NRS 278A.430 - Applicability; purposes; tentative approval not required under certain circumstances.


1. In order to provide an expeditious method for processing a plan for a planned unit development under the terms of an ordinance enacted pursuant to the powers granted under this chapter, and to avoid the delay and uncertainty which would arise if it were necessary to secure approval by a multiplicity of local procedures of a plat or subdivision or resubdivision, as well as approval of a change in the zoning regulations otherwise applicable to the property, it is hereby declared to be in the public interest that all procedures with respect to the approval or disapproval of a planned unit development and its continuing administration must be consistent with the provisions set out in this section and NRS 278A.440 to 278A.590, inclusive.
2. Unless otherwise provided in the ordinance, a tentative approval of the plan for a planned unit development is not required. If the ordinance requires both tentative and final approval, the city or county shall comply with the procedures set forth in this section and NRS 278A.440 to 278A.590, inclusive, for granting tentative approval and final approval of the plan.
