The Population Element is a required component of the city’s master plan as mandated by NRS 278.160. The Population Element was originally adopted in April 1992, and has not been updated since 2003.

The updated Population Element accomplishes the following:
- Brings element into conformance with NRS 278.160.
- Provides an analysis of the city’s existing population and projected future growth.
- Identifies potential natural resource constraints to future population growth.
- Identifies and makes recommendations for the future monitoring and projecting of population growth and establishing service standards.
The draft plan elements are available on the city’s Web site at www.lasvegasnevada.gov/planning.
