Any
city exercising authority under NRS 268.570 to 268.608 , inclusive, shall make plans
for the extension of services to the territory proposed to be annexed and
shall, at least 20 days before the public hearing provided for in NRS 268.590 , prepare and file with its city
clerk a report setting forth the plans to provide services to the territory.
The report must include:
1. An accurate map or plat of the
territory proposed to be annexed, prepared under the supervision of a competent
surveyor or engineer.
2. A map or maps of the city and the
adjacent territory to show the following information:
(a) The present and proposed boundaries of the
annexing city.
(b) The present streets and sewer interceptors
and outfalls and, if the annexing city operates its own water system or
furnishes other utility services, the present major trunk water lines and other
utility lines.
(c) The proposed extensions of the present
streets, sewer interceptors and outfalls, major trunk water mains and utility
lines, as the case may be, as required in subsection 4.
(d) The present and proposed general land use
pattern in the territory proposed to be annexed.
3. A statement showing that the territory
proposed to be annexed meets the requirements of NRS 268.580 .
4. A statement setting forth the plans of
the annexing city for extending into the territory proposed to be annexed each
major municipal service performed within the annexing city at the time of
annexation. Specifically, such plans:
(a) Must provide for extending police protection,
fire protection, street maintenance and garbage collection to the territory
proposed to be annexed on the effective date of the annexation, on
substantially the same basis and in the same manner as such services were
provided by the annexing city to the property owners and residents within the
remainder of the city immediately before the effective date of the annexation.
(b) Must provide for the extension of streets,
sewer interceptors and outfalls and other major municipal services into the
territory proposed to be annexed so that when the streets and utility services
are so extended, property owners and residents in the territory proposed to be
annexed will be able to secure such services, according to the policies in
effect in the annexing city for furnishing such services to individual lots or
subdivisions.
(c) May provide that the extension of streets,
sewer interceptors and outfalls and other major municipal services be done at
the expense of the property owners in the territory proposed to be annexed, if
it is the policy of the annexing city, at the time of the annexation, to
furnish such services to individual lots or subdivisions at the expense of the
property owners, either by means of special assessment districts or the
requirement of the dedication of essential rights-of-way and the installation
of off-site improvements as a prerequisite to the approval of subdivision plats
or to the issuance of any building permit, rezoning, zone variance or special
use permit. In that event, the plans must designate which services, or portions
thereof, will be extended at the expense of the annexing city and which
services, or portions thereof, will be extended at the expense of the property
owners. Services extended at the property owners cost must be distributed and
allocated to each parcel of property based on current costs, including both
improvement costs and projected service costs, and must be a part of the
annexation plan prepared by the municipality.
(d) Must, if the extension of any streets, sewer
interceptors and outfalls or other major municipal services into the territory
proposed to be annexed is to be done at the expense of the annexing city, set
forth a proposed schedule for the construction of the extensions as soon as
possible following the effective date of the annexation. In any event, the
plans must call for contracts to be let and construction to begin within 24
months following the effective date of the annexation.
(e) Must set forth the method under which the
annexing city plans to finance the extension of any services into the territory
proposed to be annexed which is to be done at the expense of the annexing city.
