Background

According to the Charter Review Commission's amendment proposal (26-07), the county would have to publish a data-driven public analysis of how proposed changes to land use or construction codes could affect land supply and construction costs before adopting them.

The proposal states the analysis must use transparent assumptions and methods generally accepted by planning and housing professionals, and must be paid for from the county's general fund rather than development-related fees such as permit, impact or mitigation fees.

Its sponsors describe the intent as making sure possible effects on housing affordability are evaluated before rules change; the Commission voted 8–7 on July 8, 2026 to send the amendment to the ballot.

Put on the ballot by Clark County Charter Review Commission, 8–7, July 8, 2026 (Resolution No. 26-07).
