Whenever the Planning Commission, the "commission", is required by Nevada Revised Statutes or this title to make a recommendation to the Board concerning an application for a development permit, the commission shall conduct a public hearing, if required by this title, in accordance with the provisions of chapter 10 of this title. The public hearing shall be held within the time established by law. (Ord. 603, 11-1-2018)

Whenever the commission has been delegated as the final decision- making authority for a development permit pursuant to this title, it shall approve, conditionally approve, deny or continue the application at a public meeting, following receipt of the report and recommendation of the Director. For an approval, a majority of the Commissioners present must vote to approve the item. A vote of less than a majority of the Commissioners present to approve or a tie vote is considered a denial.

When considering adoption or amendment of the Master Plan, the commission shall conduct all reviews, hearings and decision- making in conformance with the provisions of this chapter and chapter 210 of this title.

When considering an appeal, the commission must, at a public meeting, decide whether to affirm, reverse or modify only those items raised in the appeal, following receipt of the report and recommendation of the Director and upon consideration of the proceedings below. The commission may attach any reasonably necessary conditions when approving a permit that was denied by the Director or the final decision-maker. If a public hearing is required by this title prior to decision, the hearing shall be noticed and conducted in the manner provided in chapters 9 and 10 of this title. The public hearing shall be held within the time established by law. The Director shall notify the applicant of the decision of the commission, in writing, within three (3) working days. (Ord. 603, 11-1-2018)

If the commission denies or conditionally approves the application, the Director shall notify the applicant and Board of the commission's decision, in writing, within three (3) working days of the decision and inform the applicant of appeal rights and procedures. If the decision is on a zoning permit application within an advisory board's boundary that the advisory board has reviewed under section 15.05.01 of this title, a copy of the decision must be sent to the advisory board at the same time. (Ord. 603, 11-1-2018)

The decision of the commission regarding any development application may be appealed to the appellate body in the manner and time-frame provided in section 15.12.02 of this title. (Ord. 603, 11-1-2018)
