1. Except as otherwise provided in NRS 268.820 , in lieu of funding by special assessments as provided in NRS 268.820 , the governing body may, by ordinance, require special licenses for businesses that operate in the district created pursuant to NRS 268.820 and establish fees for those licenses in such a manner as to distribute equitably the budgeted costs of operating, managing, maintaining and improving the pedestrian mall for the ensuing fiscal year among those businesses. The ordinance may establish reasonable categories of businesses subject to licensing and reasonable exemptions therefrom or abatements of the fees therefor. The amount of the fee for each license must be determined by floor area of licensed business space, sales volume or another reasonable basis or combination of bases as determined by the governing body. An offset may be allowed for any portion of the cost of operating, managing, maintaining or improving the pedestrian mall which a business has paid directly or through contributions to a private operating entity. 2. All fees imposed pursuant to subsection 1 must be: (a) Collected in the same manner as other business license fees are collected pursuant to this chapter; and (b) Deposited in a separate account for the district. 3. The balance in the account for the district at the end of the fiscal year must be conserved and applied towards the financial requirements of the next ensuing fiscal year. 4. The ordinance requiring the special business license must provide a reasonable appeal procedure for any administrative determination made pursuant to the provisions of this section.
