Revises provisions relating to housing. (BDR 22-65)

Section 1 of this bill requires each governing body of a county or city to adopt an ordinance that authorizes by-right a multifamily housing development or mixed-use development that includes a residential use on property zoned for commercial use. Section 1 also authorizes such an ordinance to establish certain standards and requirements to qualify for such a by-right development. Section 1 further provides that any such ordinance does not apply to any property: (1) that is zoned for or in relation to an airport; or (2) within the region defined in the Tahoe Regional Planning Compact. (NRS 277.200) Section 1 further provides that property zoned for commercial use does not include property zoned for industrial use. Section 5 of this bill declares void any ordinance, regulation or rule of a county or city which conflicts with the provisions of this bill. Existing law authorizes the governing body of a county or city to divide the county, city or region into zoning districts of such number, shape and area as are best suited to carry out certain purposes. Within a zoning district, the governing body may regulate and restrict the erection, construction, reconstruction, alteration, repair or use of buildings, structures or land. (NRS 278.250) Section 4 of this bill creates an exception to account for the requirement that the governing body of a county or city adopt an ordinance to authorize by-right a multifamily housing development or mixed-use development that includes a residential use on property zoned for commercial use pursuant to section 1. Existing law requires that an action or proceeding seeking judicial relief or review from or with respect to any final action, decision or order of any governing body of a county or city be commenced within 25 days after the date of filing of notice of the final action, decision or order with the clerk or secretary of the governing body. (NRS 278.0235) Section 3 of this bill applies these provisions to section 1. Section 2 of this bill makes a conforming change to apply the definitions of certain terms relating to planning and zoning to section 1. Existing law requires the State Land Registrar to execute on behalf of the State of Nevada any lease, deed or other document by which any land or interest therein owned by the State is conveyed. (NRS 321.003) Section 5.3 of this bill authorizes the State Land Registrar to transfer title to certain real property owned by the State, with certain restrictions, to Catholic Charities of Northern Nevada and the Reno-Sparks Gospel Mission. Section 5.3 provides that such a transfer is conditioned upon the Reno Redevelopment Agency entering into certain agreements with Catholic Charities of Northern Nevada or the Reno-Sparks Gospel Mission. Section 5.3 further provides that such agreements must require the Reno Redevelopment Agency to: (1) survey and generate a legal description for the portions of real property that the State Land Registrar is authorized to transfer to each entity; and (2) pay the costs relating to the transfer of the real properties. Section 5.5 of this bill requires the deed for the real properties to include certain restrictions and provide for the reversion of the title to the real properties under certain circumstances.
