"The northwest Las Vegas Valley has been one of the fastest growing areas over the past decade. Clark County Commissioners will be poised Wednesday to slow that growth. A zone change would designate the Lone Mountain area, about 7,600 acres, as a Rural Neighborhood Preservation Zone, a land-use designation that would make it more difficult to build high-density housing or commercial projects. County planners say the designation would give a layer of protection to the rural zoning and lifestyle that is the core of the community."
