DEVELOPMENT SCENARIO
FORM-BASED CODE: BUILT FOR FLEXIBILITY
915 E. Carson Ave. falls within the City of Las Vegas Form-Based Code (LVMC Chapter 19.09), designated T5
Neighborhood (T5-N) in the Fremont East District. Adopted as part of the Vision 2045 Downtown Las Vegas Master
Plan, the Form-Based Code replaces conventional zoning with a streamlined, form-first f ramework that gives
developers greater flexibility and a more predictable path to entitlement.
What This Means for Developers:
• Regulates the physical form of buildings — not just what happens inside them — creating a wider range of
permissible uses by right
• Mixed-use development (residential over retail, restaurant, or off ice) may be achievable without special use
permits or variances, provided the building form meets district standards
• Pre-approved building types and f rontage standards reduce entitlement uncertainty and accelerate the
development timeline
• Designed to support walkable, medium-intensity urban neighborhoods served by transit and neighborhood
commercial uses
• Carson Ave.’s recent designation as “Restaurant Row” by the City of Las Vegas reinforces the corridor’s identity
as an activated, pedestrian-oriented destination
Potential Development Concepts:
• Multifamily residential (micro-units, workforce housing, market-rate apartments)
• Mixed-use: residential above ground-floor restaurant, retail, or creative off ice
• Boutique hotel or short-term hospitality
• Creative off ice or coworking space
• Neighborhood-serving food and beverage or specialty retail
Why This Site, Why Now:
• Carson Ave. is in the f inal stages of a $378M RTC Maryland Parkway Bus Rapid Transit corridor improvement
delivering widened sidewalks, enhanced transit shelters, shared bus-bike lanes, and new streetscape — on
track for completion fall 2026
• Surrounded by DTP Companies’ 45-acre downtown portfolio with signif icant undeveloped holdings actively
being brought to market
• Qualified Opportunity Zone designation offering potential tax advantages for long-term investors
• Priced below the average of recent comparable downtown land sales, representing a compelling entry point
for developers seeking density in the Fremont East corridor
Buyer to verify all development standards, permitted building types, height and density allowances, and entitlement requirements with the
City of Las Vegas Department of Planning.
