NRS 497.055 - Creation of joint airport zoning boards by airport authority and other political subdivisions.


1. Where an airport is owned or controlled by an airport authority created by special legislative act as a quasi-municipal corporation and any airport hazard area appertaining to that airport is located within the limits of the county or any incorporated city or unincorporated town within the geographical boundaries of the airport authority, the airport authority and the county, incorporated city or unincorporated town within which the airport hazard area is located may, by adopting substantially identical ordinances or resolutions, create a joint airport zoning board, which has the same power to adopt, administer and enforce airport zoning regulations applicable to the airport hazard area in question as that vested by NRS 497.040 in the political subdivision within which that area is located.
2. Each such joint board:
(a) Must have as members two representatives appointed by each political subdivision participating in its creation, and in addition a chair elected by a majority of the members so appointed.
(b) May consider noise problems related to the airport as they affect lands outside the boundaries of the airport and make recommendations to the airport authority.
