(NRS 244.146, 268.0035) Existing law defines “matter of local concern” to include planning, zoning, development and redevelopment. (NRS 244.143, 268.003) Sections 2 and 6 of this bill eliminate planning, zoning, development and redevelopment from the definition of “matter of local concern.” As a result, the board of county commissioners or the governing body of a city will not have authority to regulate planning, zoning, development and redevelopment as a matter of local concern. Sections 1 and 5 of this bill prohibit a board of county commissioners or the governing body of an incorporated city from enacting any ordinance or measure that imposes rent control.
