BACKGROUND: 

The proposed amendments to the Clark County Code will: (1) remove “Farmers’ Markets” and “Holiday Events” from the definition of “Special Event”; (2) exempt events held by a Nevada common-interest community pursuant to a use and maintenance agreement for a County park, if the terms of which allow the common-interest community to hold community-based events at the park at no cost, from the requirements of Clark County Code Chapter 2.70; and (3) eliminate the requirement that event organizes pay a special event fee in addition to all other fees.

This amendment is intended to capture large-scale events and to include events that affect public rights‑of‑way, while preventing duplicative special event fees in coordination with the Department of Business License.

Staff recommends that a public hearing be set for July 7, 2026, at 10:00 A.M.
