SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The parcel is located at the northeast
corner of Hollywood Boulevard and Sahara Avenue in Clark County,
Nevada, and is legally described as:
Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada
T. 21 S., R. 62 E.,
sec. 2, lots 28, 30, 33, and 41 thru 46.
The area described contains 7.20 acres, according to the
official plat of the survey of said land, on file with the BLM.
In accordance with the R&PP Act (43 U.S.C. 869 et seq.), Clark
County Real Property Management has filed an application to develop a
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police substation that would directly support a
proposed adjacent public park, fire station, high school, housing
communities, and businesses. The new substation is needed to house
police equipment and personnel necessary to perform all job duties and
maintain all aspects of the substation, which will support the
surrounding areas of northeast Las Vegas. Clark County has requested
that the BLM change the authorized use of 7.20 acres of public land in
Clark County, Nevada, from use as a portion of the Hollywood Regional
Park and the undeveloped Clark County Family Services building to use
for a Las Vegas Metropolitan Police substation. The above-described
land was previously classified by a notice published in the Federal
Register (62 FR 59789) on November 3, 1999, for Recreation and Public
Purposes, and the current use for a fire station, regional park, and a
Clark County Family Services building was established by a notice (70
FR 4144) published on January 28, 2005.
The proposed facility consists of administrative offices; cubicles;
conference rooms; briefing rooms; interview rooms; locker rooms with
showers and restroom stalls; janitorial closets with common household
cleaning supplies; break rooms; a kitchen with refrigerator, microwave,
gas stove, vending machines, water fountains, sinks, flat screen
televisions, tables, and chairs; an armory room containing handguns,
rifles, shotguns, tazers, body cameras, radios, and multiple types of
ammunition stored in a fire proof safe; an I.D.F. room that contains
communication servers/data; and an evidence room.
The exterior of the main facility would be landscaped with standard
desert landscaping materials. Plans include an unsecured paved parking
lot, a secured employee parking lot, a storage shed, and a backup
diesel fuel generator. The generator would be maintained regularly and
checked for any leaks or spills. If there is such a leak or spill, it
will be contained within a concrete secondary containment enclosure and
cleaned per appropriate standards.
There will be an additional 360 square foot locked storage shed in
the secured employee parking lot housing handheld fuel tanks, damaged
vehicle parts, air compressor, road flares, car jacks, traffic cones,
battery jumper, hand tools, water jugs, additional location lighting,
and power cords. There will be trash enclosures picked up by Republic
Services on a schedule, 24-hour video monitoring, lighting, and typical
local utilities for direct support of the proposed substation.
Additional detailed information pertaining to the BLM's proposed
change of authorized use or the county's plan of development and site
plan is available in case file N-97410, which will be available for
review at the BLM Las Vegas Field Office at the above address. Clark
County Real Property Management is a political subdivision of the State
of Nevada and is, therefore, a qualified applicant under the R&PP Act.
Subject to limitations prescribed by law and regulation, prior to
patent issuance, the holder of any right-of-way grant from the BLM
within the lease area would be given the opportunity to amend the
right-of-way grant for
[[Page 33395]]
conversion to a new term, including perpetuity, if applicable.
The land identified is not needed for any Federal purpose. The
proposed change of authorized use for lease and/or conveyance is
consistent with the BLM Las Vegas Resource Management Plan dated
October 5, 1998, and would be in the public interest. Clark County Real
Property Management has not applied for more than the 640-acre annual
limitation for public purpose uses and has submitted a statement that
their application is for a definite project as required by regulations
at 43 CFR 2741.4(b).
The change of authorized use for lease and/or conveyance, when
issued, will be subject to the provisions of the R&PP Act and
applicable regulations of the Secretary of the Interior, and any patent
issued will contain the following reservations to the United States:
1. A right-of-way thereon for ditches or canals constructed by the
authority of the United States, Act of August 30, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 945);
and
2. All minerals shall be reserved to the United States, together
with the right to prospect for, mine, and remove such deposits for the
same under applicable law and such regulations as the Secretary of the
Interior may prescribe; and
3. Any lease and conveyance will also be subject to valid existing
rights, will contain any terms or conditions required by law
(including, but not limited to, any terms or conditions required by 43
CFR 2741.4), and will contain an appropriate indemnification clause
protecting the United States from claims arising out of the lessee's/
patentee's use, occupancy, or operations on the leased/patented lands.
It will also contain any other terms and conditions deemed necessary
and appropriate by the Authorized Officer; and
4. Any other reservations that the authorized officer determines
appropriate to ensure public access and proper management of Federal
lands and interests therein.
The subject public lands described above were previously withdrawn
from location and entry under the U.S. mining laws and from operation
of the mineral and geothermal leasing laws by the Southern Nevada
Public Land Management Act of 1998 (Pub. L. 105-263), as amended. Upon
publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the land described
above will be further segregated from all other forms of appropriation
under the public land laws, except for lease and conveyance under the
R&PP Act.
Interested parties may also submit written comments regarding the
specific use proposed in the application and plan of development, and
whether the BLM followed proper administrative procedures in reaching
the decision to lease and convey under the R&PP Act. Comments on the
change of authorized use are restricted to whether the land is
physically suited for the proposal, whether the use will maximize the
future use or uses of the land, whether the use is consistent with
local planning and zoning, or if the use is consistent with state and
Federal programs.
Before including your address, phone number, email, address, or
other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be
aware that your entire comment--including your personal identifying
information--may be made publicly available at any time. While you can
ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be
able to do so. Only written comments submitted to the Assistant Field
Manager, BLM Las Vegas Field Office, will be considered properly filed.
Any adverse comments on the change of authorized use will be reviewed
as protests by the BLM Nevada State Director, who may sustain, vacate,
or modify this realty action. In the absence of any adverse comments,
the decision will become effective on June 28, 2024.
Authority: 43 CFR 2741.5.
Bruce Sillitoe,
Field Manager, Las Vegas Field Office.
