Section 1 also authorizes such an ordinance to establish certain standards and requirements to qualify for such a by-right development. Section 1 further provides that any such ordinance does not apply to any property: (1) that is zoned for or in relation to an airport; or (2) within the region defined in the Tahoe Regional Planning Compact. (NRS 277.200) Section 1 further provides that property zoned for commercial use does not include property zoned for industrial use.
