278.4981 Ordinance requiring dedication: Contents.
1. The ordinance adopted pursuant to NRS 278.4979 must set forth the standards to be applied in determining the amount of land that is required to be dedicated. The ordinance must contain standards determining the amount, quality and location of land that is required to be dedicated which are based upon the number and type of dwelling units or structures, apartment houses or mobile home lots, or any combination thereof, included in each subdivision or development and give due consideration to the relative desirability and market value of the land that may be included within the area of any particular proposed subdivision or development.
2. The ordinance must, without limiting the general powers conferred in this chapter, include the following:
(a) Provisions for the creation, in accordance with the applicable master plan, of park districts or service areas which would serve neighborhoods or communities of interest within the city or county.
(b) A delegation of authority to designated departments or agencies of the city or county to select the location of the land areas to be dedicated for park and playground purposes. The land to be dedicated for park and playground purposes must be within the park district or service area created pursuant to paragraph (a) in which the subdivision, apartment house or mobile home lots are located.
(c) A provision limiting the amount of land required to be dedicated to an amount of land having a fair market value, determined by independent appraisal, which does not exceed the amount of any residential construction tax which would otherwise have been collected under NRS 278.4983.
(d) A provision for the transfer of title to the dedicated land upon the issuance of building permits and the construction of the first unit of the subdivision or development from which the land was dedicated.
Ê The ordinance may also contain a provision allowing an increase in the number of dwelling units or structures, apartment houses or mobile home lots, or any combination of them, in the subdivision equal to the number which would otherwise have been allowed on the land dedicated for parks and playgrounds.
