§ 278.0278. Project of regional significance: Finding of conformance with adopted regional plan required before final approval and commencement of construction; appeal of determination to governing board
1. Before a project of regional significance is approved finally by the county or
city and before construction on a project of regional significance may begin, the
regional planning commission must make a finding that the project is in conformance
with the adopted regional plan. In making its determination, the commission shall limit its review to the substance
and content of the adopted comprehensive regional plan and shall not consider the
merits or deficiencies of a project in a manner other than is necessary to enable
it to make that determination. 2. If the commission fails to make any finding regarding a project of regional significance
within 60 days after the project is submitted to it, it shall be deemed that the commission
has made a finding that the project conforms with the regional plan. 3. If the commission determines that the project is not in conformance with the regional
plan, the determination may be appealed to the governing board within 45 days after
the determination is made. The governing board shall consider the appeal and may reverse the determination of
the commission or recommend that the county or city take actions to make the proposal
consistent with the comprehensive regional plan. The county or city shall, within 45 days after receipt, consider any such recommendations
and direct such changes in the project as are necessary to assure the consistency
of the proposal with the adopted regional plan. 4. The limits on time imposed in subsection 2 of NRS 278.315, subsection 5 of NRS 278.330 and subsection 2 of NRS 278.349 are extended by 60 days or such period as may be necessary to complete the review
and any appeal provided for in this section.
