§ 278.0261. Legislative findings and declaration

The Legislature hereby finds and declares that: 1. The process of regional planning in a county whose population is 100,000 or more

but less than 700,000, as set forth in NRS 278.026 to 278.029 , inclusive, ensures that comprehensive planning will be carried out with respect

to population, conservation, land use and transportation, public facilities and services,

annexation and intergovernmental coordination. 2. The process of regional planning set forth in NRS 278.026 to 278.029 , inclusive, does not specifically limit the premature expansion of development into

undeveloped areas or address the unique needs and opportunities that are characteristic

of older neighborhoods in a county whose population is 100,000 or more but less than

700,000. 3. The problem of the premature expansion of development into undeveloped areas and

the unique needs and opportunities that are characteristic of older neighborhoods

may be addressed through: (a) Cooperative efforts to preserve and revitalize urban areas and older neighborhoods;

and (b) Review of the master plans, facilities plans and other similar plans of local

governments and other affected entities. 4. It is the intent of the Legislature with respect to NRS 278.026 to 278.029 , inclusive, that each local government and affected entity shall exercise its powers

and duties in a manner that is in harmony with the powers and duties exercised by

other local governments and affected entities to enhance the long-term health and

welfare of the county and all its residents.
