Summary

The council accepted the report of services and moved forward with a public-hearing step to annex about 38.48 acres of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land near Via Inspirada and Via Nobila; staff noted a BLM letter of no objection and explained statutory notice and timelines under NRS 268.584 and NRS 268.590.

The Henderson City Council accepted the report for services and moved forward with the public-hearing step required for annexing two Bureau of Land Management parcels totaling about 38.48 acres along the city's western boundary.

Brian Podmedic of the Department of Public Works told council the annexation covers two parcels—12.79 acres at Via Inspirada and Las Vegas Boulevard and 25.69 acres at Via Nobila and Las Vegas Boulevard—and that the land is currently vacant with no utilities. Podmedic said the BLM is the landowner, that the city has a letter of no objection from the BLM, and that ownership will not change if the property is annexed; rather the parcels would be added to the city's limits, enabling the city to facilitate future interchange and infrastructure improvements.

Podmedic referenced the statutory steps under Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) 268.584 (notice of intent) and NRS 268.590 (public hearing requirement), explained that the report for services was made available at least 20 days before the hearing, and said that if the single record property owner does not protest within 15 days the council can adopt the extension of city limits within 90 days.

No members of the public spoke on the annexation at the hearing and the council voted to accept the report and proceed as allowed under state law.

Next steps: If there is no protest from the record property owner within the statutory period, the council may return to adopt an ordinance to extend city limits and proceed with required service and infrastructure planning.
