277.350  Powers; preparation and submission of comprehensive economic development strategies and other plans; right of counties and cities to conduct local or subregional planning unaffected.

      1.  A district has and may exercise all powers which are necessary or convenient to enable it to perform and carry out the duties and responsibilities of NRS 277.300 to 277.390, inclusive.

      2.  A district may prepare and submit for adoption, after appropriate study and such public hearings as it deems necessary, comprehensive economic development strategies and other plans for governmental units, individually or collectively within the region. Plans may consist of policy statements, goals, standards, programs and maps prescribing guides for orderly development within the jurisdiction subject to the plan. The plans must recognize and incorporate planning principles which encompass physical, social or economic needs of the region. In preparing development plans, the district shall use, to the maximum extent feasible, the resources, studies and data available from other planning agencies within the region, including counties, cities, special districts and subregional planning agencies, and the resources of state agencies.

      3.  The creation of a regional development district does not affect the right of counties or cities to conduct local or subregional planning. It is the purpose of NRS 277.300 to 277.390, inclusive, to encourage local and subregional planning. A regional development district shall, as far as is practicable, use the data, resources and input of local planning agencies.
