§ 278.4981. Ordinance requiring dedication: Contents

1. The ordinance adopted pursuant to NRS 278.4979 must set forth the standards to be applied in determining the amount of land that

is required to be dedicated. The ordinance must contain standards determining the amount, quality and location

of land that is required to be dedicated which are based upon the number and type

of dwelling units or structures, apartment houses or mobile home lots, or any combination

thereof, included in each subdivision or development and give due consideration to

the relative desirability and market value of the land that may be included within

the area of any particular proposed subdivision or development. 2. The ordinance must, without limiting the general powers conferred in this chapter,

include the following: (a) Provisions for the creation, in accordance with the applicable master plan, of

park districts or service areas which would serve neighborhoods or communities of

interest within the city or county. (b) A delegation of authority to designated departments or agencies of the city or

county to select the location of the land areas to be dedicated for park and playground

purposes. The land to be dedicated for park and playground purposes must be within the park

district or service area created pursuant to paragraph (a) in which the subdivision,

apartment house or mobile home lots are located. (c) A provision limiting the amount of land required to be dedicated to an amount

of land having a fair market value, determined by independent appraisal, which does

not exceed the amount of any residential construction tax which would otherwise have

been collected under NRS 278.4983 . (d) A provision for the transfer of title to the dedicated land upon the issuance

of building permits and the construction of the first unit of the subdivision or development

from which the land was dedicated. The ordinance may also contain a provision allowing an increase in the number of dwelling

units or structures, apartment houses or mobile home lots, or any combination of them,

in the subdivision equal to the number which would otherwise have been allowed on

the land dedicated for parks and playgrounds.
