DEVELOPMENT ANALYSIS

The purpose of the Development Analysis section is to blend the information and/or constraints identified in the Inventory section with acceptable ski industry planning and design parameters. Specifically, the constraints imposed by climate, surficial geology, topographic features, natural hazards, forest cover, existing development and visual quality objectives have "shrunk" the overall size and development potential of the area.

The Las Vegas Ski and Snowboard Master Plan development will avoid areas with a high concentration of sensitive species host plants, as outlined in the Conservation Agreement for the Spring Mountains National Recreation Area and the Clark County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan.
