Summary

The recommending committee on April 13 recommended approval of Bill 2026‑13 to add a transit‑oriented development (TOD) overlay to LVMC Title 19, aiming to support transit investments and encourage walkable, mixed‑use development along major arterial corridors; the item was scheduled for City Council adoption on May 6, 2026.

The City of Las Vegas Recommending Committee recommended approval on April 13 of Bill 2026‑13, which would create a transit‑oriented development (TOD) overlay in Title 19 of the Las Vegas Municipal Code.

Marco Vlada, Department of Community Development, said the overlay is aligned with the city's 2050 master plan and is intended to support infill and redevelopment along major corridors where regional transit investments are planned or under construction. "TOD is the basis of the city's 2050 master plan and is part of our infill and redevelopment strategy to grow up and not out," he said, describing proposed changes to uses, parking, setbacks, building facades, height, and perimeter landscaping.

Vlada said the overlay would be applied in specific zoning districts and along corridors such as Maryland Parkway, Charleston Boulevard and Boulder Highway, where RTC has identified transit investments. The proposal includes moving parking to the rear of buildings, encouraging mixed uses, and adding standards to improve pedestrian and bicycle access.

Committee members raised constituent concerns about parking overflow and impacts on adjacent residential areas. "The biggest challenges my constituents feel are parking," said Councilman Brian Knudson, adding a broader observation about population growth pressures and neighborhood impacts.

After discussion the recommending committee voted to forward the overlay to the City Council; the committee's action set the item for Council adoption on May 6, 2026.

Next steps: The City Council will consider Bill 2026‑13 at its May 6, 2026 meeting.
