The area described contains 15 acres in Clark County, Nevada.
The Calvary Chapel filed an application to develop the site as a
16,000-square foot K-12 school building to include classrooms, offices,
nursery, kitchen, restrooms, utility/storage rooms, and a lobby. A
20,000-square foot church building will include a worship center,
offices, lobby, nursery, kitchen, restrooms, and utility/storage rooms.
Buildings will be modular and erected or delivered on foundations
prepared within the site. Onsite improvements include lighted paved
parking, access drives, sidewalks, landscaping, walkways, meditation
path, landscaping, play/recreation areas, and gathering/multi-use
areas. Offsite improvements will be developed as required by governing
agencies.
The play area will support uses such as volleyball, basketball,
recess activities, and fair-weather gatherings.

The meditation paths will provide a natural environment, enhanced by
dispersed seating and desert landscape screening. This area may also be
used for outdoor education such as plant identification or
interpretation. The play area and meditation paths are planned for day
use activities. Additional information pertaining to this publication,
plan of development, and site plan is located in casefile N-95930,
which is available for review at the BLM Las Vegas Field Office at the
above address.
The lands are not needed for any Federal purposes, and do not
provide access to federal lands used for recreation. Lease or
conveyance of the lands for recreational or public purposes use is
consistent with the BLM Las Vegas Resource Management Plan dated
October 5, 1998, and would be in the public interest. The Calvary
Chapel has not applied for more than the 6,400-acre limitation for
recreation uses in a year, nor more than 640 acres for each of the
programs involving public resources other than recreation.
All interested parties will receive a copy of this notice once it
is published in the Federal Register. A copy of the Notice with
information about this realty action will publish in the newspaper of
local circulation once a week for three consecutive weeks. The
regulations at 43 CFR 2741 addressing requirements and procedures for
conveyances under the R&PP Act do not require a public meeting.
Upon publication of the Notice in the Federal Register, the lands
will be segregated from all other forms of appropriation under public
lands laws, except for the lease or conveyance under the R&PP Act and
leasing under the mineral leasing laws. The segregation effect shall
terminate upon issuance of the lease, upon final rejection of the
application, or 18 months from the date of this notice, whichever
occurs first.
The lease or conveyance of the land, when issued, will be subject
to the following terms, conditions, and reservations:
1. A right-of-way thereon for ditches and canals constructed by the
authority of the United States Act of August 30, 1890 (26 Stat. 391; 43
U.S.C. 945).
2. Provisions of the R&PP Act and to all applicable regulations of
the Secretary of the Interior.
3. All mineral deposits in the land so patented, and the right to
prospect for, mine, and remove such deposits from the same under
applicable law and regulations as established by the Secretary of the
Interior are reserved to the United States, together with all necessary
access and exit rights.
4. Lease or conveyance of the parcel is subject to valid existing
rights.
5. An appropriate indemnification clause protecting the United
States from claims arising out of the lessee's/patentee's use,
occupancy, or occupations on the leased/patented lands.
6. Any other reservations that the authorized officer determines
appropriate to ensure public access and proper management of Federal
lands and interests therein.
Any lease and conveyance will also 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.
Interested persons may submit comments involving the suitability of
the land for development of a church and K-12 school in the City of
Henderson. Comments on the classification 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.
Interested parties may submit comments regarding the specific use
proposed in the application, plan of development and management, and
whether the BLM followed proper administrative procedures in reaching
the decision to lease and convey under the R&PP Act.
Before including your address, phone number, email address, or
other personally identifiable information in any comment, be aware that
your entire comment including your personally identifiable information
may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask the BLM
in your comment to withhold your personally identifiable information
from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.
Only written comments submitted to the Assistant Field Manager,
Division of Lands, BLM Las Vegas Field Office, will be considered
properly filed. Any adverse comments will be reviewed by the BLM Nevada
State Director or other authorized official of the Department of the
Interior, who may sustain, vacate, or modify this realty action.
In the absence of any adverse comments, the decision will become
effective on October 21, 2019. The lands will not be available for
