Land Use & Zoning
In Nevada, the concept of 'police power' as applied to zoning is limited by the requirement that regulations must:
ABe approved by NRED
BSubstantially advance a legitimate government interest and not deprive owners of all economic value✓ Correct
CBe passed by a statewide referendum
DInclude compensation to affected property owners
Explanation
Zoning regulations (police power) are constitutional if they substantially advance a legitimate government interest. A regulation that deprives an owner of all economic value without compensation may constitute a regulatory taking requiring just compensation.
