NRS 548.410 Petition to formulate regulations; formulation; hearings; determination of whether referendum to be held.
1. The supervisors of any district may file petitions with the Commission at any time to request it to formulate land use regulations applicable to the district.
2. The Commission shall prescribe the form of the petition, which shall be, as nearly as practicable, in the form prescribed in this chapter for petitions to organize a district.
3. The Commission shall have authority to formulate regulations, based upon the petition, governing the use of lands within a district in the interest of conserving renewable natural resources and preventing and controlling soil erosion and sedimentation.
4. The Commission shall conduct, after due notice, public meetings and public hearings within the district or districts concerned upon such regulations as it deems necessary to assist it in consideration thereof.
5. The Commission shall determine, on the basis of information presented in the petition or brought out in public hearings, and on the basis of the number of petitioners in relation to the total number of occupiers of land lying within the district, whether it can render a reasonable determination of approval or denial of the petition without holding a referendum, or whether a referendum shall be held.
