In addition to all other conditions that may be recommended by the commission and required by the Board pursuant to chapter 7 of this title in reviewing a tentative subdivision map, the following actions may be taken:

   A.   Except as otherwise provided, as a condition of tentative subdivision map approval, the commission may recommend and the Board may require that the subdivider install and dedicate to the County all public improvements, whether on-site or off-site, prior to the signing of the final subdivision map by the Director. In lieu of such requirement, the Board shall require that the subdivider provide adequate assurances for completion and maintenance of improvements.

   B.   The commission may recommend and the Board may require as a condition of tentative subdivision map approval that the subdivider divide the subdivision into two (2) or more phases, provided as follows:

      1.   Each phase must be designed to meet the public facilities and improvement standards independently and as part of the overall design.

      2.   Unless a longer time is provided in a development agreement or an agreement pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes 278.350, the final map must be approved and recorded for the initial phase within four (4) years of tentative subdivision map approval, and the final map for each subsequent phase must be approved and recorded within two (2) years following recording of the final map for the previous phase. The Board may grant a single extension of two (2) years for final map approval for each phase.

      3.   Unless a longer time is provided in a development agreement or an agreement pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes 278.350, all phases must be completed, and all final maps approved and recorded, within ten (10) years of the date of initial subdivision map approval by the Director.

      4.   Amendment of the approval to permit development beyond the initial ten (10) year period will require submission and approval of a new tentative subdivision map application, and the approval may be conditioned on compliance with statutes, codes, design standards, fees and capital improvements plans current at the time of application for such amendment.

      5.   The Board and the applicant may enter and adopt a development agreement, pursuant to chapter 110 of this title, to implement the provisions of this chapter.

   C.   Where an industrial or commercial subdivision is proposed pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes 278.325, and the subdivider desires to record a single final map without the completion or securing of improvements, the Board may approve the map and allow recording of the final map subject to the following:

      1.   A conceptual development phasing plan is submitted concurrently with the tentative map indicating the proposed development phasing, including a general description of improvements, on-site and off-site to be constructed with each development phase.

      2.   Improvement plans are to be submitted and approved for the entire project site. The improvement plans shall be subject to modification, based on changes to this title or the County design criteria and improvement standards as they relate to public health and safety.

   A.   The subdivider shall present to the Director a final subdivision map, prepared in accordance with the tentative subdivision map. The map shall cover the entire area for which the tentative subdivision map was approved, or one of a series of final subdivision maps, each covering one or more phases of the approved tentative subdivision map. Unless a longer time is provided in a development agreement or an agreement pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes 278.350, the final map covering the entire subdivision or the first of a series of final maps covering a portion of the approved tentative map shall be recorded within four (4) years after the date of approval of tentative subdivision map by the Board. If the subdivider elects to present a successive map in a series of final maps, the final map must be approved and recorded for the initial phase within four (4) years of tentative subdivision map approval, and the final map for each subsequent phase must be approved and recorded within two (2) years following recording of the final map for the previous phase. The Board may grant a single extension of two (2) years for final map approval for each phase.

   B.   The Board may extend the period for presentation of final successive subdivision map covering a portion of the approved tentative map for not more than two (2) years after the expiration of the two-year period for presenting the successive final subdivision map. If the subdivider is presenting in a timely manner a series of final maps, each covering a portion of the approved tentative map, no requirements other than those imposed on each of the final maps in the series may be placed on the map when an extension of time is granted unless the requirement is directly attributable to a change in applicable laws which affect the public health, safety or welfare. Extension applications must be accompanied by the applicable fee and written statement of justification, and must be filed forty five (45) days prior to the expiration of the final map.

   C.   At any time after tentative subdivision map approval, and before the time required for presentation of a final subdivision map, the subdivider may request amendment to the approval or conditional approval of the tentative subdivision map.

A subdivider who is unwilling to accept conditions attached to the proposed amendment may withdraw the amendment. Action on the application for amendment of the tentative subdivision map shall not stay the period for presenting the final subdivision map, unless a request for extension pursuant to subsection B of this section is approved.

   D.   If the subdivider fails to comply with the provisions of subsections A and B of this section, all proceedings concerning the subdivision including approvals are terminated. (Ord. 603, 11-1-2018; amd. Ord. 627, 6-7-2022)
