4.11.1. No Action

DIRECT AND INDIRECT EFFECTS

Under the No Action alternative, there would be no additional facilities built on the property, resulting in no adverse or beneficial effect to visual resources. As UNLV caretakers and security personnel are removed from the ranch, the facilities would continue to deteriorate. Existing ad hoc parking and circulation would increase, resulting in widening and deterioration of landscaping and natural vegetation. Vandalism may also occur at greater levels with less restoration activities. Therefore, the No Action alternative would result in direct effects that would be adverse and long term.

CUMULATIVE EFFECTS

There would be no cumulative effects to visual resources as a result of the No Action alternative.
