Title 19 grants density bonuses, reduced parking, and height incentives to projects committing units to affordable or senior housing, in line with Nevada statutory framework.
Las Vegas allows residential projects that voluntarily restrict a share of units to households earning below regional median income to receive density bonuses above the base zoning. The bonus typically allows additional units per acre and may waive certain setback or parking standards. Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 278 frames local authority to incentivize affordable housing. Projects must record covenants ensuring rent restrictions for at least 30 years. The city aligns density bonuses with TOD overlays so projects near transit stack incentives. Applications go through Planning Commission review with public hearings.
Recorded affordability covenants are enforceable. Owners who convert restricted units to market rate before the term expires face civil penalties, lawsuit by the city, and clawback of any tax abatement received during the restriction period.
