprehensive and large in scope, we
believe it is prudent to take this additional time to properly and
thoroughly address specific issues and concerns raised in the Clark
County Comprehensive Planning report before we continue our pursuit of
approval for these plans."

Among the concerns expressed about the development is its proximity to
Apex Industrial Park and Nellis Air Force Base.
