Every discipline has its own language. During the review of Clark County s Comprehensive Growth Management Plan you ll be hearing planning terms like infill, concurrency, and urban growth boundary. Here s a short course on what it all means. Affordable housing costs no more than 30 percent of a household s total monthly income. When purchasing a home, affordable housing can also be defined as a home that costs less than 3.1 times annual income.
Buildable land is land still available for development.
This includes all vacant, partially used, or underutilized land zoned for commercial, industrial, or residential use. Parcels intended for public use or lots with limited building potential are not considered in buildable lands. Capital facilities are the basic services that the public sector provides to support land-use developments. These can be services that currently exist or ones that will probably be needed over the 20-year planning period, such as roadways, sidewalks, traffic signals, water systems, schools, parks, recreational facilities, fire protection, law enforcement, public health, education, recreation, and environmental protection. The Capital Facilities Plan is a required part of the comprehensive plan.
