NAC278.860. Advisory Planning Commission.

     1. Matters which have been submitted to the Agency for approval may first be submitted to the Advisory Planning Commission for review and recommendation, unless the governing body determines that a particular matter is of such a nature or urgency that the public interest requires it to act without delay and without review and recommendation by the Commission.

     2. The Commission shall consider each matter submitted with regard to the environmental impact and effect of each such proposal including the availability of services, public facilities and resources and the capacity of the environment to tolerate additional development. Based upon such considerations, the Commission shall submit a report and recommendation of the matters considered by it to the governing body.

     3. The governing body may consider the report and recommendations of the Commission but need not be bound thereby. The governing body may hear additional testimony and argument concerning any matter or proposal submitted before acting thereon.

     4. The Commission shall meet at such times and upon such notice as directed and determined by the governing body.

     5. Members of the governing body may attend and participate in meetings of the Commission but such members may not be counted in determining whether a quorum is present and such members may not vote.
