The Enterprise Town Advisory Board recommended denial on a package of items for a proposed Community Land Trust (CLT) neighborhood, known as Cactus Trails, which would have placed 210 single‑family homes on roughly 20.1 acres north of Cactus Avenue and east of Buffalo Drive.

Bob Grownauer, presenting for the project, said the CLT model separates ownership of the land (retained by the CLT) from the home, with ownership opportunities targeted to working families and HUD‑certified homebuyer education required for purchasers. The county played a short video summarizing the CLT concept and said the project is intended to provide long‑term affordable for‑sale housing rather than rentals.

Public comment at length opposed the project on multiple grounds: overcrowding in Mountain’s Edge schools, impacts to emergency response, loss of property values and character in surrounding master‑planned communities, potential long‑term maintenance and management questions for a county‑managed ground‑lease model, and perceived insufficient neighborhood notice. Dozens of residents spoke; common themes included that Mountain’s Edge already has high density nearby, that the CLT agreement limits resale equity and places restrictions on home sales and parking, and that infrastructure (schools, fire, public works) would be stressed without firm commitments to new public facilities.

At the advisory board meeting members discussed design, egress, parking, and whether the parcel’s land‑use designation made compact‑neighborhood density appropriate. After deliberation the board voted to recommend denial of the plan amendment, zone change, waivers, planned unit development and tentative map (items 18–22). Votes on the plan amendment and zone change were recorded as denials in the transcript (the plan amendment vote recorded as a denial and the zone change denial carried). The board’s motion sequence closed the planning portion of the evening.

Why it matters: the proposal was framed by the county as a pilot to expand homeownership access via a CLT model. Opponents said the project would reduce surrounding property values and overload neighborhood infrastructure; proponents described it as a way to provide workforce homeownership in a region with a housing supply gap.

What’s next: the advisory board’s denial will be considered by Clark County planners and the commission in subsequent hearings. The county will hold further hearings and may present additional technical materials; final decisions will rest with county bodies and any implementing agreements around the CLT program.
