Plans for a 3,000-home development overlooking Red Rock Canyon west of Las Vegas have stalled pending federal approval for a roadway to the site.
Clark County commissioners rejected consideration of the preliminary plans Wednesday for the mixed use development that's surrounded on three sides by the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, saying the Bureau of Land Management needs to first decide on an application for a right of way.
Commissioners had approved a timeline in 2011 for the project by Gypsum Resources LLC, stipulating that the federal agency's approval was required before the county would review plans.
The developer submitted a revised application for a right of way in 2017, and it submitted a draft environmental document last January.
