Talk:Blue Diamond Hill housing proposals

The Name Red Rock
AJFU: Great job on enhancing the article! Quite well done. I'll remove my proposed merger shortly. One very small thing, which is quite insignificant in light of all of your work, is that you made a change where you removed a citation that I made, where your edit summary was "". I had spent a bit of time looking in to this, and I thought it would help to summarize my findings here. The URL in question must have been removed since my August 8 edit. Fortunately, Archive.org has a copy from February 2020. Even more fortunately, there is a more up to date link. The Bylaws state that the CAC " assist the Board of County Commissioners in governing the unincorporated areaof Red Rockby acting as a  liaison  between  the  residents  of  the area and  the  Board  of  County  Commissioners  and  to advise the Board of County Commissioners on matters of importance to the unincorporated area and its residents." This seems like a citation that is relevant to this area. Perhaps we could reinstate the citation with the more up to date link?

BTW - Here are a few possible references for the name "Red Rock" as applied to the community: a map, Clark County Title 30 has a link to Appendix G Map 12 ............ Red Rock Design Overlay District Map, Clark County Ordinances has 19 mentions. So there are some sources for the use of Red Rock to refer to the proposed development. (Not all of the 19 mentions are for the development...)

One minor detail that you might find interesting is that Ordinance "1343 Changes Blue Diamond Citizens Advisory Council to Red Rock Citizens Advisory Council (Special)". The Red Rock Citizens Advisory Committee page has a link to the bylaws, which state that Ordinance 1343 was passed in December, 1991. This would seem to be well before the development plans.

Again, congratulations on the good job with the expansion! Cxbrx (talk) 02:55, 31 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Thank you. Anyway, the Cielo Encantado section already mentions that the citizens advisory council "advises the Clark County Commission on land issues regarding Blue Diamond, Red Rock Canyon, and other nearby areas." Details about the council's history (such as the name change in 1991) don't seem relevant here, since the council's history and advice go beyond the housing project. Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area might be the best place to add details about the history of the advisory council, if it's notable enough.


 * Those maps and ordinances all seem to be referring to the Red Rock Overlay District, a name used to refer to the overall region. It doesn't refer to any specific housing community. The overlay area is defined here as "The area generally known as the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area and adjacent lands, including the southern Gateway Corridor (routes historically defining entrance to the area), the Calico Basin, and the town of Blue Diamond."

 * I think Blue Diamond Hill housing proposals (or some similar variation) would be the best title. AJFU  (talk) 22:48, 6 September 2020 (UTC)


 * The title of the article is an interesting question. In looking at the references, most of them refer to Red Rock, typically "near Red Rock" etc.  Perhaps the editors of the references had similar questions as to how to refer to the proposed development.   Moving the article to Blue Diamond Hill housing proposals would be fine with me.  Red Rock housing proposals would also be OK with me. Cxbrx (talk) 15:50, 7 September 2020 (UTC)


 * I think Red Rock housing proposals and maybe Red Rock community would do fine as redirects, as they seem like likely search terms. AJFU  (talk) 22:08, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Red Rock housing proposals seems better than Red Rock community because there is no community there yet. I took a quick look for other articles with "housing proposal" and other similar phrases and did not come up with a bunch of other pages.  So, we could go with something and see what happens.
