A judge heard motions regarding a Red Rock development plan Thursday.
Save Red Rock is looking to prevent developers from building more than 5,000 homes at Red Rock Canyon .
The battle has been going on for years.
Clark County and the developer want to rezone the area near Red Rock Canyon so thousands of homes can be built.
Save Red Rock says all the homes will hurt the ecosystem and the amount of people will cause more traffic on nearby roads.
On Thursday morning in court, a judge denied a couple of motions.
In one of them, the judge ruled to go forward with plans drafted in 2016 versus the old plans from 2011.
In the other motion, the judge said he would not throw out a lawsuit Clark County has against Save Red Rock.
The possible housing development could still happen. The Clark County Commission is scheduled to vote on it Feb. 22.

On my bike ride yesterday at Mt. Charleston, I got great news from the NDOT patrol. The Mojave Fire crews were cleaning up the last of the gear and the roads would be open at 2pm. I took pictures of the saved greenery and felt so much gratitude for the fire fighters who had conquered this 2800 acre beast. #thankyoufirefighters. Save Red Rock is working on fire prevention in Lovell Canyon, the part of Toiyabe National Forest that is in Red Rock. This is a real concern. Let’s do our part to make it through another season unscathed. Thank you to all who are being extra careful during fire season, and especially to NDOT, the USFS, and the fire fighting crews. #heroes #staygreen #savemtcharleston #saveredrock #usfs #toyiabenationalforest #ndot ...

The Mahogany Fire is now 98% contained! It is very important to still follow the Fire Restrictions that are put in place for everyone's safety - especially for nature's safety!
"Fire managers are urging the public to avoid the areas of Lee and Kyle Canyon so crews can efficiently move firefighting apparatus. They also ask that drones not be flown anywhere near the fire area, as this can hamper the ability to use firefighting aircraft."
