The North Las Vegas Planning Commission meeting on June 11, 2025, focused on community concerns regarding a proposed vehicle, boat, and RV service facility at the Northeast Corner of Loci Road and Deer Springs Way. Residents expressed strong opposition to the development, citing increased traffic congestion and a lack of beneficial amenities for families and seniors.

Several speakers, including community members from the nearby Del Webb Northmatch and Watercolor communities, voiced their frustrations. One resident presented a petition signed by 53 local residents opposing the proposal, arguing that the facility would not enhance property values or provide necessary services for the community. Instead, they called for developments that would cater to local needs, such as restaurants, grocery stores, and wellness facilities.

Chris Middleton, a resident of the Watercolor community, highlighted concerns about the potential for increased congestion and noise, stating that the area is already home to several vehicle-focused businesses. He emphasized that the community deserves developments that would improve their quality of life rather than contribute to traffic issues.

Vince Morel b Villan echoed these sentiments, advocating for growth that aligns with the needs of families in the area. He suggested that the proposed facility would not serve the community effectively and urged the commission to consider alternatives that would better support local residents.

Janice Blackmore, manager of the Preserve Apartments, also expressed her opposition, noting the high number of accidents in the area and the existing commercial developments that do not meet the community's needs for food and grocery access.

The meeting concluded with the public forum closing, leaving the commission to deliberate on the proposal amidst significant community pushback. The residents' unified stance indicates a strong desire for developments that prioritize their needs over commercial interests.
