Full Breakdown
Under Title 30, unincorporated Clark County requires street landscaping wherever a public street requires sidewalks per §30.04.08C.5. Detached sidewalks need a 15-foot landscape area split into two 5-foot strips flanking the sidewalk; attached sidewalks need a 6- to 10-foot strip. Frontage must carry one large tree and three shrubs every 30 linear feet, or medium trees every 20 feet, or small trees every 10 feet, using plant species meeting §30.04.01D.5 specifications. No tree may be planted within 10 feet of a streetlight. This governs the Strip's unincorporated Paradise and Winchester townships, not the City of Las Vegas.
Violations & Fines
Noncompliant plans get rejected in site plan review; for nonresidential projects a certificate of occupancy will not issue until a signed certificate confirms all required landscaping under §30.04.01 was installed as approved.
