NRS 274.280 - Procedure to amend ordinance designating zone.


1. The terms of a certified ordinance designating a specially benefited zone may be amended to:
(a) Alter the boundaries of the zone;
(b) Limit or repeal financial incentives or benefits provided in the ordinance; or
(c) Alter the date for terminating the zone.
The amendment does not become effective unless the Governor issues an amended certificate for the zone. Upon the adoption of the amendment, the municipality shall promptly file with the Administrator an application for approval thereof, containing substantially the same information as required for an application under NRS 274.170 insofar as material to the proposed changes. The municipality must hold a public hearing on the proposed changes as specified in NRS 274.160.
2. The Governor shall approve or disapprove a proposed amendment to a certified specially benefited zone within 90 days after receiving the application from the municipality. The Governor may not approve changes in a zone which are not in conformity with this chapter or with other applicable laws. If the Governor issues an amended certificate for a specially benefited zone, the amended certificate, together with the amended designating ordinance, must be filed, recorded and transmitted as provided in NRS 274.200.
