BACKGROUND: 

Greater Las Vegas Short Term Rental Association sued Clark County for numerous alleged constitutional issues with Clark County's short-term rental license ordinance and filed a motion to enjoin the ordinance. The District Court granted the motion in part and denied the motion in part, finding that the Plaintiff had public interest standing. The District Court allowed most of the ordinance to stay in place, including the ability to issue licenses, but preliminarily enjoined a few provisions for being facially unconstitutionally vague and overbroad. The District Attorney's Office believes the motion was incorrectly granted in part and is appealing certain issues. However, there are a few issues with the code that can be clarified to comply with the Court's order without filing an appeal, which this ordinance will address.

The District Attorney's Office recommends that the Board of County Commissioners introduce the ordinance to amend Chapter 7.100 of the County Code and set a public hearing for April 4, 2023, at 10:00 a.m.
