SECTION 2: Chapter 16, Section 040, Subsection E, of Title 17 of the North Las Vegas Municipal Code is hereby amended as follows:

E. Purpose Statements for Residential Districts

1. Open Land District (O-L) The purpose of the Open Land (O-L) district is to provide for the development of single-family detached dwellings and directly-related complementary uses at a very low-density. Secondary agricultural activities are also allowed. The district is intended to be strictly residential in character with a minimum of disturbances due to traffic or overcrowding. This district is established for those vast areas within the City that are not fully developable due to lack of utilities and services. As utilities and services become available, reclassification of lands within the district is anticipated in accordance with the City’s master plan.

2. Ranch Estates District (R-E) The purpose of the Ranch Estates (R-E) district is to provide for the development of single-family detached dwellings and directly-related complementary uses at a low-density. The district is intended to be strictly residential in character with a minimum of disturbances due to traffic or overcrowding.

3. Ranch Estates Limited District (R-EL) The purpose of the Ranch Estates Limited (R-EL) district is to provide for the development of single-family detached dwellings and directly-related complementary uses at a low-density. The district is intended to be strictly residential in character with a minimum of disturbances due to traffic or overcrowding.

4. Single-Family Low Density Residential District (R-1) The purpose of the Single-Family Low Density (R-1) district is to provide for the development of single-family detached dwellings, along with directly related complementary uses, at a moderately low density of 4.5 to 6.0 dwelling units per acre. The district is intended to be strictly residential in character with a minimum of disturbances due to traffic or overcrowding. The R-1 district is designed to implement the single-family low land use category of the North Las Vegas Comprehensive Plan and allow for the economical use of land while creating an attractive, functional, and safe residential environment.

5. Single-Family Compact Lot Residential District (R-CL) The purpose of the Single-Family Compact Lot Residential (R-CL) district is to provide for the development of single-family detached dwellings and directly-related complementary uses at a density of 7.99 units per acre or less. The district is intended to be strictly residential in character with a minimum of disturbances due to traffic or overcrowding.

6. Single-Family Medium Density Residential District (R-2) The purpose of the Single-Family Medium Density Residential (R-2) district is to provide for moderate density housing in attached single-family and multi-family structures or a combination thereof, along with directly related complementary uses, at a density of 6.01 to 13.0 dwelling units per acre. The R-2 district is designed to implement the single-family medium land use category of the North Las Vegas Comprehensive Plan and allow for the economical use of land while creating an attractive, functional, and safe residential environment.

7. Multi-Family Residential District (R-3) The purpose of the Multi-Family Residential (R-3) district is to provide for high density (approximately 25 dwelling units per acre) housing in multifamily structures and directly related complementary uses. The R-3 district is designed to allow highly economical use of land while creating an attractive, functional, and safe residential environment.

8. High Density Residential District (R-4) The purpose of the High Density Residential (R-4) district is to provide for very high-density (up to 50 dwelling units per acre) housing in multiple-family structures and directly-related complementary uses. The R-4 district is designed to allow highly economical use of land located near designated rapid transit nodes or redevelopment areas while creating an attractive, functional, and safe residential environment.

SECTION 3: Chapter 16, Section 040, Subsection J, of Title 17 of the North Las Vegas Municipal Code is hereby amended as follows:

J. Purpose Statements for Obsolete Districts

1. General Service Commercial District (C-3) The purpose of the General Service Commercial (C-3) district is to provide for intensive, retail or service operations that generally require large amounts of land for their success. These services should be located in concentrated service areas with good accessibility for the public but should be carefully buffered from other uses and visibly buffered from arterial streets.

2. Heavy Industrial District (M-3) The purpose of the Heavy Industrial (M-3) district is to provide for the development of intense activities that, because of the nature of their operation, appearance, traffic generation, or emission, would not be compatible with most land uses in other zone districts, but which, nevertheless, are necessary activities in the City.

SECTION 4: Chapter 20, Section 010, Table 17.20-1, of Title 17 of the North Las Vegas Municipal Code is hereby amended by replacing the existing table in its entirety with the following:

a. Solar-Oriented Residential Lots In subdivisions subject to these provisions, at least 20 percent of lots shall be solar-oriented.
